Git 2.0

> "get your popcorn out. the git wars are on."

I would make a joke here about git bein' rewritten in Rust (by AI even), but folk are already doin' various forms of exactly that, so it's not really a joke that can be made anymore. :shrug:

Appropriate name for the participants.

It's on the front page now.

I know two HNTG channel (one "normal", one with summaries. I don't think they "official" in any sense of the word.

this started happening after a longer downtime. i see one or two of those per day. so far it has not been a bother. it's not like it's posting everything now, and the stuff i click on is interesting regardless most of the time. more concerning is that occasionally i notice a submission that should have been shared in the channel but isn't. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48732582 for example.

i suspect they replaced the bot that picks the posts and either the new bot is simply buggy or it has another algorithm that picks posts by growth rate maybe?

The git repo on github is a publish-only copy. It doesn't accept pull requests, though apparently there is a mechanism to turn pull requests into a patch for the mailing list they may accept.

They've got to be getting tired of all the hype going to Anthropic because of the big "I rewrote X in Rust in two weeks with Claude stories." Anthropic has their PR game on lock.

A lot of folks are building “git for agents”.
