Recently I'm noticing HN's automatic submission headline generator often changes what I post such that I have to manually retitle it. This used to be the exception but now appears to be the rule. Anyone else seeing this? Did something in the behind the scenes coding change? dang? Anyone?
PaulHoule•8mo ago
Yeah, I am thinking of updating my autoposter so it reads the headlines and if it has been changed the system will edit it back to what it was. It's enough of a hassle to squeeze everything into 80 characters, but to never be allowed to start a headline with "How" is ridiculous.

As for the article, it's a running gag in my pod that articles get posted about animals that prove what people working with animals already knew all of the time. Probably the best category is the studies that show that various animals have a "theory of mind" which is probably is intrinsic to being able to hunt or not get hunted but frequently a difficult experiment to set up.

bookofjoe•8mo ago
Thanks for this. I was also wondering if maybe HN was doing an under the radar experiment using AI to screen the headlines...
