DTMが流行っても米津玄師もVaundyもギターを弾けるしギター（楽器）で養う感性は必要であり続ける。AIが流行っても文章を書く能力は必要だし鉛筆とキャンバスは消えない。でもDTMができない人もAIが使えない人もいずれは時代に取り残されるのではないか。

Of course don't forget to thank your AI afterwards. Just in case...

Surprisingly good at correcting grammar mistakes while giving accurate reasons for them, too, for beginner language learners.

I never learned Japanese formally, so writing Japanese business e-mails is an ordeal. With ChatGPT I can write in my casual speak (with English mixed in) and have ChatGPT convert it, and I know enough Japanese to correct it if anything is weird / wrong. Way faster than Google.

David Pfau (@pfau@sigmoid.social)

Increasingly I find myself having to write 'boilerplate text'. It's even worse when I write Japanese, since the language is full of honorifics ('keigo') where I have to Google every word to verify I'm not offending someone. ChatGPT is super excellent at writing boilerplate.

I feel like I just live in a different universe from these people? I haven't once gotten a result out from using it that makes me think "oh, this is a useful tool I need to have access to". Am I taking crazy pills here? twitter.com/nabeelqu/statu…

I've been, probably in recent times too, someone who likes to make things a bit overcomplicated, especially in C++. Growing older I'm getting there too, and indeed yesterday I blogged about simplicity:

how do you stop your GPU (stands for magneto) from murdering your electric guitar pickup?

(the 3090 is noticeably warmer than the GPU I was using before... I'm kind of scared!)

who needs a spaceheater if you have a GPU?

n/n: We shoud all do neural fields research as if we're doing systems research. Whenever we pick a point on the vast design space, we should be concrete about our coordinate space and justify why we're there. Otherwise we'll never move the needle forward. graphics.stanford.edu/~kayvonf/notes

This 💯%, even as a reviewer I've gone back to & referenced Kayvon's guide to systems papers many many times!

Hot take: most CVPR papers today are systems papers, as they are mostly composing known components and make non-trivial design choices along the way to solve a practical problem.

When you finish your CVPR reviews but you realize you still have TPAMI reviews...🥹

I used to think that reviews that recommend to cite works (even just as courtesy) that came out post-deadline were ridiculous in a funny way. But this year I understand... CVPR deadline feels like a decade ago in today's research pace! (I had to catch myself once already...)

Once in a while I try to use an IDE or a language server and I say "wow it writes the code for me" until I get annoyed by latency or not being able to write with 'intuition and muscle memory' and go back to vanilla vim (don't be like me)

Nice read on reverse engineering of GitHub Copilot

. Copilot has dramatically accelerated my coding, it's hard to imagine going back to "manual coding". Still learning to use it but it already writes ~80% of my code, ~80% accuracy. I don't even really code, I prompt. & edit. twitter.com/parth007_96/st…

Two SIGGRAPH best papers covered neural graphics primitives: networks that encode signals like images, surfaces, and light fields. Neural fields help integrate graphics into ML pipelines—but training them requires specialized architectures. Let's explore: thenumb.at/Neural-Graphic

I’m looking for researchers with experiences and strong passion in large-scale image-text models to join our research team at CA. Strong knowledge on diffusion models, contrastive learning, or data curation is preferred. Team-work first, extreme hard-core, and perfection-driven.

It's again time to talk Canada.

CS grad school and faculty app deadlines are coming up soon. If you are applying to the US, you should also be applying to Canada. The two are far more similar than different. Ask me anything about Canada in this

, and I'll answer honestly.

A struggle tech industry and the implications on CS grad students, and some temporary changes in international student working rights

Some actual statistics on how many students are supported by external fellowships (so you can calibrate your expectations)

Some cool things about how funding works in Canada: it's non-taxable (with asterisks) and often comes through the department, with nice benefits.

Living in Canada (and especially Toronto) has become a lot more expensive, so expect the funding amounts to have changed since when the article was written in 2020. If anyone has any up-to-date offer numbers, I'm happy to update the table in the article.

Myths about Graduate School in Computer Science (in Canada)

Grad school deadlines are right around the corner, so I wanted to share this article again on CS grad school in Canada. yongyuanxi.medium.com/myths-about-gr I also added some small updates based on my own experience as a grad student since then (details in thread):
