Hi, we tried using a single model for the entire seq-to-seq task but the number of examples in PLAIN is huge which causes the model to perform worse on other classes. The reason we used XGBoost was to separate the two very different tasks (predicting whether a word in normalized; predicting the sequence of normalized tokens).

On the other hand, as mentioned when comparing text normalization systems it is more important to look at the exact kinds of errors made by the system (not only the overall accuracy). Our model showed improvement over the baseline model in https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.00068. DNC showed improvement in certain semiotic classes such as DATE, CARDINAL and TIME making zero unacceptable predictions in these classes, LSTM was susceptible to these kinds of mistakes even when a lot of training data was available. Yes, we do not use internal computation steps, the model replaces a standard LSTM in a seq-to-seq model with a DNC. However thanks for the suggestions it would be interesting to see the performance improvements if the internal computation steps are increased.

I feel smaller cities in Greece strike a good balance in general. You don't feel too starved for options, you don't get the feeling that it's awfully crowded either and rents are generally super affordable.

I assume other Mediterranean countries are similar, but great weather and the general way of life it affords people and the culture it facilitates, all these have huge benefits to your day to day well being.

Personally, I'm currently stuck in Athens but I want to eventually move to central Greece when I land a remote gig.
A rather biased source for sure but last years first solar analyst day presentation had an interesting remark regarding the duck curve. See page 3 of http://investor.firstsolar.com/static-files/2c0866ad-c821-49...

But yes it is going to be harder and harder to compete with solar in a supply priced market.

> I actually like having something between my eyes and flying objects

When I got contacts, walking through bushland suddenly terrified me. My eyes felt so exposed and vulnerable! Growing up with glasses I'd never realised how protected they made my eyes feel.

Wearing glasses also lets me safely ride with my visor open most of the time and I like the wind on my face. Well, there was that one time I ran into a bee so it's not 100% safe but my eyes were still fine...
I was in couple's counseling briefly with my husband. He also was very briefly in therapy on his own. He was extremely introverted. He hated telling all this private stuff to a counselor.

One day, I told him "You don't have to go to therapy. I don't care if you go to therapy or not. Therapy is a means to an end. Therapy per se doesn't matter. I only want our marriage to be better. I don't care how that happens."

So he quit both his own therapy and couple's counseling. And he was promptly and permanently a better husband.

There are many paths.

I'm sorry you had this experience. I grew up with a stay-at-home-mother who cooked two fresh meals every day (And usually bread or Müsli for breakfast), my grandmothers did this too. I loved helping her in the kitchen and now with my own family I try to do the same, fresh ingredients, diverse meals - and I always prefer home-made meals even over restaurants, which are pretty high quality here in Austria. Homemade, self-cooked still tastes better, has higher quality (Organic and wholefoods) and you can't beat the price of basic ingredients. And cooking is surprisingly easy once you have some basic skills, surely a much flatter learning curve than software development or other professional skills!
The paper I linked "sampled ... 56% of all passenger cars sold in Europe in 2016". So they all have this stuff, right?

Maybe next year's models will actually use it fully, and become clean. I'm not holding my breath though, it seems like a political problem. And if they do use it fully, in the real world, will they still be more CO2 efficient, and by how much? After all, the efficiency measure is the major incentive for all this cheating.
Docz: It has never been so easy to document your things
I have been doing that for years form me and for others(managing people) so they do not procrastinate with the team like they will do if alone. I do that without telling them I am doing that.

I will add some things I consider very important:

Use paper, write things down. Dividing a big task means nothing if you have no external memory you could trust to free the brain short term memory but you could recover it later. Paper today is the cheapest and more advanced external memory there is.

You could also use a tape recorder if you prefer audio memory.

After creating small sub task(tactics) from your general strategic thinking, put a checklist square near it. When you finish the task, check it.

Every hour of deep work, mark it on a calendar like a prisoner does with sticks. This provides visual feedback for your brain of your accomplishments, specially with hard tasks that takes months to complete.

