Are you a bot? Look in the title. Papers with code.

To be fair PwC is a very well established initialism. It would be like saying HTTP but actually referring to something other than the well understood meaning of that thing.

If that were the case, I'd expect to be able to learn what it stands for in the first page of google results, but alas...

And you know what is on the front page? PricewaterhouseCoopers

I think you agree with me? It is unambiguously associated with PricewaterhouseCoopers.

No, but I hate TLA overuse. Don't you? "Are you a bot" is an obvious slur when it's easy to see for yourself that I'm not.

It’s not overuse when first use in context is spelled out.

I still don't see where HF is explained?

Its not even just commonly used. I’d say if papers with code tried to refer to themselves as PwC they’d get a cease and desist.

I just don't see how you could have read the title (and comments) and not figured out that PwC was Papers With Code as a human, especially as it's mentioned in the comment with that acronym.

I played a somewhat unusual role in this whole story. I was the guy who acquired in the original Papers with Code and managed them after they joined Facebook/Meta. It was super sad to see FB/M abandon the original mission of what PwC was building towards and let the original community resource rot. During the good times, we always talked about how PwC related to HF. So, I think there is a sort poetry to PwC winding u…

Thanks a lot for your comment!

"Son of PwC" sure sounds like a compliment :) Let me know if you want to get in touch to discuss a bit more in-depth, I would be curious to hear some stories from the past!

This is a bit off-topic (though tangentially related) - does anyone remember a similar blog where the author would do something like a "5 minute paper" review, i.e. they'd discuss findings and try to communicate the main point? It was usually a paper per week, mostly CompSci / maths papers IIRC

Was it "The morning paper" by Adrian Colyer? - https://blog.acolyer.org/

Yes sadly it has been discontinued. It was amazing -- it was "Summarise this paper .Explain Like I am Five" prompt to LLM before the LLM days
