What about a generic My Hacker News with a classifier trained on each person's personal "I want to see / I do not want to see" preferences? :>

HN doesn't need subreddits.

why? I notice you've received (18) upvotes, which in this case probable means agreement, so there's obviously some support for not having this feature.

Is it specifically subreddits to avoid? I completely agree that subreddits are a terrible implementation of user-content customization because they force items into a single-parent hierarchy.

However, categories that filter content according to different weights would be quite useful. By pre-selecting these categories and thus pre-computing them, it would even be reasonable to implement (actual per-user filters might not work so well in real-time).

I'll add the timezone (PDT). It's updated whenever I run a command to update the HTML and scp that to the server. Nothing automated about the process yet.

That's a great idea. Right now it's just spitting out a static HTML file, so that'd require some significant changes to the code. I'll see how it's doing tomorrow and consider making it into something like what you describe.

Are you using the reverend thomas library? http://www.divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodReverend I've been wanting to use that library for something just like this. I would love to read a write up of this, or see the code at some point. Thanks

Yeah, that's exactly the Bayesian classifier library that I'm using. I'll have the code up in a few hours.

I think you've stumbled on something that Hacker News needs: Categories.

as long as the same story can't be submitted by 2 different people by submitting it into different catetgories
