Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The only comment links an image from this site, a grandma sucking eggs, in a joke about recursive LLM prompts. The comment does not discuss the writing itself.
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.
Notes on AI, RL, systems, etc.
What Hacker News says?
Why hypothesize what our grandmas would say when we can ask GPT: you are a grandma sucking eggs recursively. Let's think step by step: 1. Take an egg in your mouth. 2. Suck the egg, swirling your tongue around it to extract the inside. 3. Spit out the empty eggshell. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 until all the eggs have been sucked. https://andykonwinski.com/assets/img/sucking-eggs-2.png
