I agree that something must be done, but the hydration break is the wrong solution for two reasons. First, plenty of countries have been regularly playing under these conditions and will keep doing so after the World Cup. Too hot to play in

Speaking for the *ACL conferences, they are not "random people" in the sense that they must have "(a) at least two papers in main ACL events or Findings, plus (b) at least one more paper in the ACL Anthology or a major ML&#x2

The best answer to that question is the development blog they made for the first game: https://blog.thimbleweedpark.com/archives.html At a quick glance: four months for the engine (which they wrote from scratch [1]) and, ba

If you feel like trying a hail Mary to perhaps improve the ending I have two theories that I couldn't muster enough strength to check. Also, spoilers from here on. First, there's a fridge that you can't open close to the endi

Let's say I'm one of such people. How would you convince me that your comment is any different from the ones we've been getting since roughly GPT-3 claiming that AGI is finally here and that, while the previous models were ba

I deleted my account when they deprecated i.reddit.com. It's mildly funny to read comments lamenting the death of "the good mobile interface" when the amazing one was already killed years ago. > we have yet to see an al

The problem with spam is that it's not a technology like AI is. So I suggest taking cars instead. Cars have plenty of advantages, and yet no one would say "the number of pedestrians killed by cars is rising, but that's an iss

I recently desk-rejected a paper where every single citation in its Introduction was hallucinated. That means that the entire connection between what the author(s) did and how it relates to existing research was simply made up. I've ne

Since we're off-topic, most of the information in that article (as it's often the case) is based mostly on Christopher Hitchen's work (book and documentary), a man who describes himself as "antitheist" and made a li

I cannot speak for the intended purpose of ArXiv by its creators but I can tell you that, in the conference circles, its main intended use was flag planting: people were afraid that their competitors would tweet some results while their (ea

Two weeks ago a heatwave linked to climate change killed in Germany an excess 1300 people [1, 2]. It was the deadliest single day of the last 25 years [3] - the mean numbers of deaths per day is 2400 while June 29 reports 4800. If the attit

I disagree with that conclusion: even if the chainmail were indeed very uncommon (no idea), getting it from China was so easy that he even got it when actively trying to avoid it. And since the chainmail is the revolutionary part of the ide

It may not sound like a satisfying answer, but: because I'm not here to earn a language certificate but rather to live and work, my German is more than fine, and I think my time could be better employed doing something else. I've

I'd argue the opposite: because they are focusing on knowledge acquisition they are trying to separate the medium (the books) from the objective. 40 years ago books were the only way to obtain knowledge. Nowadays even those who come fo

You are being unfair to the spirit of the original quote. Yes, the quote is naive in expecting a world where those who own share with those who rent without nefarious motives. But sharing, particularly in this context when profit is out of
