1. A Whimsical Odyssey Through the Maze of Scholarly Reviews

   Authors often encounter three formidable gatekeepers in the labyrinthine corridors of academic publishing: the Confused Reviewer, the Rational Reviewer, and the Lazy Reviewer.

2. Room-Temperature Superconductivity Heats Up

   Compounds that display superconductivity are incredibly rare, and many require specific pressures or conditions to perform in a desired manner.

3. Pitfalls in Machine Learning for Computer Security

   Generic pitfalls related to machine learning affect all security domains and can affect the entire machine learning workflow, weakening assumptions, conclusions, and lessons learned.

4. Technical Perspective: Machine Learning in Computer Security is Difficult to Fix

   The study points out some common issues hindering the design of ML models for computer security and how to overcome them.

5. Looking Within

   "We’ve been doing a lot more work with the cloud, because not every clinic or hospital is going to own a supercomputer."
