Providing
Github Pages with paper is a better way than a blog post

Writing paper is not about writing a blog post. Beyond simply providing good performance, it must provide insight. A good method to get a paper accepted is to write it so precisely verifying the idea that you lose the desire to refute it after reading the entire paper.

The terms like "substantial" are fairly weak and could be improved with specifics. Everything requires justification. Baseline and comparison are important, so make them explicit. Theoretical evidence, diverse perspectives, and consideration of wider applications are good approaches. Ensure every citation is included, even if duplicated. Provide deep analysis of limitations, substantial methods, and conclusions.

At its core, a paper should present a narrative of one to three specific concrete claims that you believe to be true, that build to some useful takeaway(s). Everything else in the paper exists to support this narrative. The second pillar of the paper is rigorous evidence for why they are true.

Support 1-3 key claims through experiments, actively defend against counterexamples and bugs, and conduct self-directed red-teaming experiments on your claims. Adjust the tone based on claim types like 'existence proof', 'quantitative generality', or 'conditional failure cases'. For novelty, clearly state in the introduction and related work sections what has changed compared to existing research. The paper structure follows an onion pattern with gradual expansion.

When we should write a paper

For narrative, list what you've learned, explain it to others, then distill what's interesting and why it should be believed.

When you have extensive knowledge and clear insights about how to understand it.

When you're confident you can defend your claims with your evidence.

Common errors

Don't obsess over publication.

Clear and concise writing is more convincing than unnecessary complexity.

Writing is as important as experiments and deserves equal time investment.

Reasoning Transparency

Present conclusions clearly upfront, with key evidence explicitly marked. Indicate confidence level for each claim. Honestly disclose the nature of evidence: whether directly experienced, read, expert opinion, or intuition.

Explain how sources were found and what was reviewed. Good example of transparency (GiveWell approach)
