> A project that is built with AI in a few days or even weeks does not cut it anymore

That does not characterize my work - it’s typically months of work.

But you’re correct that I haven’t been writing detailed intros. I create stuff people can use and I prefer that experience to speak for itself, but … it’s necessary to intro it here, I think.

I have emailed you just now for that for reference.

> You’re not being downweighted or flagged or penalized.

Thanks for saying that, but where is the data to support that? It does not match my experience here.

The thing is my posts are being seen: six or more times over the last few months a new project I post will get 6 to 8 points on the new page, but it won’t graduate to show or front even though that puts it well above the lowest on the page. Or if rarely it gets to show it’ll remain in the dead zone of position six and below where votes barely accrue.

That suggests to me either consistent flagging or downweighting you’ve baked in or extended from the downweighting dang says here was happening for the comedy followups end of last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46326588#46329337

I have been using this website for a long time and it doesn’t feel to me like it’s simply a case of you need to clear a higher bar.

I feel the raised bar is part of it - but maybe you can look at the data of what I’ve posted, and whether it has been flagged consistently and by who or somehow caught in some unintended downweighting. It really does feel like that. Maybe you can have a look?

Thank you for the back and forth

That refers to the comedy series of last year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46205632 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46326588#46329337 Etc), not any of this year’s CLI/tooling innovations, so any penalizing of the former should not apply to the latter.

Saying the TUI browser, operable browser REPL for agents, microfilm viewer, AOT language, and others are minor variations of a “theme” is gross misrepresentation that has no idea about the depth and quality of those, and how they are all distinct - and is not an appropriate reason to hold them back.

The comedy posts were definitely variations on a theme, the work this year is distinct and not minor variations on a theme.

Resubmissions of high quality work (that hasn’t yet hit the front page) consistently achieves front page placement, unless interfered with. When you hold back my posts, you invite more resubmissions for work which, if unmolested, would have already hit the front page. Why are you guys doing this?

I imagine you get vocal email complaints from folks who don’t want to see my work on the front page for whatever reason. Is that true?

> Projects that are interesting, novel and offer some gem of insight for the audience to learn about will always have place on HN.

My work has all that - as can be seen by looking at the work, looking at the organic reaction it gets before it’s prevented from hitting the front page when it should, and by looking back at how I consistently hit the front page over 10 years here - but you guys are holding it back now, why?

I think you’re repeatedly and falsely trying to make it about creator quality when that’s not justified - because it’s not a question in the case of my work here. It already is very quality. Something else is going on, what is it?

What doesn’t scan is i don’t make shit. I regularly hit front over the last ten years. Now the posts that get community signal are held back, and not a single one of my high-quality works has hit HN front page in six months. Why are you doing this?

Also i suggest for posterity you prevent the comments in our thread here from being flagged invisible. Let’s keep it open and fair. The sole exception to the above ‘ban’ was so egregiously flagged and misrepresented in comments it led to GitHub disabling the projects’ repo. Mods did not step in to protect or police the bad comments. Night and day with before.

Edit: edit fair enough on looking for a new ways to identify signal, but to be honest it seems like you guys already have a good signal of interestingness. I mean it worked before this year, and it also seems the ability to consistently hit the front page should be a good signal of ability to generate interesting content, but you seem to be penalizing that in my case?

Thanks for the back and forth

I’m having success right now with Reddit and YouTube. I think HN may be over for good work unless you are protected/blessed/not downweighted by mods.

I love your promos video - how did you put that together? Vibing with the retro internet story.

Also i am building something with similar goals: https://duetbrowser.com/dub-cli

I’m very glad you got on the show page. Many of my recent posts that got the same vote/time rate with similar min stories on show never escaped new - indicating flag or mod suppression - even tho there’s zero rational reason and no good reason for anyone to do that. Good work should be shown not hidden by personal bias of a few

I’m not a noob - i got the biggest show HN of last year, but the system, or the experience of some accounts including mine has radically changed in the last few months. So far the mods are saying they don’t know anything about outright downweighting, but have not shown data that supports that. What I’ve seen very much supports that

Good luck with your post!

If you buy that - please feel free to email hey@dosaygo.com

There’s no script on your machine - it connects to the server, that’s where the magic happens.

The link is specifically titled “open in my terminal” (but really just opens in SSH, which requires terminal). Once you click that the browser will give you a choice to open if it supports SSH links.

It’s purely a cool convenience so you can SSH to a site directly from a link in a webpage, instead of copy pasting ssh krnl.duetbrowser.com - it’s the same thing as an open in app link.

I like that this brings back some kind of old days of the internet feeling and uses web technologies but sidesteps the public World Wide Web, even though it’s still on the internet.

You can try it out too right now, and I’m thinking about making the self-hosting specialized applications part a first-class thing. But right now, the project is organized as a browser rendering engine, which I spent eight years on since the end of 2018, most of that without AI, writing all the code myself. And then a terminal renderer, which connects to that browser renderer and takes its output and bookkeeping and renders it into the terminal.

And that is designed by me, including the layout algorithm, but AI wrote almost all the code. So I am basically a software designer and AI nudger in that one. My flow is essentially like one agent at a time, and I’ll monitor it, nudge it based on my intuitions if it gets stuck or needs help or whatever, and guide it towards the goal. Plus being the designer and decision maker.

AI makes a lot of decisions, but I make the most of them. So that’s just describing my flow of how I created this terminal thing, which is roughly around a year old.

And originally it was created with Gemini Pro 3.1, which at that time a year ago was sort of the most capable model for complex tasks. And I literally did it on the free AI Studio web application, just like pasting in code listings. Obviously, with agents now, everything is much smoother as a workflow.

This demo has some kind of a cap on it, so let me know if it hits that. It probably won’t, but feel free to tell me. And you can self-host it today. Let me know if you want to do that.

This text was dictated by me and then had punctuation and paragraphing added, but the wording was not changed.
