Hacker News Reader

I regularly read Adrian Colyer's blog. -> blog.acolyer.org. Every single day. Simply reading through his reviews has increased my knowledge about Computer Science by leaps and bounds. Also, I see for new uploads in "Emerging Technologies" and "Hardware Architecture" section of Arxiv everyday. My daily ritual.

Looks amazing, thanks!

Is there HN for arxiv papers?(I saw the parent link has top hype sections, but it's not the same)

What value have you found in reading his reviews vs reading the actual papers?

The actual papers are 10 pages long, on an average. Reading 10 pages long hard core technical papers everyday is tough for me. His reviews are succint and easy to understand. Enough for me to get the gist of the work done. While my aim is to be able to read those technical papers everyday on my own, eventually, for the time being I could use his reviews.

Solid. And you feel like you still learn a lot? I've run into the same issue. Where the papers are super interesting, but I can't spend 2 hours per day reading them.

So what measures did you take for it? Any ideas on how do I improve? Any feedback would be much appreciated.