The word for managing to do dread task is "reframing" into something that is important and positive for you.

Of course if you have money and power you could delegate most of the dreaded task, like googlers do with most of their domestic chores.

There are more things but the important thing is that you need practice, practice and practice until you get it. And like in anything else you will learn it much much faster if you personally know someone who "gets it" and learn from this person directly.

I have met some "naturals" of this processes in my life but I am not. I developed this skill over a long period of time, making me super productive compared to when I started.

The model specifications used for the Kaggle competition was a lot different than the one mentioned in the paper. The paper compares on the same test set used by https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.00068. DNC showed significant improvement over LSTM as a recurrent unit of a seq-to-seq model with almost zero unacceptable mistakes in certain semiotic classes. LSTM, on the other hand, is susceptible to these kinds of mistakes even when a lot of data is available.

The problem though is you can easily imagine the correct conditions for producing the food/drink can be found (or artifically constructed) in any variety of places; the us protects a companies branding, but its very strange (to me at least) to protect a location's branding.

The outcome was not entirely unexpected. The article mentions that this is what Zimbardo originally intended. But I think even more important in this story is the great story-like quality of the result. It's a great story, and it "makes you think", as they say. One professor in this text is quoted actually saying that the story is bigger, meaning presumably more important, than the science. I remember similar reactions when some of Gladwell's shenanigans was uncovered. It just doesn't matter if it's true, if it makes a nice story. In fact, it's probably even better if it's not true.

The flexibility you get with pen and paper, e.g. draw arrows between arbitrary words / equations, you can't really beat.

But for the specific use-cases you mentioned:

- Org-mode allows you to integrate code into the document, hence to draw a function you could easily write a small snippet of code outputting a plot, which will be embedded in the document.

- I actually do this sometimes too! For the color-coding, Org-mode allows you to embedd arbitrary LaTeX such as "\textcolor{red}{\alpha}". I've set up a Yasnippet which lets me type "color + [TAB]" and expands to "\textcolor{}{}" with my cursor inside the curly brackets. I type "red" and hit TAB again, and then type whatever I want to be coded in red. For descriptions, I'm unsure why you couldn't as easily do this in a document. In my documents I usually have a larger body of text deriving/explaining the equation, and then I simply put the equation into a definition-block for further reference. Then I know that I can jump to its definition, and I'll find a more thorough explanation of it.
The lightning bolt really makes me assume that you can use it to charge.

"So I searched trough my websites: Remove Facebook Like Button, Remove analytics, Add privacy statement, Add cookie opt-in/out …. the list goes on."

This is exactly why GDPR is so essential.

Not a single thought about why allowing tracking or the trade offs for others gain had occurred before GDPR.

For a blog GDPR is a non-issue.

Though I'm deeply disappointed in how many large sites have interpreted "opt in" as spending 5 minutes vigorously unchecking boxes with ambiguous meaning, hopefully that will bite them hard.

This isn't rocket science. Yes, if you go out of your way trying to game your users privacy as much as possible then things will get hairy. That's a feature and the whole point.
Oh yeah it's entirely over the top to demand license plates and a license IMO, and understandably the scooters aren't made to carry license plates. Just stating that the post I was replying to is mistaken.

I get that it's a satirical article, but I don't understand the point it's making.

This is the result of people having the psycho rigidity to assume happiness is the golden standard of life, the moral standard of "things that are good, and things that are bad".

"Things could be worse" is a good enough way to look at things, but ultimately, when people have bad feelings, remember it can stem from their biology, education or way of life.

It's important to concede that certain things can be deterministic in life. What is worse is this obsession to always get better in every minute of your life. Cults have similar obsessions.

Just let go a little.
Install Ubuntu Bionic Beaver on a Usb
I've been doing keto for about six weeks and following along in the community.

You are correct. It's amazing.

