Did LinuxJournal publish an hallucinated article?

I can't seem to get my head around this. I've never heard of this so called init system, it's not in any repositories, and the article has strong hints of being entirely fabricated?
bediger4000•7mo ago
There's nothing on the Arch home page about this at all. Really sus.
incomingpain•7mo ago
The article feels AI to me.

RYE is the rust libraries for python right?

rawkode•7mo ago
Yep!
dredmorbius•7mo ago
Don't editorialise HN submission titles: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9611417>
rawkode•7mo ago
But the real title is misleading ...
JohnFen•7mo ago
Then correct it in a comment or the blurb
rawkode•7mo ago
The guidelines say it's fine to edit misleading titles.

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

JohnFen•7mo ago
Sure, but I think the intent is that you can alter the title to make it no longer misleading.

In this case, the replacement title doesn't clarify anything or indicate what the article is about. It's just pure commentary (speculation even) about the quality of the article.

whytevuhuni•7mo ago
I don't think it's speculation though, since this rye-init init system clearly doesn't even exist anywhere (let alone as an Arch package), and building something that could replace SystemD is an absolutely herculean task.

Rye is a package manager for Python, written in Rust, by Astral, and there's even a rye init command that initializes a new project. That's likely what caused the hallucination.

The original poster is likely trying to get answers on how this kind of article is even a thing, and now so am I.

JohnFen•7mo ago
> The original poster is likely trying to get answers on how this kind of article is even a thing, and now so am I.

Then it would have been better as an "Ask HN", where the title would have been more useful (and didn't link to the article), and the poster would have written a little piece explaining the issue and linking to the article in the explanation.

The problem I have with the poster's title is that it is not reflecting what the link he provided is about. If his point was to raise a discussion about the article itself rather than the subject of the article, that's valid but should have been done in clearer way.

whytevuhuni•7mo ago
That's a good point, Ask HN would've made a lot more sense here.
dredmorbius•7mo ago
<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17328060>

The submitted title was (and at this writing remains) an editorialised commentary on the nature of the article, and doesn't concern the article itself.

HN certainly allows for rewriting misleading or clickbait titles, though I'd argue neither case applies here.
