Pretty damn often.

I started doing this because I noticed mine were.

Good articles I would post would get killed, and maybe surface a few days later at the behest of the mods.

Weird shit.

I am increasingly disgusted by HN.

"they" are quite unhappy with Mamdani as mayor, and they're trying their damndest to besmirch NYC in any way possible right now.

1) This plane made a break straight for Mar-A-Lago in it's final moments.

2) Trump installed anti-aircraft missile launchers and radar at Mar-A-Lago just a few days ago.

3) The rear horizontal stabilizer appears to be missing from the highest quality dashcam ... and debris was found over 4 miles away from the crash site.

4) The size of the fireball does not seem commensurate with the amount of fuel that would be remaining for just 28 minutes left in the flight.

I am suspicious of the entire event.

Nice work, dude.

You've been banished from the HN powers that be, FYI.

Not flagged... not buried... just deleted from the queue, apparently.

I watch for HN stories being removed, and yours vanished from the top 500 2 hours ago while the formula says #30;

Pro tip: Signal is vulnerable too.
I hope so!
I was mostly concerned when I saw he had been posting about knives as well.

And I've just never seen any commenter with 3+ pages of dead comments that's still allowed/able to comment?

I figured if they were actually shadow banned I wouldn't be seeing their comments at all? (Even though I have show-dead on ... one would assume there would be thousands or millions of shadowbanned bots on the prowl by now).

I hope so!

I was just really concerned to see literally every single comment they've made across 3 pages deep have been flagged.

I didn't actually read any of them.

And the one submission he did get some traction on was about some kind of knives?

I mean whatever ... what can I do ... I know ... I just thought somebody should say something.

Maybe he'll see this someday?

If you do bud, I hope you're doing alright, even though I've never met ya!

It's worth still dropped by 5% though and counting.
>Why aren't you excited for pushing the frontier of knowledge.

A lot of us believe OpenAI has pushed the frontier too far and should maybe let a bit of that knowledge flow down from their stolen ivory tower first.

Is it stronger and cheaper than DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017?

If not, yawn...

HN censored this post, eh? It's "vanished" from the entire list... less than 30 minutes after posting... interesting.

No offense but you don't know what you're talking about.

Spitballing random pr pieces from companies about to IPO is not helpful to anyone, fyi.

Bullshit.

No arguments here.

I guess the most important thing is to spread the tech then... make it fair at least? (Like this guy is doing)

Is DHS going to blacklist this one, too? [0]

DHS now plays AI whack a mole, apparently.

I am torn about drone tech now.

I used to be super stoked about it.

But watching drones kill civilians kind of ruined it. [0]

Then again ... they do put a dent in superpowers powers apparently so ... like I said ... I am torn.

Re:MiniMax M3.1 Flash on Monday October 19, 2026 @02:15PM (#50155876)
Not as strong as DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 on deepswe so it's already dead to me.

Unless they come in at half the price (which I think will be impossible) on inference ... they have wasted their training compute imho.

Re:Maybe There Was an Egg Cartel After All on Monday October 19, 2026 @02:14PM (#50155865)
Of course there's an Egg Cartel.

There's lime, avocado, milk, oil and corn cartels. Why not eggs?

Deepseek V4.1 Flash 1017 is out of this world good ... and cheap ... that's why.
That's not a reason to change your mind ... LLMs can refute anything you ask them to without thinking.
The balls on this Zuck, I tell ya ... grinds my gears.
Re:DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash-1017 on Saturday October 17, 2026 @07:33PM (#50136209)
I asked opus 5.5 to run 3 "hard" questions against haiku 5.5, sonnet 5.5, and this latest deepseek 1017 as worker agents running claude code... and deepseek won.

Not only did it come in significantly cheaper even than Haiku, but it was more correct than Sonnet.

This is great! I am gonna get coding!!!

Re:DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash-1017 on Saturday October 17, 2026 @01:29PM (#50133098)
And Christmas comes early this year.

DeepSeek v4.1 Flash was a beast.

It was already cheaper and more powerful than Haiku 5.5 which was released like a full month after it... by a trillion dollar american "frontier" company.

Can't wait to see what this one has in store.

This entire release just reeks of desperation from musk.
