Hug of death?
chilipepperhott•30m ago
yep. standby

A lot of demand for ‘Sans AI’ :)
almogo•19m ago
Probably by bots :)

Our AI overlords don't want an AI-free Hacker News

Interesting this keeps moving up the front page when the site is inaccessible because it's hosted on a baked potato.
kylecazar•15m ago
I'm curious to find out if they're using a model to detect AI content. I'd be more amused than disappointed. But, alas, potato.
chilipepperhott•14m ago
It's not an LLM.

Why use big program when regex do trick?

But I like using em-dashes?

I got a partial load and what it looks like it does is just search each submission for a list of key words and discards any that hits, so it would discard this submission.
chilipepperhott•10m ago
I would argue that in a small way, this post _is_ about AI, so it wouldn't be a false positive.

Was hoping it was a new font.

I 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

How often do you use it?

Immediately I started thinking how nice it would be to use natural language to have LLMs generate a deterministic filter for stories matching content I DO care about, filtered from New. Instead of filtering it out.

I 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.

chilipepperhott•7m ago
Hopefully fixed the cache invalidation. I'm crossing my fingers.
henriquemaia•6m ago
I've been training to naturally ignore AI mentions that I thought this entry was about some HN ui font change (Sans).
flexagoon•3m ago
I've been thinking of making something like this for myself for quite a while now, glad I'm not the only one who had the idea and someone actually did it before I got to it
pkage•3m ago
The filter doesn't appear to be perfect, one of the top posts right now is "My Agent Skill for Test-Driven Development"
chilipepperhott•13m ago
Yep. My single core Proxmox machine sitting in my living room with horrible cache invalidation is struggling.

Sounds like a great use case for serving plain HTTP over cloudflare tunnel. Why terminate TLS when you don't have to?

73% of users vote prior to reading TFA, according to this research. (I am often guilty of this myself)
