Your impatience has betrayed you. Some examples from the next pages, that caused me to write this post: [dead] Show HN: Try QwQ-32B for Free: Advanced AI Reasoning Model (qwq-32b.net) [dead] Show HN: I made an AI platform that combines GPT-4o, Claude, DeepSeek and more (typethinkai.com) [dead] Some basic primitives for PHP OpenAI Client (github.com/assistantengine) [dead] Benchmark on Multi-Embodiment Intelligence Normative Data for Robot Manipulation (arxiv.org) [dead] Using "tools" support (or function calling) with LangchainJS and Ollama (hashnode.dev)

So... except for the arxiv one, all AI related stuff. Personally I don't flag those but the overabundance of links about that can easily become tiring for people, I'd guess.

    I don't find it hilarious. It's just an observation that all those are AI related. I never claimed that people "investigate" the links and kill them. But I do believe that if enough people get tired of a certain subject, they will flag such links without bothering to even click them. Then again, you did assume that this was done automatically. I think I can be allowed to assume that it's just other users flagging stuff they don't like.

      >Then again, you did assume that this was done automatically. If you see multiple [dead] stories that are minutes old by different users that have non-clickbait tech titles it is not unreasonable to think auto-moderation is a more likely explanation than someone manually killing every single post in near real-time by keeping a filter algorithm in their head and manually checking whether each expression in that algorithm is true or false. >I don't find it hilarious. If YC was asking for AI startup submissions but HN was auto-killing noobie AI submissions I would find that hilarious in a black comedy sense. Pity we don't share the same absurdist humor.

      If it's [dead] but not [flagged], it was killed automatically without users flagging it. Conversely, if it's [flagged] but not [dead], it was killed by users and then revived by other users vouching for it or through moderator action.

The QwQ one is a graft. (Whenever a new AI model is released, someone will register a related domain name, throw up a templated website and try to milk the hype.) TypeThinkAI also looks like a graft, but at least they're honest about just being a wrapper around models produced by others? I vouched for one of the AssistantEngine links because although the author did submit a bit too many links, the project might deserve a chance. I also vouched for the arXiv paper. hashnode.dev has been banned for a long time, probably because spammers use it a lot.

One was killed because the account was banned for being part of a spam ring. One was killed because the account, while not banned, is breaking this guideline: "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) One was killed because the site is banned on HN (in this case, because it has been the source of too many low-quality posts and too much promotional behavior). Two look like false positives by spam filters, though it's not so easy to be sure.
