spideyunlimited··on Why is a browser extension required to access research papers?
This is correct! :) Also, the extension's source code is not obfuscated so it's possible to download, extract, and go through the readable code. If anyone's keen, just Google or Bing search to see how to do so (or lmk!). We haven't officially open-sourced as of now as the code still needs cleaning up, refactoring, etc :)
spideyunlimited··on Why is a browser extension required to access research papers?
Hi, co-author of CatalyzeX/the extension here! Most of the comments here seem to have been addressed, just re-iterating the following:

- The extension lets you easily jump to the code for papers (the papers are all open-access on the web) - The extension code is not obfuscated so it's easy to check out the underlying code for yourself (just search online for how to view extension source code). We just haven't officially open-sourced it as of now as it still needs a fair bit of cleaning up and optimizing - What we're using the browser permissions for is to add code buttons in-line on the webpage(s) you're on. Permissions offered by Chromium browsers are unfortunately not more granular than what we're using to simply update the DOM.

Feedback is always welcome!

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Nipun

Lmk if you run into any issues with the firefox add-on as it's newer, but fwiw tested it and it works well!

Glad you like it! I'm one of the folks building CatalyzeX. Let me know if you have any requests or issues anytime.

This I hope is one meaningful step in the right direction :)

For sure! The easier it is to go from ideas/theoretical papers to tangible code that one can play and build with, the more and faster we'll see interesting breakthroughs in industry as well as other fields of research (medicine, robotics, space) imho.

Hi, I'm one of the creators of this extension. This chrome/firefox extension automatically finds and links code for ML papers anywhere on the web (Google, Arxiv, Twitter, Scholar, and more). The general hope is to start bridging the gap between academia/research and builders & makers with code.

Open to all feedback and requests here, and would love to hear from you, cheers!

spideyunlimited··on Background Matting: The World is Your Green Screen
Hi, I'm one of the folks building CatalyzeX (https://www.catalyzex.com). It's intended primarily as a free resource for machine learning practitioners (research engineers, developers, students, and generally anyone interested in R&D) to discover interesting ML projects and papers, easily access the code and datasets, and communicate with the authors or other experts.

The link share here was likely with keeping the relevance of this project to HN in mind, and that easy access to the code and authors would be valuable for anyone here looking to take it further.

Thanks for clarifying the convention here on HN, being transparent, and for updating accordingly. Much appreciated.

Always open to feedback if you have any as well! :)

Fair point.

However, Zimmerman disobeyed instructions when he was told to not follow the kid, went after him, and confronted him. Standing his ground?

spideyunlimited··on It's Gibberish, But Italian Pop Song Still Means Something
The trilled 'r' sound at 0:29 is definitely not American English. Native English speakers from America can hardly pull that off, which is why it's funny to hear them try speaking spanish.

spideyunlimited··on Poll: Do you select text while reading?
When I'm reading something really intense, it helps me focus -both visually and mentally, on say two or three paragraphs at a time, before moving on.
spideyunlimited··on Show HN: A better typing tutor, based upon the OK Plateau Effect
Sometimes, if you mistype a word or forget a space, it incorrectly matches the word you're typing to the word on screen. Took me a while to figure that out and go back a few words to retype them.
