Here's a Gemini 2.5 provided summary of this Hacker News thread as of the moment when it had 269 comments: https://gist.github.com/simonw/3efa62d917370c5038b7acc24b7c7...

I ran this command to create it:

  curl -s "https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/items/43473489" | \
    jq -r 'recurse(.children[]) | .author + ": " + .text' | \
    llm -m "gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25" -s \
    'Summarize the themes of the opinions expressed here.
    For each theme, output a markdown header.
    Include direct "quotations" (with author attribution) where appropriate.
    You MUST quote directly from users when crediting them, with double quotes.
    Fix HTML entities. Output markdown. Go long. Include a section of quotes that illustrate opinions uncommon in the rest of the piece'
