We're putting in final planning and preparation steps this week to be ready for #ICLR2025. I'm excited to be attending, in part to help represent @mbzuai.bsky.social and @llm360.bsky.social as well as recruit Research Scientists and Engineers to our new lab in the Bay Area! (see next for more info)

I used to dream of days like this.

Mowed the lawn, trimmed some hedges, pruned a few trees to let more sun into our yard, picked the rest of our orange tree (we yielded 658 🍊this year!) had the kids help clean up the branches, etc. #suburbandadsaturdays

Day 1 with @mbzuai.bsky.social as we start building out a new non-profit, open research lab in the Bay Area. Lots to learn and my head is spinning but I’m excited to get started pushing the boundaries of what we know about reasoning and decision making under uncertainty.

As 2024 ends and I've been reflecting on the year, I will be honest saying that it's been hard in a lot of ways.

However, there has been much to celebrate and be grateful for, in particular all of the people who helped me attain my greatest achievement of 2024: finishing a PhD.

I will say that I’ve gotten a ton more followers from these types of accounts.

I don’t anticipate that any of them will engage with the majority of the content that you or I will post here.

Today’s #bluesky
