brutal honesty
Thank you for a good laugh! Very well done. :)
Just me, or are all of these one sentence approving comments (at top level) posted by bots?
I'm not even so sure it's such a useless joke. I mean, it is, and I wouldn't want titles to be like "Academic publishers admit paywalls were a scam all along" (unless ALL major publishers actually admit it, which so far they didn't). But I clicked on "Math nerd explains how to spend 3 days proving 1+1=2" and when it turned out to be a Lean tutorial I thought "Oh, that's exactly what I wanted!". I don't know why, but "From Zero to QED: An informal introduction to formality with Lean 4" I didn't even notice. It's such a boring and verbose title with lame attempt at wordplay that, that my brain somehow filters it out.
ok but how does it work though? Is this seriously just passing the titles to some llm with a prompt like 'roast this'? is it reading the actual content of the link as well?
This would actually be somewhat useful for the new page. :)
Love it.
s/Amazon/Atlassian/This is really awesome, I am interested how you made this, is there a way that we can have something this like for hackernews for more than this one instance of (20?) posts, I know its satirical but I really enjoyed it
Considering its hosted on github I think that it is a static page
where "honest" really just means cynical, of course
> CLICK TO KEEP AVOIDING WORK...
on point
European decel mindset.
Honest? Probably not. Funny? Very.
Please add a 2nd page.
Aka better hacker news
I feel cheated that it is only one page.
Love this.
My favorite is the link in the footer:
<a href="https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/">Sell 7% for clout</a>Haha this is brilliant.
Wow, this is amazing! Great work!
I like this a lot.
Aplausos, gracias totales!!!
I miss n-gate’s webshit weekly.
EDIT: open the link manually, they put a mock "security check" on referrers from HN
I love this.
Not sure if the source code for this is available but if you want to make your own version I did something similar that can be easily modified and run locally for your own festive mirth: https://github.com/justinhj/rudehackernews
These are fun but they lose too much of the original content.
"Texas accidentally does something good for privacy"
is not really an improvement over the original (already half-editorialized) "Texas is suing all of the big TV makers for spying on what you watch"
This is pretty funny!
Thanks for sharing
Bravo.
What is the title for this entry now that it's on the front page? I can't find it
This was a great way to start the day over a cup of coffee, sometimes we need things that make as laugh but what is awesome is the titles are spot on. Thank you for making this Friday morning fun
This is amazing.
I love everything about this – the little touches like the logo, the content warning, etc. Thank you for bringing some joy to my day.
>Rich developer spends $15k to run a model slightly faster (jeffgeerling.com)
LOL ... and it actually ran slower.
XDDDDDD
This is really funny
Well done!
Love it!
I motion HN adopts this to auto-translate all submitted titles.
this is gold!
“Click to keep avoiding work …”
>We rewrote it in Rust so you have to upvote it
Good LLM prompt, excellent understanding.
This is hilarious. if you scroll down to the bottom it says, "CLICK TO KEEP AVOIDING WORK". lmao. which llm is this?
hahaha! very funny.
Doesn't seem to be live, otherwise there'd be one that says "Hacker News front page now, but the titles are slop"
Brings back some of that n-gate vibe <3
Did anyone notice the footer? Brilliant.
