The last thing I want to do is harass people online. I care about HN and dislike bots and automated posting taking away real human interaction. You're not a bot - which I had already noted from your profile - and I have no problem with

I stand corrected. You posted only 6 submissions in the last 24 hours. Not my place to judge you. (I used the Hack for HN app on iOS which, incorrectly, showed 50 hits). I apologize.

Still why does a comment noticing that get flagged? I cannot imagine it’s Dang doing that, he consistently comes across as much too reasonably for that. Does that mean flagging is automated when criticizing ‘big outlets’ spamming HN?!? (The

This account has 50 submissions in the last two hours! [Edit: not the parent; the posting account] I don’t know why GP’s comment was flagged because submitting at a rate of 25 submissions PER HOUR is not done out of a genuine desire to sha

”Because if humanity has shown anything, it's that a lot of people are, euphemistically, bad individuals ” In reality most individuals are good people. Individually, people prefer be kind and compassionate, prefer to help when they fi

With how they’re currently being used we might as well call them bend marks. Every newly released model is paraded as SOTA showing peak or near peak performance on cherry-picked bend marks the model was either fine-tuned on, or tested und
