New preprint with Robert Atkey. This paper recasts Galois slicing (a program slicing technique) as a kind of automatic differentiation, with lattices of slices corresponding to tangent spaces, and forward and backward slicing corresponding to forward- and reverse-mode AD.

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.
There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

Great day at Machine Consciousness workshop, although sad to miss Interpretable Natural Language -- something I know nil about but sounds super-interesting. aigents.github.io/inlp/ Highlight of the day was still discovering @mitibennett.bsky.social quietly playing Chris de Burgh on the piano.
