Importance uses amber (high), yellow (medium), and green (notable). Ranking uses source tier, outlet coverage, Hacker News buzz, and recency. Section size is dynamic: stories at or above 5.5 popularity are shown (at least 3 when available), up to 5 per section.
Source weight: Tier 3 = primary AI labs and official company sources; Tier 2 = major AI, technology, research, or mainstream news publications; Tier 1 = broader technology and business media. Tier affects ranking only; every story must still pass relevance and quality checks.
