#62The filter doesn't appear to be perfect, one of the top posts right now is "My Agent Skill for Test-Driven Development"
I guess they could run the titles through a (flash) LLM to catch ones were keyword detection won't cut it. Have to love the irony. :)
At least the blog post was proofread by an AI.

#63Okay, now filter out the VC stuff too...

#64I can deal with a launch problem. I am looking forward to being able to check it out. I stopped coming to HN as often as I used to because there has been too much AI talk. It's like a dang AI subreddit. I don't want anything to do with AI. I have lost 2 jobs to AI budgets and stupid executive decisions. It's no longer part of my personal and professional life. I hope it works out.

I agree with you, but haven't really left yet since there's still a good amount of discourse outside AI related topics. Seems a significant amount of contributors here are all to eager to fall over themselves putting themselves, their juniors, children, and colleagues out of work, long term.
TBH, I'm mostly here out of spite at this point. It's unhealthy but I can't seem to stop rage-reading.

Would love to hear more detail about the job losses you mentioned, if you are willing to share.
Re: Hacker News, Sans AI
#67Maybe HN could have a filter button that hides ANY threads for keywords you choose to filter.
I would instantly hide anything about Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos.

It’s interesting how, as someone more pro-AI, I feel the exact opposite way - every comment thread just devolves into people saying AI is stupid (OK, perhaps modulo new model releases from frontier labs, those tend to be fairly positive). Like we had a thread about what your AI workflow is and people were coming in and saying they didn’t have one because AI is bad. Really? Do these people enter threads about what your favorite Rust library is and say they don’t have any and Rust is a bad language?

#69Earlier quoted context omitted.
73% of users vote prior to reading TFA, according to this research. (I am sometimes guilty of this myself) We live in a world being dimished by confirmation bias, but this isn't a new thing. Those who wrote/approved the headlines always had more power than those who wrote the articles. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315096490_Consumers... edit: disclaimer, no hate on TFA. Just responding to the comment.
73% of Reddit users vote prior to reading TFA: > In the present work, we introduce and make available a new dataset containing the activity logs that recorded all activity for 309 Reddit users for one year.
n=309 is better than n=1, but yeah...
However, tracking over a year might make the subject forget about the whole thing, and act naturally. As far as HN vs Reddit, not much difference really. I mean that as more props to reddit users than anything against HNers.

Yes. And Rust people enter threads about other languages and projects not written in Rust and say they're bad because they aren't Rust. Welcome to Hacker News.
