#12Feature request: HN could support a tag or label for categorizing a post. This would allow for filtering trivially, and creating views based on participant interest.
I don't know if you're allowed to promote alternatives to HN, but Lobste.rs has tags which you can follow or completely block. Plus I've found the quality of the discussion is higher than HN, at the cost of much lower quantity.

#13No, will go away just like all the crypto stuff - remember that time? - went away.

#14No, it is not time to fork HN into AI/LLM and "Everything else/other".
I enjoy the website as-is, and simply use search when I want to get to the topics that interest me.

#15Vibe code a browser extension that uses a cheap LLM to filter out content that you don't want to see.
Re: Ask HN: Is it time to fork HN into AI/LLM and "Everything else/other?"
#16No for three reasons.
One, lets be honest, hn wont do it, part of their secret sauce is that they don't change, and they know that.
Two, fragmenting the community would just reduce engagement and risk making both feel like a ghost town.
Three, LLMs are (one of) the forefronts of our industry. State of the art is advancing fast. It has properties that no one knows the best practises for. And it has implications that are wide ranging. To try and bury this because it has a lot of new developments goes against why most of us are on this site.
I believe in the meritocracy of the upvote button.

#17Maybe we could fork it into technical discussions and complaints about technical discussions.

#18My experience with HackerNews would be significantly improved if I could exclude the LLM-related stuff... it's overwhelming.

#19curious, couldn't AL/llm related content also have interesting new information? im not referring to ai generated sloppy articles. more so the deep tech behind it. personally im super interested in machine learning and love it when i come across such links here.
From time to time, you find something AI/LLM related that is interesting. Like the people trying to save money by speeding up their audio before submitting for transcription. Not only did it save money, but improved accuracy. It's those kinds of finds that are interesting in the hacker sense. Increasing the number of tokens at a certain point has a negative affect. Okay, someone is taking that hacker ethos to see what happens when the knobs are twisted. Showing me yet another image manipulation tool or new chat bot? Yawn. Next.

That is a perennial proposal as far as I remember.
