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.

#92I built a filter for AI (inclusive and exclusive) for hcker.news a while back and continue to maintain it. It’s quite robust, and does more than just keyword filtering. https://hcker.news/?ai=exclude
Thanks, love it!
I'm now wondering, what the default filter of https://hckrnews.com/ is exactly. I can't seem to get the same result on https://hcker.news/ ....
:/

...so i think its just a cumulative view of the Hacker News front page, except grouped/ordered differently? ¯\_(ツ)_/
Re: Hacker News, Sans AI
#94I've been training to naturally ignore AI mentions that I thought this entry was about some HN ui font change (Sans).
The style is a bit off for the usual HN fare: 'sans' should be lowercase here, or otherwise it's easy to confuse for a font. It's still pretty swell :)
> The style is a bit off
A much better option, in my opinion: https://hcker.news/?ai=exclude

> 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? 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.
If you can find me even a single example of this I’d love to see it.
The rsync thread has the requisite comment saying a Rust rewrite would fix everything.

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.
My personal stance is that the genie is out of the bottle, and there's likely no putting it back. Kind of like nuclear weapons: I wish they didn't exist, but since they do I'd rather be on the side that has them. Honestly it's an incredible technology the likes of which I never thought I would see in my lifetime. It's definitely not perfect, but it is improving at a frightening pace. Some days I am optimistic for how…
> Kind of like nuclear weapons
True, but you're not being bombarded 24/7 with irrelevant -- and most likely false -- information about nuclear weapons.

#97I built (well, vibe-coded) a version of this a while back that runs against the Hacker News API, it's static HTML on GitHub Pages so I don't have to run a server for it: https://tools.simonwillison.net/hacker-news-filtered
It is a little ironic coming from the most prolific AI poster here

You can get the best of both worlds with a small embedding model
Show me an embedding model that runs as fast as an optimized regex engine and I'll buy you a beer.
Probably not as fast as a simple regex but static embedding models can get stupid fast e.g https://www.flowercomputer.com/news/fast-static-embedding/
Re: Hacker News, Sans AI
#99Great idea. But the first thread I opened (Nordstjernen 1.0) is according to the comments about a project built with Claude. So it doesn't remove all the AI stuff.

Yeah, that doesn't work either. E.g. it has the following stories:
- Nordstjernen 1.0 (built with Claude)
- Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
