I must admit I rolled my eyes when I read "ML algorithm" since it's usually marketing bullshit. Seemingly it's unsupervised knn w/ Scikit Learn, mixing variables like "open to video calls", "location", "openness to ideas" and "timezone".
Fairly neat.
- tr1ll10nb1ll 4y agoIt indeed is. I'll try to find someone better at ML than me over time but I think this approach should serve well at least for the first 1k users or so if I'm not wrong.
- swyx 4y agomaybe just say “similarity” rather than “ml algorithm” since that is what you are doing
- tr1ll10nb1ll 4y agoFrom the POV of a marketing copy, I don't think that sticks. I could possibly change it on the Github, however. Or, elaborate on what is meant by an ML algorithm in the context of DevClad.

- tr1ll10nb1ll 4y agoFair point.
- me551ah 4y agoIsn't "unsupervised knn w/ Scikit Learn" ML? Yes it's unsupervised and not a lot of effort was put into it, but it is still ML.
- saurik 4y agoThe usage of "usually" in the comment you are replying to is often paired with a "but/except" that I feel is implied here, and so they actually agree with you.
- shultays 4y agoWhat if it used an AI to match you instead? We can even run that AI on blockchain!
- throw1234651234 4y agoI literally can't even, trigger warning! I hope you are using that blockchain on an ethically sourced quantum computer using ethically raised qubits.
