Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

HN readers link this site for a hosted PDF paper on proton testing of Zynq chips, which reports terrestrial radiation upset rates for ICs. It is cited as a source in a thread on a muon detector.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

  3. You're absolutely insane and you need help. Seek professional advise from your school counsellor, if required. Below I wrote some paragraphs to help you. If you do this, someone should go, figure out who you are in real life and revoke your MBA. Or you should just request a refund of your $150k tuition. If you really work in top 3 tech firm, your colleagues are Stanford/Berkeley/MIT/CMU grads, who ate rice and ketch…

  9. Do you get any results that way? I either do something wrong, or it just doesn't work well for me: https://www.reddit.com/user/wkoszek/ Some of my stuff can be shit, but some articles did well at HN/LinkedIn and on Reddit I got 0 results.
