Why is this low effort post so high? There have been lots of interesting articles, visualizations and tutorials on Kalman Filters posted on here over the years. This guy just posts a Wikipedia link with no comments and you all think it is great?
Let me try:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun
Whoa, the sun apparently is a star!
- PaulHoule 6y agoIf you like building machines that function as animals, this is a basic technique. It is how my digital twin tracks my state. I was thinking about my fitness band at the gym and like yeah it uses... A Kalman Filter? I load HN and there it is.
- np_tedious 6y agoArguably the sun is also a compiler
- srean 6y agoI sense some bitterness in the comment. What makes or doesn't make the front page depends on a lot of things and it will not be the same every time. It will, for example, depend on other competing stories. There is a steady influx of new members. So stories that are old hat may not be so for a large section of HN visitors. Yes, this was a Wikipedia link and Kalman filters has been discussed here many times, that said I found the discussion and commentary quite delightful.
