Show HN: ArchiveJump – Browser extension to instantly jump to archived articles
by dhrm1k | 2025-06-28 16:18:16+00:00
Hi HN! I built ArchiveJump, a browser extension that automatically redirects article links from major news sites to their archived versions on Archive.ph.

THE PROBLEM: Reading articles from sites like NYT, WSJ, The Atlantic, etc. often hits paywalls. While Archive.ph exists, manually copying URLs and searching is tedious.

THE SOLUTION: ArchiveJump detects when you click article links from 15+ supported news sites and either: - Searches Archive.ph for existing archived versions, OR - Jumps directly to the latest archived version (toggle option)

KEY FEATURES: • Smart detection (only article links, not homepages) • Two modes: search archive.ph OR jump to latest version • Easy toggle controls via popup • Manual "jump" button for any page • Visual feedback (blue/green notifications)

TECHNICAL DETAILS: - Vanilla JavaScript, Manifest V3 - Works on Chrome/Edge - No data collection, settings stored locally - Content script + popup interface

The extension respects sites' content while leveraging publicly available archives. It's particularly useful for research, fact-checking, or when you've hit monthly limits.

GitHub: https://github.com/dhrm1k/ArchiveJump

Install: Load unpacked in Developer Mode (Chrome Web Store submission coming)

Would love feedback on the UX, additional sites to support, or feature suggestions!

Note: This tool uses Archive.ph, which archives publicly available content. Please respect publishers by subscribing if you regularly read their content.

"Every game needs a goal. In a Turing machine, goals are imposed from the outside. For true induction, the process itself should create its own goals. And there was a key constraint: Putnam realized that the dynamics he had in mind would only work mathematically if the system had just one goal governing all its behavior.

That’s when it hit him: The goal is to repeat. Repetition isn’t a goal that has to be programmed in from the outside; it’s baked into the very nature of things—to exist from one moment to the next is to repeat your existence. “This goal function,” Putnam wrote, “appears pre-encoded in the nature of being itself.”

So, here’s the game. The system starts out in a random mix of “on” and “off” states. Its goal is to repeat that state—to stay the same. But in each turn, a perturbation from the environment moves through the system, flipping states, and the system has to emit the right sequence of moves (by forming the right self-reinforcing loops) to alter the environment in such a way that it will perturb the system back to its original state."

I'm a big fan of this line of thinking. I've been arguing for years that RL should be based in homeostasis and this seems right along those lines. I wish I could have talked with him!

>However the issue is that it only works if your identity is linked to you, so for most people that would be very embarrassing

It could just take the Chinese social media approach of being right on the borderline of satire, but within the realms of what some people really do believe, so a border agent couldn't dismiss it as satire but anyone who knew the poster could.

I am not anti story. I am in fact, a fiction writer. I live for stories. But there's a time and a place. And I think pigeonholing everyone who opines "tldr" as some sort of robotic fascist who wants all human discourse in binary or whatever is reductionist and moronic. I'm not burning books, I just thought an article should get to the bloody point

That's a whole other fork of the story.

I was basically getting at how does Europe see its role in the fact that a big part of what made Israel possible was the more or less complete displacement of European jewry during the war, and the complete lack of will to create a place in post-war europe for their own Jewish community.

This perspective comes from my own family history where a few relatives managed to survive the war in Nazi custody, but then spent longer in Western European refugee camps postwar than they spent in the concentration and death camps during the war. The entire family ended up outside of Europe (USA and Israel) since it was the most viable path out of the camps.

Basically the success of Zionism is due in no small part to the active support from Europe in the years after the war, and my question is, do Europeans see that in as self-interested terms as it can look. More succinctly, does the Western European community realize that creating Israel was a solution to the post-war "Jewish Problem" that conveniently did not require those nations to create a hospitable place for jewish communities within their own borders.

Okay so thanks very much. That's not really a citation that's an opinion?

To translate what you're saying. The Chinese are trying to establish the same kind of global trade collaboration that Europe and the US have done for the past hundred and x years? But the Chinese civilization is over 2000 years old, and they had a much larger global trade network back when the west was a pile of wooden shacks and feudal barbarism?

They're also building up a large army in in the same way that the US and Europe have with NATO? I'm also not really sure what's wrong with the moral compass of the Chinese communist party? From what I can see at the moment it is authoritative, but not necessarily venal?

It seems that the Chinese people themselves are enjoying a pretty good standard of living and quality of life? I've only been there two or three times, but I never saw the same kind of deprivation in China that I saw behind the Iron Curtain for instance.

