You can already do that. Just click hide on posts you don’t want to see.

The issue with having a model that does it for you is that your going to immediately start fighting against it and its decisions.

Hate to be the stereotypical pedantic HN commenter, but fwiw this normally works, I believe there's an exception with Ask HN posts where clicking "hide" will not fully hide it, at least last time I tried.

Wait, have I been on HN since 2011 without realising this? There is nothing in the FAQ at least [1].

I have always avoid pushing “hide” since I assumed a new submission would pop up at the bottom and I never wanted to go beyond the top 30 as I feared I would stay on the site for a bit too long.
