I understand that the title may have brought confusion, and I think your comment calls attention to this whilst also being somewhat funny.
But still, could we make an effort not to devolve into what has happened on Reddit, i.e. comment sections which mainly consist of puns and other low effort jokes?
- zoomablemind 7y agoTitle is confusing (?intentionally). Would make sense to add Tensorflow to make it more specific.
- ccktlmazeltov 7y agoI don't understand what you are saying, it is very "HN" to comment on the title and not on the article. And it is even more "HN" to comment on details of the title or the article because you don't really know what to say about the article. Look at my comment.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoSure, and ideally those are downvoted. But low-grade jokes fit in here even less and are usually downvoted. At least that's how it is before HN finishes its transition into Reddit, at which point they won't be downvoted and we'll be back to scrolling through bad jokes like "lol CNN in the title looks like CNN the news network lmao, anyone else notice?" to find serious comments. It's a fight worth fighting. "C'mon it's just a joke lol" or "it's only a comment about the title" only assist in that transformation.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoMeta: this is when I like the Slashdot method, you allow the jokes, tag them as jokes, and let people use their own settings to show/hide the jokes. Basically be permissive on content, but demand proper tagging, then allow people to filter out what they don't want.