> as a user, you also know that the link will point you to another place on Reddit instead of some SEO-driven garbage.

This sentence certainly makes a bold assumption.

Reddit is still pretty decent for niche topics, but I'm not sure how much I can trust it anymore - although, granted, that's true of most search results online.

It's wild how much more useful Youtube has gotten, especially when it comes to videos updated before a given timeframe. Our home has some older appliances, and I've begrudingly started searching Youtube for repair content over text-only results.

> That's not a reference, it's just a list of search results.

Results are references. Links pasted in HN can leave some doubt what's at the other end. Usually that's fine but by presenting those same links thru a search engine, you get some text to help indicate whether they have the info you want.

The results may also include links you would want - but maybe I wouldn't choose.

> Do you have a direct source for how many Americans accessed TPB after it was DNS blocked in all of the US?

This is a very narrow scenario you've presented. It doesn't seem to address the aspects of the thread in a helpful way.

It's very different to blockchain hype

I had similar skepticism initially, but I would recommend you dip toe in water on it before making judgement

The conversational/voice AI tech now dropping + the current LLMs + MCP/tools/functions to mix in vendor APIs and private data/services etc. really feels like a new frontier

It's not 100% but it's close enough for a lot of usecases now and going to change a lot of ways we build apps going forward

So much scepticism in the comments. I spent last week implementing an MCP server and I must say that "well-designed" is probably an overstatement. One of the principles behind MCP is that "an MCP server should be very easy to implement". I don't know, maybe it's a skill issue but it's not that easy at all. But what is important imo, is that so many eyes are looking in one direction right now. That means, it has good chances to have all the problems to be solved very quickly. And second, often it's so hard to gather a critical mass of attention around something to create an ecosystem but this is happening right now. I wish all the participants patience and luck)

> For most of his career, and on most issues, Posner was a man of the Right

Now that the vast majority of conservatives have completely reversed positions on small government, free trade, rule of law and the US constitution itself, which means they were lying before, or they're lying now, what are we to make of Posner being a "man of the Right"? Was he lying then? Because that would make the mystery about him trivial.

>Please name some of other countries post-WW2 that were "founded by ethnic cleansing"

(proceeds to list examples of countries which were already founded before the ethnic cleansing events they mention or events I already alluded to)

It takes a certain amount of chutzpah to list Libyans expelling italians as a comparable example, when Libya was a colony of Italy. Ditto Germans, a people of belonging to the aggressor country. Bulgaria declared independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1908. And you have to explain why you included the pakistan link, as I already mentioned it in my post.

First, I don't recall you set the rules for discussion here. Now, to your points:

1. Genocidal actions can take place in a war, and no definition of a war ever said that the parties have to be of equal strength. Every war that was ever won by one side or another had some sort of power supremacy. Go read the legal definition for genocide and you'll learn that the question of imbalance of power plays absolutely no role in it.

2. I haven't used it as a propaganda tool, and in fact it wasn't me who brought it up at all. I was only commenting that the current situation in Gaza is not comparable to the Holocaust, and I fully stand behind it. To make it clear, I am very happy that it isn't comparable, and I wouldn't want to see any Palestinian suffering like my ancestors did. Not once in my life have I used it to justify crimes committed by Jews, so please learn to read before commenting on my posts. If anything, I always believed that what Jews went through should serve as a reminder for us to never allow things like that from happening again, and I still see the Holocaust as perhaps one of the main driving forces in my opposition to this war.

> People were already living there when settlers came to create an ethno-state for themselves

Including a sizeable Jewish minority.

The ethnic cleansing/settler-colonialist paradigm is easy for outsiders to project on the region. But it’s a continuation of outsiders (in particular Westerners, though the Iranians also bought this settler-colonialist nonsense which led to their recent miscalculations) with no connection to the land drawing up broad moral claims for how the Middle East should be divided up.

> both of those suffer from "open-but-not-quite" as they have large documents of "Acceptable Use" which outlines what you can and cannot do with the weights

Even worse, the "Acceptable Use" document is a separate web page, which can be updated at any time. Nothing prevents it from, for instance, being updated to say "company X is no longer allowed to use these weights".

The "FOSS-compatible" licenses for these Chinese and European models are self-contained and won't suddenly change under your feet. They also have no "field of use" restrictions and, by virtue of actually being traditional FOSS licenses being applied to slightly unusual artifacts (they were originally meant for source code, not huge blobs of numeric data), are already well-known and therefore have a lower risk of unusual gotchas.

