    Occasionally a post will show up that is just three asterisks: "* * *". I assume it's some bug in the HN software. Edit: I just tried opening this reply itself in a private window, and it shows up as three asterisks. I presume it's some kind of placeholder for posts that have not been cached/processed somehow Edit 2: Now it loads properly, 3 minutes later.

      Go to your profile and set "Show Dead?" to "Yes". People I think are just tired of hearing about the chatGPT stuff, which I definitely get.

        I've had showdead on for years, as I don't always agree with the 'moderation'/groupthink

      It's posts from people who have a delay set, I believe.
