The mishap is not the chatbot accidentally getting too extreme and at odds with 'Elon's centrist stuff'. The mishap is the chatbot is too obvious and inept about Musk's intent.

A US presidential candidate got shot and people flagged that. How would one even assess this 'rigor' without considering the things that never made it to begin with. There was also at least one giant thread about the Grok South Af

Right, because otherwise you end up with a split discussion and people miss stuff, moderators end up having to merge them, etc. Immediate followups count as dupes (in HN's weird dupery algebra), they're better off linked in the ac

You just had a big Show HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44394051 so you probably want to give this a few weeks for the hivemind caches to clear (even though it's a different thing) and repost it then.

"Responsible disclosure policies" are mostly vendor exhortations to people who do a public service (finding vulnerabilities and publicly disclosing them) not to embarrass them too much. The fact they contain silly boilerplate is p

I fixed the confusing bit, thanks. I'm not persuaded by the reasoning because I don't see how the reasoning is relevant - we're talking about a specific dickish comment in a specific social place with its specific norms. Thes

I linked it because it explains why the story is not a good HN story and it's not because of the Appleinside blogspam - to my reading, the modcomment is fairly clear about that. You can mail hn@ycombinator.com if you want them to take

There's no analogy or wall of text that makes that comment unshitty and inviting of conversation. It's not a thing one should do on HN because it trashes the place. We resolve this by striving to control our own reflexive dickishn

No, there's also /shownew so it's not just that. this wouldn't apply then? Why not? Looks like a completely reasonable Show HN. Could probably use a better blurb i.e. 'tune for HN-interestingness' like I ment

I find the idea of removing the incentive to find the best time to post interesting. That's, more or less, what the second chance pool attempts to do. As do subcategories like https://news.ycombinator.com/show which

It's better to link the things you want to use as examples because otherwise we aren't really talking about anything concrete. The thread on this submission is awful, for instance - so that's my first link.
