How is this on the homepage twice with no comments and less than 10 votes?
- flockonus 4y agoMy guess is something about the works of HN algo, giving high weight to the posting account high karma points.
- tomcam 4y agoThey explicitly deny this happens https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
- rcme 4y agoI think it's part of the second-chance pool. If you look at the submission from OP, it was actually submitted 20 hours ago.
- alwayslikethis 4y agoYou can just check it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool It is indeed coming up from the second chance pool.
- pinewurst 4y agoIt’s much more interesting to me than more ChatGPT hype.
- jsjohnst 4y agoI agree, but my point is it was on the homepage twice simultaneously with less than ten upvotes on BOTH separate submissions and zero comments.
- NonEUCitizen 4y agoHow does the "second-chance pool" work?
- jsjohnst 4y agoBoth postings were the same URL, posted by different users, each with less than ten upvotes and zero comments, on the homepage simultaneously within ~10 spots of each other. I wasn’t being critical of the project (actually quite the opposite), more surprised at the situation. According to what it shows, one was posted 12hrs ago, the other was 10hrs ago, so why wasn’t the second submission two hours later by a different user handled appropriately? You’d think that they’d at least have logic to prevent the exact same url from showing up on two different submissions at the same time.