Some folks view this as some kind of evil corporate overlord thing, but I think the answer is much closer to home: we like stuff with sugar in it. So other people are going to put sugar in stuff so that we'll like it more. Sadly it looks as simple as that.

I had tried low-carb before and couldn't stay on it. What I didn't know back then was that you can fall off your low carb diet without even realizing it. There are so many items with hidden sugars that it's impossible not to -- unless, as you say, you prepare all of your stuff. (My strategy is to curate items that are safe.)

Carbs past a certain point are addictive, although probably at the low end of the addiction scale. I believe this is because if you live in an environment where fruit only ripens one month a year, it's important to have a biological drive to fatten up on those easy sugars in preparation for the winter months. Of course we don't live in that environment any more.

And you will lie to yourself, making it even worse. I imagine what happens to most folks is that they accidentally eat enough carbs to start triggering perverse insulin responses, then "decide" to go ahead and eat one or two things that they've always loved. After all, those one or two things by themselves are fine, right? And then we've flipped over the tipping point.

I am amazed at the obesity crisis in the West, although it seems like a natural outcome to so many plentiful foods. The part that amazes me is how nutrition experts consistently blew it, over and over again recommending public health policies that only worsen the problem.
I've just about had it with these GDPR shitposts on HN.

The website the author talks about (datenschutzhelden.de meaning "data protection heroes") was apparently a platform to share tools and best practices for online privacy.

That's truly next level hypocrisy.

For a start your internal devices shouldn't have an Internet-routable prefix assigned.

Secondly, refer to other comments re: firewalls
In the "Learning How to Learn" course, that was mentioned in the MOOC-discussion a while back, they suggest tackling this by focusing on process over product and tying a reward to it:

"I'm just gonna sit here and do taxes for 25 minutes and then eat some chocolate" rather then "I'm going to finish my taxes".

The reasoning is that by removing the pressure of completing the whole task you can sometimes convince yourself to stop procrastinating.

If that still doesn't do it for you then at least you have the chocolate.
Even though a part of me wants to store everything (like Art) in exact detail when it was originally made, I'm building a certain appreciation for just letting things diminish and atrophy. Not needing to fix everything to be exactly how it was like brand new.

Almost Getting Sherlocked by Apple’s Core Image Team
Do you mind linking your github profile so people can see what to aspire to as regards their github profile.
Watching this thread from yesterday, I feel that HN tries to dismiss not an experiment and its conclusions (which are indeed falsely true and inexact if argumentation against it is true). It tries to dismiss a phenomenon and fix this forever as in “no, we are not like that”. But what Zimbardo seemed to try to conduct is resembling a typical SU prison-camp. Where all the people inhabitating the entire area were given some rules (both law and “thief law”, perverted and mostly uncontrolled) and began to create a social mess. It wasn’t sadistic or directly harmful, but in these conditions people do smart or dumb moves that lead to big trouble (often referred to as “get into the odd”) to themselves or someone other, thus having a power impossible to have in a regular society, along with all long going implications.

While most SU prisons were not insane hell movie-likes at first sight, it is still a wrong move to state conditions and effects similar to Zimbardo’s as disproven in a wide sense simply because he messed this one up.

Main problem here is that one probably cannot make such an experiment without actually building a prison and hurting people (and that they know their deeds will not be punished). The only reliable sources are 20th century books on civil wars and prison camps, but these are a read too long for HN format, and a common knowledge on that is so vague that isn’t even worth discussing.
Hi, thanks for the reply!

> No integration w CF is absolutely true but you're also totally free to do that.

It just seems then that there is no real way for me as a developer to transfer all the accumulated knowledge I already have about AWS to your framework. Looking through Architect's source, it actually seems as if everything is done via the AWS Javascript SDK, which seems a bit ... odd, to say the least. I'd even venture as far as saying it goes against the AWS Well Architected Framework guidelines (1) (which recommends using CloudFormation).

> No auth support is false. We support session out of the box and you're free to impl any auth scheme of your choosing.

Apologies, I couldn't find any mention in the docs. I meant more in terms of using an AWS service such as Cognito Federated Identities, and in terms of protecting API routes with either AWS_IAM, API keys or Cognito Authorizers.

> CORS could be implemented in the file format....

An Architect project deployment is not exactly repeatable if I still have to go to the Web Console to enable CORS now, is it?

> Magic folders!

I personally would prefer either my project's root `node_modules` or a Webpack bundle be deployed, over which I have some measure of control. Node already has a hard enough time with its resolution algorithms, must we add to the madness?

> Serverless framework is an abstraction that is easily as verbose as CF

I can't agree with you on Serverless being as verbose as CloudFormation, and I think you should know better as someone who has dealt with the complexity of setting up API Gateway programatically.

> but I'm not interested in comparing to it because we have different goals.

I think the comparisons are fair - both Architect and Serverless claim to be "Serverless frameworks". I could be in the minority though.

> Serverless is an abstraction between clouds. If mulitcloud is your goal: use Serverless.

I mean... you're not wrong, but that's grossly oversimplifying it. I've personally added support for Serverless AWS projects to allow hooking up Lambdas to Cognito User Pool triggers. That's a pretty solid AWS-only use-case, that likely isn't available on other cloud platforms (or at least, I never implemented it for them).

> SAM is a flavor of CF which is def less verbose but still very vendor specific and …wordy.

Well, isn't Architect vendor-specific as well?

> This isn't a 'pet framework of the month'. I do take mild offense to that.

Apologies for that remark. I'll be honest - I'm not really interested in the story behind the framework, I'm more interested in what it brings to the table. I'm glad your project worked for you and your company, and I wish it the best, but personally I don't see why Architect couldn't have just been a layer of syntax sugar over SAM/Serverless framework. If there was a killer feature that's specific to Architect, I can't see it (unless you count the file format as a feature).

I went strict ketogenic diet(high fat, protein, very low carb, zero sugar) 16 weeks ago.

I’ve dropped 20kg in that time and just last week ran a marathon carrying a 25kg pack in 5 hours 48 minutes with just an 11 week train up.

Zero sugar diet has been a massive positive game changer for me.

You can still have desserts that don’t require sugar!

The only difficulty with it has been the struggle of what/where to eat when traveling.

It now really clicks for me after several years of putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

3 years ago I met a cohort of middle aged male vets from a specific military unit with a work culture where sugar was viewed as poison for the 40 years since this community’s inception.

They all seemed noticeably younger than their actual years.

I’d like to learn if telomere length is shortened by sugar consumption and conversely lengthened by the absence of sugar in your diet.

Facebook like-buttons. Google Analytics. Comments function that stores user data. Server logs.

Can all be documented appropriately or adjusted to not collect unneccessary data, but it is some amount of work. It's kind of embarrassing that the author ran a platform for privacy-friendly stuff though and didn't have some of that down before, especially since in Germany a lot of this is not new ideas with GDPR.

A static archive would also have been very easy to self-host in a privacy-friendly way, but using archive.org is interesting (not sure if a good idea, but interesting)

There's nothing in PostgREST that stops you from limiting control so that even anonymous users can use it safely. I've used PostgREST for user-facing APIs with success, but it requires some knowledge about the postgres access control model.

EDIT: And "Just point Postgrest at your PostreSQL database" is rarely a good idea in my experience, I usually have (versioned) API-schemas containing views, so that I can change my underlying data schema at will without borking the API.
Of course the only reason we use the term "American" is because of the USA! It's a natural term for residents of the USA, and has become ingrained in English by virtue of America being the largest English speaking country for nearly 200 years. Do non-English speakers have a problem with this? In Spanish the term for USA is "Estados Unidos" which isn't problematic at all.
Have you actually tried to read and understand GDPR before getting to this level self-righteousness?

A blog writer wants an easy way of tracking popularity of their posts. Clearly I need a protection from this.
