Where does the "bio" field come from? Mine says "Developer and writer" and I suppose those are both things that I am, but not very close to what I'd have put there.
- serviceberry 2y agoI'm guessing it's annotated by an LLM. Would be a lot of thankless work otherwise, so don't really blame the author, but it means you get the occasional nonsense summary. Edit: yeah, the "methodology" page confirms this.
- KomoD 2y ago> Would be a lot of thankless work otherwise So just don't include them, rather no info than completely incorrect LLM hallucinations
- mtlynch 2y agoAuthor here. They're about 95% accurate, so not completely incorrect. I think the value of the correct ones is higher than the few incorrect ones. I manually review and fix them, but for just a fun tool, it's not practical to write 5000 eight-word bios.
- KomoD 2y agoCompletely incorrect as in an entry being completely incorrect, not all the entries.
- mtlynch 2y agoI started by writing them by hand, but it was taking forever to read enough of each author's blog to write a summary and topic list, so I used an LLM and then spot-checked. I just updated yours, but let me know if you'd like something different. https://github.com/mtlynch/hn-popularity-contest-data/pull/20 https://github.com/mtlynch/hn-popularity-contest-data/pull/2...
