HN headline makes weird choices in word to omit from source headline: "Big Ass Fans slapped with fat fines for false claims about their clean air products"
If that is too long to include whole, it would be more natural to exclude "fat" than the current choice of leaving it in but dropping "fines".

I have been thinking about training a model to 'omit needless words' in the sense of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style Once I get my data collection program de-asynchronized and (hopefully) running under postgres instead of arangodb I want to make a ModernBERT + LSTM pipleline that ought to be able to do a lot of things, scoring words by needlessness would be one of them. (Identifying toxic people on Bluesky is job #1 though)
