@alexandra8silva @Cornell_CS @cornell_tech Thanks Alexandra!! 😊

[Yuka Ikarashi @c20]

@ShriramKMurthi Thanks, Shriram! I'll continue to be your Northeast neighbor!

[Yuka Ikarashi @c20]

I defended my PhD at MIT and will be joining Cornell CS as an assistant professor in January 2027, based at the Cornell Tech campus in NYC. I'll be living in Kazakhstan and Armenia this fall and would love to get connected with the local CS/tech community there!

[Yuka Ikarashi @c20]

@tikhonjelvis @jimmykoppel Haha yes Jimmy already connected me to some people. Thanks!!

[Yuka Ikarashi @c20]

I will be defending on April 24th (co-located with Amanda!). Please lmk if you're interested in joining, and we hope to see you there!

@cHHillee Oh no I learned about the movie after finishing the book. I bought it a few years ago but it was rotting in my shelf

[Yuka Ikarashi @c20]

Just finished reading Project Hail Mary. Good good good.

[Yuka Ikarashi @c20]

Wow thanks for the shout out!

[Yaron (Ron) Minsky @yminsky]

I should say, there are research projects in this space that I think are compelling. Exo is cool! It's from the researchers who did Halide, an influential PL aimed at graphics. The exo folk are looking to update the approach for modern GPUs.

Dave Patterson’s op-ed is a great overview on how taxpayer-funded research built the backbone of modern tech: RISC, RAID, cloud, ... the list goes on. Encourage your representatives to fully fund the NSF and CISE!

I'm giving a talk at GPU mode tomorrow. Feel free to join the livestream:

Can there be an invasion of Iran? Hardly. Two maps explain why, and also why Iran is the way it is today, whether its regime will fall, what other superpowers will do, and in general why Iran is the way it is today

1. Iran is a mountain & desert fortress

@disconcision Welp almost everyone will graduate by the year 2028 🤷‍♀️

Story of all the 5th year PhD students

We started our Ph.D.s during COVID-19. Now, we’re graduating into political chaos | Science | AAAS https://t.co/pEx7ZzYGyn

Please retweet the post and help announce the workshop!

[Yuka Ikarashi @c20]

We are hosting the MIT Programming Languages Review on April 25th in person here at MIT! The PLR is a student-run workshop that aims to highlight the best papers from the past year that we believe will have a significant impact on shaping the future direction of PL research.

[Yuka Ikarashi @c20]

Here is the workshop schedule. We have exciting speakers presenting their papers published at ASPLOS, OOPSLA, ICFP, PLDI, and so on.

@GPU_MODE I cannot DM you for some reason (maybe we have to mutually follow?) I followed you so can you try DMing me?
If that doesn't work, my email is "yuka at https://t.co/7UXttIyTTF"

Exo 2 news is out!

[MIT CSAIL @MIT_CSAIL]

A new programming language from MIT could enable high-performance coding that can compete w/state-of-the-art libraries w/a few hundred lines of code, instead of tens or hundreds of thousands.

Called "Exo 2," the approach enables reusable scheduling libraries external to compilers: https://t.co/PlUOXU6GGz

[Yuka Ikarashi @c20]

@GPU_MODE We're actively working on the Exo GPU backend and I won't be able to talk about GPUs, so the talk will be around vector machines and (non-gpu) tensor accelerators. I'll be interested in giving a talk if that's okay with you.
