Show HN: Programmatic – a REPL for creating labeled data https://bit.ly/3E11kLO

Show HN: Programmatic – a REPL for creating labeled data Hey HN, I’m Jordan cofounder of Humanloop (YC S20) and I’m excited to show you Programmatic — an annotation tool for building large labeled datasets for NLP without manual annotation . Programmatic is like a REPL for data annotation. You: 1. Write simple rules/functions that can approximately label the data 2. Get near-instant feedback across your entire corpus 3. Iterate and improve your rules Finally, it uses a Bayesian label model [1] to convert these noisy annotations into a single, large, clean dataset, which you can then use for training machine learning models. You can programmatically label millions of datapoints in the time taken to hand-label hundreds. What we do differently from weak supervision packages like Snorkel/skweak[1] is to focus on UI to give near-instantaneous feedback. We love these packages but when we tried to iterate on labeling functions we had to write a ton of boilerplate code and wrestle with pandas to understand what was going on. Building a dataset programmatically requires you to grok the impact of labeling rules on a whole corpus of text. We’ve been told that the exploration tools and feedback makes the process feel game-like and even fun (!!). We built it because we see that getting labeled data remains a blocker for businesses using NLP today. We have a platform for active learning (see our Launch HN [2]) but we wanted to give software engineers and data scientists a way to build the datasets needed themselves and to make best use of subject-matter-experts’ time. The package is free and you can install it now as a pip package [2]. It supports NER / span extraction tasks at the moment and document classification will be added soon. To help improve it, we'd love to hear your feedback or any success/failures you’ve had with weak supervision in the past. [1]: We use a HMM model for NER tasks, and Naive-Bayes for classification using the two approaches given in the papers below: Pierre Lison, Jeremy Barnes, and Aliaksandr Hubin.

Show HN: Disable now useless “What's new” page in Firefox https://bit.ly/3O81KVp

Show HN: Disable now useless “What's new” page in Firefox Firefox 99 started serving a "What's New" page that is an ad for Pocket instead of listing what's new in the browser. Another disappointment. Here's how to disable the now useless "What's new page": 1. Go to about:config 2. Change the value of "browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone" to "ignore". Bingo! One less page with ads. Thanks for nothing, Mozilla. April 8, 2022 at 08:19AM

Show HN: ProductDiv – A Website Editor for Developers https://bit.ly/3JfjTgd

Show HN: ProductDiv – A Website Editor for Developers I've been working on a library for developing websites visually. There are many tools for building websites, but none that fit my workflow as a front-end developer, so I made my own! It is an open source library called ProductDiv and it lets you: - Drag and drop any HTML template into your site. - Change elements with utility classes you can customize - Export clean HTML elements and copy into your source code. - Use in any framework! ProductDiv is developer-first, meaning the configuration for the editor lives in your source code. You can evolve the configuration as your project grows (as it inevitably will!). This lets you standardize design patterns and makes it easy to distribute high quality components to your team. I published a demo at https://bit.ly/3LJVRM2 that includes Bootstrap 5 utility classes and some basic templates to experiment with. I would love your feedback on UX and to answer the big question: Would you use this in your project? Why or why not? https://bit.ly/3LJVRM2 April 6, 2022 at 04:05PM

Show HN: Tilepieces – An open source project to visually editing HTML documents Hi all, My name is Simone Di Nuovo and i'm the creator of tilepieces, an open source project to visually editing HTML documents and Web applications. Tilepieces is a software that allows you to create applications for editing HTML documents, using some of the popular interfaces of the browser developer tools (with which it is possible to integrate css edits). Tilepieces also allows you to reuse your favorite code and libraries, and exposes APIs that are useful for editing multiple files at a time. You can start using tilepieces with its progressive web application version at https://bit.ly/3DKPUvm ! I will be happy to receive any comments from you. https://bit.ly/3r5LN82 April 6, 2022 at 02:14PM

Show HN: Bloben – self hosted web CalDAV calendar client https://bit.ly/3Jdmkjk

Show HN: Bloben – self hosted web CalDAV calendar client Hello all, I have been working on a self hosted CalDAV calendar client Bloben https://bit.ly/37oFLsl This is mostly an alternative to other web clients like great AgenDAV with some additional features I wanted to use like email invites, alarms, webcalendars, etc. You can play with demo (limited to read access) here: https://bit.ly/3r5cxFP In the end it should provide separate clients also for CalDAV tasks and notes. One thing I would maybe like to discuss more is adding encryption, which is obviously quite problematic when using standards like CalDAV. Initially I just added non-compatible fully encrypted calendars, but realised this might not be useful for many people using different clients. Something halfway is adding an option to protect only some, say sensitive, events by encrypting fields like title, description or location. That way events will still be displayed via standard mobile apps and decrypted only in Bloben client (with link to open from description). As part of this project I published also React calendar component https://bit.ly/3r5LE4J Thank you, if you are interested and feel free to ask me anything. April 6, 2022 at 07:23AM
