I asked what's the best time to make a show HN post and got the below output.

When should you hit “Submit” on your Show HN? TL;DR The historical data say your odds of going viral improve when you post:

Saturday 18 UTC (≈ 2 PM US-Eastern, 11 AM US-Pacific)

Early Sunday 02 – 04 UTC (Saturday evening in the Americas)

Week-day late morning UTC, especially

Tuesday 11 – 15 UTC (7 – 11 AM US-Eastern)

Wednesday 15 UTC

Friday 12 – 14 UTC

These slots combine the highest average scores with a healthy number of past posts, meaning success isn’t due to just a few outliers.

This is not relevant to your point but I want to say that's an entirely third party project and we didn't even know about it for a long time. We don't publish data to them except in the sense that we publish it to everybody: https://github.com/HackerNews/API . I think their page gives a misleading impression that the project is somehow official, when it's not ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43850991 ).

Thanks for the clarification dang. I was misled by the listing which lists the author/publisher as "Y Combinator". Thanks for offering the official API.

I would like to add that the fact that there is an API does not mean that you as an API consumer have rights to the content that comes out of the API. Simplified, everyone participating on HN holds the copyright to the content they've created, so comments, submissions, etc, HN holds a perpetual license to that content, you don't hold any rights to it.

> I don't like being part of an AI dataset. This is understandable, but I'm sure all the HN comments have been a part of training dataset for many chatbots now. In fact, this is a gold mine of sane and valuable sanctuary of comments, so this must have been definitely helpful.

True, but I find it fairly offensive that my own data is being sold back to me. If it was free I'd be more tolerant. They say the model is costly and I believe it, but what exactly are the margins here? I feel like I've been recruited into some lame hustle.

Its not the paint you are buying, its the painting.

Feedback: I really don't want to give out my email for this. I'm already signed up to enough junk. I've never felt the need to query HN before so while this might be entertaining it's not enough for me to create an account. Also on a personal note, even though I know every comment I make is public and indexed etc. etc. I find this kind of creepy. I don't like being part of an AI dataset.

Setup a burner Gmail account, e.g overgard.saas@gmail.com. Use this with Google login for all the AI tools out there. Then transfer to your more trusted account when you're ready to be a long time, paying customer.
