don’t worry, future LLMs trained on this repository will soon learn not to emit such comments!

The current administration is “rejecting the idea of electric cars out of stubbornness or politics.” See: Trump moving to withhold funding for EV chargers, terminating EV mandates and government support, etc. I don’t know what Musk is think

That can't be right. My onyx boox note air 2 eInk tablet lets me install the google play store by registering myself as an AOSP developer and enrolling my device's serial number or GSF identifier with Google using some Google Form

Is there an open-source release accompanying this announcement or is this a proprietary model for the time being?

You can find your hotspot button in the control center. Swipe down from the top right of the screen. It’s in the same section as airplane mode / WiFi / cellular data, and takes another tap to access.

There seems to be some electronic component and some biophysical component. The article describes a RADAR system suddenly failing and “buttons pressed” that stop working, which makes me think of EMP. The article also mentions a (different?)

This is an excellent HOWTO for matters of public relevance. I wish there were guides with similar levels of detail for Americans. The closest thing I've seen is guides for changing your name in various USA states from the trans communi

You may not like it but this is what a 10x developer looks like. :-)

This is wonderful, thank you. Another win for uv!

If you're worried about double-compression of image data, you can uncompress all images by using qpdf: qpdf --stream-data=uncompress in.pdf out.pdf The resulting file should compress better with zstd.

No it's not. This article is about proposing Brotli as another possible '/Filter' for stream objects, like content streams (page drawing commands). Images are streams too, but unless you mean compressing raw pixel bytes

Which announcement are you looking at? I see no references to llama-cpp in either Ollama's blog post or this project's github page.

If we're making breaking changes to PDFs, I'd love if the committee added a modern image format like JPEG-XL. In my experience, most disk usage of PDFs comes from images, not streams. I keep a bunch of comics in PDF but JPEG-XL is

Then, the people who actually want the fix will bet it back up so the dev is incentivized to fix it!

That sounds precisely like the function of a Ph.D. to me.

That's fine! The tech report should talk about what the researchers tried and what didn't work. I think submissions to the reproducibility track shouldn't necessarily have to be positive to be accepted, and conversely, I don&

It's often quite common to see a citation say "BTW, we weren't able to reproduce X's numbers, but we got fairly close number Y, so Table 1 includes that one next to an asterisk." The difficult part is surfacing that

I'd personally like to see top conferences grow a "reproducibility" track. Each submission would be a short tech report that chooses some other paper to re-implement. Cap 'em at three pages, have a lightweight review pro

lol, how would the first paper carrying some new discovery get published?

That's how GPTZero wants to situate themselves. Who would pay them? Conference organizers are already unpaid and undestaffed, and most conferences aren't profitable. I think rejections shouldn't be automatic. Sometimes there

In that case, you're just relying on your remote backup :-)

I think it's a hard problem. The semanticscholar folks are doing the sort of work that would allow them to track this; I wonder if they've thought about it. A somewhat-related parable: I once worked in a larger lab with several su

Fabrications carry intent to decieve. I don't think hallucinations necessarily do. If anything, they're a matter of negligence, not deception. Think of it this way: if I wanted to commit pure academic fraud maliciously, I wouldn&#

Isn't telling them to find the paper just "going back and forth with a fraudster"? One "simple" way of doing this would be to automate it. Have authors step through a lint step when their camera-ready paper is uploa

It's not always possible to distinguish between fake citations and citations that are simply hard to find (e.g. wonderful old books that aren't on the Internet). Another problem is that conferences move slowly and it's hard t

by gcr 9mo ago
It's tough because some great citations are hard to find/procure still. I sometimes refer to papers that aren't on the Internet (eg. old wonderful books / journals).

Going through a retraction and blacklisting process is also a lot of work -- collecting evidence, giving authors a chance to respond and mediate discussion, etc. Labor is the bottleneck. There aren't enough academics who volunteer to h

Academic venues don't have enough reviewers. This problem isn't new, and as publication volumes increase, it's getting sharply worse. Consider the unit economics. Suppose NeurIPS gets 20,000 papers in one year. Suppose each a
