URGENT request for help:
I need to build a case (soon) that justifies the "broader impact" of my research (yes, this is related to recent events in the US).
If you have ever used Chartability or Data Navigator in your work in any capacity, I would love to know! Please email (fje@cmu.edu) or dm me.
In this podcast, I challenge the typical view of AI as just a productivity tool. I propose a more dialogue-driven approach to using language models in education - one that positions AI as an analytical partner, not an all-knowing source. https://buff.ly/4gfgBvf
Are the Internet and AI affecting our memory? What the science says. I should add to that that repeating the same complex working memory task in a similar population now leads to worse performance than in 2016... www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Yihao's ASPLOS '25 paper, "Optimizing Datalog for the GPU," is now up on the ACM DL! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

It is hilarious, worthy of Swift. Epic amounts of pearl-clutching and FAFO. Hamas has run the place for 20 years and have turned it into a booby-trapped pile of rubble.
Predictive text hates you too, Nam.
Very appropriate predictive text failure ;)
"Without the philosophical work, education theories are, at best, precisely the kind of speculation from which they were meant to be delivering us ... . At worse they become a kind of dangerous hallucinogen – far from being the medicine we need, they become a drug that dissociates us from reality"
TIL Emanuel Almborg's 2016 documentary Talking Hands / Говорящие руки, about the 1960’s Zagorsk school for deaf-blind children, is on the interwebs. #Ilyenkov

Good book if you haven't read it, and now at a sensible price.

Le 7 janvier 2015, nos amis étaient tués par deux terroristes islamistes. Dans la rue, ils ont crié : « On a tué Charlie Hebdo ». Dix ans plus tard, Charlie est toujours là. Ce journal est increvable, on vous dit !
I’m posting a bit more actively in 2025, but my general intention is to write more for my (free) Substack, Bleak House Revisited bleakhouserevisited.substack.com than on social media. I’ve written to date on the Assisted Dying Bill, and on the WASPI campaign. My next post will be on forged wills
