Hacker News automatically removes the word "How" from the beginning of submissions (and then Title Cases them for good measure) - so I believe submitting that title would instead result in this:

    I'm Helping My High School Peers Learn About CPUs

I might be wrong though, it might only do this with "How to ...".

'How to' is one of the title forms that isn't modified, currently.

I submitted https://simonwillison.net/2023/Aug/6/annotated-presentations... the other day - title "How I make annotated presentations" - and it was automatically re-titled to "I Make Annotated Presentations" - but then renamed back again, I presume by a moderator.

Good to hear I'm not the only one who finds that form of title unpalatable. IMO one of the most annoying headline trends of the clickbait era.
