#52Same way as always. Open the page, glance down it to see if there's anything that interests me, hit hide on the domains that I never want to see anything from. Lather, rinse, repeat. But I'm guessing you have more of a FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) kind of problem, which admittedly I don't have. However, you could look at something using RSS, maybe in combination with an agent told to find and show articles based on som…

For me same as always also.
My "same way" is the HN RSS feed. RSS is the best.
Goes straight to my email and I skim the headlines, click on the ones that seem interesting.

#54A quick occasional glance through https://serializer.io/ has been serving me well for a few years now!

#55Fyi, https://hcker.news/ has an "AI" filter... and RSS feeds too.

#56This is a very apt right now. The amount of AI posts is... boring to say the least. I've always used the comments to upvotes ratio to workout if an article is worth reading. If the comments are higher than the upvotes, it's poor. Vice versa it's worth looking into. I skip all AI posts.
How is it boring? There's such a wider variety of things! (or are you saying you fond the category itself is boring?)
No one wants to read stuff produced by AI or for people using AI.

#57Use hckrnews.com
Browsing by time is easier rather than popularity. There's no FOMO if you can't keep up, just scan the latest headlines and if it catches your eye click it.

But then what would mean AI integrating into coding would be impossible? How do you resolve that with your view? We should ban AI coding?

#59I don't. Most things don't matter.
Like the news, you'll find out; except it'll be through Slack channels or co-workers or maybe even IRC channels, as opposed to HN.

Don't worry, you will be fine.
Happy HN'ing!

#60I've made a bot[0] for HN that posts whatever enters the top 10, summarizes it with AI and posts it on textlog[1], and so I get the fresh news like little summary notes and decide if it's worth my time. Bonus is I receive a notification on my phone because I follow it. [0]: https://github.com/stagas/hn10 [1]: https://textlog.cc/u/hn10
Have you tried building a bot to filter out just the best of the best from that bot? Or just recursion?
