@cmessner.bsky.socialHey, it’s the official release day for Seeing Like a Supply Chain! And of course I’m swamped with grading and lesson-planning, but maybe I can say a little about the book and the process of researching it. yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...
Show PostIt's arrived!! I gave this book everything I had and I hope there's something in here for you. It's not officially out until 10/20, but @yalepress.bsky.social seems to be shipping orders now. yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...
Show PostAfter a long wait, releasing the SYNTH paper! It’s not pretraining, mid-training or post-training, it’s just training: a fully synthetic single-stage pipeline to train workable reasoning models with unprecedented data efficiency. arxiv.org/abs/2609.378...
Show PostI finally had time (thanks to our virtual reading group!) to catch up on the AI + mathematics discourse. My favorite piece is this essay by Oded Goldreich. Human understanding is the end goal, not solutions alone, and we can't pursue this without also thinking about societal structures.
Show PostAfter far too many AI-generated final projects, and my own uncertainty about what students really need to know about NLP these days, I decided to overhaul my Text as Data class so that it's structured around a single project: training up a C19 LLM from scratch. Here we go! github.com/laurenfklein...
