Ask HN: How can we keep (part of) the web human?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-07 17:57:22

Any ideas for how we can keep the web (or at least part of it) human? It feels like every time I do a web search, more and more of the results are AI generated nonsense. I'm worried that it's going to become much more difficult to find the human-generated content. How can we keep a part of the web human? Any ideas? (I'm not keen on Sam Altman’s eyeball-scanning Orb being the "solution.")

This Galaxy Z Fold 7 dummy puts its ultra-thin design into perspective

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-08 02:55:01

TL;DR A new YouTube video shows a Galaxy Z Fold 7 dummy model based on leaks and rumors, giving our best look yet at the expected design. The video shows the foldable’s slim profile, with side-by-side comparisons showing how much thinner it is than the Fold 6. The dummy also illustrates the switch to a punch-hole camera and a larger outer display.

YouTube's new anti-adblock measures

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-08 02:01:35

Over the past few months, YouTube has been trying another round of anti-adblock measures. Currently the anti-adblock stuff is being A/B tested, and one of my accounts is in the experimental group. I wrote a filter that partially avoids one of the anti-adblock measures, fake buffering, on uBlock Origin (and Brave browser, since it uses the same filter rules). (It’s already in the default filter lists, you don’t need to manually add the filter.) One thing that people have ran into is “fake buffer
