appreciate it!

you can essentially mute words on hcker.news. You can set exclusion filters in the settings. Those can be turned into rss feeds as well.

Yeah, all possible, the infra for all of that is set up. I think I understand your request but can u send me an email so I can talk it through with you a little more?

Hm, I couldnt reproduce on firefox mac. Which version of firefox are you on? can you open the network inspector to see if you're hitting the api?

Firefox 155.0.1 Linux/x86_64 with uBlock Origin enabled. https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js is blocked by uBlock, while https://hcker.news/api/reply-notifications/config and https://hcker.news/api/comments/49662990?include_user_stats=... return 403.

Perhaps it's Cloudflare that's doing the blocking.

Fixed it, it should work now.

I've been serving this to users for the past year. I like to believe that i've inspired others.

You can do a lot of this stuff w/ the feed builder on hcker.news.

Odd framing by the economist. The open letter calls out "AI companies", not just OpenAI. Anthropic hasn't been a good neighbor either.

  > OpenAI appears to have gazumped Tristan Buckmaster (pictured) and Levent Alpöge, a duo of mathematicians labouring on the task.

What's hilarious is that the economist has gobbled up Levent's disingenuous "this was just a personal project" narrative.

Kudos to the author for being so vulnerable. The video presentation format is quite intimate, and a very different feeling than you'd get from a youtube video.

I take issue with a ton of youtube style articles, and this video is an example of a version of youtube video essays done like a literal essay instead.

It seems very much to me like video essay format on youtube is being used as a crutch. You can pump out your rough draft and hide it behind visuals or whatever else, and you benefit from the longer run time, and the viewer likely hangs around.

You can't do that in an essay, if you lose the reader for a paragraph or two, they're likely gone. To me that is why this reads more intimate, its an essay crafted as a video and an essay which i LOVE, i want the choice, and almost no youtube essay or whatever you want to call them would give that choice because it is so filled with filler content hiding the rough edges.

Then just use one! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hcker-news/
