As per the guidelines, it's polite to put "[video]" in the title if it's a self-starting video. I had 25 tabs open when suddenly the machine started talking to me and I had to work out which tab it was to stop it.
Men's looks are brought up far less often to begin with. (By either gender.)
Yesterday I was reading a highly caustic anti-BoingBoing screed. Everything about the male writer was idealogical. Almost everything about the female writer was about her looks.
This is where somebody on HN might ask for "citation please." In this case, I think that would be a bit disingenuous.
That's because it's not creepy when girls do it. Creepy in this sense is used for unwanted attention from "unworthy" males, the female equivalent of this behaviour would usually at most be described as annoying.
Maybe it would be less creepy if there were more young women interested in statistics, machine learning etc. and who commented in a similar fan-girlish manner on male lecturers. But then again ...
I liked Marcus Hutter's tutorials on the same site: "Introduction to ML" and "Foundations ..." but not the "Universal AI" stuff. Then there are the Stanford ML lectures.
I admit that the topic is not 100% the same though but there is overlap.
