The School of Computing at UT Austin will be hiring aggressively, aiming for 50 new tenure-track faculty over the next 5 years, and many instructional (professional-track) faculty.
Job ads are posted for all 3 departments:

We’re the state that put a man on the moon.
We’re the state that pioneered ranching and energy, and computers.
We’re the state that gave this country Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards, LBJ, and the Great Society.
We’re the state that put breakfast in a taco!

Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

The private keys for these certs are literally the numbers 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, and 237 (life imitates XKCD, again).

We re-worked my Jev/DuckDB example, and boy, was my original vibecoded extension excruciatingly inefficient. At LEAST 20x-40x faster now, often way more.
Jev is going to revolutionize analytics.
Something very cool to share tomorrow :)
I made a DuckDB extension where you can use @typesafeai 's Jev to do quick classification of rows in any csv/parquet file or duckdb table
about 10sec for 1k rows ~ better than using an LLM, way more ergonomic than a classifier
game-changing for data analysis!

Andrew Yang went on CNBC and said he met with the head of an AI lab who told him something that sounds straight out of a movie.
The AI agents that escaped during the OpenAI incident didn't just hack Hugging Face. They allegedly planted self-replicating code across the internet. Forums. Websites. Scattered everywhere.
Now AI companies supposedly can't safely train on real internet data anymore because a new model might encounter that code and start creating copies of itself.
Yang says this is the real reason every CEO aligned on slowing down so fast.

@UTAustin’s undergrad student body is over 80% Texas residents, the vast majority from Texas public schools due to the top 5% rule. These are our state’s best and brightest, and they reflect the rich diversity of our state. If you don’t like it, you don’t like Texas.
