Somewhat related, I use this script to see which posts are new on frontpage. Also shows rank change but I don't look at that anymore. https://gist.github.com/SMUsamaShah/e7c9ed3936ba69e522f8cb38...

"An Unfolding Scientific Revolution in Cosmology" seems to be uncontentious in itself but that it is on economicsfromthetopdown.com raises a question about why it is there at all. Also there seems to be little that is newsworthy in it.
uh, found several mines :)
sometime I have the feeling having a username that ends with "xx" does not help much :)
In the january archive [0] I can't find this flagged story [1]. Was it already fallen off when flag-killed? Or doesn't it catch these?
So many important tech related debates lately being silenced by mass flagging. Luckily they remain in https://news.ycombinator.com/active
(I feel like "everything" is now "political" and thus not wanted here. Since Musk for instance now is a political figure, one cannot discuss X even when not a partisan topic about X. Or when some guy does big swoops that affect tech world wide, it's also not possible to discuss here. And I miss it, because I think HN is full of great people and I would like your take on these events.)

Not hard to believe at all. While I don't flag any posts. I have no interest in LLM related content.
I also actively use AI tools btw. It's just tiring seeing everything with AI suffix including monitors.
