Show HN: Hacker News, without AI
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Hcker.news is a configurable HN reader with an AI-exclude filter.
The site offers search, feed filtering (by keywords, domains, authors), multiple sort/rank options (day, week, month), and 20+ UI themes. It provides a dedicated AI filter that removes stories detected via a BERT-based classifier trained on ~8,000 examples and scans GitHub repos for AI-generated commits. Users can toggle between Aggregate, Frontpage, Best of, and Timeline views, and access custom RSS feeds for their filtered view.
What commenters are saying
Several commenters note the irony of using AI to filter AI content. Multiple shared alternative filters: uBlock Origin regex for HN, unslop.news, hn-without-ai on GitHub, and a Pangram-based filter at hnslop.nilsherzig.com. The creator clarifies the filter targets AI-related stories, not AI-written text, and explains the pipeline: domain/keyword filter + BERT classifier + repo scan. Some question the filter's accuracy as top stories include HuggingFace posts. One commenter prefers hckrnews.com's simpler layout; the creator notes the 'hckr' layout option.
