There's a ban on *.org? Yikes.
- pvg 6y agoThe full list is at http://hn.luap.info/about http://hn.luap.info/about It's definitely idiosyncratic, as one would expect. A more interesting question is 'does it produce interesting results'. To my eyes and tastes, not really. The filter easily misses piles of the sort of 'news' it is trying to avoid and the quality of the rest of what passes doesn't appear to be any better (to put it mildly) than the HN front page. Mercilessly culling even slightly frequent submitters (this includes people who, say, mis-posted something and then quickly made another post to correct the problem) is a pretty fun idea though, I wonder what you'd end up if you applied this iteratively over a long period of time.
- DanBC 6y agoI'd be interested in a filter that removed domains that have been posted more than X times.
- kick 6y agoHN's lack of subdomain- & tilde-checking would make this work strange, I think.
- kick 6y agoBanning (2005-2019) is a strange decision as well. Wow!
- polote 6y agoHello, this is very good feedback, I don't try to compete with HN front page My goal is more to 'compete with' /newest in the sense that I don't think it is easily possible to get the best content publish directly out of an algorithm. If you have some ideas I would be interested to test them Maybe as you said it doesn't produce interesting results, but I have the motivation to go through the full list every night and I always found some interesting content, whereas I never had the motivation to go through several pages of /newest
- pvg 6y agoMy goal is more to 'compete with' /newest Oh! That makes an awful lot of sense, thanks. I wonder if you'd have got less confused feedback if you'd described it like that initially, I think a lot of the commentators (including me) somewhat misunderstood what you're trying to do.
