Same way as always. Open the page, glance down it to see if there's anything that interests me, hit hide on the domains that I never want to see anything from. Lather, rinse, repeat.But I'm guessing you have more of a FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) kind of problem, which admittedly I don't have. However, you could look at something using RSS, maybe in combination with an agent told to find and show articles based on some heuristics.Personally, I'm OK with missing something. If it's good, I figure it'll surface somewhere else and impinge on my notice sooner or later. I do this as well. I scan the titles (not just HN, but all my rss feeds combined) and only read what grabs my interest. I've started following other websites/media more - like Slashdot, Reddit and others.A few weeks ago several HN users presented solutions for filtering out AI results, but I haven't used any of those solutions much. Well, don't. I follow the HN Telegram channel (not official), and if anything interesting appears, I read it.If I tried to keep up, I'd be run over. It's too much input for the normal individual I am. Im not aure i understand your question. If you cant dind it, how are you ignoring it?At any rate, I find AI interesting, but have a similar opinion that most of the HN discourse has become low quality. My solution is to follow individual users I know are high quality with similar interests. Anecdotally it feels like comment threads are a lot like "megathreads" on forums now, where there might be hundreds of replies. Wonder if there's been a surge of users over the last three or four years. We are strongly in the AI acceleration phase, so it'll keep getting harder. I use an RSS reader for the top posts only. In the RSS reader, I "star" what I want to read, and read what I can from among what I have starred. Of course I miss a lot, but I get the broad picture of where things are going. > In the last 2-3 years, mostly because of AI, keeping up with interesting articles on HN has become harder and harder.I'm curious to hear why AI made it harder to read HN. Is it because there's lots of it and you don't like it?
