Counting ArXiv Delays (fi-le.net)

I'd like to see a cumulative version of that power law plot. How many papers had a delay of at least X days.

I have been bit by several inexplicable, long delays recently. In my case, I suspected the reason was choosing stat.ml as primary and cs.lg as cross-list, which, after my time in purgatory, was flipped (without asking me, of course). My choice was completely defensible.

It's almost like peer review all over again!

Just wanted to say that the plots are so nice. They perfectly balance visual noise and information density, _and_ they're aesthetically pleasing.

With the rise of ai, ai-based papers, and ais writing terrible papers; why are you surprised or frustrated?

Wouldn’t you want some kind of barrier against slop?

Yes, the daly time recently is absolutely ridiculous. Been waiting on a preprint that's already been accepted in a top journal for seemingly no reason.
