When you put it in sequence like that it seems like the Starter & Finisher are far removed from each other, but I find the opposite to be true. What these personality types has in common is an appreciation for beauty. The Starter just l

Yes, you can talk to someone. You can talk to me, FWIW. I've been there. Feel free to contact me anytime, email is in my profile.

What about posting to HN like we did today, but with a little more lead time, maybe a week like you suggested?

One of the people who proofread this said: "This is why I get up in the morning and why I by nature have serious issues with finding respect for others who don't create." I find myself agreeing with that yet at the same time I feel a bit li

All blame shall be directed at Vidar ... But yeah, maybe we could optimize the doodle-date-finding-process. Suggestions?

If you're coming I'd like to introduce a "Show & Tell" this time around. The whole meetup is pretty low-key and informal, so don't be afraid to present the projects you are working on right now. Just stand up, tell what you're working o

My understanding was that while the device is certainly powerful enough to power apps, the UI Toolkit is simply not ready yet for normal devs to use. I'd love to developer apps for this.

More beautiful, sure, but better ? I doubt it, my guess is it'll strain your eyes just as much as any other backlit display.

I think becoming a 'sharing' site is clearly on Readability's radar. Got a Readability API key request rejected for being a "sharing" site recently. Smart move.

I don't get your last point though, I think publication date & author are pretty obviously at the top.

Wish I could upvote you twice for rephrasing what has been ruminating in my mind for such a long time. The problem is an economical assymetry: it 'costs' far less to produce content than to consume content so there is no incentive to be sel

So you're basically saying that the solution to our content quality problem is turning it into a popularity contest?

I've seen plenty of attempts to transplant the HN 'spirit' to other verticals (HN Europe comes to mind) but until now the kind of self-discipline that makes HN tick doesn't seem to translate well to more mainstream niches.

My guess is that a "Gentleman's agreement" to only share your best things will only work if you also limit your circle of friends who are bound by the agreement.

Good point, I admit this post was more of a flow of thoughts rather than a carefully crafted post. But guess what? I was prepping another post & it suffered from the same symptoms, will rewrite it a bit. thx

I wasn't meant to be something you sign, but that smells like an idea in its incubation period ... a website where you could go & sign the "Gentleman's agreement". Hmmm ...

Finding good content is a problem for me in the sense that content consumption has become a new form of entertainment. So if you don't entirely dismiss entertainment, then, yes, finding good content I will enjoy and maybe learn something

What did you use as training data?

by c1sc0 15y ago
Without an algorithmic approach like you described, you can either follow very few people and miss out on good stuff, or you can follow lots of people & have trouble filtering out bad content. Somewhat tangentially related: old post wit

Can you elaborate on how this is technically inaccurate? Is there something like a Flesch-Kincaid test for intelligence?

Why did you apply in the first place? Is there a particular reason why you can't just get a tourist visa & cross the border every few months?

I'm impressed! Like many of Apple's latest ads this one is worth studying. Not a single word speken. Just the product front & center. Yet everyone knows what it is about.
