A List of Recommender Systems and Resources
What&#x27;s HNs best sociological guess for why recommendation systems are still pretty crappy? It can&#x27;t be that it&#x27;s technically or mathematically too challenging to figure out. There are too many smart people out there for this not to be cracked and then immediately spread to everyone. I feel like there&#x27;s a Peter Thiel-esque explanation to it. Something about a lack of diversity of thought and&#x2F;or the lack of an incentive to encourage first-principles inventions in software engineering (or a lack of investments into long-term innovations which benefit everyone).
