Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked for writeups on git bayesect, a Bayesian approach to git bisection for non-deterministic bugs, covering examples and the underlying math.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussiongit bisect works great for tracking down regressions, but relies on the bug presenting deterministically. But what if the bug is non-deterministic? Or worse, your behaviour was always non-deterministic, but something has changed, e.g. your tests went from somewhat flaky to very flaky. In addition to the repo linked in the title, I also wrote up a little bit of the math behind it here: https://hauntsaninja.github.io/…
