Serious question: What is this post about and why should we care? It's a repo with 35 stars. Is adding 12,000 posts in a single commit somehow technically difficult or significant?

You should care because this website has a high ranking on Google and these 12000 posts will show up every time you search something programming related.

Stop using Google. Kagi lets you block and prioritize sites.

About to go do that on Kagi for the linked site. Oh and also hit the “Report this site as AI generated”

>Stop using Google

I've been using DuckDuckGo for years now, but their search results have now become so terrible, it's nearly unusable. And I have to "quote" every word, otherwise it just randomly omits it from search for no reason. Honestly it's so bad I wonder if all the developers left, and the site is just coasting along.

Maybe I'll try Kagi, but it's not something I can pitch to normies.

I have used Kagi, it's not a suitable replacement. It still struggles with relevance even compared to the garbage that is current-day Google, and is particularly bad at finding recent (less than a month or two old) information.

Likewise. Every query returns dozens and dozens of AI generated domains and blog posts like this. It’s MUCH better than google with filters and small web but still sad.

I heard that they might have fixed the problem, but I initially dropped it when they stopped respecting quotes, even in verbatim mode. Like, if I’m looking for an obscure product number, I don’t want a bunch of shit with a few digits off if there are no actual hits. I want no hits if the settings and query demand it.

This post is added because it's so easy and to show that it's being done in real life. That we can't have nice things, because of mindless people like Nawaz Dhandala.

I'm quite sure in every passing second people are pumping more AI slop to the internet. I just don't see why this is something special (unless it's a well-known project among HN users that I'm not aware of.)

I'm also quite sure, but this is the proof, not hypothesis -- with git commits and all.
