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.", "body_md": "| 1. | [Why get an expensive Pi when I have an old phone?](https://so.long.thanks.fish/why-pi-when-i-have-an-old-phone/) ([so.long.thanks.fish](https://so.long.thanks.fish/why-pi-when-i-have-an-old-phone/) ) | \n|  | 217 points by casi \\| [144 comments](./item?id=50440709) \\|[3 gold · 82% bullshit](./item?id=50440709) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50440709) | \n|  | \n| 2. | [Generative AI uses more energy on non-English text](https://news.umich.edu/generative-ai-uses-more-energy-on-non-english-text/) ([news.umich.edu](https://news.umich.edu/generative-ai-uses-more-energy-on-non-english-text/) ) | \n|  | 24 points by DeepLogin \\| [13 comments](./item?id=50441444) \\|[1 gold · 92% bullshit](./item?id=50441444) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50441444) | \n|  | \n| 3. | [Ggml v1.0.0](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/releases/tag/v1.0.0) ([github.com/ggml-org](https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml/releases/tag/v1.0.0) ) | \n|  | 325 points by cobychapple \\| [36 comments](./item?id=50493062) \\|[1 gold · 86% bullshit](./item?id=50493062) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50493062) | \n|  | \n| 4. | [Monkey Island: all 13 versions side by side](https://monkeyisland.pages.dev/) ([monkeyisland.pages.dev](https://monkeyisland.pages.dev/) ) | \n|  | 265 points by maximilianburke \\| [83 comments](./item?id=50493904) \\|[0 gold · 87% bullshit](./item?id=50493904) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50493904) | \n|  | \n| 5. | [Tech Companies Are Trying to Shift the Concept of Privacy (Again)](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/11/tech-companies-are-trying-shift-entire-concept-privacy-again) ([eff.org](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/11/tech-companies-are-trying-shift-entire-concept-privacy-again) ) | \n|  | 62 points by gslin \\| [8 comments](./item?id=50496602) \\|[0 gold · 100% bullshit](./item?id=50496602) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50496602) | \n|  | \n| 6. | [Let&No. x27;s Write a PostScript Interpreter](https://beyondloom.com/blog/postscript.html) ([beyondloom.com](https://beyondloom.com/blog/postscript.html) ) | \n|  | 25 points by RebelPotato \\| [6 comments](./item?id=50478632) \\|[0 gold · 100% bullshit](./item?id=50478632) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50478632) | \n|  | \n| 7. | [Nvidia allegedly engineered scarcity by funding AI startups to buy its GPUs](https://www.techpowerup.com/354814/nvidia-allegedly-engineered-scarcity-by-funding-ai-startups-to-buy-its-gpus) ([techpowerup.com](https://www.techpowerup.com/354814/nvidia-allegedly-engineered-scarcity-by-funding-ai-startups-to-buy-its-gpus) ) | \n|  | 794 points by speckx \\| [466 comments](./item?id=50493251) \\|[28 gold · 79% bullshit](./item?id=50493251) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50493251) | \n|  | \n| 8. | [Unsloth Qwen3.8-27B Quantizations – Dynamic v3.1 Update](https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.8) ([unsloth.ai](https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.8) ) | \n|  | 196 points by Retro_Dev \\| [55 comments](./item?id=50491980) \\|[2 gold · 71% bullshit](./item?id=50491980) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50491980) | \n|  | \n| 9. | [Terminal borders that don&No. x27;t cost a cell](https://www.joshka.net/cell-borders/) ([joshka.net](https://www.joshka.net/cell-borders/) ) | \n|  | 328 points by vinhnx \\| [144 comments](./item?id=50491423) \\|[6 gold · 83% bullshit](./item?id=50491423) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50491423) | \n|  | \n| 10. | [FAA issues national ground stop – lifted 4.5 hours later](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/faa-orders-nationwide-ground-stop-departing-flights-reasons-safety-rcna609247) ([nbcnews.com](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/faa-orders-nationwide-ground-stop-departing-flights-reasons-safety-rcna609247) ) | \n|  | 1587 points by zulln \\| [1,125 comments](./item?id=50489641) \\|[47 gold · 86% bullshit](./item?id=50489641) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50489641) | \n|  | \n| 11. | [The curious case of the north-east arrow](https://arsh.zip/posts/north-east-arrow/) ([arsh.zip](https://arsh.zip/posts/north-east-arrow/) ) | \n|  | 18 points by arshxyz \\| [8 comments](./item?id=50466069) \\|[0 gold · 100% bullshit](./item?id=50466069) \\|[hn](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50466069) | \n|  | \n| 12. | [Jonathan Blow – If AI solved coding, why is my software still the same?
