From the title I thought it would be a Convolutional Neural Network for text, not the Cable News Network in plain text. An example to show that text CNN's are a thing: https://github.com/dennybritz/cnn-text-classification-tf

I feel your pain, I thought it was either a Convolution or a Cellular neural network, was very disappointed. But thanks for pointing to some actual good material to read and look over.

To add to your trend, here is an article [1] about "Texture Classification and Segmentation by Cellular Neural Networks Using Genetic Learning" , texture not text though as they are more vision related, though it would be interesting to see by what methods they could be applied to text.

I love it.

The only improvement I could ask for is about 100 bytes of CSS to limit the column width, change it to a serifed font, and increase the font size.

My laptop can run computationally-intensive physics simulations and play streaming hi-def video with no problem, but if I click a link to a mainstream news article it just about keels over and dies. How did our grandparents ever manage to load the news on an underpowered machine called "paper"?

100% agree; text-based sites are the worst for this, due to all the tracking they do in JavaScript.

I've been using Brave for a while now, on both laptop and Android.

Any time I try to load pretty much any website in Chrome on Android or SeaMonkey on laptop, it's just so painfully slow compared to Brave!

The Keras blog also has a good post on using CNNs to label text from newsgroups with their respective newsgroups: https://blog.keras.io/using-pre-trained-word-embeddings-in-a...

It achieves 95% accuracy without many tricks, but the newsgroups themselves are quite different so it's not the hardest problem.

When Google first came out and we tried it there were two things we liked about it. The first: Good search results. Yeah everyone knows that right. But young people today might have forgotten the second reason we liked Google search back then: The Second: A clean page with a single logo and search field. It loaded quick. There were no banners everywhere, no bs. HackerNews has that feel. It is clean, information dense…

I couldn't find a better image but I remember this used to be the big argument why people liked Google's design over yahoo:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It works like a gas; the performance-sapping computations on the articles expand until they fill up all available human latency tolerance.

That and the abomination of the technology stack that we use for said process. HTML/CSS/JS is absolutely not the answer for "I want to make a UI", never mind the fact that many UI designers have no clue how the stack works and abuse it horribly. The idea may be "paper", but what's actually being done is far from it. The browser may paint and repaint a pixel a dozen times before it's ever rendered. DOM-traversal is on…

React and similar libraries were made to alleviate exactly this problem.

If only CNN would go back to being the old but trusted, amazing CNN, with Christiane Amanpour at the landing in Mogadishu during Restore Hope, or Bernie Shaw at the hotel in Baghdad for Desert Storm. Now, a shell of its old self, CNN is just MSNBC's cousin, with people who say "we, ahem, I mean, the Democrats, are losing Michigan" live on screen. Oh well. It's been years since I relied on CNN. But on the technical fr…

its been ages I have watched any news from a narrated source. My advice (more so after last election) pay money for news. free is way worse!
