Thanks for the responses!
I asked @dbindel.bsky.social about AI in CS curricula and really appreciate his thoughtful responses
It does seem, though, like the day-to-day practice of coding is changing fast in a lot of positions
I agree that chasing the next thing while the landscape changes constantly is too crazy. And my colleagues and I still think strong foundation in understanding code and theory will not go away.
We are looking into a 2-credit class on coding with AI just to see what kind of familiarity can do. And we are in touch with our grads and other industry contacts to see what they recommend
In our dept, we don't want to have students using this stuff as they develop fundamental coding skills. I also agree the economics are unclear. But it does seem like there are tools that people are using out there that we can get students familiar with.
In CS there's a lot of pressure to prepare students to work with these tools. I'm not talking about students who will focus on research, but instead preparing for industry etc.
I'd love to hear your takes on whether or not to integrate AI-assisted coding into the curriculum.

It's a soupy network for sure... maybe an in-between of the two....
Ah man, we've been working on ideas related to post 2 in a follow-up random networks project, although results aren't really there yet

From the MadTV archives... Sadly still relevant. Watch to the end.
Sorry though for the damage done to your country and innocent people
Better! It wasn't important enough to stay in mind
This gets me excited
I teach about the Lapicques' contributions in my comp neuro class. I've always wondered whether Marcelle also contributed to the integrate and fire model, although she isn't an author of that paper afaik
Thanks!
I personally didn't have a good experience with openreview recently, would not recommend
Big deal, congratulations!

Running a summer school for grad students, etc? Please don't invite famous people who are bullies, mean, or creeps to teach there. And please make sure a good number of women are represented among the teachers!
When I was taught about compiler optimization in undergrad ("what does gcc -o3 do?") we were taught a bunch of perf tricks (loop unrolling, etc.), but a key lessons was: rather than write tricky code, it's often better to write simple, correct code and then let the optimizer do it's thing. 1/
So long as you have a result about those null results I guess it's fine
My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity

Ugh terrible waste of money
Absolutely!
1. What is labeled prefrontal cortex (in the back) is early visual cortex.
2. Bottom-up and top-down arrows should be flipped.
3. The cerebellum (brown) should be in the back of the brain (not front).
4. The brain should be flipped so the pointy bit (prefrontal cortex) is over the eyes.
I laughed!
