Readerium··on Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science
Nopes, often times especially in math they get paid due to teaching duties (at least in the US). So technically for the math research part they are not getting any stipend.

Exactly, this is an example of "Reward Hacking", that is too common in a lot of cases.

Another case I want to highlight is writing GPU kernels as illustrated by the following example: Say I want to generate random number with Normal (0, 1) distribution. Often times the AI written kernel will just generate the number 0. The tests often fail to catch these errors.

Readerium··on MacBook Neo and how the iPad should be
Add an iPad mini esque screen on the trackpad of a MacBook.

Trackpad of a 16 inch MacBook Pro is humongous anyways.

Add a touchscreen display to the trackpad, and give it iPad OS

In coding they are worse.

Chinese models (GLM, MiniMax) are better.

Readerium··on The Problem with Linus Tech Tips [video]
The video is not monetized. It covers serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor -- by staff's own admission -- quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as 'only' entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). The video tries to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence presented, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.

Readerium··on Lessons learned from 15 years of SumatraPDF, an open source Windows app (2021)
No AMOLED screens on pure black do not consume significantly less power than a dark non pure black color.

The power consumption on pure black vs another dark color is extremely similar. This is because on AMOLED screens individual pixels control themselves and power for off vs dark is very similar.
