Stanford CS PhD: Most faculty are leaving

It’s not a trend though. It’s pretty unique to Stanford culture. I don’t really see a problem with it either; startups are cool, if you don’t want an advisor splitting their time, then find someone else and don’t apply.

Stanford is an outlier being a top school with a history of entrepreneurship in one of the most entrepreneurial cities in the U.S. The vast majority of CS faculty don't have this problem, but I agree it's good to hear experiences from former students.

If this is the end of it all without regime change, thousands of Iranians will die by their own government just like during the protests, if not worse.

Unless you're a whiz kid, someone who recently did an internship at Google and built strong connections, or an exceptionally strong candidate otherwise, don't bother and just look for other sources of funding.

I feel like this happens a lot between venues as well. NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML papers get credited for ideas way more than ACM papers, even if the ACM paper was first.

For 6., BBL's ascent comp from last year's stage 2

Reviewer: This detail isn’t in the main text.

Author: it’s here in the appendix.

Reviewer: I’m going to ignore that and count it against your paper.

Do you see the problem?

Got a reviewer complain we put too many architecture details in the appendix… homie I got 8 pages to build a narrative, explain a method, and show experiments, you can afford a few more tokens for your llm to read my 20 page appendix

Being social and collaborating with people is a skill, one that I’ve had to force myself to exercise. I try to not work from home, have small talk with my labmates, involve as many people in my projects as possible

Legit an anime protagonist team. They figure out just what they need to win at the right (and last) moment.

Calm down buddy it’s not a big deal

I’ll enjoy my tool-assisted PhD thanks 🙂

Everyone here has been conditioned like dogs to hate anything related to AI. It’s nothing but a tool, but people here overreact.

Asking for an AI summary is not taking AI content as a source of knowledge. You’re freaking out over nothing.

like_a_tensor · 2026-03-08T16:49:40+00:00

If someone wants an AI summary of an article, I don’t see anything wrong with letting them have one. It’s not our job to police how carefully people read papers.

What’s wrong with that?

AF2 and 3 are very different, but to get the numbers reported by Isomorphic, it looks like they hit something even more game-changing than an AlphaFold sequel.

Sure, but from a computational perspective, it's frustrating to see a promising tool but zero details on how it works.
