#112"Can a neural network predict if your HN post title will get up votes?" Bad: 0.9917 - Good: 0.0076 I'm sorry guys!
But:
"Show HN: Can a neural network predict if your HN post title will get up votes?"
Bad: 0.0598 - Good: 0.9307
Just in case, I've tested some more titles to make sure that "Show HN" doesn't (EDIT: typo, ugh) just boost any title when prepended.

#113> I also cannot validated the neural network prediction, cause in order for me to do that, I would have to write a content, come up with a title and then post it choosing words that triggers a good value on the neural network and post that history on a Friday noon, to see if my story succeed.
This seems very doable.

#116"Can a neural network predict how many up votes your HN post will have?" or "Can an optimizer find a parametrization of a nonlinear manifold corresponding to tech zeitgeist?"
If it can't, then it's just playing along

#117I noticed timing plays an inportant role in upvotes on HN as well as whether there are other interesting submissions within the same window.
Absolutely. Odds increase after around 10:30/11am NY time since you get the attention of both coasts for the US audience.

#119It's basically a buzzword detector. "this is just a tool for detecting buzzwords" => Bad: 0.9991 - Good: 0.0011 "this is merely a device for detecting artificially sophisticated words" => Bad: 0.0019 - Good: 0.9980
That is how it works here, you collect upvotes if you use fancy words. That's why everybody uses the word "orthogonal" here all the time. Have you ever seen that word anywhere else?
i'm orthogonally inclined to disagree, but mainly because i'm sitting on a chair
