I would like to sort comments by the level of the author’s expertise in whatever they are discussing. HN is a goldmine, but finding valuable knowledge within heated or elaborate discussions requires too much commitment to read through everything.
A weighted number of a comment’s upvotes is one signal. However, I can often tell when an author has deep knowledge or comprehensive experience with a subject just by reading their comment.
Do you think it might be possible to automate that kind of judgment?
