Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Kepler Lounge's post explaining why the author built a contour-integration autodiff repo, which they present as a proposed biologically plausible way for neurons to be trained.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
The more relevant link is https://keplerlounge.com/neural-computation/2020/01/16/compl... . Where the author discusses why this repos exists. This isn't a very good way to do AutoDiff and isn't exact(Look at standard reverse mode AutoDiff or Julia or Swift's implementations instead). The point of the repo is that the author believes it is a biologically plausible mechanism for neurons to be trained. Whether it is or…
