I used to run it on a 24 hour cycle and would get around to looking at maybe half of the 300 articles I picked out. Lately I just look at all 300 when I can and then it picks out another 300. So it is showing me better scoring stuff but not so fast to process it.
It ingested maybe 6500 articles this time so it is showing me the “best 5%” while the clustering makes sure I get some articles about sports, some arXiv papers on recommender systems (of course) and other topics.
If you look at what I submit to HN all of it was selected by YOShInOn first and secondly by me so that’s a good sample of what I see except I am into a few things that don’t play on HN (e.g. Premier league football)
