But not all is bad: the addition of the 5th review brought the total length of the reviews on this paper to just above the average length of the reviews that I wrote for other papers.

Our #AAAI2026 paper just got a last-minute review added to it (2 days before the rebuttal deadline and after we had already written our rebuttal) that also incredibly low quality.

Unclear how we are expected to provide rebuttals in situations like this with only 2500 characters total.

Have you considered using the monitor as a desk?

On a more serious note, this is a real recurring problem I have with desks that are within my budget. If I had 5k for a rock solid desk with no wobble, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

It actually did the misreading thing twice and both were really cut-and-dry wrong. Like it said (paraphrasing) "you wrote <this mathematical statement> on line X" and then we looked at line X and it's almost what we wrote, but with a small typo that changes the meaning completely.

The 6th was a notational thing that we overlooked in some pseudocode but is present in our actual experiments and in the main body of the paper. Easy 2 character fix in LaTeX.

No matter what the reviewer guidelines say, I am sure this will negatively impact our paper since we can't really rebut it (both by the rebuttal guidelines and the rebuttal length constraints).

The AI review for my AAAI paper made 6 concrete technical claims in the weakness section. 5 of them are 100% verifiably wrong.

Ranging from as bad as literally misreading the text (evidenced by it copy-pasting the text in the review but with a typo) to fundamentally misunderstanding an algorithm.

Dispatching on Types with the Same UnionAll (but You Don’t Know the Type Beforehand) A post about efficiently dispatching on types that are in the same UnionAll, but are possibly different concrete types (for example, A{T} and A{S}) in Julia.

This is my only cool, non-trivial one. How to dispatch on types with the same UnionAll but not necessarily the same eltype, without knowing the types ahead of time.

Like an `f` such that:

x = B{Int64}()
y = B{Float32}()
z = C{Int64}()

f(x, y) # does something
f(x, z) # fails
f(y, z) # fails

What monitors do you all recommend for a home office? Mostly for coding but some gaming (not a fan of curved monitors for gaming). 32-34" with a budget of ~$550 (a bit flexible).

Considering the Samsung M70D and _maybe_ the LG 32UN880-B (this is a bit out of the price range).

if you're interesting in gaining a better intuition for how llms behave at inference time, you should try logitloom🌱, the open-source tool i made for exploring token trajectory trees (aka looming) on base and instruct models! more info in thread

Computer Science is no longer just about building systems or proving theorems--it's about observation and experiments.

In my latest blog post, I argue it’s time we had our own "Econometrics," a discipline devoted to empirical rigor.

The Turing Language Turing.jl is a probabilistic programming language and Bayesian modelling framework for the Julia programming language.

Oh, probabilistic programming is another really great related use case.

For example, Turing.jl

Imo the best deep learning use case in Julia is physics informed neural networks, which fits in very nicely with he original motivating fields for Julia.

But I'm a bit out of the loop. I haven't used Julia seriously since ~2023 (for various reasons; I'm still a big fan).

I wouldn't for anything serious, but it is a cool language.

One thing that I think it is really nice for is getting serious open-source contributions under your belt. Since the ecosystem is so much smaller, there is a lot of accessible work to be done (whereas PyTorch is very hard to break into).
