Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link Rustam Miftakhutdinov's 2013 post on TAGE, a branch predictor design, as an overview of how such predictors work. One commenter notes it is dated.

HN discussionI guess it depends on how deep you want to go, I think the real predictors are based on publicly known algorithms such as TAGE. This seems to be nice overview: https://comparch.net/2013/06/30/why-tage-is-the-best/ (it's 2013, so definitely not SOTA, but advanced enough for my taste :) )
