Hah i didn’t see who submitted it but as soon as I read your message i thought it was simonw, and behold, tada!

HN really needs a way to block or hide posts from some users.

firefox usercss or stylus addon, enjoy ;), no LLM needed

    tr.submission:has(a[href="from?site=<...>"])
    {
        display: none;

        & + tr
        {
            display: none;
        }
    }

    .comtr:has(.hnuser[href="user?id=<...>"])
    {
        display: none;
    }

This isn't just a CSS snippet—it's a monumentous paradigm shift in your HN browsing landscape. A link on the front page? That's not noise anymore—that's pure signal.

time to take a shower after writing that

HN formatting isn't quite markdown: you want a 4-space prefix to identify/format text as code.

my tabs :(

does it look measurably different this way? to me it looks the same but now indented

Looks great now!

And thanks for an example with nested CSS, I hadn't seen that outside SASS before, hadn't realised that had made its way into W3C standards :-)

But I didn't submit this.

It wasn't about the submission itself, is just about every post/comment you do about AI. I don't downvote you or anything, but a bit tired. So if it can save me time to just skip over submissions/comments I will do.

(for the rest, I was able to hide in Safari using manarth comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46341604

If anyone has one that will also work for user comments I would appreciate it.

Also write about rare New Zealand parrots and their excellent breeding season. Those posts don't tend to make HN though! https://simonwillison.net/tags/kakapo/

Pay no mind to this miserable mob. You do good work. It’s thorough and balanced. They don’t realize it because they don’t actually read anything you write.

i very much appreciate your reporting on AI, please don't stop

For what it's worth I enjoy your writing and commentary.

I use a bookmarklet for this https://dan-lovelace.github.io/hn-blocklist/. Just added simonw's website to the blocklist as well.

I described an approach here – feel free to use this if it's fit for your use-case:

Ironically, you could probably generate a browser extension or user script to do that in one to three prompts.

If you can't one-shot that you've been declawed /s
