Thanks Johan - makes sense. Congratulations on this work.

This is super cool Johan. What is your feeling on the reason that this works so well?

Results get way better! What’s going on? I look at code added and LLM has added class labels + random noise to the vectors fed to the classifier. Adding the class labels would be a mistake I could accept… but adding some noise to them - that’s a bit suspicious! 😬

Ok - I guess I totally missed the point. 😂

At least I learned something cool.

🤔… Kersten?

Peyman: I must say that your historical perspectives and observations are some of the most interesting and insightful things online. It strikes me that important context is lost to time, but retains a role in supporting new discoveries. If you had a book full of these, I’d be first in line to buy it

Manus, make me some slides about generative AI in the style of @csprofkgd.bsky.social

Rebuttal:

I agree that the system is *very* noisy now. But it’s always felt like a bit of a lottery. The paper was rejected with a 4th reviewer giving it a 4. It’s published as a journal paper instead. I sympathize with everyone holding a lottery ticket… but keep buying your tickets! It’s worth it!

10 and 1 had the qualifier that if the paper were (accepted/rejected) the reviewer would consider not reviewing again. The 1 began with “This entire manuscript consists of pretentious rhetoric”. Reviews are certainly noisy now… but it’s always been a bit of a lottery. (2/3)

I had to give it the full exaggerated Canadian stereotype flavour. Now we’ve got a moose, a beaver, maple leaf adornments (and possibly fleur-de-lis?). Also 3 of the pieces look to be bottles of maple syrup including the beaver. 😂

Congrats Kosta! 🎓

Starter packs help a lot. Would love to see the limit on size of starter packs being raised. Assuming there is mostly a direct mapping between BlueSky names and the other place, it would be cool if there was a way to rebuild one’s own “followed” through a personalized starter pack.

Awesome Kosta - thanks! Based on how your list 2 is growing, maybe you’ll need a list 3 soon. 😂

I thought this might be coming. Given your standing in the community, I think it might be worth an AWESOME list 2. And if anyone reading this hasn’t followed Kosta yet - do it! You won’t regret it!
