bot, or someone heavily using an LLM. all 26 “papers” listed on orcid were written in 2026 and “published” on zenodo

Graduate students! Hah! ML researchers can only hope their papers at ICLR/ICML/NeurIPs are reviewed by graduate students!

This article is missing (extremely important) context that CS enrollment at Berkeley was restricted significantly. Many students at Berkeley want to major in CS, but can’t.

The art’s aesthetic, which resembles Calvin and Hobbes, is disrespectful to its creator, Bill Watterson’s. Bill spent a lot of energy fighting commercialization of his work, arguin…

A big problem is that the range that we have decided to call “normal” might not actually be a normal range. For example, 50% of surfers were found to have insufficient vitamin D in…

Basically, a proxy. You don't need to deep copy; you just need to return a proxy object that falls back to the original dict if the key you are requesting has not been found or mod…

Monads do not need to build up a computation. The identity functor is a monad.

Yes.

The sun’s radiation hitting earth is 44,000 terawatts. I think we’re fine with an “extra” terawatt. (It’s not even extra, because it would be derived from the sun’s existing energy…

> I would like to learn category theory properly one day, at least to that kind of "advance undergraduate" level she mentions. As someone who tried to learn category theory, and th…

No, sorting 50/2ish things 50 times allegedly takes 1-2ms. Which is only slightly more believable.

It is not critical for register assignment -- in fact, SSA makes register assignment more difficult (see the swap problem; the lost copy problem). Lifetime analysis is important fo…

Here's a concise explanation of SSA. Regular (imperative) code is hard to optimize because in general statements are not pure -- if a statement has side effects, then it might not …

> M5 is 4-6x more powerful than M4 In GPU performance (probably measured on a specific set of tasks).

Money circulates but resources do not. A human hour spent constructing a data center can’t then be used to build an apartment building.

WCOJs guarantee an (asymptotic) upper bound on join complexity, but often with the right join plan and appropriate cardinality estimations, you can do much better than WCOJ. The ru…

> You can end up writing nearly the exact same code twice because one needs to be async to handle an async function argument, even if the real functionality of the wrapper isn't as…

There are many comments that don't see the point of the article. For example, why not just use the tools the operating system provides for sandboxing? This article seems to be dire…

Sorry, you're right that the chart on the home page does not have human performance. The leaderboard chart does: https://arcprize.org/leaderboard . And the leaderboard by default s…

> AI already blows most people out of an IQ test at a fraction of the computational power of a brain AFAIK, IQ tests used in psychological evaluations do not contain any randomness…

IVM is not new, but the DBSP (2022) perspective is relatively new for databases (where the classic literature is from the 70s and 80s). It is misleading to say that IVM reduces the…

> ibuprofen is better in every way. Taking ibuprofen (or other NSAIDs) long-term can wear away the stomach lining, causing ulcers. Acetaminophen is generally better tolerated to ma…
