Tu caca, Derrida?

> Cherry-picked quote from the article cut off too early Bad faith argument that could only be made by not reading further into the article or cutting the quote off before it answers the exact question/argument posed here.

A comment complaining this was obviously written by an AI, and the standard template is a tell. A philosophical observation about what that says about the state on online discourse. Link to the Dead Internet Wikipedia page.

zirkonit

A comment based on the reading of the title that could only be conceived if the commenter didn't bother to click the article at all.

A poor attempt at joining the convo too late because I don't browse /new like everyone else. No one upvotes, and I question my intelligence for the 3rd time today.

Anyone struggle with the large font size? I can only consume about 2 lines, maybe three lines at that size before I struggle with tracking. The article itself was in fact delightful once I zoomed out a bunch.

A comment not about the article, but rather about the perceived quality of the HN comments.

Feels similar with cold email.I used to think it was mostly about better copy or subject lines, but lately it feels like timing matters way more. Same message, different moment, completely different outcome. Have you seen cases where timing mattered more than the message itself?

A niche reference almost no one gets, except one.

mhb

An expression of surprise and appreciation that the author, an expert in his field, is actually a HN participant.

Joeboy

An opinion about the design of the website.

stevekemp

An obvious attempt to insert a link into my own vibe-coded project, in the pretense it is either relevant or related.

Reminds me of Schizopolis movie (by Steven Soderbergh): >Fletcher Munson: [sunnily, on homecoming] Generic greeting! >Mrs. Munson: [warmly] Generic greeting returned! >[they kiss and chuckle at each other] >Fletcher Munson: Imminent sustenance. >Mrs. Munson: Overly dramatic statement regarding upcoming meal. >Fletcher Munson: Oooh! False reaction indicating hunger and excitement! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117561/quotes/

A complaint about the quality of posts and the comments they elicit here, followed by an allegation that Hacker News is turning into Reddit.

A false dichotomy that segments typical replies into one of two groups. Group 1: A thinly veiled straw man that buckets everyone I disagree with, along with an attempt to appear as if I'm being unbiased Group 2: The group I put myself in and provide better arguments for why this perspective is correct. Vague motte and bailey statement that gives me plausible deniability when someone criticizes my analysis.
