NextRecap reads 40 feeds every two hours and keeps the small share worth your time. On the most recent run that was 97 items out of 389.
Most tech aggregators answer "what happened today". They rank by popularity or try to be comprehensive, so you get funding rounds, executive moves, earnings and rumours mixed in with the things you actually wanted to see.
This one answers a narrower question: what is genuinely cool right now. New models and capabilities. Robots and hardware you can buy or build. Design and creative work. Engineering where the interesting part is how they pulled it off.
The work is in what gets dropped. A thin page of real things beats a full page of maybes.
Deals, discounts and buying guides. Funding rounds, valuations and earnings. Executive hires and departures. Crypto prices. Version bumps that add no new capability. Rumour round-ups before an event. Party politics, the economy and general news that is not really about technology. Anything where a specialist would be interested but nobody else could tell why from the headline.
Roughly 74% of what comes in does not make it. The count sits on the front page every day, and the dropped list is published — you can check the judgement rather than take our word for it.
A model reads every headline against a written editorial standard and drops what does not meet it. A second pass removes items that are technically impressive but dry. Duplicate coverage of one story collapses into a single row with the other outlets listed beside it.
The standard itself is written and maintained by a person, and changes when it gets something wrong. The model applies it; it does not set it.
Where a headline assumes knowledge you might not have, a one-line explanation sits under it. Those lines are generated, checked against a list of banned marketing language, and based only on the source text.

There is an RSS feed and a calendar of upcoming events at events.ics. Reading it in a feed reader instead of here is a completely reasonable thing to do.
