So, I played with it some more. I think that this is a good starting point. You can tune various parameters for what you have indexed and it will get better. I am sure it will evolve in interesting directions from here.

Yes, please! I would love to be able to search for strongly held opinions by folks who _know_ what they are talking about.
> recommending stories to you based on your interests...
I am curious how, in principle, you would you do that? Where do you think the signal that indicates my "interest" lies?
Thank you!
To learn your interests we'd at a minimum need to know what HN stories you tend to click or comment on, e.g. by a different reader view or using a browser extension. Presumably your comments and submissions could provide useful signal as well :)