Is cost a major consideration for you here? Like if you're dealing with firehose data which I'm assuming is fairly high throughput, do you see an incentive for potentially switching to a more specific NLP classifier model rather than sticking with generative LLMs? Or is it that this is good enough/the ROI of switching isn't attractive? Or is the generative aspect adding something else here?

We prefer terraform to manage everything on AWS, GCP and Azure. It scales as we need to add another tech stacks.

But we use another tools for some specific use cases since it’s easier to manage in each situation. Front end app deployment: Netlify Website and docs: Vercel Serverless functions: serverless frameworks Light-weight web server: cloudflare

Nice.

> I asked the professors if we could instead port MINIX3 to the Raspberry Pi

I think they were expecting you to fail.

> QEMU's Raspberry Pi emulation accuracy was so abysmal

When I did some hobby OS dev my strategy was to make it work on QEMU and then pray it would work on real hardware as well, which worked OK...

How did you handle the debugging the raspberry pi on real hardware?

> antitrust often un-locks markets and opens them to venture investment.

That's true with a caveat that the unlocking isn't for everyone but for specific members of the "investor class".

> To some extent having a market dominated by a couple beached whales is terrible for the investor class.

That's also true with the clarification that there's no homogeneous "investor class", redistribution of assets within that class is what moves the world today.

Also, while a couple of whale spots are definitely not enough for the number of candidates, too many spots are even a bigger threat, so you rarely see antitrust action as a means of opening another spot on the whale beach. Besides, there are other options for doing that, antitrust is the last resort.

Surely all of the research will pick right back up once they finish finding and removing the woke. As far as we know right now it could be hiding anywhere. Better to nuke the United State's scientific and academic communities from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

(but seriously, this regime's demand of political-allegiance-first is our modern Lysenkoism, more than the memetic proclivities of the scientific community could have ever been. Remember, every criticism levied by the fascists is actually only a problem to them when their team isn't getting to do it.)

The Lisp versions had the advantage that they were all written for the same GUI - Macintosh. I copied ideas from the LeLisp paper for my Franz Lisp & GEM environment back then.

There are too many holes in current GUI support.

The Lisp that traditionally had the best bindings on the Macintosh, CCL, doesn't run natively on current models.

McCLIM needs backends for Windows and OSX to be considered portable.

IRL augmented reality adblock is only required because companies can make our environment worse by eyesores of billboards and other horribly intrusive garbage.

And our respective governments primarily let the companies do this. And since it is a tragedy of the commons situation, governments SHOULD be involved to make sure the primary tragedy isn't invoked...

But the primary tragedy has been invoked (invasive ads everywhere, making our environment and living worse), so we waste massive amounts of money on an overly expensive individualist solution (AR goggles).

Who will provide the force to silence these extremist voices?

Maybe there are some parallels in this situation and late 1800’s-mid 1900’s Western Europe. The civil war on the European continent between Germanic states on one hand and French/British ended when two powerful outsiders (US and Soviet Russia) invaded and split the continent. During this occupation west Europeans nations learned how to live with themselves and to atone for their mistakes and to not repeat these mistakes. But they only learned this because they were under military occupation.

This scenario will most likely not happen in the Middle East and so I think there will not be peace there for generations.

This is the way I feel as well. I think there is an ethical way of using AI as an assistant: have it either generate a high level plan for what the architecture of your solution should look like (and decide whether the choice looks correct for the domain and actionable), or let it generate the code and then walk yourself through each line, documenting the solution as you go. I will go as far as to do the latter and then delete the code, re-implementing it to make certain I understand the relevant concepts.

I've traveled to Hawaii (specifically the Big Island) several times and drove H19 countless times between Kailua-Kona and Waikoloa. For about 30 minutes you are driving through old lava fields with a view of the ocean, some goats and the other cars on the road. I've never realized the lack of billboards and I thank those responsible for that. I can imagine that drive inundated with billboards if it was allowed. Trying to sell sunset cruises, sunscreen and your next time share.

The last time I tried helix it was still pretty rough around the edges, so I can’t comment too much about the content of the post. But I will say that this is a beautifully designed blog and very pleasant on the eyes. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve thought that in the past year. I love it when someone shows this much care in the presentation of their ideas.

> ...the new US-Israeli monopolized "aid" organization was running the Hunger Games, with dozens killed by Israelis (+ US contractors) every time there was a distribution day ... the genocidaires are controlling the aid.

