It's always fun to remember how rude people were about Dropbox on here. More seriously though, in many ways HN is a pretty broad church. You're always going to get a spectrum of opinions, and some portion of people are always going to be particularly forceful about putting forth their opinion. Maybe it's a bad day, maybe it's habit, varies from person to person and day to day, etc. But I think, if you're posting some…

We are way past that point now. It's a common tendency around here, especially taking into account how often those type of posts are actually the ones on the top. Gladly we still have people like your parent to call them out immediately.

Yeah, but eventually the downvoting/community moderation will do its work: it just takes a few hours sometimes. But the original unkind remark has gone from top level comment to nowhere near the top of the discussion (at least I haven't managed to find it other than via my own profile because of all the newer and more upvoted discussion that's happened) fairly quickly.

I think it'd be interesting to hear what you think the goal of the site is. Is it just rehosting the list, plus a reformatted copy of the papers? I was hoping you'd have at least annotated them with what you'd learned?

Hey thanks for checking out the website. I did not expect this to get as much attention as it did. I was honestly just planning on having it as a small side project for my friends and some others who would like to get into this kind of stuff. I will definitely annotate them in the future if that is something that people would appreciate. I currently have something like this done for a few papers on my X account.

Yes, I expected annotations, so please add. I know you named the site 30 papers, but I don't think anyone will hold you to it if you add more papers to it as you read and annotate more, or allow others to do so.

No need stupid moving texts. CS231n: Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition - https://cs231n.github.io/ The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks - https://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/ Understanding LSTM Networks - https://colah.github.io/posts/2015-08-Understanding-LSTMs/ ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks - https://papers.nips.cc/paper…

Upvoted. Did you compile that list just now, pulled it from bookmarks, or other source?

In their github, they have json mapping. And I used some simple javascript.

``` console.log( Object.values(jsonObj) .map(v => `${v.title} - ${v.sourceUrl}`) .join('\n\n') ); ```

> negative feedback - and dismissive feedback - is something you need to be prepared OK. Let's RFM: first line = "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes." So, no, it's not HN-OK for rude & unfounded feedback to make it to the top comment. Even if the website is "bad" (i.e. those 30 papers were never linked to Ilya etc.), the proper way of handling this is to call it out in…

fwiw for all the praise that dang & co get, they moderated this website into this state. there is a "blessed" way to break the rules and be a total asshole to people here, and there is the "other" way, that they punish relentlessly. we all have bad days, but HN's comments are just an exhausting cesspool of cynicism and cheap takes for the most part these days.

dang does not scale. It’s on us to make this place how we want it to be. Every comment matters

Author here. First year CS student at Trinity College Dublin. I Built this because when I was getting into reading research papers I ended up burning a ton of my Claude usage asking questions other people have probably already asked. The website is just a side project and definitely a WIP. Happy to answer questions or take PRs on GitHub.

What is the easily accessible part? Just that they are on one website? At first I thought there would be more explanation or other addons.

There are summaries for each paper on the landing page. Also as you read the papers, key/difficult words are highlighted and you can click on them to get a simple definition quickly. A few people have asked for write ups on what my takeaways from each paper were so I am currently working on that.

If there are any suggestions that anyone has for things that would help them with the papers I will definitely add them. My main goal is to make this as easy as possible for people to use

Someone posts on X, "These are Ilya’s 30 papers", gives no source, doesn't say where he got it from, and isn't connected to either Ilya or Carmack (Ilya gave him the list). Then someone vibe codes a barely usable website based on that, and it lands on the HN front page? Is this correct?

There's a reason for the word "eternal" in "Eternal September".

> some portion of people are always going to be particularly forceful about putting forth their opinion. Maybe it's a bad day, maybe it's habit, varies from person to person and day to day, etc. I have no problem that someone had a bad reaction to this and needs to vent, I have a problem that the community deems it the most noteworthy comment and keeps it voted to the very top of the thread.

The criticisms are valid, though: no source, no connection to the source.

You would think a university student would understand the importance of citing sources.

First year CS student excited to learn about a thing puts together a small website of academic papers, posts it to HN to share with others. Then someone makes a shitty comment. Is that correct?

> First year CS student

...who somehow hasn't yet learned the importance of citing sources?

Any and all criticism is deserved.
