So the answer "Can a neural network predict if your HN post title will get up votes?" is a clear "no", at least for this tool.

The only one it predicts well...is itself.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"I plan to rewrite Linux in Go - Linus Torvalds" Bad: 0.9999 - Good: 0.0001 Rust is 13x better over Go in this benchmark.

"I plan to rewrite Linux in C# - Linus Torvalds" Bad: 0.1897 - Good: 0.7988 Looks like we have a winner.

the # will be discarded after the tokenization of the title, so the winner really is C, rsrs.

Interesting, tired with: I made cheese sandwiches for a week, here's what happened And got: Bad: 0.0001 - Good: 0.9999 Not sure what to make of that.

VC licked my balls, here's what happened Bad: 1.0000 - Good: 0.0000

Insert "for a week" to get "Bad: 0.0016 - Good: 0.9986"
