> You may have heard differently, especially if you saw my doxxing[4b] on the unsavory website. Is it pretty common to get doxxed for getting to the top of HN?

It is not. But if you show HN something... and it makes HN-reading KF users think "OH EXPLOITABLE!!!111!" so they post it to KF... they're basically going to test if your moderation works or not. If you only have some automated rules or even "AI" as the moderation, not humans, then they're very quickly going to work out what gets past your automated filter and what doesn't, faster than 4chan can make Microsoft's Tay…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The only potential risk I see with anonymous voting is some 4chaner is apt to create a bunch of fish with horrific names and use distributed IPs to upvote them to the top. I guess regular moderation could filter that out.

IP based breaks users with CGNAT and people connecting from corporate networks In those cases you'd be denied votes since someone else used them up

The first case would be an issue yes, although this app doesn't exactly strike me as something that an insane amount of people would be connecting to from corporate networks

You can also upvote any fish without auth, limit is 20 votes per minute per IP POST https://fishes-be-571679687712.northamerica-northeast1.run.a... {"fishId":"xxxx","vote":"up"}

That's actually intentional desgin - I think you can like a fish a little or like a fish a lot, and therefore should be able to upvote/downvote to your hearts content :)

You write with such whimsy, absolutely delightful :)

Being marketed by who? Be specific.

“Be specific.” Am I the only one that feels like it’s really condescending when people say this on the internet? It sounds like something you would see on a community college writing assignment

It does sound condescending. I think the sentiment is important though. Asking someone to be specific can help them think clearly. What’s a nicer way to do that?

Imagine that, hackers reading Hacker News.

On the allure of vide coding the author says, > It is really fun to just have high velocity, and it is really fun to not do code reviews and to just push stuff. Was slurfish fun? Looks like if you don't like doing deep and thorough code reviews, LLM-generated code is not for you. As the author concludes, "...LLMs are a tool. They let you generate a lot of code really fast...it is up to you to review it"

>Was slurfish fun?

Yes.
