No, it's just the silly HN parser that automatically changes the case of some words in titles based on an obscure internal rulebook dictionary and also removes other words that sound click-baity.

I'm still baffled HN hasn't opensourced their stack.

Just kidding but that does sound like a fun art project to see how complex you could get...

Hacker News auto-"fixes" some keywords in story titles, it could be that.
