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 title + abstract. Then you have to download the PDF, preview the transformed copy (copy stays in the cloud for 24h), and finally request a fully reflowed copy. The reflow is limited to about 30s via AWS Lambda, so this is not for dissertations -- this is for 2-20 page papers you can reasonably read on your phone. Nevertheless, there is a progress bar at the top of the screen to show you it's working, at that stage. These steps are pretty much reproduced in the app store images.
For a non-arXiv link, the only difference is that there is no abstract. But note, the link can't just be to the journal page, you've got to get a PDF mime-type when it's requested.
There are some things I should change, but it's very useful to me, and I just verified it works for both arXiv and non-arXiv. If it's not working for you, I would suggest deleting and reinstalling (sorry!).
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 also just input the URL or quick-paste].
It's great for following your favorite scientists and professionals, and now I favorite more of their posts, which makes me happy because I feel like I am spreading more love in the world.
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?
TFA says the plantation took a $MM loss on their last sugar harvest, and intends to "diversify". According to another article about the company [0], this diversification is:
"""
• Energy crops: “HC&S has initiated crop trials to evaluate potential sources of feedstock for anaerobic conversion to biogas,” stated the company’s press release. The statement added that HC&S has entered into “preliminary, but confidential, discussions with other bioenergy industry players to explore additional crop-to-energy opportunities.”
• Cattle: As noted above, HC&S is “working with Maui Cattle Company to conduct a grass-finishing pasture trial in 2016.”
• Food crops: “A&B plans to establish an agriculture park on former sugar lands in order to provide opportunities for farmers to access these agricultural lands and support the cultivation of food crops on Maui.” Former company employees would get preference in leasing lots.
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 tiers (a la reddit...)
Super-powered collapse buttons, for when people get tired mid-tree
I wish something were done, but I bet it will be an addon, not HN, first.
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 there's a platform for crowdsourcing video captions, maybe from the anime world?
Edit: it appears as though you can correct the auto-generated captions on Youtube videos (perhaps only if you're the owner). What a great way to get labeled Speech Recognition data for free.
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 see the auto-scaling services for GCP and AWS basically require a $20/mo load balancer right off the bat. I have an app that is quietly puttering away on a single Digital Ocean droplet, but could at any moment, uh, make it big and I want to be ready. But I can't really stomach the $20 just to turn on auto-scaling somewhere.
