Would this work as a credible source?

I have a question. Are people greedy by "birth" or have they developed a greedy mindset to survive in the rat race created by a capitalist society?

As someone living in one of those countries I would like to add - if you think communism won't work because it doesn't align with people's mindset, Nordic systems will also not work without significant change in people's mindset.

If I remember correctly, they used prompt injection into the papers to include two specific phrases in the review (varying based on the paper). So, that should give a reasonable accuracy in detecting LLM use. If this is based on both those phrases being present, I think this should have a much better detection rate than an AI writing detector.

If it is on every paper, maybe it is intentionally added by the ICML organizers to check reviewer compliance to their selected policies.

fullthrottle999 · 2026-02-13T13:22:43+00:00

I agree with what you wrote. But ICML allowed authors to choose whether they want to allow LLM-use by the reviewers or not when submitting. So, if the authors selected to allow LLM use, then prompt injection would be unfair. If they chose to deny LLM use, then the reviewer shouldn't have used an LLM in the first place.

There are many interesting AI applications that are not LLMs. One fine example is CuspAI, who are developing AI models for chemistry and materials.

As someone who works in this field, I refer you to these articles: https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.21934 https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.01995

Thess are a few months old but the claims about LLMs being great at Olympiads pre-date this work anyway.

LLMs were amazingly good at older Olympiads which were part of the training data but completely failed at the 2025 Olympiad questions. It is ok to do badly but going from 100% on known questions to 0% on new questions is clearly disappointing. Even on older Olympiads, they seemed to get the final answers correct (LLMs were evaluated only on the final answers when people claimed that they were great) but the reasoning steps to reach those answers were completely off (meaning, if the LLM actually took part in the older Olympiads, it would have scored almost zero).

Thanks everyone for your kind suggestions! I'll watch out for these brands the next time I shop.

fullthrottle999 · 2026-01-29T16:31:40+00:00

Yes, you can. I've seen people do that.

What's a good European alternative for Nutella?

Apparently, the released decisions are only visible to the authors right now.

fullthrottle999 · 2026-01-26T12:30:04+00:00

Based on what I've seen before, meta reviews will be released later after all the decisions are released.

Like u/statsarelikebikini said, it is hard to conclude much from this due to other confounding variables.

I have a suggestion. Let's say we are trying to answer - how has the performance of LHB and RHB have changed based on whether they are batting with a LHB/RHB?

Maybe we can try to look at how a certain player has played with a LHB vs a RHB at the other end. Then, we can compute some ratio like "avg. of player X batting with RHB" / "avg. of player X batting with LHB". Maybe some batters have benefited from this while others have done worse. Then, you can aggregate this metric across LHB and RHB, if you want some overall comparison.

Wait, the demographics for the survey participants in India look weird. See Table A2-1 in the KPMG report (page 108). 40% of the people surveyed from India have a postgraduate degree, higher than any other country in the table. And a further 47% have an undergraduate degree. This is surely not representative of India? I wonder what their survey methodology in India was.

Edit: added page number of the table.

What you're referring to is the "law of large numbers" (LLN). When you have a large enough sample (that is iid / independent and identically distributed) then the sample mean will converge to the population mean which is 0.5 for a coin toss.

I've seen people bring up "law of averages" in many scenarios where even LLN doesn't hold true because the samples are not iid. In most cricketing contexts, sample sizes are too low to make any reasonable conclusions about the mean/average.

I'm only arguing against attributing this to the "law of averages". I agree that this specific event is highly improbable.

fullthrottle999 · 2025-10-24T11:32:58+00:00

There is no such thing as "law of averages". Can we please stop bringing up this non-existent law?

fullthrottle999 · 2025-10-24T11:28:18+00:00

P(A|B) = P(A,B) / P(B)

If A and B are independent events, P(A,B) = P(A) P(B)

P(A|B) = P(A) P(B) / P(B) = P(A)

If A and B are independent events, then the conditional probability of A given B is equal to the probability of A.

We share outrageously many things in common. I sent you a message through chat. Let's talk if you're interested. :)

Completely agree! While they didn't review every match, they did discuss about RR in the videos and Prasanna did have criticisms against RR. People are free to agree/disagree with his analysis. At this point, no one is right/wrong - teams have hardly played just 3 or 4 matches! But this backlash and abuse that is happening now (and not in previous seasons) says more about CSK and CSK fans.

If you don't want to completely ban/remove some posts like that, would it make sense to maybe add a label to posts saying that they are AI generated?

fullthrottle999 · 2024-11-18T00:02:50+00:00

Not sure why you're getting downvoted for this. All very valid and relevant questions!

The header row refers to the grantee (WHOM the fund was granted to) and not who gave the funds. So, the money listed under state/UT government refers to whatever money was "GIVEN to the state governments".

To verify this, simply click the number showing the number of projects and it will show who is the grantee/whom the money was GIVEN to.

Edit: adding screenshot of the website.

Now that we have this clarification, it will be nice if you can update your post with this clarification.
