Interestingly, there seems to be a local minimum (or maximum) in your algorithm that I found when searching for myself: Start here: http://www.swimwithoutgetti

Interestingly, there seems to be a local minimum (or maximum) in your algorithm that I found when searching for myself:
Start here:
http://www.swimwithoutgettingwet.com/hnusers/?user=profquail&btn=Search+for+this+HN+User&weight1=0.5&weight2=-0.15 http://www.swimwithoutgettingwet.com/hnusers/?user=profquail...
The next two 'clicks' to the left (towards co-commenting) don't have 'spolsky' in my list:
http://www.swimwithoutgettingwet.com/hnusers/?user=profquail&btn=Search+for+this+HN+User&weight1=0.3&weight2=-0.15 http://www.swimwithoutgettingwet.com/hnusers/?user=profquail...
But one more click to the left, and he reappears in the list:
http://www.swimwithoutgettingwet.com/hnusers/?user=profquail&btn=Search+for+this+HN+User&weight1=0.2&weight2=-0.15 http://www.swimwithoutgettingwet.com/hnusers/?user=profquail...
- riffer 17y agoThis is interesting, thanks for pointing this out. The top result is actually getting filtered out from the displayed results (don't ask). spolsky is going from being the second result, to the first result, to the second result in your examples.
- po 17y agoYou keep mentioning filtering… are you sure we can't ask? I'm curious.
