I'm souring on reading papers. For example, "Keeping CALM" is a really well written paper that introduces a new concept (monotonicity). But what can you actually do with this in terms of designing or evaluating a system like Farcaster or Ethereum? Not much - it's just a well articulated restatement of some core distributed systems consistency principles that we've known for a while. Most CS papers don't really seem to do "Science" anymore - there are a few important ones, but the vast majority are publications for the sake of publications. https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.01930

Is there a good filter for papers? Something where you can specify a topic (Distributed Systems, LLMs) and get a hand curated list of really important papers that you should read.

I've personally used https://paperswithcode.com/ and filtered for interesting application use cases (esp w/ feeding into claude + trialling with artifacts)

I check Papers suggested as reading list for Stanford and MIT for Post-Graduate classes. Pick ones which are "reviews" to get the gist of topics. If there are 4 papers on topic then 4th paper is most recent and may be important.
