Check out our work on LILO led by @kasia_kobalczyk and @ItsMrLin. LILO allows users to perform black box optimization with natural language feedback.
Hope to see you at the poster at #ICML2026

Strongest possible advice to early grad students: you need outside hobbies or projects that are meaningful to you. It is dangerous for your only source of value, identity, and friendship to be academia. You absolutely have to find something else to invest in, it’s just not safe

(please retweet) I am taking CS PhD students! If you are interested in ML, data science, health, or inequality, please apply to Cornell :)
We have an island campus in New York City and a fantastic group of students I feel lucky to collaborate with every day. Join us!

Apple flexing so hard about how they gave back ports that they took away is just poetry.

Important additional context:
- Many new survivors have come forward
- CSE is considering tenuring Lasecki right now
- The survivors who spoke to The Daily are some of the bravest people I know
“My experience was a part of a pattern of behavior”
The Daily’s first issue of a two part investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against CSE professor Walter Lasecki.

Last year at @CompPolicyLab, we created the country’s first race-blind charging platform, intended to reduce racial bias in prosecutor’s charging decisions. We’ve analyzed the data! Here’s what happened when we deployed it in a major district attorney’s office (thread)

Do you think you would you have discovered a gorilla hiding in plain sight in your data? We found that you are 5 times less likely to do so if you have a specific hypothesis in mind.

I spent a humiliating amount of time learning how to make animated graphs, just to illustrate a fairly obvious point.
“Forecasting s-curves is hard”
My views on why carefully following daily figures is unlikely to provide insight.
