Re:Hacker News Reader created using Claude on Thursday December 18, 2025 @04:38AM (#46310642)
I loathe those awful cookie pop-ups.. They've really ruined the internet browsing experience. Also, pay-walls are quite annoying. I love Hacker News, but many of the stories have cookie pop-ups and/or pay-walls. I kept wishing there was a way to filter out sites with cookie popups or paywalls. So I thought I'd try get Claude to help me create a Reader (I'm not a programmer!) using the HN API. This is the first attempt.

Yes stasi is an intentional exaggeration of the fact that police are turning up at people's homes about their social media posts and many have been jailed for social media posts but not all who have made comparable posts, so it seems inconsistent (targeted)

Bad choice. The UK is not even in the top 10 countries for freedom of speech. Am looking to leave because it feels like its becoming a Stasi state.

Bitcoin has viable ways to implement quantum resistance, but they require significant technical and social coordination. Ongoing research and Bitcoin's adaptability suggest it can evolve to counter quantum threats, provided the community acts proactively. - Grok
Whats the problem.. just get your pal Soros to give you the money instead.. With $36T debt, Federal Government cannot continue splashing out money like there is no tomorrow
