Hacker Hacker News

At hackerhackernews.com. Links from Hacker News about technical topics (programming, math, science, etc.) separated from the rest. I made this in a few hours for my own personal use and thought that other people might want to use it, too. It uses a Python Bayesian classifier trained on about 120 hand-labeled links and outputs a static HTML file. It's not perfect (and the technical/non-technical distinction is arbitrary), but I'll give it some more training data and see if it improves. Also, I don't mean to disparage non-technical topics with this; sometimes I just want to read about programming, though. Mercurial repository at http://bitbucket.org/sqs/hhn/overview/.
