still prefer the simplicity of a reverse river, with a focus on votes and comments https://hckrnews.com/ its incredibly easy to immediately tell when something was posted, and how popular it was. there s no automagic rearranging or movement. similar to https://techmeme.com/river

Just a few high level points about how this works. It works in multiple stages: 1. I apply a domain and keyword filter to the feed 2. The content of the remaining articles are run twice daily through a Modern Bert-based classifier fine-tuned to detect AI-related content (~8000 training examples)[0]. It also filters out Github repos that contain AI authorship. My backend scans: - Commit messages for agent attribution - The contributor graph for agents - Repo files for instructions/configs RSS feed here: https://hcker.news/feeds/atom?period=day&ai=exclude HN Frontpage minus AI: https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&ai=exclude You may also like Small Web HN: https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&smallweb=include 0: The original workflow for this was a little different. For the better part of the past year, I had an AI agent detect AI-related stories and raise ~20 stories to me to make a judgement call on. After a while, a workflow like this just doesn't make sense when small models can do it equally as well. The training data is based on the machine and my labeling.

First post shown right now is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49659245 which is essentially an ad for an AI company. So I guess this will need further fine tuning.

There is also the hide button under every post, which I’ve started using generously. It only takes a few seconds to clean up the front page to your taste

You need to search deeper! Looking at the iPod 6G QEMU emulation story: > "With the help of Claude Code, I was able to create code to extract it using emCORE."
