The app works for 1) arXiv papers 2) any url of a paper obtainable from the address bar of your phone. If you copy-paste, or copy and use the clipboard button, it will try to identify the arXiv identifier from the url, and then show you the

I will look into it! edit: fyi it's originally because the information about Encryption Compliance is so confusing. I just use HTTPS and I'm pretty sure the documentation has gotten clearer in the meantime, so I'm optimistic

I wrapped this for iOS, and linked it to Twitter. If you connect it to your account, there is a separate feed of any tweet with a PDF, and one for any arXiv or PDF tweet that you've liked. [You don't have to connect, you can als

Interesting that the draft was predetermined (unlike the previous exhibition, which was live), allowing OpenAI to train ahead of time on a restricted set of matches. I wonder how long that was?

How do you beat the "tyranny of the reply"? Automatic karma deductions for 3rd tier replies? Detachment + quoting after the 2nd tier? Positioning based on the cumulative karma of the whole tree? Automatic collapse of higher

Thanks! One thing that can definitely set a course apart is having advanced topics + downloadable videos + captions. I really enjoyed the Stanford NLP CS224d videos, which hit all 3 and even have their own torrent [1]. Does anyone know if

Does anyone know about Azure auto-scaling? It says "most [VM's] include load-balancing and auto-scaling free of charge", is that true and is it any more friendly to hobbyists than the other two? It was very disappointing to

This headline (on yc) is missing a key verb from the actual paper's headline, making it confusing. The actual title is: "Age differences in learning emerge from an insufficient representation of uncertainty in older adults&quot

Thank you for voicing this view, it seems at odds with the conclusion of the gp (which is interesting too, and the consensus here at HN when this sort of issue comes up). I've been thinking about this for a while, and I would really li

This is really good to hear! I would really appreciate a single-page / pdf / ebook version of the redux documentation. Tough to read offline in the segmented pages. Maybe I'll get my wish, since it was rendered using &quot

The opposition did a terrible job of defending dog sniffs during the oral arguments. They could not articulate a reasonable rule for when they should be allowed (except that they were ok until the ticket was written). The justices repeated

This is an interesting difference to bring up. I would trace the push for high graduation rates in the US to its inclusion as a parameter in the canonical US News college ranking equations. The oft-stated reasoning is that a top-flight co

Flashcards are great, but I can't do the initial learn that way. Does anyone know of a way to do SRS but also generate a classic memorization sheet with 2 columns and like 20 pairs?

My problem with SRS is that it is useless for the first stage of memorization. The "vocab sheet" (20 word+definition lines, on a sheet) style is much more effective for me, and if this was available for any of the SRS vendors I w

You may not like LabVIEW, but it is extremely useful in some areas. For lab scientists who need to iterate quickly between taking useful data and running the experiment, it's nice to just copy and paste instead of naming new variables
