Trying to be a better programmer than yesterday.
Follow me for programming and higher-study updates.
Glad to share that our article, “Graph-based Federated Learning for Smart Healthcare: A Comprehensive Survey,” has been accepted in Future Generation Computer Systems, Elsevier (Q1, IF: 6.1).
In addition we discuss how graph-aware federated learning can improve collaboration across institutions, preserve privacy, and better capture real-world complexity. Grateful to everyone who contributed to this work. Looking forward to pushing this direction further.
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 30-minute speech by the Head of Anthropic’s Coding Agents research team. It will teach you more about vibe coding than 100 paid courses.
This 2 hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT & Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
Bookmark this & give 2 hours today, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you do this week.
Thanks to good people at @AnthropicAI we now have an official MCP for Excalidraw!
Take it for a spin on @claudeai (search for Excalidraw in Connectors, or use in Claude Code and elsewhere).
More to come. ✌
