Ask HN: What's the account age threshold to submit Show NH?

1•ihateaislop•1h ago

I'm trying to submit my 3 year old, non AIslop FOSS project to Show NH but I'm hit with the following error message:

>We're temporarily restricting Show HNs because of a massive influx, mostly by users who aren't yet familiar with the site or its culture.

>You're welcome on HN! Take some time to get to know the community, become a good contributor, and then it will be fine to post an occasional Show HN.

What's the minimum age threshold, then?

Forget age, contribute insightful, productive comments: in other words participate in the committee rather than try promote your thing. The latter can follow later.

The problem with this is I'm searching like crazy for relevant posts, then I see some, I post on them, but I feel like I'm inflating HN with non-important posts specifically for the point of being able to show off my thing. I feel like I'm diluting HN because I'm a person who only speaks when I have something to say. I don't like forcing myself to comment on every post that I can say something on because it feels like I'm just adding noise not signal.

Same question. I've been working 14 hours a day for 3 months on something and I'm finally ready to show it.

Are you talking to me? I have a 80b model running on an 8gb mac with unlimited context window, ingesting 1.5mb files in 10 seconds and able to digest and talk about them with zero lag. I used AI on a lot of if but if you're saying it doesn't work as described you're a fool

I didn't say it doesn't work; I said it doesn't add value. There's billions of local slop models.

my work stands on it's own. If you're dumb enough to overlook it that's on you.

ihateaislop•31m ago

Your work? You mean AI's?

giovanniwants•22m ago

Opinions are like assholes, and I'm sure you have a reputation of dismissing everything without looking at it. I'm done with you because I have actual work to do. Seriously tho, what have you done? I'm not taking an ounce of your opinion until I see your work/projects.
