A lady fair with a behind so hearty
Walked in the room with a waist so small
And a round thing in front of us all

Is AC’ing for #ICLR harder/easier than the other big ML conf’s (ICML/NeurIPS)? Debating whether to accept an invite; no firsthand experience with this conf. Anyone who does, what’s your take?

Gotta hand it to @FedEx. Lost my car key on a beach in OR. Had a spare sent from Seattle yesterday at 4pm and received it at beach house today at 11:30am. Saved my butt. Logistics are pretty impressive when they work.
