The "Google docs now starts making inclusive word replacement suggestions like motherboard=>mainboard" thread was kind of a mess, and I'm not sure dang scales.

I’m not surprised, I didn’t even read that one because of that. Although I was happy the article itself was about the failures of the implementation at its goals and not just the goals themselves.

I’ve also seen some individual comments on other threads that really just attack the author of the article in question with ad hominems and totally unnecessary insinuations. Not even political posts but things like the Python typing post from the other day.

I'm not sure dang scales

They should choose some other infrastructure than whatever the dang system is then. Or maybe open source it and hope AWS makes a dang multi-instance auto-scaling service.

I've seen it's bot moderation posts though and I have to say it's quality work, passes the Turing test for me. Which makes it all the more surprising that no one has spun it into a real product. I'm not a 10x programmer but if they let me have a go at it I could probably throw one together in a weekend in my garage.

Dang is a person; the main moderator on HN, but thanks for the laugh :D
