Coding agents help with productivity on tasks they can perform flawlessly. But for more complex tasks that mistakes are more likely, they can actually slow you down because of Kernighan's Law: Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Large Language Monkeys are scaling and they are hungry! 🍌 #ICML2025
I'll be at @icmlconf #ICML2025 next week to present three papers - reach out if you want to chat about generative AI, scaling laws, synthetic data or any other AI topic! #1 How Do Large Language Monkeys Get Their Power (Laws)? x.com/RylanSchaeffer…
Discover how the ecosystem of JAX tools can accelerate research & development. Stop by the #ICML2025 Google booth at 11:30am today, when Chris Achard will demo JAX features, its ecosystem of libraries, and answer questions about practical applications & real-world use cases.
JAX event at #ICML2025
The JAX team is hosting a dinner / networking event during ICML on Thursday. Join us for an evening of food, drinks, and discussion of all things JAX. @SingularMattrix and other JAX team member will be attending. Please register early as capacity is limited. RSVP:…

Software engineering is such an addictive job. If you are making progress on a problem and have no distractions, it can be hard to put it down. You think about the problem in the back of your mind even when you stop.
Back in high school, Maryam Mirzakhani’s "Number Theory" book was my absolute favorite. I spent hours just getting lost in her beautiful proofs… RIP 💔
Maryam Mirzakhani would turn 48 today. In 2014, she became the first woman to be awarded the Fields Medal for her groundbreaking discoveries in the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces. She made significant contributions to the field of mathematics, particularly in the area…
Same for companies: Instead of measuring the performance of employees based on average metrics, they should focus on maximizing each employee’s unique potential!
The goal of education should not be to achieve a certain population average on standardized tests, it should be to unlock the highest total individual potential out of students
Coding from scratch with AI autocomplete disabled to keep our coding skills sharp is like going to the gym to keep our muscles strong! We might not necessarily need them, but they level us up!
I really like how Google names things! We have a loose tea bar called Leaf Node, a cafe named Hash Table, and another one called Local Host!
In order to supervise an automation tool (or another person!) effectively, you need to be able to do the same job yourself. Doesn't matter if you rarely ever do the job yourself (like a manager who no longer codes), you need to be *able* to do it.
what almost every amateur who has been sold bullshit about vibe coding is eventually going to encounter
Did you know that you can load checkpoints from Hugging Face Hub directly into a KerasHub model? That means you can load model weights from other frameworks, like using PyTorch weights with JAX or TensorFlow. Check out this blog post to learn how → goo.gle/4llxPIY
