+1, I always enjoy Dagstuhl, Lorentz and informal workshops the most. It's a pity that too many people are pushed towards the big conferences, for whatever stupid reasons. I mean, happy for those who enjoy the big ones, but I certainly prefer the more focused events, ideally w/o proceedings

The sad truth is that whenever I push against recommendation letters, the proposal is outvoted by colleagues who say that "every honorable Institution asks for recommendation letters" 🤷 (and there is little correlation between seniority and this attitude 🤷). Anyway, I keep suggesting this ...

La rêve !
And maybe one day we do not need to provide each and every information in 3 different (badly designed) forms neither. And maybe just one fsd advice and not two? And maybe no triple validation of lab direction needed to buy a train ticket for 40 euros? Oh, dear France, life could be 🏖️

Un jour, les services comptables de l'université arrêteront de demander des "RIB" pour les étrangers et ce jour là, la recherche française fera un bon de productivité avec tout le temps gagné

Point sets of low discrepancy are useful in a number of applications. Essentially, wherever you use Sobol sampling, you could replace by more specifically optimized sets. We have tons of ideas for how to improve further, using classic optimization, learning, heuristics. Happy to collaborate :-)
