Started a thread in the other place and bringing it over here - I really think we should be more vocal about the opportunities that lay at the intersection of these two options!

So I'm starting a live thread of new roles as I become aware of them - feel free to add / extend / share :

Life situations are bleak right now for a lot of people. In tech, the "Venn Diagram" of (1) positive work and (2) making enough money to support your family is increasingly non-overlapping. We all do what we can.

Paruchuri, Aziz, Vartak, Ali, Uchehara, Liu, Chatterjee, Agrawal: "What's Up, Doc?": Analyzing How Users Seek Health Information in Large-Scale Conversational AI Datasets https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.21532 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.21532 https://arxiv.org/html/2506.21532

This is an excellent and very clear piece from Sergey Levine about the strengths and limitations of Large Language models.

A gene-editing treatment used on a 9½-month-old boy with a rare condition has the potential to help people with thousands of other uncommon genetic diseases #NBTNewsBeat www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/h...

Make the review process for all conferences fully open like ICLR and TMLR. Among other things, this will deter submissions of half baked papers.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Seattle + even slightly warm weather is pure bliss 🥹

For the last several years, I’ve been working on a detailed plan for how America can rebuild it’s industries and create prosperity for all while ending climate change. We’re calling it the Mission for America. It’s like the Green New Deal with the details filled in.

Discovering @tailscale.com for the first time while setting up some remote servers…it all just works! Y’all are awesome!

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

Call Congress, 202-224-3121.

For once in my life I feel old enough (28) or out-of-touch to the point that I don’t understand why other Americans (unless most of them are bots?) online are outraged by TikTok being banned or happy that it’s back…especially given its background.

Friends in industry: As 2024 comes to a close, if your budget has room, consider joining the sponsors of the Summer Geometry Initiative (SGI)! SGI is entering year 5 with a proven track record bringing a diverse set of brilliant students into graphics/vision/ML/math research.

Beyond lots of beautiful, deep, award-winning research in geometry processing, he's just a terrific person who we already miss having around.

Twist his arm if you want him to apply!

SLAM algorithms struggle on endoscopy videos - specularity, textureless, & dynamic lighting.

We introduce a Near-Field Light Bundle Adjst. loss (NFL-BA): improves performance of SOTA SLAM, e.g. MonoGS (⬆️35% in tracking, ⬆️48% in mapping).

See asdunnbe.github.io/NFL-BA/
Led by Andrea & Daniel

In today's publication culture, most authors are after being SOTA, showing tables with 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝 numbers, and writing the minimum viable paper!

The goal of a scientific paper should be to push the field forward with new intuition/insights on how to think about solving a problem.
