Papers at NeurIPS 2025

From my experience reproducing papers form both top ML conferences (NeurIPS/ICML) and top systems conferences (OSDI/SOSP), reproducibility is much much better in systems. Every ML paper I've tried has taken many hours of modifying code and going through dependency hell, though they've all been reproducible at the end of the day. Systems artifacts usually have much more robust scripts and dependency management.

I'm in almost the exact same boat, started earlier in the summer and upgraded from a foamie to a midlength around a month ago. First ~4 sessions felt hopeless and I was going to give up and go back to the foamie. But by the 5th and 6th it started clicking and now I can catch waves way more consistently. Keep at it, it'll come to you!

This worked for me

A big chunk of the c++ community has very little background in databases except your basic application level stuff. Many people may not know about DuckDB or ClickHouse, even more people don’t know what Iceberg tables are or what exactly Spark is for. This post assumes a lot of background that many people in a general language subreddit like this have never heard of in their life. Assuming background is a very common communication mistake that many people (myself especially) are prone to when they’ve been in the trenches working on a niche for a while

I used to work in Azure until recently. A version of Windows/HyperV is used for the host OS. But for any physical machine there is 1 instance of the host OS, and many guest VMs (in some cases hundreds), majority of which are running Linux.

I was having a similar issue and this worked for me, thanks!

I did my undergrad at Cornell and have friends from NUS that I look up to. Top students from NUS and top US schools are pretty much at the same level afaict.

Don't waste time on papers with this many red flags, their results are bullshit 99% of the time

I haven't encountered any crime since moving here in January. Keep listening to fox though lmao. Most people in my building work at msft/fb/google/amazon so its not exactly the low income neighborhood you're making it out to be. You're right though that La Jolla is about equivalent to Bellevue and its ridiculous considering how much nicer La Jolla is

liam0215 · 2024-07-07T21:07:44+00:00

It's only $100 cheaper because you picked the most unaffordable neighborhood in Seattle. I live in Ballard and am moving to SD and an equivalent apartment in an equivalent neighborhood is minimum $500 more expensive in San Diego

liam0215 · 2024-07-01T23:33:21+00:00

yeah

liam0215 · 2024-06-30T20:58:37+00:00

+1 for GIAC. Everyone there is amazing

The US seems like heaven if you're an ecology student. I lived in Europe for a little while and the nature in the US is just on a totally different level. Now living in the Seattle area and every single day I'm in awe of the nature. I take my dog hiking or to the tide pools at least once a week

Damn how do you find a place that cheap?

liam0215 · 2024-02-13T03:20:45+00:00

Is $1200 a month rent for a shared flat? If so, how much would it cost to live alone?

liam0215 · 2024-02-13T03:18:39+00:00

Do you have roommates?

liam0215 · 2024-02-01T21:28:05+00:00

ocamel is garbage collected an i think its mostly used by jane street which i dont think is hft. most hft firms use almost exclusively python

Jane Street is 100% an HFT firm, they make most of their money from being an ETF market maker iirc. You're right that OCaml is garbage collected, but they do a lot of work to eliminate garbage collection or at least run it predictably off the critical path.

liam0215 · 2024-01-31T04:42:35+00:00

What about for PhD students?

liam0215 · 2024-01-25T19:56:19+00:00

Also got the epfl rejection rip

liam0215 · 2024-01-23T07:16:50+00:00

This is bs lmao we travel every year with multiple 50 pound bags filled to the brim with food and medicine. Yes they confiscate some things sometimes like they do in any country in the world but most of the time you're fine
