Great use of AI

This one actually works: https://elijahpotter.dev/hnsansai

still prefer the simplicity of a reverse river, with a focus on votes and comments https://hckrnews.com/ its incredibly easy to immediately tell when something was posted, and how popular it was. there s no automagic rearranging or movement. similar to https://techmeme.com/river

For Hacker News without AI, can I suggest the domain of news.ycombntor.com ?

Just a few high level points about how this works. It works in multiple stages: 1. I apply a domain and keyword filter to the feed 2. The content of the remaining articles are run twice daily through a Modern Bert-based classifier fine-tuned to detect AI-related content (~8000 training examples)[0]. It also filters out Github repos that contain AI authorship. My backend scans: - Commit messages for agent attribution - The contributor graph for agents - Repo files for instructions/configs RSS feed here: https://hcker.news/feeds/atom?period=day&ai=exclude HN Frontpage minus AI: https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&ai=exclude You may also like Small Web HN: https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&smallweb=include 0: The original workflow for this was a little different. For the better part of the past year, I had an AI agent detect AI-related stories and raise ~20 stories to me to make a judgement call on. After a while, a workflow like this just doesn't make sense when small models can do it equally as well. The training data is based on the machine and my labeling.

The first link is about HuggingFace, lmao.

First post shown right now is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49659245 which is essentially an ad for an AI company. So I guess this will need further fine tuning.

If you prefer something closer to the original layout: https://www.unslop.news/

Do you have one but only with AI? like, a toggle on what side to see? Edit: ah yes, sure it exists

This feels like trying to do "Hacker News, without 'the Internet.'"

There is also the hide button under every post, which I’ve started using generously. It only takes a few seconds to clean up the front page to your taste

Top story: huggingface

This is like; during a war, when you just want to read the news without anything about the war :D

You need to search deeper! Looking at the iPod 6G QEMU emulation story: > " With the help of Claude Code, I was able to create code to extract it using emCORE. "

I prefer lobste.rs for this.

We just did this last month; Stick to sharing your thing in the current thread today: Ask HN: Can we please limit the AI news flood? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49657850

Hacker News, without AI needs to be a plugin for Firefox - I don´t really want to use two pages at the same time.

Here is an approach to filtering LLM written content: https://hnslop.nilsherzig.com/ Instead of filtering keywords this ranks the content using Pangram. But it's also pretty effective at filtering content about AI. Turns out that a lot of LLM tooling projects have LLM written project descriptions/blog posts. It's amazing to see how many of the "AI hurts my brain" posts are apparently written by an LLM.

Is it still hacker news if you manipulate the listing based on your own bias? I suppose it depends on what point of view we answer from. It is very hacker-newsery to make something like this
