Pretty sure 404 media is automatically killed, possibly because it doesn't have a paywall bypass. Same as if you post a link to "the information" - it's something nobody can read so not worth linking.
- archagon 2y agoThat's odd, because this other link I wanted to post from 404 (someone beat me to it) wasn't killed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43646920 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43646920 (Unless it was vouched back to life.)
- andy99 2y agoInteresting, I've seen lots of 404 submission [dead] and assumed that was why. I notice that the link you posted above is not paywalled but the dead one is, though I'd be surprised if that's actually detected somehow.
- PaulHoule 2y agoThat article isn't registerwalled, it's also a good quality article, not sensationalistic, not breathless, not about sex.
- archagon 2y agoI assume "not sensationalistic, not breathless, not about sex" is not something an automated HN filter can flag. Or paywalls, for that matter.
- PaulHoule 2y ago20 years ago it was science fiction, with BERT models and LSTM it is easy. The hard part is getting a collection of 5000 articles that are "sensationalistic/breathless/about sex" and another 5000 that aren't. You could beat 90% on that one easily, probably 95%. Or you could just block 404media and have accuracy about that good.
