Off topic/meta, but the Llama 3.2 news topic received many, many HN submissions and upvotes but never made it to the front page: the fact that it's on the front page now indicates that moderators intervened to rescue it: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=meta.com (showdead on)

If there's an algorithmic penalty against the news for whatever reason, that may be a flaw in the HN ranking algorithm.

The main issue was that Meta quickly took down the first announcement, and the only remaining working submission was the information-sparse HuggingFace link. By the time the other links were back up, it was too late. Perfect opportunity for a rescue.

Yeah I submitted what turned out to be a dupe but I could never find the original, probably was buried at the time. Then a few hours later it miraculously (re?)appeared.

AIUI exact dupes just get counted as upvotes, which hasn’t happened in my case.
