I don't know if it's the "HN is deteriorating" effect finally setting in after a decade, but I do feel like titles either made more sense at the source or were changed to make sense in the past (say, before 2020±1). Now the homepage very often has 10-30% titles that either make no sense or mislead, and you have to click to know what it's about. Might as well just have a list of hashes then and see where you end up. Opening it now: titles like Boustrophedon and XINF (those two words are two submissions' entire titles) aren't useful and should be added to, for example. Similar for this article: it's not editorialising ("expressing one's opinion rather than the facts") to make it reflect what the source is trying to say.
