Is it me, or have HN submissions gotten shorter and shorter recently? At this rate, top-scoring articles will consist of a single word in a few years.

No, there is something intellectual gratifying about short pieces that contain so much depth and layers the more you think about them.

It is not the length of a price of writing that determines how good it is, the same way lines of code does not an effective program make. To be able to say a lot with fewer words is impressive

I'd rather have a short article than a short article that was fed into an LLM to be expanded into a long one that says very little.

But yeah, when I seek truly "intellectually gratifying" material I usually log off of HN and read a book.

Could be worse. They could have padded this out a ton with emojis and dashes.

This title makes you want to click the article. Other titles that give away the lede influence people to just directly hit the comments section

It's already about 85%: (Look at) me - with charts. We can replace those with TikTok dances instead.

Twitter submissions have been a thing for a long time here

There’s basically no content in that one

At least this one has reasonable content

What little content is in that one is a quote by a fraudster.

Let me LLM-expand that for you…

Yes.
