Interesting. After the obligatory vanity search I tried searching for people I know have different (more technical, less startup/strategy(marketing) taste than me. And it seems to work quite well. I have nothing in common with those guys :-)
For instance the top pick for tptacek is cperciva, which seems natural. Doesn't work the other way around though, so there's still some work to be done...
- riffer 17y agoThanks for the feedback, you bring up a very interesting point: reciprocity. If I am closer to you than anyone else, does it follow that you are closer to me than anybody else? I'm not sure the right answer to that is yes ...
- sparky 17y agoDefinitely not in the general case of points in n-dimensional Cartesian space. For instance, in the 1-d case, consider points at 0, 10, and 12. 10 is the closest point to 0, but not vice-versa. Put another way, it seems as though the algorithm considers tptacek more distinct (from all other HN users) than cperciva.
- mixmax 17y agowhich is in tune with tptacek being no. 3 on the leaderboard and cperciva being no.34.
- Xichekolas 17y agoI was wondering the same thing. I don't show up in the lists of any of the people that show up in my list. I take it that means I am the cheese.
