That would miss a lot of posts. Here's how mine looks using my method: https://imgur.com/a/P1qMIok 9 out of 30 posts have been removed. Steps: Install uBlock Origin Lite. Then create a custom filter: news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a:has-text(/\b(?:A\.?I\.?|A\.?G\.?I\.?|LLMs?|GPTs?|TPU|NPU|RAG|MoE|RLHF|xAI)\b|Anthropic|agent|super-?intelligence|Blackwell|Cerebras|ChatGPT|Claude|Cohere|Command\s*R|Context\s*window…

"Cursor" and "Copilot" are generic words sadly that you may find in other unrelated contexts, I'd take these out, and "prompt" is regularly used in headlines regarding political news.

Oh no! Anyway...

It's closed to new users.

Not really, you can ask in the chat room for an invitation.

It's literally not recommended right on the About page, along the lines of "you shouldn't ask for invite right after joining, hang around chat instead". Well, I've checked it. They are talking about Trump something or other. None of those users I know at any level. So what's that "hanging out" entails then? Go invade a chat between acquaintances and randomly rant about Trump? Yeah, that will surely establish a good outlook, lol. And IRC is an extremely unfriendly way of talking to people, for newcomers. How does one even injects himself in a wall of messages between people talking about something live? I've never seriously used IRC because of that and I doubt I will learn that in the future.

This is a system which pretends to be open, but in reality, one needs to dance to some unwritten rules to some unknown users for unclear time. Meh...

Slow but necessary My interest in HN has decreased since it feels every other news is about AI However I'll use the other links provided here, as it takes 10s to display

HN reflects what their users (or people trying to influence them) post most. A few years ago it was flooded with crypto, a few years later it will be flooded with something else.

So what now? That's how you do it in real life too, don't you? Sure, real life isn't exactly IRC, hehe, but you get the point.

Can you also make one that filters out Rust ads? My interest in HN has decreased significantly since everyone is trying to spread Rust religion.

yes. you can make one that filters arbitrary topics.

here is the demo (best viewed on desktop): https://sprinklz.io/demo/hackerNews

as well as the main site: https://sprinklz.io

where you can build and save arbitrary feeds.

I'm open to suggestions. But I'm fairly sure that farming some ephemeral internet points in the unstructured real-time "forum" with a thousand participants in a single linear "topic" moderated with unwritten rules for months or years, all just to maybe get an invite to a yet another slightly better IT forum is the lowest possible priority on the internet for me. I have more quality content to read and watch than there is time. I would check it out if there was some sane registration process, maybe even a convoluted ones, with karma barriers, waitout times and limitations on the sub-forum access for newbies. But IRC? No, thanks. Discord scourge is annoying enough, and that is just worse Discord in every possible aspect.

Basically the hurdle is disproportionately absurd to the reward in this particular case.

how does it filter posts?

There's scope for an incredibly cheeky joke about AI here... but I'll hold myself back :)

Not sure what the joke is but I now see that I replied to the wrong comment, thanks
