Hey,<p>Recently I have been working a lot with semantic sentence encoding. For example for some semantic search use cases or semantic clustering.<p>As a sort of demo and way to explore the potential and limitations of semantic encoding, I thought it would be fun to build this small side project together with a colleague.<p>It's basically a HN clone based of VueJS' HN clone with the small twist of having the top 3 semantically most similar together with the current HN stories.<p>I have been using this for some time for myself now and I find sometimes some fun stories come up. It doesn't always work so great, but see for yourself.<p>I added a feature for ranking how similar you perceive the story to be. If enough people make use of the ranking feature it could be possible that a dataset of similar HN-stories title pairs would come together (I'm thinking of sth. like the GLUE STS-B dataset).<p>If that was the case I would, of course, make it available publicly.<p>Thanks for reading and please let me know your thoughts :)<p>/Philipp
I like the idea of the time machine and it’s very interesting to see how history plays out in HN stories. Looking forward to a future time machine with updated technology.
