Somebody was using /tmp partition for caching and to root partition was 100% full. I manually cleared the python cache to make servers usable again. The Auton Lab users who are found in violation of Auton Lab etiquette https://www.autonlab.org/autonlab_wiki/aetiquette.html#don-ts are risking account suspension.

Currently, your home directories are not properly mounted on computing nodes and you can't ssh.

The users whose home directories are located on the ZFS pool tank (zfsauton3) are not affected and can log and use the system. Unfortunately, the majority of you have home directories located on the zfsauton2 and have to wait until the pool self heal (up to 24h). The process is not linear and you might get lucky and be able to use the system now or shortly or you might be really unlucky and have to wait a long time until your home directory ZFS dataset heals.

As discussed previously on numerous occasions on this mailing list you are supposed to store your Jupyter local notebook SQLite database on the local file system (scratch) directory. You are probably storing it in your home directory which is NFS share. NFS mounts sometimes get corrupted as it happened late last night and I had to clear stale file handless by rebooting the main file server. Now you are stuck. Remove all SQLite databases associated with Jupyter notebook and start again. I think Ben or somebody contributed a small blurb about this for our Wiki. I would swear it is there. On an unrelated note as somebody familiar with Mathematica notebooks, where the idea for the Jupyter notebook came from, I don't know how you can guys program in that thing. I concur it is useful for presentations and sharing the code but for real programming, you need an actual editor.

Cheers Artur AI in Action: Inaugural Seminar Wednesday, 31 March 2021 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm ET Remote Access - *Zoom * With special guest: *ANDREW W. MOORE* Vice President of Engineering, General Manager of Cloud AI & Industry Solutions, Google Cloud Presenting: How we get to the point where AI is running the world. *Bio: **Andr**ew W. Moore*, PhD, is a distinguished computer scientist with expertise in machine learning and robotics. He became the Head of Google Cloud Artificial Intelligence division in January 2019. Moore previously worked at Google from 2006 to 2014 and was the founding director of Google?s Pittsburgh engineering office in 2006. He then spent a four-year hiatus at Carnegie Mellon University as the dean of the School of Computer Science. Andrew?s research interests encompass the field of ?big data? ? applying statistical methods and mathematical formulas to massive quantities of information, ranging from web searches to astronomy to medical records, in order to identify patterns and extract meaning from that information. His past research has included improving the ability of robots and other automated systems to sense the world around them and respond appropriately. Andrew lives in Pittsburgh. ? *AI in Action: A Seminar Series for AI in Industry and Government*, generously sponsored by *Aptiv *, is hosted by the SCS AI Undergraduate Degree (BSAI) program. This series explores the applications of AI in innovation and automation in real-world environments. Whether it be autonomous vehicles, healthcare, defense, government intelligence, or advertising, the use of AI is widespread, and this seminar series will feature the individuals who work at the intersection of AI and their respective fields. _______________________________________________ ri-voting mailing list ri-voting at lists.andrew.cmu.edu https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/ri-voting -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(Note: not the usual 12pm!) To learn more about the seminar series or see the future schedule, please visit the seminar website . On 3/30, *Been Kim* (Google Brain) will be giving a talk on "*AI Interpretability: the Past, Present and Future*." *Title*: AI Interpretability: the Past, Present and Future *Talk Abstract*: Interpretable machine learning has been a popular topic of study in the past many years. But are we making progress? In this talk, I will talk about my reflections on the progress by taking a critical look at some of the existing methods, and discussing series of user-centric methods that can "speak" the user's language, rather than the computer's language. *Speaker Bio*: Been Kim is a staff research scientist at Google Brain. Her research focuses on improving interpretability in machine learning by building interpretability methods for already-trained models or building inherently interpretable models. She gave a talk at the G20 meeting in Argentina in 2019. Her work TCAV received UNESCO Netexplo award, was featured at Google I/O 19' and in Brian Christian's book on "The Alignment Problem". Been has given keynote at ECML 2020, tutorials on interpretability at ICML, University of Toronto, CVPR and at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She was a co-workshop Chair ICLR 2019, and has been an area chair/senior area chair at conferences including NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, and AISTATS. She received her Ph.D. from MIT. *Zoom Link*: https://cmu.zoom.us/j/92759487765?pwd=Zzl4Ui9LU0cwMFdRTkYyZDdZQ2MyQT09 Thanks, Shaojie Bai (MLD) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is just an hour drive from Pittsburgh, past the airport. The folks there can vaccinate up to 200 people/day, but they have few people showing up to bare their shoulders. We were in and out in about 5 min, vaccinated with Pfizer and armed with an appointment for the second dose in April. There were two people in line ahead of us, none when we left. *OH and Rite Aid have no residency restrictions for COVID-19 vaccines* (as you can read here ). The location has an abundance of vaccines available and not enough people to vaccinate. The super efficient pharmacy staff assured us again and again how happy they are to see people from PA arrive for vaccination. It is easy to register to be vaccinated at an OH RiteAid (in Wellsville, the closets OH Rite Aid to Pittsburgh, or otherwise). Though the website still says 40+ years, the pharmacist assured us that they are now taking anyone over 18 years (and expect to open to 16+ in the next week or so). No pre-existing conditions necessary. You need to arrive only with a form of ID and your medical insurance card. To register for an appointment, go to riteaid.com/covid-19/ Click on Ohio Prompted for city, enter an Ohio town such as Wellsville, OH Select the pharmacy (220 Third Street, Wellsville, OH) Select date/time for your appointment Enter your local PA address and info Best, Ale =============== Alessandro Rinaldo Professor Department of Statistics & Data Science Carnegie Mellon University =============== -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This large study from Israel just got out. It shows no increase of immunity to covid infection within the first 11 days after the first dose of Pfizer vaccine. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01316-7.pdf And this one from CDC shows 80% immunity 2+ weeks after either Pfizer or Moderna's first dose, and 90% 2+ weeks after the second dose of either vaccine. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7013e3.htm Unlike previous data, which was based on limited-size clinical trials and claimed 95% effectiveness ~3-4 weeks after the second dose, those two studies have been conducted on real-world samples, so they may carry more practical credibility. Both results are optimistic, however they show that we should not assume any good effect of the vaccine and stay supersafe until at least day 12 after the first dose.
