If you’re up for sharing, I’m curious to know approximately how many hours each week you spend working on HN. It seems like it would be an enormous amount of time, but I’m just guessing.
I don't count them so I'm afraid I don't know. The hours get sort of fractally sprayed across my days (and weeks).
@dang has a neuralink implant directly feeding HN to his brain...

Did something funky happen to the timestamps in this thread? I could've sworn I was reading it last night (~12h ago)

Sorry for the confusion! I know it's weird but the alternative turns out to be even more confusing and we've never figured out how to square that circle.

There is a comment here by me which says “2 hours ago”, I swear I wrote it longer ago than that - indeed, my threads page still says I wrote it 20 hours ago, so it is like part of the code knows when I really wrote it, another part now thinks I wrote it 18 hours later than I did…
Yes, the relativized timestamps only show on /news (i.e. the frontpage) and /item pages. You can always see the original timestamps on other pages, like /submitted, /from, or (as you say) /threads.
Edit: I checked the code and the actual list is:
