At this dangerous moment in history, status quo politics isn’t good enough. We need new leadership that is prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests & fight for the working class.  @ZohranKMamdani is providing that vision. He is the best choice for NYC mayor.

As for so many across this country, @BernieSanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life. As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

Machine learning venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AISTATS, etc.), JMLR, and TMLR are free to publish in and free for all readers. Why does ACM has "open access" publication fees. Is ACM just less efficient, or are these fees subsidizing something else?

You see, if you're dependent on overleaf, you can't simultaneously write papers and do subterranean chronobiology experiments:

If a reviewer submits an LLM-authored review, what if major conferences ensure, for one year, that all the reviewer’s submitted papers only get reviews written by LLMs (invariably with tepid scores). It's like giving a 3 year old a video-game controller that isn't plugged in

There should be a roommate matching website for grad students (or anyone) to save money when attending conferences. There are risks, but if the participants all registered for the conference + have academic webpages, it seems ok. Bonus if participants must use conference hotels?

Suppose that each conference (e.g. NeurIPS, AISTATS) had its own "review quality" (so, further suppose that review quality is an absolute...). Should review quality factor into conference ratings like the CORE rankings? https://t.co/LAy5xbTID4 (think ALT vs NeurIPS)
