Pretty funny how the top story there references A.I.!

Since /front is a ranked union of all the stories that were on the frontpage over 24 hours, here's an actual snapshot too:

And then lower down we have TensorFlow 0.6.0 release.

I was considering using this feature the other day to try to get a sense of what AI discourse was like circa 2019. It all blends together after a while. I ended up doing a Twitter search for "GPT-2" ending 2019-12-31, but that's a little more specific than I want.

The HN past feature is an excellent way of seeing snapshots of history, and I wish more sites had things like this. I guess I should Archive.org a little more money.
