Ask HN: Am I the only one here who can't stand HN's AI obsession?(ycombinator.com) I can't really explain why, but I find the recent AI developments, articles and news stories totally boring and lame. I can understand why people get excited with generative AI that can transform a text into an image etc, but otherwise the benefits of so called AI are completely lost on me, and all those AI articles on HN are just noise to me.
Ask HN: Will HN ever have a dark mode?(ycombinator.com) It's one of those sites that I frequently visit and get a glaring screen in my face when switching tabs. Just wanted to know if this feature is ever going to be available. I mean it's 2025!

How to get upvoted on Hacker News(towardsdatascience.com) Hacker News regularly publishes a dataset to Kaggle. As I looked at my posts go dying quickly down the “new” section, I wondered what was the relationship between score and how long the story was remaining in the visible portion of the “new” section, raising the probability of upvote.
Ask HN: Does Hacker News consist mostly of real people?(ycombinator.com) I'm curious about how the community operates, how much of the engagement is genuine, and whether there are any bots or automation in discussions. I'd love to hear insights from those who've been part of this community for a while!
