HN is still great but it’s in decline, I still hear about AI developments on r/LocalLlama and X sometimes weeks before they make it here if even at all.
And all the commentary here is negative, skeptical and mean. It’s like Slashdot when Apple started ascending and everyone was complaining that iPods will never catch on.
The manual unflagging pf political stories and the rampant political advocacy that encouraged has destroyed a lot of the value of HN. Inconvenient facts are downmodded, “no u” gets votes.
