I have seen this question asked on subreddits, Not about AI, but for other topics that some people dislike. They always seem to take the form of "Should we divide this group into A and B, A stays here and B goes over there and that way everybody is happy" Invariably the person who proposes this wants to remain in group A and will not be a participant in group B. To me this seems like the subtext is "Those people are…

These should not be deemed equivalent.

So I have to stay up to date on AI stories just to know what buzzwords I should filter so I don't see AI stories?

Sounds to me like you want a deeper version of this that uses AI instead of keywords to help filter out AI stories.

Lol, yup. See azath92 comment - https://www.hackernews.coffee/

I built you this: https://tools.simonwillison.net/hacker-news-filtered It shows you the Hacker News page with ai and llm stories filtered out. You can change the exclusion terms and save your changes in localStorage. o3 knocked it out for me in a couple of minutes: https://chatgpt.com/share/68766f42-1ec8-8006-8187-406ef452e0... Initial prompt was: Build a web tool that displays the Hacker News homepage (fetched from…

Now that's impressive. I've worked with and managed many humans and almost never do I get want I want back in one prompt.

Even ones with detailed specs and the human agreed to them don't come back exactly as written.

Great example of the power of vibe coding. The first item is literally "Kiro: A new agentic IDE".

There is literally an input box to put terms you want to exclude... The prompt asks for "filters out specific search terms", not "intelligently filter out any AI-related keywords." So yes, a good example of the power of vibe coding: the LLM built a tool according to the prompt.

The prompt was to exclude llm and ai by default though

You mean, blockchain and everything else?

Oh, sorry, wrong hype cycle.

Currently, for me on the front page, there is 10/30 AI/LLM related. It means you have 20/30 that is not about AI/LLM. 1 of them is blockchain btw.

Typical HN, 1/3 hype, 1/3 less hype tech, 1/3 other. AI is the current hype.

People who are a little late to the site may not know there was a time on HN where Erlang has even more frontage submission than the best of AI / LLM. Ruby Rails, Postgres, SQLite, Rust, etc. They all have their moments and I dont think LLM right now is as overwhelming as any other hyped moments. Certainly not Erlang.

I miss the days of daily Haskell posts.
