1:34:36ENNate Foster: Treating the Network as a ProgramYaron Minsky, Nate Foster · Jane StreetFrom programmable switches to BGP, a programming-languages researcher explains how higher-level policies and formal models can make networks easier to change.
1:12:58ENChris Lattner on Mojo and the Search for Portable GPU PerformanceYaron Minsky, Chris Lattner · Jane StreetRon Minsky and Chris Lattner discuss the language and compiler design behind Modular’s effort to make accelerator programming both portable and fast.
1:03:21ENHorace He on Building ML Systems for Trillion-Trillion OperationsHorace He · MetaHow GPU bottlenecks, compiler design and distributed parallelism shape the systems behind large-scale model training.
9:14ENOCaml Local Function Types: Why Partial Application Can EscapeRichard Eisenberg · Jane StreetRichard Eisenberg uses a list-append example to show how a local argument changes the mode of a partially applied function in Jane Street’s OCaml compiler branch.
23:25ENRichard Eisenberg: How OCaml Locals Reduce Garbage-Collected AllocationRichard Eisenberg · Jane StreetAn annotated list-processing example shows why locality must be preserved both when values are created and when functions consume them.
1:05:59ENDerek Dreyer: Proving the Safety of Rust with RustBelt and IrisDerek Dreyer · Max Planck Institute for Software SystemsRust combines safe interfaces with libraries that use unsafe code internally. Derek Dreyer explains how RustBelt verifies those libraries and why its proof needs an expressive logic for concurrency.
1:08:44ENNathan Linger on Ontology: A Language-Oriented Permissions SystemNathan Linger · Jane StreetHow Jane Street represents permissions as typed declarations and presents them through an English-language interface.
1:18:13ENLindsey Kuper on Abstractions for Correct and Efficient Parallel ComputingLindsey Kuper · University of California, Santa CruzFrom lattice-based shared state to non-invasive parallel languages and neural-network verification, high-level abstractions can make systems both safer and faster.
1:08:43ENRon Minsky on Types and Why They Matter in SoftwareYaron Minsky · Jane StreetType systems can make programs faster, catch mistakes and guide large refactorings, but their value depends on the language and the work. Ron Minsky explains the trade-offs through practical examples.
1:10:18ENShriram Krishnamurthi on Designing Computing Curricula for Real ClassroomsShriram Krishnamurthi · Brown UniversityThe Bootstrap project treats curriculum design as an engineering problem: start with goals and constraints, then support teachers and measure learning.
52:51ENCaveat Configurator: When Configuration Becomes CodeDominick LoBraico · Jane StreetDominick LoBraico explains why flexible OCaml plugins created production problems at Jane Street, and how configuration generation and disciplined plugin management address them.
1:09:24ENYaron Minsky on Effective ML: Writing OCaml for Code ReadersYaron Minsky · Jane StreetPractical lessons from Jane Street on using types, interfaces and abstraction to keep a large OCaml codebase understandable and correct.
51:35ENYaron Minsky on Effective ML: Interfaces, Invariants and Code ReadersYaron Minsky · Jane StreetIn the first part of a 2011 Harvard lecture, Jane Street’s Yaron Minsky shows how OCaml interfaces and types can make long-lived code easier to understand and change.
