In this case, there's an 11-hour old submission, but at only 6 comments, it's well below the threshold I (a non-privileged HN participant) usually call for dupes, that being ~20 comments.
So no, this is not a dupe.
Edit: For clarity, from the HN FAQ:
Are reposts ok?
If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates.
My point goes both ways: if you're linking a previous submission, indicate whether or not you think that the current submission is a dupe.
Otherwise your intent is unclear, and those of us who both flag dupes and try to see that legitimate submissions get a fair chance have to do extra work.
Generally, posting naked links is a poor practice. (There are occasional exceptions. They are rare.) You don't have to write a book, just make context / intent clear, as the examples I've linked show.

I know that repeated submissions are allowed, so I don't want to claim that it's a dupe. My intent is to link to existing comments, which could be interesting for the newcomers.

"Significant" is undefined. I've given my own threshold which AFAIU is roughly that which HN mods use. But I am not one of those mods.
