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

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

  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.

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

  This is much better than I anticipated. I don't mind AI that much, but this version of HN surfaces really interesting articles I've missed.

  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.

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

  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

  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."

  Top article is about AI eliminating jobs, nice attempt tho

  Ironically, this is trivial to build with LLMs.

  Good idea but needs a stronger filter

  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

  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=excludeHN Frontpage minus AI: https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&ai=excludeYou may also like Small Web HN: https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&smallweb=include0: 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.

  Great use of AI

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

  I quite like this, particularly that the filter is just a preset! Will be back.Minor UI feedback - when navigating comments (and maybe other stuff) with the keyboard, the actual focus change is blocked behind some automated scroll behavior, and the effect is that someone quickly hitting keybinds will collapse the wrong thread. Would suggest making the focus change happen concurrently.

  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

  Finally, I am really sick of eye-based filtering AI trash

  Do you have one but only with AI? like, a toggle on what side to see?Edit: ah yes, sure it exists
• nonsensical_
  I prefer lobste.rs for this.

  i can't tell if the slop ui or the slop posts are worse
