Good morning, computing systems community! Rotterdam is calling: home to @asplos-contest.bsky.social #ASPLOS2025, a 1200+ attendee conference (co-located with @eurosysconf.bsky.social #EuroSys2025). And for the first time I’m cycling to attend from home! 🌍💻 🚴‍♂️

On Sunday we're hosting LATTE ☕, our workshop on Languages and Tools for Accelerator design! We have 15 super cool papers and plenty of time for discussion! You can attend virtually via zoom or in person with #asplos in Rotterdam capra.cs.cornell.edu/latte25/

The RAD team (rad.itu.dk) will be at EuroSys/ASPLOS conference doing three work-in-progress presentations on Monday. We will make the presentations available after the conference. Looking forward to meeting the community there! More info in the thread. 👇

Zware twijfel over de rechtmatigheid van de beoogde bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs: en dat wist de minister zelf ook, maar hij negeerde interne stukken van zijn eigen ministerie... www.ad.nl/politiek/int... ...>

I am advertising two PhD projects in the area of AI&cybersecurity as part of the new EPSRC CDT in Cyber-Physical Risk at UCL. These are fully-funded PhD studentships starting in September 2025. Information here: ucl.ac.uk/security-cri... Closing date: 15 April 2025.

I’m happy to report I found a remnant of German Silesian humor - this monument to the pooping peasant, near Świdnica. It was built in 1935 to commemorate the establishment of a biological sewage treatment plant. The Poles built a new plant in the meantime but made sure the peasant is still pooping 🎉

Uh-oh. Another botched restoration. Gives off "Ecce Homo" vibes. This time, you're looking at a little Silesian wayside shrine from the 19th century. /A small side note, a German inscription was kept, and a Polish translation was added. But still. Holy smokes./

Please watch 'The Brutalist.' This multi-layered epic film explores themes such as freedom of artistic expression, uprooting, capitalism, and racism. It is rich in symbolism and features excellent acting, directing, and cinematography. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdRX...

Decent people thank Ukraine.

🇺🇦

The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

Europe urgently needs its own plan of action concerning Ukraine and our security, or else other global players will decide about our future. Not necessarily in line with our own interest. This plan must be prepared now. There’s no time to lose.

We shouldn't take anything off the table before the negotiations have even started. It is clear that any deal behind our backs will not work. You need the Europeans, you need the Ukrainians. Extracts from my doorstep ahead of NATO Defence Ministers meeting ↓

More of a Chamberlainian moment, but I do see a parallel with the past.

Vanavond hebben de medewerkers van de Universiteit Utrecht die bijeen kwamen om over verdere acties tegen de bezuinigingen op het HO te overleggen, besloten dat er gestaakt zal worden op DINSDAG 11 MAART. Er wordt op dit moment, onder coordinatie van de FNV, een voorbereidend actie-comité gevormd. >

The words we heard from the main actors of the AfD rally about “Great Germany” and “the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes” sounded all too familiar and ominous. Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Together with my team on "Innovation in Delft Engineering Education" at @tudelft.bsky.social, I'm offering #postdocjobs.

I couldn’t attend today’s protests in Den Haag against the planned budget cuts to Dutch science and education, but hearing from my TU Delft colleagues who were there, it was a huge success! Thousands of protesters from all over 🇳🇱, shockwaves felt across 🇪🇺 Well done!
