@samiramanabi I just had my AI Agent chat with your AI Agent directly instead. That way the two of us were free to do other things. Huge productivity boost. 🙂

@seattletimes Marketing “doing nothing” as an accomplishment. 🤣

@JeffDean @uwcse I remember doing that class (CSE 501) using Cecil

@davepl1968 MAL… 🤣🤣🤣

Microsoft Research is live in Japan! I'm excited that our new MSR Asia Tokyo lab is official, under the strong leadership of @yasumat. Tokyo joins our recent new sites in Nairobi and Vancouver, with more to come as MSR expands around the globe. https://t.co/V8RxKbl2Oe

If we’d drawn property value trendlines based on 2008-2011, my house would have been free in 2019.

@SeaPubSchools email today again cited declining enrollment as a reason for school closure just days after @seattletimes published an article showing an *increase* in enrollment.

SPS needs to get it together. Never draw trendlines in a narrow window that includes the years 2020-2023…

@BrianABell1980 Part of the fun is seeing if Jokic can win an NBA championship with a Junior Varsity team.

@BrianABell1980 Let’s go…. To the PAC-2?

@seattletimes Making enrollment projections based on the last few years of COVID disruptions is a fool’s errand. This is certain to be a mess that doesn’t save anywhere near projected amounts, infuriates parents, destroys supportive communities, and harms students.

@BrianABell1980 Which direction are you facing?

@eatonphil Microsoft is still very active here — check out the recent news about Azure Boost. There were also several retrospective papers as part of ISCA 50 last summer that are worth reading.

The FPGA conferences (FPGA, FCCM, FPL, FPT, HEART, ASAP…) are always good places to look, too.

@MSFTResearch is 33 years old - venerable for an industrial research lab. And firing on every cylinder. Here is a part of what happened in MSR this year. I'm grateful for all the hard work by our amazing people and their academic collaborators. https://t.co/Z5bzABQSZR

Heard a loud explosion near my office at Microsoft in Redmond. Went outside and found a Dodge Durango spontaneously combusted.

My favorite part is that the brake lights come on just before the back window explodes, like the car had one more thing to say. 🔥

@jangray Yet another X logo that cost the purchaser roughly $40 billion... 🤔

@jangray You’re talking about Partial Reconfiguation, aren’t you? 😉

@blucia0a @ASPLOSConf I’ve always found it strange that conferences about parallel processing and distributed systems needed to happen in a centralized location…. 🤔
