I would love to think of the ICML 2023 conference in Honolulu as a pivotal event for my P.h.D. research. During that time I was kind of talking to Reagan and having the time of my life. I remember in the conference there was a workshop session named sampling over discrete space. It felt serendipitous, like the universe was pointing me toward somewhere significant, much like how my brilliant colleague Tao pointing to the bright future here haha

This past year I suffered a lot mentally and financially, my funding got paused and my girlfriend Sam (check out her spotify!) lost her boojee A.P.C. job. So I haven’t posted for a while. It’s really a leisure and effort to write stuff consistently (because wtf am I supposed to write?!!?). But the coding agents (Claude, Gemini etc..) really revolutionarized my efficiency, and shamelessly I have to admit that I use them a lot to “vibe code” and even do research, with sufficient human surveillance. So hopefully, I will resume writing for my own sanity.
