Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: When were flagged submissions/comments added to the profile page?
Since lots of people are accidentally flagging on mobile and I'm currently revisiting my Hacker News extension and adding a Safari version, I'm adding something which will let you choose your preferred solution for this (hide the flag control or require a confirm):

The UI of Hacker News Is Perfect
Definitely not perfect. The default "collapse comment" buttons being right-aligned is pure insanity, IMO. They should be left-aligned so they're all in line with each other as you scroll down the page, so you barely have to move your mouse.
Fortunately this extension[1] takes care of that.

Also, proper hyperlink support in comments would be appreciated.

Ask HN: How do you use HN?
>Do you use browser plugins or user scripts?
https://github.com/insin/hn-comments-owl
I've also been writing a Godot app for HN off an on for a while now. It isn't ready for prime time but here's what it looks like[0].
>Also, what are your habits around HN?
I tend to lurk the new comments page. I check this site constantly, and use it as a distraction from more worthwhile projects. It's pathetic, this place is basically intellectual junk food.

https://github.com/insin/hn-comments-owl does exactly that. Makes following threads so much better.

Ask HN: How do you track comment threads in HN?
I use a plugin that shows new comment counts since my last visit and that highlights new comments[0].
HN is beta testing a similar feature. I'd encourage them to add the new comment count as well if they haven't.

Ask HN: Have you reduced technical knowledge contributions?
That’s interesting.
I have predictive models that can predict if a headline (w/o the rest of the article and not considering the URL) will (a) get more than 10 votes and (b) if it does get more than 10 votes will the votes/comments ratio be more than 2 (which is roughly average)
The first model gets a ROC-AUC (see https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.me...) in the low 60’s (not good, the second model gets in the low 70’s (actually pretty good though it is a heat seeking missile for clickbait headlines) and my latest content-based recommender for RSS items gets almost 80. (I saw a paper that one system at TikTok gets about 85)
To do all that you need about 10,000 headlines and don’t get a lot of benefit from having more than 100,000. The ceilings on performance have more to do with the nature of the problem rather than my models: the same article can get submitted twice and get 0 votes one time and 200 the other time so it can never be as accurate as “is this an article about galactic astronomy?”
I had it ingest the HN comments firehose and found the amount of articles was overwhelming, my YOShInOn RSS reader now ingests the “best comments” from
https://hnrss.github.io/
together with 110 other feeds and actually I like the comments it picks out a lot. Now that the system is adding about 3000 items per day it might be able to handle a big feed like the comments firehose since now those comments are diluted with so many quality articles. For a problem like that you might want a two-score system with: (i) is it relevant? (something I like) and (ii) is it popular? (like Google’s PageRank)
I think you could make a model that compares comments in the best comments feed with other comments. I have tried formulating the problems above as regression problems where I try to predict the actual score and it does not work well because of the uncertainty problem but formulated as a classification problem for a score over a threshold it is easy to make a well-calibrated model that tells you “this article has a 20% chance of frontpaging” which is about the best anyone can do.

Ask HN: How can I get rid of addiction to HN?
Subscribe via rss, so you can scratch the curiosity itch and each the FOMO, without coming to the site all the time and looking over the same things 20 times?

ps i’m ok with some % of false positives, but hopefully a sprinkle of OpenAI could keep that magically low?

RSS can be used to distribute all sorts of information
It sounds interesting but I use https://hnrss.github.io/
Unless it had most of the features of hnrss.org I would not be able to use it.
Perhaps you could pivot your approach and submit a PR to hnrss for the feature?

Looks like there's an unmerged PR on the third-party hnrss project that would add this: https://github.com/hnrss/hnrss/pull/84
