Excited for Phil Cascado from Outropy to join our class to talk about systems problems that arise when building agentic systems for real. AI is great for demos and hard for products.

I asked my students in introduction to databases to create database memes. Here are some bangers:

I remove all data redundancy,
Might not preserve some functional dependency,
Cluttered databases I do reform,
'Am your good ol' friend Boyce-Codd Normal Form.

We are excited to be starting a new lab that rethinks the systems, ML, and HCI stack to support agent-based automation! Columbia's PhD deadline is 12/15 -- please share with potential applicants!

Planning and arguing for a project (whether a grant or paper) is hard. One reason is that writing and speaking is a linear process, while the arguments for a project is a graph.

This blog post describes a mental model and its implications to writing. eugenewu.net/writing/2024...

Really happy to invite Yoonjoo Park from UIUC to virtually visit Columbia's data management seminar to talk about really nice work on checkpointing data science systems.
