This is a reddit post which links to a Twitter post [0] which links to this paper [1] and this repo [2] [0] - https://nitter.net/_albertgu/status/1731727672286294400 https://nitter.net/_albertgu/status/1731727672286294400 [1] - https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00752 https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00752 [2] - https://github.com/state-spaces/mamba https://github.com/state-spaces/mamba Out of curiosity, does anyone feel as though there's any benefit to linking to reddit when we can link to whatever the reddit post actually is? I for one do not click the link and read discussion on reddit - if I wanted that sort of discussion, I would browse there, not HN.

I am with you, I don't see the point of linking to the reddit post in a situation like this.

Ah yes, plus your link [1] already had significant attention here (thanks!): Mamba: Linear-Time Sequence Modeling with Selective State Spaces - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38522428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38522428 - Dec 2023 (34 comments) > does anyone feel as though there's any benefit to linking to reddit You were certainly right in this case, but I'm not ready to ban reddit.com because I think there are still some positive threads that come in through that window. If anyone disagrees strongly enough to peruse https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=reddit.com%20comments%3E10&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... and make the case against, the court will grant standing :)

Speaking purely for myself, (curious what other people think) my preference is _always_ for the link to go to the most "principal" source. Then, in the comments, add a link to a pop news article or the comments section. I hate links to twitter posts, feels like undeserved promotion of Elon Musk. Just find what the twitter links to, or the actual research paper, and submit that. Links to reddit are okay, it's devolving, for sure, but depending on topic sometimes I find more intelligent comments there. (RARELY)
