Basically no new info here, not really sure why this post needed to be written tbh.

    There’s no shilling here. The person who posted the link isn’t the person who wrote the blog.

      He is in the HN ingroup of whenever he posts a blog, a prominent HN mod or poster with 1 billion karma will inevitably post it, and so it goes. It's sort of like the music industry.

        Does poster karma boost the post in any way?
        • sk4rekr0w 8d ago
          I don't believe HN boosts their algo but I think people recognize posters like celebs. I recognize tosh, simonw, etc. Also it's an easy way to farm karma. The pelican guy posted a pelican, let's upvote it? It's at least a bit of psychosis / mass effect in this. For what it's worth, I like the pelicans but just making an observation

            > It's at least a bit of psychosis I know semantic shift is inevitable, but can we put the brakes on this one at least a little? This doesn't even connect to the original meaning.

              Fair enough. Hivemind, mass effect, happy to have a replacement word in this case.

                Let me propose: HNmind.

  Yes, you have ability to get information very quickly, but not everyone does.
• kzrdude 8d ago
  On the contrary, a level-headed summary that gathers information from all the different sources is necessary.

    Sounds like a great use case for an LLM
    • teiferer 8d ago
      They are busy generating pelicans on bicycles. The summary therefore needs to be written by a human. (This was a joke. I value Simon's role in the community.)

      It's got 'max' and 'ultra' but I don't see a setting for level-headed.
