HN Non-AI Posts

Show me the posts on the hacker news front page that are not ai related
Filter Hacker News Front Page for Non-AI Posts
The user wants to see the posts on the Hacker News front page that are not AI-related. Let me fetch the Hacker News front page and filter out AI-related posts.
Let me first check the front page. I can use the Hacker News API (Firebase-based) or just scrape news.ycombinator.com. Let me fetch the front page.
I'll use the shell or Python to fetch https://news.ycombinator.com/ or use the Algolia API / Firebase API to get top stories. Let me fetch the front page HTML and parse it.
Let me do this with Python.
I'll grab the current Hacker News front page and filter out the AI-related posts.

Filtering AI Posts Citing Source Listing Non-AI Content
I got the front page. Now I need to filter out AI-related posts. Let me go through the 30 posts:
  1. Kimi K3 is now live — AI related (Kimi K3 is an AI model — that's me! Definitely AI-related)
  2. OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe — NOT AI
  3. Goes-19 weather satellite enters Safe Hold mode — NOT AI
  4. Let's Build PlanetScale from Scratch: Infrastructure — NOT AI (database infrastructure)
  5. Sony Deletes a Bunch More Movies... — NOT AI
  6. How Our Rust-to-Zig Rewrite Is Going — NOT AI
  7. Ente – Opening Our Books — NOT AI (open source photos app company finances)
  8. Where are YC founders now? OpenAI and Anthropic, mostly — AI-related (about AI companies)
  9. The lost joy of music piracy — NOT AI
  10. Show HN: I've built a words game based on binary search — NOT AI
  11. Inkling: Our Open-Weights Model — AI-related (open-weights model from Thinking Machines)
  12. Guide to data tools landscape for developers — NOT AI (data tools... could arguably include AI but it's about data tools landscape; I'll classify as not AI)
  13. Teardown: A Generic 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub That Wasn't — NOT AI
  14. The Act and the Outcome of Creation — NOT AI (essay about creation/art)
  15. Accidental Anonymity — NOT AI
  16. 1,300 Beautiful Wildlife Illustrations from the 19th Century Now Restored — NOT AI
  17. Let's build a simple interpreter for APL – part 1 — NOT AI
  18. Track your workout from the iPhone Lock Screen — NOT AI
  19. Teen hackers who live streamed cyber-attack on TfL jailed — NOT AI
  20. Grok Build is open source — AI-related (Grok is xAI's AI; "Grok Build" is an AI coding tool)
  21. Governments, companies, nonprofits should invest in free, open source AI [pdf] — AI-related (explicitly about AI)
  22. If you want to create a button from scratch, you must first create the universe — NOT AI (UI/programming)
  23. Panel meter calculator with floating point — NOT AI
  24. Reynard: A real Firefox web browser for iOS 13 or later — NOT AI
  25. SQLite should have (Rust-style) editions — NOT AI
  26. A Beautiful Theory Falls to Ugly Data — NOT AI (marginalrevolution, economics probably)
  27. Introduction to KizunaShelf: A shelf for everything you love — NOT AI
  28. World-War-Ⅱ-era telephone line still in use in Upper Tanana Valley Alaska — NOT AI
  29. The LLM Critics Are Right. I Use LLMs Anyway — AI-related (LLMs)
  30. Bluesky Trademarks ATProto — NOT AI
Borderline cases:
  • #8 "Where are YC founders now? OpenAI and Anthropic, mostly" — about AI companies, I'd flag it as AI-related.
  • #12 "Guide to data tools landscape for developers" — data tools, not AI per se. Keep as non-AI.
  • #26 "A Beautiful Theory Falls to Ugly Data" — Marginal Revolution, likely economics. Keep as non-AI.
So AI-related ones: 1, 8, 11, 20, 21, 29. That's 6 filtered out, leaving 24.
I should cite the source with . The citation marker should be placed after facts sourced. Since all of this comes from the one URL, I can cite the front page once. The instructions say place the marker right after the fact it supports. I'll add a citation in the intro line.
Let me present the non-AI posts in a clean list with points and comments. I'll note which ones were filtered out as AI-related, for transparency.
Here's the current Hacker News front page, with the AI-related posts filtered out :

Filtered out as AI-related (6): Kimi K3 launch, "Where are YC founders now? OpenAI and Anthropic, mostly", Inkling open-weights model (Thinking Machines), Grok Build open source, the open-source AI investment proposal (Siegel Endowment), and "The LLM Critics Are Right. I Use LLMs Anyway."
A couple of judgment calls: I counted the YC-founders post as AI since its subject is OpenAI/Anthropic, but kept the "data tools landscape" guide since it's about data infrastructure broadly. Happy to adjust either way.
