Dear Autonians,

I only have very good news to report in this message :)

First, we have a new Auton baby. Nathan Huang Schneider was born on
Saturday. Congrats to Jeff and Jasmine! Welcome to the world and to
the Lab Nathan!

[BTW, we actually have another Auton baby born recently -- I will be
making a separate announcement soon -- is it an incredibly productive
Summer of what?]

Next, one of our Auton babies has grown up and is just about to join
the CMU computer science undergraduate program. Congrats to Thomas Li
and his mom, our own Karen Chen! Thomas is hereby closing the loop by
returning to CMU SCS, where he was born, following and solidyfying the
path first blazed by William Moore for all other Auton babies to
follow.

Cheers,
Artur

Congrats to Jeff and Jasmine and welcome to our world little Nathan.

Artur, thank you sharing such an uplifting message.   Now I'm hanging on
the edge of my seat waiting for the next announcement so please don't keep
us waiting too long!  Say hi to Ei Ei for me.

Also congrats to YOU and the entire Auton Lab for continuing to produce
such astounding research and researchers!!!  You make us so proud.   ?

Subject: ERNIE might have said NO to radioactive shrimp
Message-ID: <CAJvAoyutLngQwUAAeijUrvDyP8oRyrMJSn4nSiAdmbs2fVPU4A@mail.gmail.com>

Team,

My sources refuse to confirm or deny that our Enhanced Radiological
Nuclear Inspection and Evaluation system (ERNIE, joint work with
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) was involved in detecting
shipments of frozen shrimp irradiated with Cesium-137 being imported
to the US from Indonesia.

But I think there is a good chance it might.

Even though we have pushed hard against false negatives, there may
still be a small risk that some shipments of these shrimp might have
gotten through the CBP Radiation Portal Monitors before one of them
was flagged.

But the chances of any radioactive shrimp (or other sea, land or air
radioactive monster) passing through unnoticed are drastically reduced
wherever and whenever ERNIE is on guard.

See this advisory from the FDA  for your situational awareness (and
maybe pause eating shrimp for a brief while):

https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-information/fda-advises-public-not-eat-sell-or-serve-certain-imported-frozen-shrimp-indonesian-firm

Cheers,
AWD

Hi,
  Node: gpu24 will be taken offline for maintenance and OS replacement on
Wednesday, 9/3/2025.
Please save all your important work on the listed node before Wednesday
morning.
Estimated down time is 1 day.

Important note:
Scratch directory on nodes gpu:24-27 is located on the system drive and
will be wiped during the OS installation.
If you want to keep files in scratch please transfer everything to
extra_scratch on the same node or send it to a different one with
sufficient free space.
