    Replying to @kchonyc
    some absolutely not-plagiarised text snippets in my dissertations: * "it would not have been possible for me to survive long, freezing, snowy winter of Finland without songs from four girls of 2NE1 (especially, the leader CL)."

    this makes me think a lot
    Papadimitriou co-authored a paper on pancake sorting with Bill Gates, then a Harvard undergraduate. Papadimitriou recalled "Two years later, I called to tell him our paper had been accepted to a fine math journal. He sounded eminently disinterested. He had moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico to run a small company writing code for microprocessors, of all things. I remember thinking: 'Such a brilliant kid. What a waste.'" The company was Microsoft.

    what do you teach at the first-year graduate course on machine learning, in this era of LLM and large-scale compute? here's my experiment on answering this question: let's teach everything that admits SGD and that is not LLM, and ask students to read old papers.

    we all want to and need to be prepared to train our own large-scale language models from scratch. why? 1. transparency or lack thereof 2. maintainability or lack thereof 3. compliance or lack thereof and because we can, thanks to amazing open-source and open-platform
