Show HN: TechYaks – Best of 50k tech talks ranked by confidence intervals
Hey HN, here’s the result of gathering as many tech talks as I could find and then trying a bunch of ranking heuristics to find one that produced reasonable results.  I’m currently using the lower bound of each talk’s Wilson score confidence interval based on likes and dislikes.I find good tech talks to be a combo of entertainment and broadening my toolbox of programming concepts.  When I hit good talk I generally do a double take, “wha, I have not thought that way before.”  There are definitely some good talks in this list.There are a few great “Awesome Talks” lists that I’ve enjoyed perusing, but I’ve found that talk title intrigue does not seem to correlate with talk quality.  So in lists of 50+ talks I have a hard time finding the “next best talk”.I’m keen to get feedback on the site as is but also if there is interest in a “top tech talks” in the last month (or X unit of time) style of digest.Hopefully there is a talk in here that gives you a double take.Enjoy,
