Ask HN: Can we please limit the AI news flood?

Ask HN：我们能限制一下 AI 新闻的泛滥吗？

Over past couple months I noticed that HN feed is almost exclusively AI or AI-adjacent news. Meanwhile the legitimately, broadly-hacker stuff gets left out for the most part. 在过去的几个月里，我注意到 Hacker News (HN) 的信息流几乎被 AI 或与 AI 相关的新闻所垄断。与此同时，那些真正属于广泛意义上的“黑客”内容却在很大程度上被冷落了。

I noticed that because the things I find genuinely interesting that I post here now get zero traction, which is the stuff that I believe would previously be met with some discussion. 我之所以注意到这一点，是因为我现在发布的一些我个人觉得非常有趣的内容，却完全无人问津；而这些内容在过去，我相信是能够引发一些讨论的。

Note that I don’t care that my submissions were ignored, I don’t need that validation. Problem is that if my stuff gains no traction, I am myself not seeing similar stuff posted by others, stuff I am genuinely also interested in and would want to hear about from this community. 请注意，我并不在意我的投稿被忽视，我不需要那种认可。问题在于，如果我的内容没有热度，我自己也看不到其他人发布的类似内容——那些我真心感兴趣、并希望从这个社区了解到的内容。

Here are two most recent examples: 以下是两个最近的例子：

Lenovo showed a model that incorporates solid-state air cooling. That technology has been around for a while but it looks like it matured and is production-ready. This allows for super-light and slim designs, which, in turn, should allow for bigger batteries installed and I think it’s some sort of breakthrough: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49580229
联想展示了一款采用固态空气冷却技术的机型。这项技术已经存在一段时间了，但看起来它已经成熟并具备了量产条件。这使得超轻薄设计成为可能，进而可以容纳更大的电池，我认为这算是一种突破：https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49580229
Brax Industries devices, genuinely interesting, open-source and innovative, especially the wall display, with its modularity and on-device processing compatible with Home Assistant. I also appreciate the very clean design: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49643215
Brax Industries 的设备，非常有趣、开源且具有创新性，尤其是那款壁挂式显示器，它具有模块化特性，且其设备端处理功能兼容 Home Assistant。我也很欣赏它简洁的设计：https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49643215

As said, I honestly believe this would gain some traction here on HN a year or two ago. I no longer find HN a good source of “what’s new” in the industry, it’s almost exclusively AI talk now. 如前所述，我真心认为一两年前这些内容在 HN 上是会获得一定关注的。我不再觉得 HN 是了解行业“新鲜事”的好渠道了，因为它现在几乎全是关于 AI 的讨论。

So I think the point I am trying to make is that maybe YC could start curating the content somehow to give those easily-drowned-out articles a visibility bump? 所以我想要表达的观点是，或许 YC（Y Combinator）可以开始以某种方式对内容进行策展，给那些容易被淹没的文章增加一些曝光度？

Or, at the very least, introduce simple tagging, so we can start filtering stuff out. 或者，至少引入简单的标签功能，这样我们就可以开始过滤掉一些内容了。

leonheld: HN is a reflection of the industry and we’re at peak hype-cycle at the moment. I use this when I need a break https://elijahpotter.dev/hnsansai. leonheld: HN 是行业的缩影，我们目前正处于炒作周期的顶峰。当我需要休息时，我会用这个：https://elijahpotter.dev/hnsansai。

flexagoon: There’s also https://unslop.news, which removes just the posts about AI, rather than all posts that mention it at all. flexagoon: 还有 https://unslop.news，它只移除关于 AI 的帖子，而不是移除所有提到 AI 的帖子。

cromka (OP): OK, this is cool, actually! Thanks! It cannot be a long-term solution, though. Most people don’t use them and if HN continues to be AI-foremost, many will simply stop coming here to post other interesting, non-AI stuff. A vicious circle. cromka (楼主): 好的，这确实很酷！谢谢！但这不能作为长期的解决方案。大多数人不会使用这些工具，如果 HN 继续以 AI 为主，许多人将不再来这里发布其他有趣的非 AI 内容。这是一个恶性循环。

otherayden: I’m curious where people would go to as an alternative. I like looking at lobste.rs for non-AI stuff, but to post there you need to be invited by an existing member so it’s not a perfect alternative. otherayden: 我很好奇大家会去哪里作为替代方案。我喜欢看 lobste.rs 上的非 AI 内容，但要在那里发帖需要现有成员邀请，所以它不是一个完美的替代品。

krapp: The fediverse. Mastodon or Lemmy are viable alternatives if you curate well enough. krapp: 联邦宇宙（Fediverse）。如果你能做好内容筛选，Mastodon 或 Lemmy 是可行的替代方案。
