What is the percentage attrition? 2%? I wasn't able to get it clearly from the article. I think percentage is what we should focusing on instead of the total numbers considering the total population.

Nice. Sounds like quite interesting conversations.

only 200M? Am I the only one think it is a small budget for supercomputing?

Thanks for all the great advices and comments here.

Every job has its ups and downs. Though I agree that if you constantly feel down time, that probably the time you take a break.

What I find hard is that no single method works for me for a very long time. (Probably because it can trigger the bad memory? ) So I need to find a new approach when I find the old one does not work any more.

Thanks for offering. This is very kind. Just anger for me. If I am in that much trouble, definitely will seek for help.

this somehow made me laugh so hard. made my day~

laugh, and then cry

Thank god. They don't want my HN account.

Especially our HN accounts where we say the NSA/TSA/FBI are threats to our safety (depending on context) and we use false names with burner phone-based authentication on Facebook. Honest question, I still wonder what is so bad that I'm now using the same protections as criminals, apart from hiding that I don't want to be tracked.

we (me and another guy) used that as the project/essay topic for a AI graduate class. We evaluated that using google n-gram are outperformed standard grammar checker/suggestion, especially with sentences & long phases (although i can't recall how solid the evaluation went. how large is our testing data set. After all, this is all done in a semester class). And developed a plugin in open-office for that.

Many years passed. This kind reminded me of that. Not sure if there is something similar now in the market? If not, i think I can try to dig out what left in the project. God, i love those simple times.

Edit: just recalled that we were inspired by some paper about taking advantage of n-gram at the time. and I just found this half yr ago post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12752671

Google docs has a rather powerful context aware grammar checker and grammerly was on the front page today

the paper is co-authored by adobe folks

This is neat. Finally found a company doing this.
