Hacker News for Hackers
That&#x27;s an interesting project. I&#x27;ve been exploring this from a different angle, in the form of generated email newsletters (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.findlectures.com&#x2F;form?type=alert" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.findlectures.com&#x2F;form?type=alert</a>). This uses the contents of the articles as well - I&#x27;m crawling links on programming subreddits.<p>If you start from keywords you can use NLP (Word2vec) to measure how close articles are to your interests, so for instance &quot;python, machine learning&quot; gives you stuff on tensorflow, scikit learn, etc whereas &quot;java, machine learning&quot; gives you articles on spark, Deeplearning4j.<p>You can also measure how similar articles are to each other - getting the most dis-similar articles avoids the &quot;piling on&quot; problem mentions.
