I can share a little data. Yesterday we got 7157 uniques for this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1627619 It has 76 votes, so that's pretty close to the 10 HN votes -> 1k uniques rule of thumb Of those 7157, 602 clicked on at le

We represent clusters as a type of node. So if your other nodes have coordinates in a space, there will be distances between your clusters. Or they can be part of a graph traversal, etc.

Yes, this really works. Sort of the way some teams seem to keep a set of blog posts on the shelf, ready to go, we have a list of small tangential projects. These are all three-days-to-a-week type things where we are already pretty familiar

That's a good explanation of what your startup is, and I wish you the best of luck, but you did not answer his question.

Yeah, this is an interesting case. It's all coming from 'defacing', your comment is actually the only one in this corpus of 25k comments that uses that term; probably not a coincidence. Taking a deeper look now, thanks for your help.

"hacker" and also "exception" scores really well There aren't any words like "war" or "contrary" that are far way from the seed, and would indicate that some non-technical meaning should be inferred for "exception" On the "100" ... that is

Nice catch. We generally keep the set of words case-sensitive because that can be helpful for disambiguation in broader corpuses ("Python" is often something different than "python"), and also because POS taggers tend to have trouble identi

Good point, in the case of Erlang it wasn't a picking favorites thing, so much as for whatever reason Erlang was not particularly well represented in the corpus of 25k comments that we grabbed from the site.

Funny that you should try gaming it. This week we're using the platform to do blog comment spam filtering. Is the comment off-topic (or just not on-topic) for the post? Edit: To clarify, I was just saying that we have spent a lot of time t

TLDR version: We took a corpus of 25k comments from HN, analyzed them to infer semantic similarity. Next we came up with a seed of 18 words out of the 40k words in our corpus, scored the corpus of 40k words based on similarity with those 1

Gold doesn't do anything Gold is a store of value. Stores of value provide a useful function in society. Very few things actually qualify as stores of value, and gold is the most known of them so I used that, but you could replace the str

Sort of. There's a real tendency to look at these CPI prints and say that inflation is low, but that is only one aspect of inflation. Aggregate price inflation has been low over the past several years. A big part of that is that energy pric
