Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

The Wikipedia editors who hang out here might thank you for calling to their attention pages that clearly need to be fixed, since they cite non-peer-reviewed preprints on the arXiv, the shit journal Entropy, and the fucking LessWrong blog.

Me, I'm going to block you anyway. Bye!

don't you know, the field moves so fast that preprints are just as good as articles and requiring actual scrutiny just stifles SV innovation

(i vaguely remember that somebody allegedly important in machine learning started doing just that, that is outputting multiple preprints and leaving it at that stage instead of pushing normal papers, but can't remember who)
