  • OpenAI Tech Talk This Evening Thursday, October 17th by Jerry A friend of mine—and my backdoor neighbor—happens to be the new grad recruiter for OpenAI, and he asked that I share word of a tech talk they're giving tonight at 6:30pm in Huang 300. When you register, you don't need to actually upload your resume if you don't want to. They just want to have an idea of who's attending this evening.

  • Apply to Section Lead! Tuesday, October 8th by Jerry The CS198 Coordinators were in touch and asked that I announce that applications for section leading are being accepted. The application just opened this past weekend and falls due on Thursday, October 17th at 11:59pm for students who have previously completed CS106B or equivalent (which presumably applies to everyone enrolled in CS107 reading this). More details about section leading can be found in the application itself. Oh, and here's the pitch deck covering many of those same details.
