Strange. At the same time I see numerous items that are on the front page posted 2 hours or older with fewer points.
I'm willing to take a reputation hit on this meta post. I wonder why this got demoted so quickly from front page despite people clearly voting on it. I wonder if it has anything to do with being backed by YC.
I sincerely hope it's just my miss understanding of hn algorithm though
- mchiang 2y agoCan confirm it doesn't. Many Ollama posts get pushed off the front page too despite having hundreds of points. Over time I understood. If they did this for YC companies, it would ruin the trust of HN, YC, and probably the most important to YC companies, the reputation of the startup itself.
- zozbot234 2y agoI assume this is what happens when many HN users just flag every AI- and LLM-related post out of sheer frustration with the reality distortion field around this particular topic.
