          This is perfect for me. I want to stay updated on the same kind of
          information that is shared here, but i don't care about cred points
          and find the social networking aspect of hn to be a codified toxic
          echo chamber.
          
          Thus i love the contrarian take.
          
          I also love that you can switch the default analysis from the story
          to the comments.
          
          I think this is a good use of ai. Using ai a a creative crutch is
          dehumanizing like all division of labor as Adam Smith described in
          his magnum opus was a major problem with capitalism. As we see.
          
          However, as it is wise enough to browse the covers of magazines, but
          skip the detail inside, so too it's it sufficient and better for the
          mind, body, and soul to merely browse what happened than the
          radioactive details from the brainwashed miscreants inside.

            What social networking aspect? The karma point is basically hidden

              Look at the green blue and red bars on the what happened
              summaries. Almost everyone here agrees with each other (mostly
              green) even on the most controversial issues, which what happened
              let's you sort by.
              
              I can't wait for what happened IN THE WORLD!!!
              
              that green bar is not a coincidence in a codified echo chamber.
              
              Almost no one is allowed to disagree with the consensus here and
              then only in a particular way. Some dissent is outright banned.
              
              Like for example, try suggesting any of the following ideas:
              Trump is misunderstood, feminism is bad for women, mrna shots
              aren't vaccines, vc increases pain, suffering and failure, etc.
              
              No discussion like that, among countless other ideas will get
              your account immediately shadow banned.
              
              So it appears that there's consensus about what "truth" is, as
              proven now by what happened's green and red bars, but in reality
              contrarians are forced to lurk.
              
              And what I just said only touches the surface of the many
              significant issues with this community.
              
              Go deeper and you find some sinister tactics being used to
              control the narrative.
              
              Good luck seeing this post. I know it was a waste of time to
              write it.

                If you look at the site in question closer, it states that the
                "green, blue, and red bars" mean "constructive, technical, and
                flame war".
                
                If I had to guess, you likely have some heavy premises that
                blind you from engaging with the content of a post. I'm not
                going to pretend there isn't some truth in your premises,
                however I would imagine there would be "many significant issues
                with [any] community" if we all operated this carelessly.

          Two things:
          - I second the whole vertical space thing of MrCoffee 
          - I feel like clicking on the title should either take you to the
          post (I know there is a link but it feels un-intuitive).

        How is this determining a comment is "Highly Upvoted"  on HN where that
        is explicitly kept out of the ui/ux and new comments are a/b tested
        across users etc... it's not a thing you can know.  I have had comments
        with a big number of descendents but very low upvotes so thats not a
        reliable indicator either.  Genuinely curious.

        Very nice indeed. I recently went through a similar process and built
        an RSS feed summarizer, but didn’t bother with comments because…
        well… it could go either way in terms of productivity and token usage
        (I prefer to grab the original article and summarize it when feasible).
        
        But I really like the output.

        What a sad world we live in.  This site really is a cesspool of
        American fascism, and the community is not doing enough to take a
        stance against that

        I really like this. Although I see a lot of posts leading with
        "Non-technical post" which seems misapplied in a lot of cases and
        otherwise too much of a generalization for a technical audience to
        glean anything useful from.

        Very nice. Most posts are classified as "Non-technical post" these
        days.
        
        Was hoping for a way to filter on "technical", for when I need my dose
        of hacking and technology. (Filter on category could also help, but I
        assume there are many technical categories.)
        
        And maybe reverse sort, for when I'm tired of controversy.

        The timestamp under each title seems to be the timestamp of when it was
        summarized and not when it was actually posted on HN. As a reader, I
        would prefer to see when it was posted. You already have a "updated x
        hours ago" at the top of the page so there is no reason to just repeat
        that updated timestamp on all the cards.

        Really nice experience on mobile. I didn't think I'd like the
        "contrarian take" section, but it's actually useful to see what the
        main counterpoint is on a post, and how seriously others are taking it
       
          fhutrr567 wrote 8 hours 57 min ago:
          You like it, because that's pretty much the only way to get the
          contrarian take.
          
          As I said below, hn bans contrarians to curate consensus in the
          interest of harmony above reality, openness or the achievement of
          human potential.

        It seems like each article takes a lot of vertical space.  What if you
        changed the UI so you just displayed a title for each article with a
        little icon next to it like a downward arrow that you could click on if
        you wanted to see more of that article?  That way, you could display
        more titles on one screen so that the user could more quickly scroll to
        the articles they actually wanted to see?
