tl;dr: Hacker Times reformats Hacker News front-page stories as New York Times-style headlines and blurbs, grouping items like an MIT CSAIL report on GPT-6 Astra editing neural network weights, Karpathy's HackerTube video library, and a PostgreSQL release delay tied to AI-generated bug reports. Other featured threads cover privacy-respecting TVs, website archiving tools, a voxel model of Warsaw, and browser-based Vim practice exercises.
HN Discussion:
  • ~Similar projects already exist, suggesting this isn't novel
  • ↑Appreciates the design details like the Manufacturing Consent font choice
  • ↓Questions the value since NYT's worth is journalism, not UI; a browser extension would suffice
  • ↓Dislikes mimicking the clickbait online NYT rather than the classic print edition
  • ↑Enjoys the improved readability and story separation compared to HN's dense layout