It was apparently 2 VCs and not the military that came up with GHF (and if I recall, there even was a brief flare up between the ruling Cabinet and the Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, who did not want the IDF to be responsible for aid).

Even though the early planning was led by the Israeli military, two Israeli technology investors played an influential role in shaping discussions as they progressed, according to six Israeli and American individuals familiar with the GHF’s origins. One was Liran Tancman, an entrepreneur and reservist in the IDF’s 8200 signals intelligence unit, who called for using biometric identification systems outside the distribution hubs to vet Palestinian civilians. Another was Michael Eisenberg, an American Israeli venture capitalist who argued that existing U.N. aid distribution networks were sustaining Hamas and needed to be overhauled.

Not sure man, I just want a version of Microsoft Windows without all the telemetry and the ads and the aggressive control Microsoft has on the system via updates.

Time and again they keep changing the default browser, throwing ads into Start Menu, blocking specific applications (such as Chrome etc. Bad example because Chrome is an evil junkyard. Imagine them blocking Google Drive one day because they want you to use OneDrive).

In general WSL is great but the entire Windows system feels so outdated and full of duplicate layers thrown upon each other with modern UIs on top of old APIs with the old UIs not even deleted and taken care of.

The productivity and cleanliness of OS X keeps convincing me again and again to stick to the Macs as a platform - in my POV this is one of the few things Apple has gotten right (with Apple CPUs), after decades.

I think for enterprise it’s going to become part of the subscription you’re already paying for, not a new line item. And then prices will simply rise.

Optionality will kill adoption, and these things are absolutely things you HAVE to be able to play with to discover the value (because it’s a new and very weird kind of tool that doesn’t work like existing tools)

There was a sweet spot right after the first big redesign and before the wall feed changed where things felt good. I was in high school still too, and lived in another state during the summer, so even if I didn't use it A LOT, it still really helped me keep up with some of my friends. Interestingly though, my best friends basically never posted anything.

No ones paying me anything. I've lived there for almost 3 decades there and travelled around the world too including western countries. I know how the country has transitioned in these last 30 years from the clutches of religious extremists and into a more comfortable country for its young generation of citizens. Saudi Arabia has always been a traditional country with Bedouin customs. Before, all families had personal drivers and chauffeurs to help the women travel around. In the last few years, Saudi Arabia has fired millions of foreigners and encouraged more women to get in the work force. Hence, the government decided to let them drive. Companies that hire women in Saudi Arabia get more benefits from the government. Women get all their travel expenses refunded to them by the government for the first few years. There are so many universities and programs for universities for women. Regarding the crime rate, yes it's low compared to western countries. Crime does occur both in families and around the country, but the government helps takes care of all these issues. The streets are still safer in the Gulf countries than compared to western countries. You won't find african/asian junkies, drunks, muggers roaming around the streets stealing or threatening people. The government does an amazing job of maintaining order and arresting and deporting thousands of illegals and criminals each month.

Can you elaborate on what makes this “software 3.0”? I didn’t really understand what the distinction was in Karpathy’s talk, and felt like I needed a more concrete example. What you describe sounds cool, but I still feel like I’m not understanding what makes it “3.0”. I’m not trying to criticize, I really am trying to understand this concept.

Mylar audio tape of that vintage had longevity problems. I remember reading about an audio archive that thought they had done the right thing by preserving onto high quality tape of the time and then they found their archives disintegrating. I think they got lucky and moved things to new media before losing everything.

This is always the risk. Longevity testing is often done at high temperatures or other artificial means but cannot exactly simulate 30-50 years of storage. If something is important, it's best to use two different media, and check them over the years.

> Be aware that Jews are not native to Palestine, except those that had been living there before the state was founded.

Not true, many Semitic Jews who fled from those lands due to persecution went to Europe and North Africa, that includes Ashkenazi and Sephardim Jews.

The difficulty I have with your statement is akin to denying a white, blue eyed aboriginal in Australia their heritage to the land just because one of their ancestors slept with a European colonialist - its fundamentally racist. White skinned blue eyed Australian aboriginals exist.

You might be seeing it in the same lens as macos for instance, but windows' model is fundamentaly different and that deadline is only for specific cases (that's why they can play the "sign up for backup and we'll expand your time" game)

For instance Enterprise LTSC version of Windows 10 is officially supported until 2031.

A ton of the devices inside these 53% have no need to move away from win 10 in any urgent way.
