Blocking AI-related articles on Hacker News
- LinuxBender 3y agoOne additional option would be to use uBlock Origin if already installed and if one wished to not install userscript. I mention this because I know many here already have uBlock active. Addons -> uBlock Preferences -> My Filters: Append something like # top (title / url) news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/(lockchain|202[3-9]$)/):upward(tr) # bottom (stats / comments) news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing span.titleline > a:has-text(/(lockchain|202[3-9]$)/):upward(tr) + * And/or adjust it to match the regex used in the linked article or adjust as desired. This example would block blockchain discussions and article titles that end in a year. So from the article one would insert the following between the two //'s [Nn]eural [Nn]etwork|Bard|[Mm]achine [Ll]earning|[Aa]rtifical [Ii]ntelligence|[Aa]gents|A\.?I\.?|GPT|LLaMA|[Ll]anguage [Mm]odel|(deep|long) learning|[Ll]aid[- ]?off|[Ll]ayoff|[Ss]table [Dd]iffusion|LLM|ML|Co-?[pP]ilot|RL|[Rr]einforcement [Ll]earning|VR|AGI
- sovok_x 3y agoNice, today I learned of :upward CSS pseudo-class in uB, so I will change my old rules to that. Still, it's better to add html:not([op="item"]) before overall selector so it wouldn't filter even in specifically opened threads with those titles.
- sovok_x 3y agoAlso I suggest to use: ):xpath(following-sibling::tr[1]) instead of: ) + * as the latter bugs out sometimes if you use an autopagination browser script/extension.
