On Violations of LLM Review Policies – ICML Blog Gautam Kamath ICML 2026

2% of all #ICML papers were rejected due to researchers that violated the (agreed-upon) policy of using LLMs to peer-review papers. Fascinating. blog.icml.cc/2026/03/18/o...

Mobility 10x Summit: Accelerating Transportation Innovation Across California - UC Institute of Transportation Studies This event will convene leading experts to discuss implications and explore how RIMI research can inform transportation policy and practice.

1y since my parents' house burned in the Altadena wildfires. @SoCalGas offers appliance rebates for victims but demands install by 12/31/25. Nearly 0 homes are rebuilt. This deadline is unrealistic. @SoCalGas claims to support victims but excludes them through fine print. Not ok.

The Electric-Car Equation No One Wants to Talk About: One EV = 90 Hybrids Batteries are still a valued commodity, and hybrids make the best use of the necessary materials.

Ford's cancellation of the F-150 Lightning is a bummer for EV enthusiasts. Was Toyota correct all along with their "1:6:90 rule"? That is, for every 1 EV, you can build 6 PHEVs or 90 HEVs with equal raw materials. What do you think? www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-...

2) I propose renaming FSD to GSD. It's still not FULLY (L4/L5) self-driving. However, the rainbows are super-fun. It's definitely gay self-driving, and I love it. Tesla GSD 🌈⚡🚗

After 1 week using Tesla FSD (supervised) v14.2.1, I have TWO thoughts:
1) It's truly AMAZING. After not using FSD for ~9 months, the improvement is remarkable. It feels like maturing from a teenage driver to a professional Uber driver.

LOL.
