Show HN: Epistemic News – re-ranking HN comments

A Show HN submission titled "Epistemic News" presents a re-ranked list of Hacker News comments that scores each discussion thread with a "gold" count and a "bullshit" percentage, such as 28 gold and 79% bullshit for the Nvidia GPU scarcity story and 47 gold and 86% bullshit for the FAA national ground stop item. The ranking, posted to Hacker News, surfaces items including GGML v1.0.0 at 325 points and the Nvidia story at 794 points, attaching a credibility estimate to each thread's comment section. The tool's scoring labels rate discussions on how much of the commentary is judged substantive versus noise.
