Grace W. Lindsay writes Hello, a personal blog at neurdiness.wordpress.com about science and ai. Since 2018, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 5 times, most often “Deep Convolutional Neural Networks as Models of the Visual System: Q&A”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2025-01-24, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Grace W. Lindsay's blog for its post on how convolutional neural networks compare with the brain's visual system. One commenter called it a great article on the similar layers of processing in both.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Convnet was inspired by Fukushima's Neocognitron, which itself was inspired by Hubel and Wiesel work on visual cortex. Here's more on convnets vs brain: https://neurdiness.wordpress.com/2018/05/17/deep-convolution...
