On my way to HotOS! A little anxious because it’s the first conference that I’ve attended since the UW situation blew up at OSDI and half the UW systems faculty will be there but looking forward to seeing everyone and super excited to hear the talks.
If you want to offer support, happy to chat, if you want to debate the situation with me, I’m not interested. I’ve spent enough time trying to educate ignorant people about the situation.
@irene Offered by way of commiseration and recognition, but before I retired from quantum computing, there were multiple conferences I just didn't go to because they keynoted the people who blew shit up at UWaterloo (different UW, same flavor of shit).
@irene Sending good vibes! Hope it's a good experience.
@irene my best friend Shaurya is also going to be there, I hope you all have a good time!! I have already seen pics around Banff and am so envious. all the best navigating the anxiety too ❤️
