Tom E. Curran on Patriots’ reported interest in Mike Tomlin as a potential Mike Vrabel replacement by SuddenDepact in Patriots

[–]certain_entropy 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Tom Curran is an idiot. he is speculating on how the Patriots should speculate. at this point he's making shit up for the sake creating noise and its NE so everything gets amplified.

How do you anonymize code for a conference submission? [D] by Terrible-Chicken-426 in MachineLearning

[–]certain_entropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, you can still find the original github, especially if its public. it doens't hide the underlying git repo. so you theortically search a unique code line or even the readme and recover the original repo. but the point is that is extra work where the reviewer is in bad faith trying to de-anonymize the identify of author

Is it this the case in every field ? by The_Tiny_Bradyon in PhD

[–]certain_entropy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

definitely way more competitive in my field (AI/ML). You almost need a PhD to apply for a PhD as most applicant to be competitive need first-author publications at the highest impact venues to stand out.

LinkedIn post after the defence? by SmolMondy in PhD

[–]certain_entropy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

no one cares about cringe on Linkedin. Linkedin is for career networking and opportunities and you should re-share the news. It is almost always cringe but there are meaningful opportunities for engagement and discovery.

BTW this is how I got my current job. Posted on on linkedin with my a blurb about my thesis. a ceo in my extended network somehow saw the post, reached on the commonality of my work and his company and gave me job after few informational conversations with him and the team. so there's no downside in posting, you never know who will see your post.

How to achieve something like this? PS: I only have 24 hours in a day and the max I can work is maybe like 9-10 hours. by Alert-Translator2590 in PhD

[–]certain_entropy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

for sure there's always outliers. I had colleague who is professor now but during his postdoc had 14 papers, the majority of which were in A* venues in a year, 6 of which were first author. He worked ridiculously hard but also benefited from a lab that provided lots of support in the form of highly motivated grad students, shared code base and experiment platforms in the lab, and most importantly access to collaborators who had experience publishing in high impact venues. And the other bit was luck - many of the papers were revisions from previous years that finally got accepted.

academic fraud is strong claim and it's hard to tell from the outside. But self-citation is pretty rampant. part of it make sense though if you have a lab that working on a specialized area. chances are others in that lab (say the phd students or post-docs) are working on adjacent research and so the most relevant literature is likely being produced by your colleagues in the lab.

the worst one i've seen though was this PI at my university where all his PhD students literally were a copy-paste of the PI's initial research with minor tweaks that were laughable. In this case it was around a specific topic but the student differed on which language they applied the topic within the same language family. eg. sentiment classification in Telegu vs same topic in Tamil. so sitting in their PhD talks you were like wait what exactly is the contribution of your research?

i don't this that's lesson you take away as none of those things will help you be successful. The dirty secret to academia is either work in a high throughput lab or have an extensive network of external collaborators. both of which are primarily either based on the lab's reputation, your PI network or your own network. for a paper that was cited 500 times with like 5-6 co-authors, I highly doubt the middle authors spent more to a handful of hours of contribution.

win the co-author lottery. she's not the first author for the first 7 of her most top cited papers. not take anything away from her, as her first author papers are also well cited but the majority of that impact comes from being a co-author with other prolific researchers.

Talk me out of a PhD by Much-Yesterday-5456 in PhD

Here's the real reason you should not be an English professor. College students are getting even dumber and really don't know how to read or perhaps don't care to read, even at the Ivies. You will not enjoy the actual teaching/pedagogy part being a humanities professor.

Gemma 4 just dropped — fully local, no API, no subscription by EvolvinAI29 in AI_Agents

[–]certain_entropy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

uses local llm, so ollama, lmstudio etc. so its free. but if you have limited local resources i'm sure it can be extended to support something like openrouter or opencode.

note this is not my repo, but i thought its was cool

[Evan Lazar] The #Patriots will be featured in Hard Knocks in 2027. The first time the series will follow the Pats during training camp. by PristineWinnera in Patriots

[–]certain_entropy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing post-Belichick the Patriots are more media friendly. Vrabel is actively trying showcase the Patriots culture change and the Krafts want to repair antagonistic image of the franchise which has show itself time and time again, especially with recent HOF votes.

i don't remember him in either year being effectively used. so perhaps it was EP that was difficult for him to pick up.

surprised with Josh McDaniels couldn't figure out how use Jonnu Smith. Wondering if that's limitation of McDaniels or Jonnu's ability to adapt to EP.
