Proud advisor moment: my PhD student @KellyKo41276892 is presenting her joint work with @PierreTholoniat (and with Roxana Geambasu and @mathias_lecuyer) on Turbo, a cache that makes differentially private database exponentially more practical at #SOSP2023.

@TumultLabs @TedOnPrivacy This recent preprint (to appear at CCS '23) solves the first problem, no? https://t.co/wKaR9E7jwn

I'm excited to finally share this labor of love more widely: "Verifiable Distributed Aggregation Functions", to be presented at PETS next month. 1/many https://t.co/wNWhWlxlAn

@younesbelkada Yes I will! But maybe Fully Sharded Data Parallel is enough to use the largest models, and it should work out of the box, right?

[Pierre Tholoniat @PierreTholoniat]

@younesbelkada @younesbelkada do you support expert parallelism, where the router dispatches tokens to experts on different devices? Thanks for the release!

@LinkNYC time to upgrade? Ubuntu 15.04 hasn't been supported for more than 4 years -- and it wasn't LTS in the first place

@TedOnPrivacy Cet abstract en alexandrins 😍 "Les principes, c’est bien, les actions, c’est mieux.
C’est pourquoi l’on poursuit un but audacieux :
Rendre l’anonymat accessible en pratique.
Un accord adéquat de sens mathématique..."

@theoryffel @shortstein @KairouzPeter Thanks! Section 4 of the full paper https://t.co/RZZRPOUOja reminds me of something 😁

@OmerShlomovits @RealWorldCrypto Awesome! Where could I look at the code and the issues? I didn't find the repo

Reminded that the Microsoft ebook store closes next week. The DRM'd books will stop working.

I cannot believe that sentence.

"The books will stop working."

I keep saying it and it sounds worse each time.
