in in 1969, the first message was sent over what would become the Internet. UCLA student Charley Kline sent the message, “LO” to Bill Duvall at the Stanford Research Institute via ARPANET. The message was meant to read, “LOGIN” but the system crashed after just the first two letters. Even still, that brief message was a tremendous achievement that marked the beginning of networked communication as we know it. For more: https://buff.ly/V8tN8M5

Is it necessary to have an advanced degree to build AI systems? Find out in this week’s People of ACM profile as we interview leading AI developer Chip Huyen. Huyen, who worked on ML toolings at NVIDIA, Snorkel AI, and Netflix, offers unique perspectives on the state of AI now, and where it is headed. A prolific author, Huyen touches on two of her most popular technical books, Designing Machine Learning Systems, which has been translated into ten languages, and AI Engineering. She also discusses her Machine Learning Interviews Book, a practical guide for professionals navigating the job market. “It feels like we live in a strange world,” Huyen explains. “Companies keep saying we can’t hire enough, and candidates keep saying they can’t get a job.” Read the full interview here: https://buff.ly/UVOXOy1
