jmstfv | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: Software eng, but not a web dev. Learn new frameworks to build MVP?

If you are just building an MVP, you'd want to spend very little time on actually building the product. Here are some choices:

* Discourse forum: https://www.discourse.org/

* Slack channel

* Google Docs spreadsheet

Is there a hosted version of Gitea? Would it be possible to host it and offer unlimited repos for let's say $5/mo as a service?

Have you seen Metacademy? Here is a "tech-tree" for recurrent neural networks [0]. In the top-left corner you can switch between "graph" and "list" mode. Unfortunately, site hasn't been updated for some time. However, they have open sourced their code and I was thinking maybe we (volunteers) could pick up where they left off and continue this initiative. Previous discussion [2].

Edit: added previous discussion to the list.

jmstfv | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where to get reliable information on nutrition/health?

Thanks for the reply! What is your take on foundmyfitness.com and Dr. Rhonda Patrick in general?

jmstfv | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where to get reliable information on nutrition/health?

Thanks for the links! Reading from a source and weeding out "low-quality stuff" is a valuable skill to have. Not so long ago a study on telomere length was lambasted by HN community for having low sample size [0]

How do you choose which papers to follow? Any rules of thumb/red flags for assessing a paper?

Would you mind sharing your opinion on index funds (VTSAX, VOO, etc) and corporate bonds?

Have you ever considered mining cryptocurrencies?

jmstfv | 8 years ago | on: Show HN: Kooba, an interactive graph for finding new books

Out of curiosity, which books?

jmstfv | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you beat depression or total burnout state?

Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains how inflammation and depression are related. Might find these videos useful: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rhonda+patrick+...

jmstfv | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Favorite HN comment(s)

How do you fetch comment scores?

jmstfv | 8 years ago | on: If you bought $100 of Bitcoin 7 years ago, you'd be sitting on $75M now

What about Ether? Does it makes sense to buy now and hold it, at $170+ ? Price is at all time high and most people on the web seem to be optimistic about its future (post-purchase rationalization?)

jmstfv | 8 years ago | on: Frighteningly Ambitious Startup Ideas (2012)

Out of curiosity, how viable is a search engine for hackers (in terms of a business model)? What are some "weaknesses" of Google that this search engine might take advantage of? One thing I noticed is the amount of "low-quality" pages that appear on the page#1 for popular keywords.

3Blue1Brown's videos are of a great quality. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw

jmstfv | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you use Machine Learning for?

I found spacy's documentation lacking in details on how to train NER from scratch (at least I couldn't make sense of it). That's why I decided to stick with Stanford's NER.

Regarding disambiguation: People usually mention books with their respective authors, so it takes one query against the local database to check whether entity is indeed a particular book by a particular author. When no author is mentioned, I check parent comment (if any) to find if the given book is mentioned there. Well, and if comment turns out to be standalone then I query Goodreads / Google Books API. Given books with identical titles, these APIs return the most popular option.

jmstfv | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you use Machine Learning for?

I use Stanford NER to extract book titles and authors from HN comments. Previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14202557

jmstfv | 9 years ago | on: Interactive Mind Map for learning

By the way, while researching about Metacademy I have stumbled upon their developer group[0] where they were discussing challenges they were facing, thought you may find it useful. Good luck! [0] https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/metacademy-dev

jmstfv | 9 years ago | on: Interactive Mind Map for learning

But how do you choose which resources (books, articles, courses..) to include? Is it performed algorithmically or by hand? I was working on the similar project (dependency trees for concepts) and the biggest roadblock I faced was the addition of new resources, since it is laborious, doesn't scale well and is pretty subjective.

_6cj7 | 9 years ago | on: Interactive Mind Map for learning

This looks similar to https://metacademy.org. I am curious how these maps are built and how resources are being selected (methodology-wise)?

How did you assemble database of these books?
