Ask HN: Any nerds out there who've read a lot of research papers?

I'm well into the thousands of research papers read. Understood a fair fraction of them. Couldn't tell you what the abstract was for any. The memorable parts are the ideas and the results within the paper.
Some titles stick. "Attention is all you need". "SSA is functional programming". Plus more people see the title than read the abstract. Only one I got to name myself was "Shared Memory Remote Procedure Calls" which I now realise is in exactly the same theme of given the title, you don't need the abstract or the contents.

  Gotta have a look at yours! And I remember the name "Attention is all you need" too!

  "SSA is functional programming" changed the course of my career. Memorable indeed.
