An honest to god, non-algorithmic reverse chrono list of tech news that passes my signal-to-noise tests, updated hourly.

A lightweight a page design as I've been able to keep; simple, clean, fast. No commercial features or aspirations - this is a passion project, something I've been fooling around with on and off for decades.

There's a "Top" view too with an LLM edited front page & summary, and categorized views for a large number of topics - see the Directory. A few more buried features to explore, but the fundamental use case is pop in, scan, exit - fast and concise.

Your feedback would be appreciated!

Cool site, an About page would be useful. It's hard to tell how the site works.

Fair enough - its honestly not something I expected anyone to be interested in enough such that an about page would be required.

At a high level, it reads RSS feeds from a number of sources, and uses LLMs to identify clusters of stories about the same thing, group them, tag them, and designate them a "top" story or not. That's it.

The biggest thing I've learned in all of this is that o3-mini is far and away the best at following instructions (for this use case). Periodically I'll cycle through the models available on Groq, and always come back to o3-mini.
