I think we're all guilty of occasionally slipping in a self citation, but adding five/six papers in a completely irrelevant area seems like really bad practice

I was reading a paper (by a full prof!) that included a paragraph in related work that was completely irrelevant and was there just to cite a bunch of the author's own work. This type of behavior makes me not trust the work of such authors.

That will not show citations

Apparently lots of friends will be in SD for NeurIPS.

I actually only watch anime and do magic tricks in the list. Occasionally build models (but from data and using gradient decent)

It's a miracle I've found a partner in my life.

I'm offended

Growing fresh tomatoes is hard work, but it really pays off once your 1yo picks them up when you are not watching and squishes them into flat mush

I can see why the student thinks I always wear the "hooded long blue long-sleeve shirt"

The last question for my CSE230 final was
“Draw a comic about anything we learned in this class (e.g., Proving theorems with Coq, types, functional programming, Loris, etc.)”
Here are the best ones.

What version of the Turing test is
"Can a human pretend to be an AI?"
