I'd agree with previous commenters that there isn't really a technical / non-technical split - it's more of a continuum. I'm definitely on the technical side of that continuum with respect to the general population, but relative to a lot of people who browse this site I'm probably on the low end. I started reading more HN while searching for a replacement for/supplement to Reddit (feel like average quality there has declined a good bit in recent years). I think the articles posted on HN are generally pretty interesting and informative, and in a lot of cases the comments and discussion here seems to be better in comparison to Reddit.
