- dang 1y agoThat's right, but the test we use is "are two articles different enough to support a substantively different discussion". In this case the answer is clearly no, so they fall in the same equivalence class. (We'll put a link to https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/27/psf-withdrawn-proposal/ https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/27/psf-withdrawn-proposal... in the toptext of the other post though)

- Lerc 1y agoDo you have any data on what tends to get inappropriately flagged? I'm not sure if it would be productive to share such information, but can't help being curious about it.
- dang 1y agoI can't really answer that because it's not clear what "inappropriately" means. Everyone seems to have a different definition!

- dang 1y agoThanks, we've moved the comments thither.
