Low-Background Steel
- ftxbro 3y agothis is hacker news all time favorite wikipedia article. it needs to ascend to the pantheon in a list within a new tab at the top of the hacker news website and removed from new submissions.

- ftxbro 3y agoits ok you are one of hacker news lucky ten thousand i guess https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/ probably i just am too old and go on these sites too much it would be like watching sesame street for twenty years and then complaining that they are showing reruns
- ftxbro 3y agoin case anyone doesn't know it, the latest hotness is to use low-background steel as an analogy for pre-ai-generated internet content. they will 'mine' this ancient content in the future bc it's relatively unpolluted by arguably worse content generated by gpt and its successors. i'm not sure i 100% agree with that take, but that's what many people are saying.
