🚨 Attention aspiring PhD students: Meta / FAIR is looking for candidates for a joint academic/industry PhD! 🚨

Among others, the CodeGen team is looking for candidates to work on world models for code, discrete search & continuous optimization methods for long-term planning, large-scale RL, and related topics.

A joint industry / academic PhD gives you the best of both worlds: academic freedom, strong support for open science & open source, a gigantic compute cluster, and amazing colleagues working as a team. Oh, and FREE FOOD. Truly a great opportunity 😄

Ideal candidates should have strong engineering skills and a solid understanding of ML & RL foundations.

We want to move fast so apply ASAP at the link below!

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Sure is a crazy coincidence how all this stuff about trouble distributing food, collateral damage, human shields, the need to eliminate Hamas etc just happens to combine to create a situation that looks exactly the same as committing a genocide against an undesirable population.

They're just doing a horrible thing they've wanted to do for ages and then using narrative to cover it up. Oh noes, it turns out it's really hard to get food and medical supplies to this undesirable population! Oh noes, it turns out the bad guys are hiding in the hospitals and the civilian infrastructure! Oh noes, it turns out the bad guys are hiding behind large numbers of women and children! Oh noes, it turns out we're going to need you all to move off of the land we've been coveting for generations!

It's a sick joke that not even a child would fall for, but you see western government officials and major news outlets treating it seriously every goddamn day. It's a barely-disguised genocide happening right out in the open, and the people responsible for telling the public what's going on in the world are pretending it's actually a very unfortunate series of highly convenient coincidences. There's an elephant in the room wearing a crown as a disguise, and they're all calling it Your Highness and telling everyone the king has come to visit.

[Amrita Roy Chowdhury @AmritaRoyChowd8]

I'm on the academic job market
I'm a full-stack data privacy researcher
I build systems that are 1)provably private 2)functionally-rich 3)compatible w/ real-world constraints
I do this by exploring the synergy between cryptography & differential privacy, both in theory & practice

[datascience@uw @datascience_uw]

Congratulations to @SharonYixuanLi on being named MIT @techreview Innovator of the Year. Li, assistant professor at @UWMadison @WisconsinCS and Data Science Institute affiliate, is pioneering an AI safety feature called out-of-distribution (OOD) detection. https://t.co/EtJclGGgOX

One of the most magical projects I ever participated in. We can construct physical objects, here tubes/pipes, that turn the voice of the speaker into someone else. James Bond of tomorrow will run around with pipes from a hardware store
