Ask HN: Is it time to fork HN into AI/LLM and "Everything else/other?"

1. hn-search

   1 2,423 614 2.9 TypeScript

   Discontinued Hacker News Search

   

   Can you link to some specific examples of low-quality discussions?

   As with any Major Ongoing Topic on HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), the goal is to reserve frontpage space for the higher-quality stories and try to downweight the follow-ups and low-quality ones. We can't do this perfectly, of course, but we try.

3. tools

   2 35 1,728 9.8 HTML

   Assorted useful tools, almost entirely generated using LLMs (by simonw)

   

   I released the source: https://github.com/simonw/tools/blob/main/hacker-news-filter... (Apache 2 licensed) and a commit history listing the prompts I used. https://github.com/simonw/tools/commits/main/hacker-news-fil...

   I don't think I need a privacy policy since the app is designed so that nothing gets logged anywhere - it works by hitting the Algolia API directly from your browser, but the filtering happens locally and is stored in localStorage so nobody on earth has the ability to see what you filtered.

   The API it uses is https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page - which is presumably logged somewhere (covered by Algolia's privacy policy) but doesn't serve any cookies.

   > Why do you do these demos if you aren't upfront about all the things the LLMs didn't do?

   What do you mean by that?

4. Lobsters

   3 318 4,690 9.8 Ruby

   Computing-focused community centered around link aggregation and discussion

   

   This is why https://lobste.rs/ and reddit have tags/subreddits in a nutshell. They get too big and people want seperation.

   >Hanging out on the "new" page and upvoting quality non-AI articles is an effective method of resistance.

   I hang out in /ask and /asknew for my part.

   PS: Hey, Paul... When are you going to close my 2021 issue[0], you already merged my pull request[1] :D

   Come on, man!
