I’ve updated the RNKFlow.com filter to use a comma separated list of terms. Using a negative term will filter out stories you don’t want to see. If you sign in, you can save a default filter list and I’ve made it part of the free tier. Hope this helps a bit.
I would agree. While not quite what you’re looking for, I recently built a site, RNKFlow.com (Rank Flow), to bring in multiple tech/science feeds including HN and Product Hunt to pull in more interesting posts. There is a filter option so can search across all feeds and only see what you’re interested in. Also an alerting function where you can add keyword tags and get an email digest. And Categories to limit posts only Robotics or Show HN/PH as an example. So not quite what you’re going after, but maybe a better overall experience for you.
Lobste.rd for general tech, specific subreddits or Discord communities for narrower topics. HN is probably not coming back from this one the AI industry is too concentrated in the same demographic that posts there.
Everything that's not AI is just irrelevant. AI is diverse enough to replace the other things you'd talk about.

Yeah, it's become such a boring AI marketing outlet.
Was thinking the same thing. I love Hacker News, but perhaps an AI filter on the site would be really useful.
I've been thinking for a while to create an AI tool to classify articles (not just on HN), and filter the ones I'm not in the mood for.
I think one was posted a while ago.
Ironically you would miss the articles proclaiming your new invention is the next big thing! /sarcasm

Everything on HN these days get downvoted to Oblivion. And people are heavily pushing ai and cloud products, the builder/hacker mindset is gone imho.

lobster?
I agree, Lobsters is probably the closest alternative
You're referring to https://lobste.rs/ ?
Correct
Had a browse and it is definitely reminiscent of HN's early days! Thanks for the recommendation :)
