Hacker News Reader

Some cool uses for this:

- Remove AI and Crypto from HN https://histre.com/hn/?tags=+all-ai-cryptocurrency

- Don't miss any Lisp news https://histre.com/hn/?tags=+emacs+lisp

It seems pretty remarkable to me that despite how relevant and ubiquitous AI is becoming (e.g. generative search is coming to Google soon, and from their latest I/O conf it's clearly a big part of nearly all other G products), Hacker News discussions on the topic are of such low quality that it's desirable to block them out entirely. Any sufficiently advanced technology discussion is indistinguishable from tragic.

Maybe its the quantity, not the quality that makes it desireable to filter it out. I have examples where I’ve filtered highly actual news just because its so taxing to be constantly reminded of it.

It's just like the goddamn metaverse.

Since it is strongly tied into crypto shenanigans, now that we're in a crypto slump the discussions have (mercifully) slowed down. AI is still in its current hype cycle, and it will take some time for the next "winter".

slump hype-wise maybe, but market is doing surprisingly well.
