[dupe]

Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40730156

This is a nytimes article. Not a dupe of the https://ssi.inc announcement.

edit: looking at your account, about half your messages seems to be [dupe]. https://i.imgur.com/RomLfQG.png

Are you automating this? I wouldn't recommend because of false flags like you just did.

edit2: seems like i hit a nerve. got instant -3 votes for pointing out this is not a dupe.

you don’t seem to understand how dupe works on HN :)

it doesn’t have to be literally the same article - these are both describing the exact same event

I think you're assuming your understanding of dupe as a de facto HN rule.

Guidelines say nothing about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

And this news article has context and information which the other post lacked.

Yes it’s not a de jure rule, but it is a de facto one. HN has plenty of norms not formally in the guidelines

It's not the same link, not the same article, they aren't even written by the same person. The content is very different in content. They only relate in topic.

One is the announcement from a company.

The other is a news coverage.

@dang could you please clarify if this is considered a dupe?

In fact while searching for references about what is considered a dupe I found a false positive by THE SAME PERSON that reported this as dupe:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40433658

And I quote:

" busymom0 30 days ago | root | parent | next [–]

Related doesn't meant dupe. "

-------

"snowwrestler 30 days ago | prev [–]

Please stop with the [dupe] comments. No one is asking you to do it, and you’re not doing a good job of it."

"busymom0 30 days ago | next [–]

This is not a dupe of those 2 posts you provided. This post is about the update issued by Apple yesterday (those 2 posts are from 6 days ago) and is also a more broader discussion calling for Apple to release details of the bug."

The point is there's already a post about this days old news, and plenty of discussion. Don't split up the thread. The discussion is over there.

It's still not a dupe. One is a short announcement from a company. The other is a a news coverage and adds context not present in the announcement.

Stop spamming HN with false positives. Users are smart enough to vote if related content from other sources is interesting.

I hope @dang can clarify this because clearly I and others that replied to you in the past have different definitions of dupe.

heh, you wanna add context? Post the link in the discussion over there, which is the culmination of multiple threads already merged from stories like this. 2 days old news.

Why would I add more context if the link serves that purpose?

And in a much better format than hundreds of random comments?

I'd rather let users vote on what's important than spam [dupe] on every other thread.

> Dr. Sutskever’s title at the new company will be chief scientist but he describes his role, according to Ms. Meservey, as “responsible for revolutionary breakthroughs.”

My word that is an impressive level of self-confidence.

Co-Founder, who helped out [other Co-Founder]

...I would hope that's the case, lol.

Not "helped out", it says "help oust".

reread the subject :)

Hmm whoever wrote that headline is quite insensitive or just plain ignorant.

Ilya's name can stand on its own, even before joining OpenAI.

the general public only knows Sam

American society nowadays celebrates the capital allocators, not the weird scientists and investors

Do they?

If you stop somebody on the street and ask them who "Sam Altman" is, they wouldn't know as well ...

I think you underestimate the degree that he is becoming a household name, especially since the ScarJo thing

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%203-m&ge...

I'd say they're on about the same degree of (low) popularity.

You may argue the comparison vs. Swift is overkill, but that's actually the kind of fame that's "household name" territory.

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%203-m&ge...

Taylor Swift is far beyond household name level of fame, she is likely among the most recognizable names in the world if not the most recognizable name in the world right now. I use google trends quite frequently, I have yet to be able to find a name that eclipses taylor swift

You're right on that, I went down a rabbit hole of comparing her vs. all I could think of, and she's an absolute monster. Wow. Good on her!

It's not a person's name, I know, but, you could say that Wordle makes Taylor Swift look like Ilya Sutskever: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%203-m&ge...
