Now that I've written more Python than I care to admit, I'm getting tired of duplicating abstractions: one for sync code and another for async. Effect polymorphism wanted.

There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding here. I don't think PhD students complete assigned tasks. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/03/w...

Photo taken today at @browncsdept.bsky.social. I'm glad to see that the PhD students (@genevievemp.bsky.social), furniture, and faculty seem to have not changed in 10+ years.

The real lesson from DeepSeek is the importance of good old-fashioned computer science. Every day this week, they've been doing open source releases. The latest is their in-house distributed file system. github.com/deepseek-ai/...

O1, R1, etc. are so good that we evaluate them on “PhD-level” benchmarks. But, these benchmarks are so hard that most people can’t even understand what they are testing. We’ve built a benchmark with problems that are hard to solve but easy to verify: for both humans and models.

Last one: there are a LOT of people to blame for this one. I think @jasvir.bsky.social is to blame for this problem in "Humanity's Last Exam".

Ugh, who did this? @joepolitz.bsky.social ? Wait, was it @dbp.bsky.social ? Someone else from @shriram.bsky.social's group? Also from "Humanity's Last Exam".

OK, who is responsible for this? Is it @natefoster.bsky.social? Source: "Humanity's Last Exam" www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/t...

It was fun to be a part of this. We analyze a dataset of student-LLM interactions on programming tasks and ask: what do students get wrong when prompting?

Counterintuitively, this shows the power of GC. IIRC I've heard of similar tricks used for high-performance OCaml at Jane Street.
