I’m a researcher and I also think reddit and upvotes/karma is trash.
Why should I use your service?
- mirajshah 9y agoYou probably shouldn't use the service, simple as that.
- zild3d 9y agoDo you think HN is trash or that upvotes are a bad system for this site? Seems like the simplest way to have a community self-filter content
- softawre 9y agoReddit/HN are popularity contests. My guess is GP would prefer something more like RottonTomatoes, curated by "experts".
- azhenley 9y agoThat is an interesting idea. I would worry that it would have the "cliquey" problem that another commenter mentioned. I do like the idea of having a public forum to comment on work, regardless of where it is published.
- fundamental 9y agoIf you add comments, then you get to the problem of maintaining comment quality which will likely lead to some form of moderation. IMO that leads back to the "cliquey" issue just on another level.
- mattkrause 9y agoThere’s Faculty of 1000 for this, though my impression is that it has gotten less active and opinionated lately.
- elzar 9y agoThis is how ML research works these days, right? You cherry-pick results and polish them to look super flashy so everyone hears about your work over Twitter, Facebook, and r/MachineLearning cause that's how everyone learns about new papers these days.
- danielecook 9y agoWhy do you use this service? My dream for the site would be that the most value would come from the comments section where people could ask questions, discuss ideas, expand on the background of papers, or debate whether the results justify the conclusions. I'm also hopeful that much like HN, the site wouldn't track the newest and shiniest thing but also would highlight older work that is worth revisiting.
