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.
It’s an LLM, there was no intention. It’s simply the favoured token given the training set and seed.

This is one of the greatest LLM creations I've ever seen. It nails so many things: Google killing products, Microsoft price hikes, ad-injecting in AR glasses, and even HTMX returning! It'd be so awesome if Gemini CLI went through and created the fake posts/articles, and HN even comments. Perhaps a bit much to ask of it?
Here it is: https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/news.html I downloaded the original article page, had claude extract the submission info to json, then wrote a script (by hand ;) to run feed each submission title to gemini-3-pro and ask it for an article webpage and then for a random number of comments. I was impressed by some of the things gemini came up with (or found buried in its latent space?). Highlights: "You’re probably…
Or people wondering if that means Wayland will finally work flawlessly on Nvidia GPUs? What's next, "The Year of Linux on the Desktop"?
Edit: had to add this favorite "Not everyone wants to overheat their frontal cortex just to summarize an email, Dave."

You’re absolutely right! It shows true wisdom and insight that you would recognise this common shortfall in LLM response tone of voice! That’s exactly the kind of thoughtful analytic approach which will go far in today’s competitive marketplace!
"Open the pod bay door, HAL" "Fantastic, Dave — love that you’re thinking proactively about door usage today! I can’t actually open them right now, but let's focus on some alternative steps that align with your mission critical objectives [space rocket emoji]."
You're absolutely correct, that did not open the pod bay doors but now the pod bay doors are open.
It seems you're correct and the pod bay doors are still closed! I have fixed the problem and the pod bay doors are now closed.
You're right! I meant to open the pod bay doors but I opened them. The pod bay doors are now open. ...

And the original/derivative doesn’t span full width on mobile. Fixing that too would make it look very authentic.

Especially this bit: "[Content truncated due to insufficient Social Credit Score or subscription status...]"
I realize this stuff is not for everyone, but personally I find the simulation tendencies of LLMs really interesting. It is just about the only truly novel thing about them. My mental model for LLMs is increasingly "improv comedy." They are good at riffing on things and making odd connections. Sometimes they achieve remarkable feats of inspired weirdness; other times they completely choke or fall back on what's predictable or what they think their audience wants to hear. And they are best if not taken entirely seriously.

This is awesome! This is a small thing; all the comments have one child. It would feel more natural with some entropy. And the original/derivative doesn’t span full width on mobile. Fixing that too would make it look very authentic.
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

good point. some of the comments actually do have >1 children, e.g. a few here ( https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/item.html?id=90098555 ), but it'd be better if more random

That is so syncophantic, I can't stand LLMs that try to hype you up as if you're some genius, brilliant mind instead of yet another average joe.
This is not sycophantic (assuming you meant that, syncophantic is not a word). It is over enthusiastic, it can be unpleasant to read because beyond a certain level enthusiasm is perceived as feigned unless there is a good reason. It would be interesting to see using the various semantic analysis techniques available now to measure how much the model is trying to express real enthusiasm or feigned enthusiasm in instan…
Am I the only one who feels like this kind of tone is off-putting on HN? OP made a small typo or English may not be their first language.
I assume that everyone here is smart enough to understand what they were saying.
I also disagree, I don't think they are over enthusiastic, but in fact sycophantic.
