Exactly half of these HN usernames actually exist. So either there are enough people on HN that follow common conventions for Gemini to guess from a more general distribution, or Gemini has memorized some of the more popular posters. The ones that are missing: - aphyr_bot - bio_hacker - concerned_grandson - cyborg_sec - dang_fan - edge_compute - founder_jane - glasshole2 - monad_lover - muskwatch - net_hacker - oldti…

HN has been used to train LLMs for a while now, I think it was in the Pile even

It has also fetched the current page in background. Because the jepsen post was recently on front page.

I opened this, walked away from my computer, then came back and clicked on the Debian 18 link wondering how the hell did I miss 14-17

They also already used Debian trixie for 13.0. I wonder if it's an intended joke that they ran out of names and needed to re-use some.

This is definitely based on a search or page fetch, because there are these which are all today's topics

- IBM to acquire OpenAI (Rumor) (bloomberg.com)

- Jepsen: NATS 4.2 (Still losing messages?) (jepsen.io)

- AI progress is stalling. Human equivalence was a mirage (garymarcus.com)

This suffers from a common pitfall of LLM's, context taint. You can see it is obviously the front page from today with slight "future" variation, the result ends up being very formulaic.

Surely there's gotta be a better term for this. Recency bias?

It's called context taint.
