Hacker News Reader

I've been trying to do this on my blog. Here's my AI tag: https://simonwillison.net/tags/ai/

FWIW, and to answer the OP's question, I think yours and Ethan Mollick's blogs and social media accounts are the best sources for AI news right now. I've been trying to find more sources myself and, other than a few good but highly technical ones that don't focus on actual LLM use (e.g. Jeremy Howard), have bern coming up short.

Thanks for this! IMHO it's a bit wall-of-text (or maybe that's the weakened attention span). Ever considered present just headlines like a certain tech news site?

Yeah, that's a very reasonable improvement I should make. My homepage is modeled after https://daringfireball.net/ and has been for the past 20-ish years, but it's time I redesigned that to better reflect my content I think.

Seems fine via feed reader but in my case, DF is pretty much the only thing I consistently read via feeds since Google Reader was axed... :-)

Please don't make that "improvement". This presentation is, and signals, real content instead of content mill.

Perhaps feature a selected tag nav above your content, for ability to jump into a topic net faster, more scannable with better discrimination of content to dive into versus continue scanning past. That shows the depth of content, and someone can bookmark a tag or set of tags to get what the post above is asking for.

Keep the DF style home page content for those who have a bookmark to your site and read what's new, or an RSS feed to your site. (Though RSS can work different from home page, of course, and should remain long form regardless.)

You, Ethan, & swyx are fantastic.

thank you so much! indeed trying to keep a level head on while the world goes nuts, and consciously missing out on the social media dopamine by not endorsing every little thing as lifechanging. gotta say the creator incentives arent set up to encourage it, I think all 3 of us purely do it for love of the game rather than making any serious money from our work on this

I really like your blog!
