This website and its spend-128-hours-disabling-1024-separate-cookies-and-vendors is pure cancer, I wish HN would just ban all these disgusting data hoovering leeches. By now I get that no one else cares and I should just stop coming here.

Agreed, I wouldn't mind banning paywall crap while we're at it.

Nope, you are not alone. Without uBlock Origin I wouldn't go much anywhere these days.

It's far from an ideal solution but I've started to just have JS disabled by default in uBlock Origin and then enabling it manually on a per-site basis. Bit of a hassle but many sites, including this one, render just fine witbout JS and are arguably better without it.

That entire site is 100% ai generated click farming. The fact that the top comments here not even talking about the content of the article but instead more general ‘hbm is great’ worries me. For anyone that read the article which product has hbm attached? The cpu or gpu? What is the name of this product? There’s literally nothing specific in here and the article is rambling ai nonsense. The whole site is a machine gun of such articles.

  1000% agreed, especially the silent carrying on with the topic without acknowledging the cancer actual link. I know e.g. Deng is a real person who works hard to make HN decent, but wtf is this, are we just going to accept Daily Mail links too? I weep for the internet we had as children.

  These kind of articles are like denial of service attacks on human attention. If I read just a few of those, I would be confused for the rest of the day.

That describes almost all news sites even if most of them don't make it that obvious. Just open them in web.archive.org and avoid all of that.
