stack trace

Last edited: August 8, 2025

A stack trace is the output of failing code by the runtime to indicate the location of the fault. For instance, in Python:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-0b766d7d4bc7> in <module>
----> 1 0+""

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

standard error

Brian Thomas, the research guy. Don’t start research at Autumn Frosh Freshmen Year.

Getting Started

  1. Think about the Institutes (many of them do not have an UG major)
    • Stanford HAI
    • Stanford HCI?
  2. Find faculty
    • Don’t just ask for a job
    • Research the person’s publications and ask some questions about it: TRY TO ASK FOR A OFFICE HOUR MEETING WITH QUESTIONS: “I read your thing, and I would love to talk more about it”
    • (there is coaching from Brian Thomas’s office, and coaching from UAD)
  3. OR, use a program, but still talk
    • HB-ref?
    • CURIS

Stanford’s grant programs can pay for research needs. There will be people talking about grants later. Don’t worry about them. Get to the point where you need money and then figure it out.
