Recruiting Ph.D. Students for Fall 2026
I joined the @UCF as an Assistant Professor in @UCFComputerSci and started the Designing Interactive & Intelligent Data (DIID) Lab), where we study, design, and develop ways for people to better understand, communicate, and experience data.

Seinfeld episode 2026: Jerry gets tickets courtside and brings George, who decides, with the Knicks down 20 with 10 minutes left, he will leave the game early to beat the rush out of MSG.
As the Knicks mount a comeback he tries to get back into the Garden. He waves his ticket, name drops James Dolan, but nothing works and he ends up getting arrested.
Meantime, Kramer sneaks into the Garden and helps Mike Brown draw up the game winning play.

I made a chart to show how severely they cherry-picked this data.

THE TRUMP EFFECT! 🇺🇸
Community note
The chart is based on BLS data showing price declines for listed items like eggs. BLS data also shows overall inflation at 3.8% for the year ending April 2026, with food prices up 3.2% and gasoline up 28.4%. bls.gov/news.release/c… cnbc.com/2026/05/12/inf…

The Golden State Warriors pay $55,000,000 a year for someone who can shoot a basketball. They have recorded a 30 second video of him explaining how to do it & released it for free.
Bookmark & watch this today before someone takes it down.

Anthropic pays $750,000 a year for engineers who can build LLM architectures from scratch. Stanford taught the entire thing in 1 hour lecture & released it for free.
Bookmark & watch this today before someone takes it down.
Community note
The video is Lecture 3 on architectures and hyperparameters from Stanford's 19-lecture CS336 course "Language Modeling from Scratch," which covers the full process including data, training, and evaluation; one lecture does not teach building LLMs from scratch. youtube.com/watch?v=ptFiH_… stanford-cs336.github.io/spring2025/

Data engineers are one of the biggest needs in sports, so if you have the skill....let the Lakers know, this job is available. (But also let me know as I like to know.)

They are the very definition of mid
Mar 30
The Atlanta Hawks have spent a total of 614 days in the play-in range of the NBA standings since 2020-21
That's ~25% more days than the #2 team, the Golden State Warriors, which just surpassed the Chicago Bulls

I'm confused by the very premise of this question, though? My PhD students are not code robots I command to implement what I want. They are human beings I am mentoring to become independent researchers

In the last few months, I've spoken to many CS professors who asked me if we even need CS PhD students anymore. Now that we have coding agents, can't professors work directly with agents?
My view is that equipping PhD students with coding agents will allow them to do work that is orders of magnitude more impressive than they otherwise could.
And they can be *accountable* for their outcomes in a way agents can't (yet). For example, who checks the agent's outputs are correct? Who is responsible for mistakes or errors?

achieving this ultimate mid is statistically harder than winning a chip

Hawks are not only 31-31 in their last 62 games but also...
45-45 in their last 90,
67-67 in their 134,
174-174 in their 348,
210-210 in their last 420,
785-785 in their last 1,570,
1,940-1,940 in their last 3,880,
and
2,895-2,895 in their last 5,790

American steel is BACK. 🇺🇸
Community note
The y axis and limited data set distorts the picture. Steel production has been roughly constant for the past ten years.
