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.

and this https://hnrss.github.io/
ps i’m ok with some % of false positives, but hopefully a sprinkle of OpenAI could keep that magically low?
thanks

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?

The Old Reader
Fraidycat looks good, though it's more like a client than a self-hosted service. I especially like that it can follow / aggregate a bunch of different types of sources. https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat

RSS-Bridge – The RSS feed for websites missing it
Wonder what's are the differences from https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub and https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat
I guess projects might have different goals in mind, but IMO would be nice to share the scrapers among the projects

A 4 minute introduction to RSS
If you're interested in furthering RSS (and Atom, JSON Feed) - one way to help this along is to continue extending it to bring it modern. For instance, I've documented an extension for adding temporary 'status' to the feed - useful for pinned posts or broadcasting that a livestream is beginning.
https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/wiki/RSS-Atom-Exten...
It feels like there is still a lot of room to extend these formats - part of the advantage to them is how easily they can be extended. The media enclosure extension is the reason they've been so useful for podcast subscriptions.
