How to Access and Subscribe to ML@B Blog on Substack

Updated

ML@B Blog lives at mlberkeley.substack.com, the Substack publication of Machine Learning at Berkeley, a student organization at UC Berkeley. You can read it directly in a browser at that address, and the page offers a Subscribe button if you want new posts delivered. Two practical conditions: the site requires JavaScript to render correctly, and subscribing means agreeing to Substack's Terms of Use and Information Collection Notice and Privacy Policy.

Accessing the blog

  1. Open a browser and go to mlberkeley.substack.com.
  2. Make sure JavaScript is enabled and no script blocker is preventing scripts from running on the page. Substack states the site requires JavaScript to run correctly; if it's off or blocked, the page may not display properly.
  3. You'll land on the publication's home page, headed "ML@B Blog," with the description identifying it as a publication by Machine Learning at Berkeley, a student organization at UC Berkeley.

No account is needed just to read the public page. The site does not state otherwise, and nothing in the available information indicates a login wall for basic access.

Subscribing

The home page carries a Subscribe call to action. The flow works like a standard Substack signup:

  1. Click Subscribe.
  2. Enter your email address.
  3. Confirm, acknowledging Substack's Terms of Use and Information Collection Notice and Privacy Policy. The page shows a "No thanks" option if you'd rather dismiss the prompt.

What you get: the publication reports over 4,000 subscribers, so you'd be joining an existing readership. The available page information does not specify a free vs. paid tier, post frequency, or what a subscription includes beyond delivery of the publication — treat those as unconfirmed until you see them on the signup screen itself.

Common snags

Symptom Likely cause Fix
Page loads blank or partially JavaScript disabled or blocked Enable JavaScript or allow scripts for the domain
Subscribe prompt doesn't appear Scripts blocked, or prompt already dismissed Reload with scripts allowed; look for the Subscribe button on the page
Unsure what you're agreeing to Terms and privacy links not yet read Open Substack's Terms of Use and Information Collection Notice before confirming

Deciding whether to subscribe

Subscribe if you want ongoing posts from a UC Berkeley student machine learning organization pushed to your inbox and don't mind Substack handling your email under its terms. Skip it if you only want to browse occasionally — the public page is reachable without signing up, so bookmarking mlberkeley.substack.com covers casual reading.
