Some cool uses for this: - Remove AI and Crypto from HN https://histre.com/hn/?tags=+all-ai-cryptocurrency - Don't miss any Lisp news https://histre.com/hn/?tags=+emacs+lisp

It seems pretty remarkable to me that despite how relevant and ubiquitous AI is becoming (e.g. generative search is coming to Google soon, and from their latest I/O conf it's clearly a big part of nearly all other G products), Hacker News discussions on the topic are of such low quality that it's desirable to block them out entirely. Any sufficiently advanced technology discussion is indistinguishable from tragic.

Maybe its the quantity, not the quality that makes it desireable to filter it out. I have examples where I’ve filtered highly actual news just because its so taxing to be constantly reminded of it.

It's just like the goddamn metaverse.

Since it is strongly tied into crypto shenanigans, now that we're in a crypto slump the discussions have (mercifully) slowed down. AI is still in its current hype cycle, and it will take some time for the next "winter".

I would prefer to have crowdsourced user-written tags instead of AI. That would let us make genuinely useful tags, like "author is an ignoramus" or "article takes ten pages to get to the point." More of a SponsorBlock for web links.

Congrats on making into HN. I like histre, and it has huge potential as a general tagging, and annotation manager for the web. If two way sync can be imagined, for e.g. I use histre extension, and someone else has automatically tagged a link or page, I am visiting, I will find categorization useful when I am reading the page. Histre should be transparent, and yet in front of everything as it can used to annotate a shared history.

Congrats and keep going! :)

Thank you so much Senthil! I really appreciate that. I agree that collective knowledge management has so much potential, yet to be unlocked.

I like that. In fact I did consider it, but I figured AI tags would be a good starting point as it doesn't have the two-sided marketplace / chicken-and-egg problem. Perhaps there's a way to do that on top of this.

Why is "Tesla cancels Model S and Model X deliveries in Australia and other RHD markets" labelled simply as "news". I would tag Tesla, cancellation, Australia, markets. "New Directions in Cloud Programming [pdf]" is labelled pdf, programming. Should also include "cloud". "EU's Cyber Resilience Act contains a poison pill" is tagged "security", should include "legislation", "opensource".

Also "I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter" (current front-page) is tagged 'javascript', which isn't particularly relevant.

Would love to know how it decided it was JavaScript-related.

When that page was fetched using the Python requests library, it returned

    JavaScript is not available.

slump hype-wise maybe, but market is doing surprisingly well.
