Which timeline do you have in mind? I look at HN pretty often and it's almost entirely a forum of not-finance full of posts and comments on not-finance topics. A simpler and more plausible theory is that HN has many nerds whose views you disagree with.

playing chess well was seen as a great marker of AI

Was it? Alpha-beta pruning is from 1957 they had a decent idea chess of what human-beating computer chess would be like and that it probably wasn't some pathway to Turing-test-beating AI.

pvg··on Otto Hahn

He comes up in any general audience book about the science of the period or the atomic bomb or who-deserved-what-Nobel-prize, etc. Here's a recent play, just on first google

pvg··on Otto Hahn

He's a very famous scientist as is his collaborator Lise Meitner. 'Unsung' might be a bit of a 'new to you', in this case.

pvg··on Ask HN: Why doesn't HN have notifications for replies?

Some internet forums, lots of others have done without. Either way, the idea you can't have a forum without it isn't quite right given that HN has outlasted most.

pvg··on Ask HN: Is internet hobby tech dead?

I don't think you misrepresenting the period in bombastic terms for effect provides sustenance or requires counter-arguments because it's just you misrepresenting the period in bombastic terms for effect. I think the advice of not taking a sequence of Manichean tropes and slogans too much to heart remains pretty useful!

pvg··on Ask HN: Is internet hobby tech dead?

It's grim because it's mostly a made up, self-centered, apocalyptic view of the world - great in one's youth and now fallen. I think your other instinct - 'maybe I'm just getting old' is truer, and better - that doesn't have to be nearly as grim as the coping-mechanism-cum-manifesto in the GP comment would have you believe.
