From ID-based to ID-free: Rethinking ID Effectiveness in Multimodal Collaborative Filtering Recommendation
Most existing multimodal collaborative filtering recommendation (MCFRec) methods rely heavily on ID features and multimodal content to enhance recommendation performance. However, this paper reveals that ID features are effective but have limited benefits in multimodal collaborative filtering recommendation. Therefore, this paper systematically deconstruct the pros and cons of ID features: (i) they provide initial embedding but lack semantic richness, (ii) they provide a unique identifier for e…

Connecting the Quenched $g_A$ in Nuclear Matter To Dense Compact-Star Matter
An argument is developed that the long-standing mystery in nuclear physics of the effective axial-current coupling constant in nuclei, $g_A^{\rm eff}\approx 1$, could be understood in terms of the mechanism referred to as ``pseudo-conformal sound speed" in dense compact-star matter, $v_{\rm pcs}^2/c^2\approx 1/3$. Both pros and cons are presented using an effective field theory anchored on renormalization-group approach to interacting baryons on the Fermi surface that enables one to go beyond W…

Consistency formula is strictly stronger in PA than PA-consistency

Consistency formula is strictly stronger in PA than PA-consistency
In this note, we show that, despite the widespread assumption, the consistency formula for Peano Arithmetic PA, Con(PA), "for all x, x is not a code of a derivation of (0=1)," is not equivalent in PA to the consistency of PA. Specifically, we demonstrate that "PA is consistent" is provably in PA equivalent to the series ConS(PA) of arithmetical sentences "n is not a code of a derivation of (0=1)" for n=0,1,2,.... Since Con(PA) is strictly stronger in PA than ConS(PA), the unprovability of Con(P…

Software developer Heval Hazal Kurt discusses the pros and cons of relational databases, in comparison with their document-based counterparts, in this July 2025 article. Polyglot systems combining both paradigms are discussed as an ideal solution to differing data access needs within a same project.

Cons: it's mud
Pros: it's cold

The Singularity is going to be the Subject de jour again, and someone will try and debate seriously the pros and cons of being inside or outside of it.
On the invisible planet around Proxima Centauri our nearest neighbours will be shaking their heads, they satirised their way to extinction.
And they will miss the possibility of beating a touring Test side.

Is this a parody?
I don’t do #InfoSec or other cons so I don’t have a strong sense of whether the “Open Space” concept is brilliant or uproariously absurd. I lean towards the latter because it just seems to me like a recipe for people standing around.

I've been using ClickUp for a few months now...and like every other productivity tool I've used over the last number of years it has its pros and cons.
It's got a lot of features but sometimes pretty basic features don't "just work" - and that makes me unhappy. 🙁
For example, right now I have some recurring tasks that will not allow an update to their due date manually. If I set a new date it resets back to the original date. Even more concerning is that this isn't clear from the UI.
The UI acts as if the change was successful but a page refresh reveals the change didn't save.
But the real reason I wanted to post wasn't about ClickUp particularly but about chatbots in general. They verified that my issue was an actual bug and created a ticket for it but the way I've been instructed to view the ticket status is by opening the chatbot, telling it I want information on my ticket (pasting in the ticket ID) and after doing all that I get this
5/6: Umm, no. I want to see an actual ticket please. I don't want to have to talk to a chatbot to see it. Chatbots really are great for a lot of things (during the free trial of ClickUp I found the chatbot quite helpful in learning how to do things without searching through docs) but this sort of "there is a direct record", please no. Or let me paste it in and do the lookup immediately - and provide a permalink so I don't need to chat every time!
I'm sticking with ClickUp at the moment, but one of these days when I magically get a large amount of free time, I'm going to write my own solution...I've only been saying that for a few years now. ;-)
