If ordinary folks could communicate more easily, this would build more empathy between diverse people. Helping us to make kinder, more just society. Things haven’t worked out that way with social media. What is the step in these aspirations that we have gotten wrong? End/

Here is a question I have struggled with lately. I also hope that more knowledge will help us someday to organize a more peaceful and just society. But… I used to think the same thing about better communication! 1/

David, are you referring to something like differentially private machine unlearning? There seems to be work in the direction but I don’t know it well enough to know if I would recommend as a framework

They are more about our obsession with gambling than with data, no? Which seems entirely appropriate given the intellectual origins of probability theory.

The internet has destroyed so many things that I loved in the world, but I am grateful for the wealth of information about how to make fine bread.

Charles Sutton @randomlywalking.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

At first, Yeasty and I worked together on rustic miches (the fashion at the time). Then we branched out into sandwich bread, rolls, pancakes, waffles, crackers, pretzels, pizza crusts, baguettes, English muffins, shokupan, and once or twice, a focaccia. My specialty, though, is bagels.

Happy fifth birthday to my sourdough starter! Their name is Yeasty. I learned to bake as a teenager but mostly lapsed after I grew up. When the pandemic hit, I decided to try again, and when there was no yeast, I decided to try sourdough again.

As a former Fulbright Scholar (in Chile), I personally understand how terrifying this is. U.S. citizens around the world & foreign nationals in the U.S. — all Fulbright Scholars — have now had their incomes eliminated & are stranded. DOGE is an illegal, criminal operation that must be shut down.

The extraordinary recent takeover of ML/AI by #NLP is well-known but insufficiently reflected on. Look at the @neuripsconf.bsky.social tutorials in 2024! neurips.cc/virtual/2024... 14 tutorials; 6 have "LLM" in the title; 4 more cover foundation models, with large NLP coverage. That's > 70% 😲

Do you know what rating you’ll give after reading the intro? Are your confidence scores 4 or higher? Do you not respond in rebuttal phases? Are you worried how it will look if your rating is the only 8 among 3’s? This thread is for you.

That’s right. You might think that all successful CS academics are good at running. But that’s only because the ones who weren’t, have been eaten by bears.
