If we’re living in a simulation, that simulator is quite a piece of work.

How do you skim a research paper? I usually read (in order): 1) abstract 2) 1st paragraph of the intro 3) last paragraph of intro (for contributions) 4) 1st paragraph of the conclusion (it's usually one paragraph anyways) 5) figures / tables of results, and read their captions.

@hardmaru Nice! I do a 5min read with: 1) Abstract 2) Figures & Tables (+ Captions) 3) Conclusion If the paper turns out relevant to my work (~30min): 4) Main novelty section (usually part II) If further interest or attempt a reimplementation, then full paper and code.. (~0.5-14 days)
