alt Hacker NewsHN used to provide a really high signal to noise ratio for me, but it's degrading pretty quickly. There are new accounts below saying "hey I just learned what RTOS means, thanks!"
I reflexively reload HN many times per day, but I'm wondering if I need a walled garden with some sort of curation of individuals - which sucks - to get the signal level I want.
I wish HN upvote data was public, I feel like I could build some kind of improved algorithm that reduces the vote weight of people who upvote slop.
