It was available earlier. Here's the HN history:

The oldest submission is from 15 y.o ago - that is 2010.

I resubmitted it - thinking - with the success of LLMs - felt this was worth a revisit from "how real-world scientific progress works" point of view.

No it is from 2011. The text mentions an event in 2011, so it couldn't have been written earlier, and the first HN submission [1] was in 2011, so it also wasn't written later.

The title should say (2011), otherwise the whole piece is confusing.
