I remember reading that and wondering how many people follow it. Today, after watching yet another of my more technical submissions sink without trace, I start to wonder whether I should game the system in the ways he suggests. After all, it would demonstrate and make use of the knowledge I've gained from being here here a while, and perhaps it would give my submissions a fighting chance among yet another submission telling us China has a new supercomputer.
- dman 16y agoI think we desperately need something like subreddits so that people can self organize into groups where they create and consume information to their liking.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoI'm working on something. PG hasn't yet responded to a question, so I'm reluctant to do too much work or say too much about it before then.
- dman 16y agoAwesome! If youre working in python by any chance I could write some code for it too.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoI'll return to these comments and come back to you if anything comes of it. ADDED IN EDIT: I've now associatively filed your email address as well.
- steveklabnik 16y agoI've had a few random thoughts in and around this area, so if you ever want to talk about this, get in touch... I even had a fully working prototype that I ended up losing somewhere...

- JoachimSchipper 16y agoThere's a reason your contest (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1394751 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1394751) did so well (I'd like to see some more analysis, too, nudge nudge...) I'm not entirely certain what to think of this, either.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoThe "contest" is on my to-do list, from which things are slowly getting excised. The "Spikey Spheres" article was one, the 1800 dimensional optimisation is the next.
