Ask HN: Why is there such little political discourse on HN at the moment?
(ycombinator.com)
Seems like there are few stories or comments around the many tech related issues regarding DEI, investments, company pivots, trade, and geo-political territories. Not that there should be more, but it seems like there is less.

Ask HN: Are you tired of all LLM posts on HN?
(ycombinator.com)
I'm something of an LLM researcher myself, but there's just too many LLM-related posts on HN imo. Almost anything with the word "LLM" in the title finds its way to the front page, while other actually programming/hacker-related posts get ignored.

Ask HN: Can Hacker News Stay Above Politics?

@dang does an admirable job moderating this platform. However, the growing overlap between the political stances of prominent technologists and the entanglement of tech with U.S. politics makes it increasingly difficult to separate the two.
