bryanhpchiang··on Show HN: Saver (Chrome extension) – save LinkedIn profiles/arXiv papers online
Just spent a few hours building a Chrome extension that lets you save stuff online (LinkedIn profiles, arXiv papers) into a spreadsheet (Airtable). Thought it might be useful for others so wanted to share it here.

Prob gonna publish on Chrome store, lmk what you think -- thanks!

bryanhpchiang··on Show HN: Posce, a note-taking toolkit for your command-line
I don't see what the point of this is. Every single command can be mapped to an existing Unix tool.

That's exactly what the headline says.
bryanhpchiang··on Show HN: I made a small tool to download photos and videos from social media
Is there an API? How are you dealing with rate-limiting?
bryanhpchiang··on Standardizing OpenAI’s deep learning framework on PyTorch
OpenAI is a fundamentally a research laboratory - their top priority is pushing the envelope on machine learning research and releasing their progress responsibly. Anything that reduces experimentation and research speed should be avoided, thus the switch to PyTorch makes sense.

As long as as OpenAI is open sourcing their work, there will always be others that will port it over to other frameworks.

bryanhpchiang··on What’s wrong with computational notebooks?
I interned @ Google AI last summer; used notebooks nearly everyday. Estimated productivity gain is 3-5x.

Biggest tip I have is to turn auto reload on, then write the bulk of your code as modular functions and call functions within your notebooks. Keeps the notebook tidy and it’s easier to push your code this way.

It’s also easier for sharing since most people viewing your notebooks (mentors, people outside your team) are interested in results/artifacts such as metrics, generated text, images, audio, which notebooks display well (not your code).
