The course is done! I put up the slides and reading list for anyone who'd like a summer reading list on tools for thought. Topics include spaced repetition, information visualization, and the psychology of programming. PL nerds, don't miss the assignment where I have students use APL as a spreadsheet formula language.

Some clarifications: the good ACs/PCs of OOPSLA have been very responsive to my concerns, and are taking this issue seriously. ("Zero repercussions" is melodramatic, although I will stand by "trashing the commons".)

Also, the SIGPLAN EC is working on the issue of AI reviews as well. I believe a more explicit SIGPLAN-wide policy will be proposed soon.

Pretty heartened to see our community taking action on AI reviewing :-) and now back to *my* OOPSLA response...

Our OOPSLA'23 paper has reached CACM! You can check out the shortened paper here: https://cacm.acm.org/research-highlights/a-grounded-conceptual-model-for-ownership-types-in-rust/

I'm going to be at CHI until Saturday! Say hi if you're around. I'll be talking about my new curriculum for an undergrad course on Tools for Thought:

And about some ideas for building better document infrastructure for augmented reading:
