Considering how often this happens, I'm surprised HN doesn't have a feature to flag and index a historically resubmitted article, whether externally by users or internally by the admin team.
Then it could have a bot create links to past submissions like the OP did and use the best arrived at title for resubmissions.
It does have the ability to catch multiple submissions of new articles but that probably has a time window of a day or so.
- kurthr 2y agoOne problem would be that you can't just check the URL, you'd have to check the content. Not only are there many URLs that could point to the same content, but content on a page can obviously change. I suppose you could compare against wayback, and not sure I'd try to compare with an LLM or RAG.
