"textContent": "In no particular order,\n\nByramji, Kane, Morris, and Ostuni proved an almost tight separation for adaptive vs non-adaptive sampling in the word model. Previous papers I blogged about earlier, see this and this prove weaker separations.\n\nAnother very cool work is the sampling lower bound for low-degree polynomials by Khodabandeh and Shinkar. They appear to be able to boost a non-trivial sampling lower bound to an exponential one using some type of sunflower result for polynomials.\n\nBy Manu",
