Re:My approach to running a link blog on Monday January 06, 2025 @04:52AM (#42609167)
Please share other technical setups for keeping a link blog.

Static Site Generators seem like a perfect fit.

I am interested in this. Can you point to a reference about the application of LLMs to sequence secreening? Thanks.

Hope this is an "in progress" article.

Not a single resource or pointer mentioning "ethics"?

Re:Djot, a light markup syntax from John MacFarlane on Wednesday November 30, 2022 @04:10AM (#33798514)
"Djot is a light markup syntax. It derives most of its features from commonmark, but it fixes a few things that make commonmark's syntax complex and difficult to parse efficiently."
Re:Ask HN: Books about full text search on Thursday November 24, 2022 @02:40PM (#33735394)
Three reference textbooks are available openly:

* Introduction to Information Retrieval, https://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/

* Information Retrieval in Practice, https://ciir.cs.umass.edu/irbook/

* Entity-Oriented Search, https://eos-book.org/

Modern Information Retrieval is also a classic reference. Not openly available but some contents are (were?) available online. Their site seems to be down but the Internet Archive has a copy.

Very interesting post.

Where can we find posts like these — e.g. architectural and technological analysis and decisions in real word contexts?

Downvoted due to the "clickbait style" headline. You can rewrite it when posting to Hacker News.

Re:Apple is building a Google search alternative for iPhones on Wednesday October 28, 2020 @08:08AM (#24917792)
"When iPhone users with iOS 14, the latest iPhone software, type a query into the search window, Apple now shows its own search results instead of Google’s. It also displays auto-complete style suggestions, highlighting how it is learning from users most common search queries. However, few are likely to have noticed the change."
Re:Forget Google, time to end the Visa-MasterCard duopoly on Tuesday June 30, 2020 @05:08AM (#23688165)
I don't understand Hacker News. Tim Bray's post on Break Up Google was buried and not visible on HN's front page. The next day this on Visa-MasterCard post shows up on the top with a "forget Google" comment. Why?

Is this a result from the community or the algorithm?

HN seems to have changed a lot in the last few years.

"[Tokyo Shimbun, a metropolitan daily,] also said people shouldn't make the V-sign with their hand, which Japanese often do in photos, because fingerprints could be stolen."
