Looks like the site is down.

Yeah sorry about that - I see cryptic errors in the server logs popping up at random. I think it must be something to do with the scale of requests coming in and breaking the site in some way I don't currently understand. I have near zero experience with scaling web sites, if anyone who does is passionate about meta research you're very welcome to look through serve.py and help me out.

One of the problems I caught: error: [Errno 24] Too many open files from tornado. Trying to fix (edit ok made ulimit -n larger and I don't see this error anymore at least)

I'd offer but I have other commitments this afternoon; I hope you find someone who can help!

It is a funny error

Does this happen always with the same traceback (that is, with the same area of your code in the stack trace)?

Would be cool if you could upvote/downvote papers

I thought about this quite a bit. I don't think I want downvoting. And I don't want effectless upvoting. The way it is right now is that you can add a paper to your library, and it will then feed into your personal SVM as a positive example of papers you like to see more of. Adding paper to your library as a type of paper you like to see more of effectively counts as an "up vote", and is what is sorted by when you go to the "top" tab.

Does that mean papers are "downvoted" by default, i.e. added to the negative example list?
