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.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.Note that I don&#x27;t care that my submissions were ignored, I don&#x27;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.Here are two most recent examples:- 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&#x27;s some sort of breakthrough: 
https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49580229- Brax Industries devices, genuinely interesting, open-soruce 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:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49643215As 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 &quot;what&#x27;s new&quot; in the industry, it&#x27;s almost exclusively AI talk now.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?Or, at the very least, introduce simple tagging, so we can start filtering stuff out.

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