Recent? This has been going on forever. You probably only notice them more now because due to the explosion in ML research, this stuff bubbles to the top more often in recent years.
- vsuperpower2020 2y agoYou think this has been going on forever? You probably don't realize the shift in professionality because you experienced the degradation in real time.
- mdp2021 2y ago> shift in professionality How did it happen, in your opinion?
- sigmoid10 2y agoThere is no shift in the professionalism curve. Good researchers are still good and bad ones are still bad in that regard. But if you 10x the number of researchers and/or papers in a field, the bottom 10% will seem like they are a lot more common. Especially for people outside the field who have no way of discerning high quality from low quality papers, which is all too common on HN.
- gilleain 2y agoCertainly for years. I remember a biochemistry review paper titled "50 ways to love your lever" about, well, biological levers but of course a pun on the 1975 song https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Ways_to_Leave_Your_Lover https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Ways_to_Leave_Your_Lover edit: https://www.cell.com/fulltext/S0092-8674(00)81332-X https://www.cell.com/fulltext/S0092-8674(00)81332-X
- nottorp 2y agoI'm sure I read an old article by Dijkstra about connected graphs structure that was titled "wheels within wheels" or used the term inside. Unfortunately I can't find it by either searching or using the public LLMs, because there are too many results about the shortest path algorithm and anything else about dijkstra is lost.
