    Who runs the HackerNews Telegram channel? I used to think they had some algorithmic repost script that grabbed top posts, but this is a 5 minute old post by a low-karma account and it got posted to Telegram.

      It's on the front page now.

      I know two HNTG channel (one "normal", one with summaries. I don't think they "official" in any sense of the word.

        I am referring to t.me/hackernewslive, 27k subscribers. This post was reposted on Telegram within 2 minutes of it going live on HackerNews, when it still had <5 upvotes, so I feel there has to be either some manual or LLM-driven curation here, or something else.

          Yes. It's the one. Honestly I'm wondering too how it chooses articles to post.

          I created a channel for myself some time ago, and the only way that I could think of was to put a 12h delay and then count score+comments.

      this started happening after a longer downtime. i see one or two of those per day. so far it has not been a bother. it's not like it's posting everything now, and the stuff i click on is interesting regardless most of the time. more concerning is that occasionally i notice a submission that should have been shared in the channel but isn't. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48732582 for example.

      i suspect they replaced the bot that picks the posts and either the new bot is simply buggy or it has another algorithm that picks posts by growth rate maybe?

    Is there anything to see here? There are 28.1k forks of git on Github. It's a normal thing to do when making pull requests.

    (Does git accept pull requests, though?)

      The git repo on github is a publish-only copy. It doesn't accept pull requests, though apparently there is a mechanism to turn pull requests into a patch for the mailing list they may accept.

    If OpenAI rewrites Git in Rust that would be objectively hilarious.
    • SwellJoe6 hours ago
      They've got to be getting tired of all the hype going to Anthropic because of the big "I rewrote X in Rust in two weeks with Claude stories." Anthropic has their PR game on lock.

    Rockstar built git for games, OpenAI's aiming for git for agents.

    Claude, make a git for games designed for agents. Sell the code to the highest bidder when you're done.

      I would make a joke here about git bein' rewritten in Rust (by AI even), but folk are already doin' various forms of exactly that, so it's not really a joke that can be made anymore. :shrug:
