Show HN: DoltgreSQL – Version-Controlled DB, Like Git and PostgreSQL had a baby From the company behind Dolt—the world's first fully versioned database—comes DoltgreSQL, which implements PostgreSQL's variant of SQL. DoltgreSQL is at a very early stage, and we have quite a lot of work left to do, but we'd love to hear all thoughts and opinions!

Show HN: A Sign In Space – simulating a message from ET https://bit.ly/3QlWEXh

Show HN: A Sign In Space – simulating a message from ET Over the past few months I had the privilege to be part of a team of artists and researchers who assembled a hypothetical message from ET for A Sign in Space, a project founded and directed by media artist Daniela de Paulis. The message was loaded on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, a spacecraft orbiting Mars. On May 24th it was beamed back to Earth and received by several radio telescopes during a live performance. Since then, a community of people from all walks of life has been attempting to make sense of the message.

Show HN: Collaborative Shopify Queue with upvotes and downvotes https://bit.ly/3seFhj4

Show HN: Collaborative Shopify Queue with upvotes and downvotes Hey all, I created https://bit.ly/46RZWJ2 that works as a remote for a collaborative spotify queue where the users can upvote and downvote music they want to hear next. Only the person who is playing the music needs to have spotify premium! And if you're far from your friends (and have premium) and want to listen together, you can go to the settings and click Connect to Room, and you all can listen to the same music remotely. Let me know what y'all think about it, and any improvements as well. And if anyone's interested in how I built it let me know as well. https://bit.ly/46RZWJ2 November 1, 2023 at 02:36AM

Show HN: Halloween game to show off my new Terminal Hi hi, I made a little Halloween themed game this week to show off my new terminal. You can play it in the browser. at https://bit.ly/49fdwHU Two years ago, I started building an experiment tracking tool for myself as I have been venturing into ai research, and it has morphed into a terminal with rich content support and a bunch of fancy features. https://bit.ly/3FDF3Fk I can't recommend people start using snail for important stuff today, but I think the game is fun and it shows off a lot of the capabilities of the terminal.

Show HN: My wife and I built a Halloween game https://bit.ly/49t3xyW

Show HN: My wife and I built a Halloween game Happy Halloween! Instead of going to a Halloween party this year, my wife and I decided to run a tiny Hackathon and built this little retro choose-your-own-adventure to pay tribute to a popular series of yesteryear. Try and escape! Also pumpkin mode!! We made liberal use of ChatGPT for code, DALLE3/Midjourney for images, but did most of the storyboarding/writing ourselves because we couldn't stand the style of GPT4/Claude. https://bit.ly/3Mpx4zx November 1, 2023 at 12:38AM

Show HN: JS Local-only AI Apps starter kit: cost $0 to run and test locally https://bit.ly/3sksiMM

Show HN: JS Local-only AI Apps starter kit: cost $0 to run and test locally Hi HN! Here's a local-only stack I built over the weekend - hope it can be useful for you! I have been building a lot of AI apps - https://bit.ly/456eqDX https://bit.ly/3Dc5pNy ... And there were definitely times I spent way too much $$ before deploying the app to production. So I was looking for a "local only" stack and found a few tools that worked well together. I used the following set of tools but may add more options later: - Inference: Ollama - VectorDB: Supabase pg-vector - LLM orchestration: langchain - Framework: nextjs My learning from building ai-town was also that many people don't have the luxury of swiping a credit card to test an app with a lot of AI workloads -- not surprisingly, many models on Ollama are already very good - I used llama2-7b for majority of my dev work. Hope this can lower the barrier to entry for building AI apps. :) https://bit.ly/3QcA1V2 October 31, 2023 at 05:42PM

Show HN: Slack with Empathy Chrome Extension https://bit.ly/47bBeD1

Show HN: Slack with Empathy Chrome Extension Hey HN, I decided to create this extension after realizing it was a feature that I wanted inside of slack. A number of times over the past few weeks I've caught myself wishing I had spent a minute more thinking about the other person on the other side of the slack message I was hastily firing off. Or wondering what was taking someone so long to get back to me, only to hear later that afternoon that they were having a tough day to the grief of a recent loss. The extension is quite simple, think of it as "status for others". You can set a reminder, a color to help theme the UI, and an expiration date. I'm in the process of testing whether it actually changes my behavior. Open to feedback and suggestions, as this is my first extension and attempt to solve this problem.

Show HN: Discourse – Wikipedia for Sensitive Topics https://bit.ly/47e90Ye

Show HN: Discourse – Wikipedia for Sensitive Topics We just launched our open beta of Discourse and would love feedback. We’re a group of professionals from across technology & journalism who all have a shared experience working with sensitive topics and misinformation online. We built Discourse as a way to fill a gap we continued to see in our day jobs: a trustworthy and simple way to understand challenging topics. Discourse is unique in that it (a) combines multiple viewpoints into one place and (b) allows for Wiki-style crowd suggestions. While other sources try to be 'fair and balanced' off the bat, our belief is that it takes time, feedback, and iteration to get there - and the team has built the site around this. We’d love your feedback about how we’re presenting and summarizing the full picture to present a more balanced view of complex topics like the Future of AI, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Climate Change, Defunding the Police, and more. Is the formatting easy to follow? Is the wiki component clear? Are opposing viewpoints being presented fairly? We want to hear it all. For more on Discourse check out indiscourse.com/about – thanks for your feedback! https://bit.ly/3tOaFW2 October 31, 2023 at 12:49AM

Show HN: EnfinBref- {GPT3-5|Mistral-7B} YouTube summaries, segment by segment https://bit.ly/3FEGxz6

Show HN: EnfinBref- {GPT3-5|Mistral-7B} YouTube summaries, segment by segment A neat (in my opinion) little side-project I've been working on, both to get somewhat basic React skills going, and to work with LLMs on even more cool projects to build. It should work for most major languages and output English summaries (or French summaries, if using the main https://bit.ly/3FAzw2t page instead of the /en/ subpage), no matter the input language. Currently planning on expanding in various directions, including some nice new features like choosing a summary type, better video type identification and LLM routing, and bullet points exec summaries. Pretty basic on functionalities at the moment, and relying on a few tricks. The key stack: - FastAPI + Python backend, with some extra libs for type validation (Pydantic), translation and YouTube transcript fetching. - Chained LLM calls with logic. id video type w/ a light model, break down into segments and sections, parallelise as much as can be, general high level summaries. - Models are a mix of Mistral fine-tune and GPT-3.5, with prompts tailored to the identified type of content and the current context. - Front-end is my first foray into React + Tailwind, with my last front-end experience before that being jQuery. Inspired by a post a while back about Summary Cat, but with a more in-depth approach: all summaries are segment-by-segment to get a more in-depth view at potentially complex videos. Segments are defined as being 3mn long for short videos, 5mn for longer ones. Anything above 45mn is broken down into 45 minute sections, both for ease of context length handling (solidly into gpt-3.5-16k territory, which is already more annoying to run than Mistral-7B, and any further would require GPT-4) and because things get a bit murkier to handle in terms of clarity when going above that limit. (the name is from a common French idiom for "anyway") https://bit.ly/46T0luB October 31, 2023 at 12:56AM

Show HN: YCombinato – A domain-hacked "Hacker News" client https://bit.ly/3SitivG

Show HN: YCombinato – A domain-hacked "Hacker News" client Hi HN, This is a little "HN Reader" experiment I made using a domain hack of "news.ycombinato.com" <- notice the "r" is missing . Basically, I thought it would be cool to make a "clone" of the "Hacker News" URL so you can quickly navigate to "YCombinato" from any post on "news.ycombinator" by just dropping the r in the domain. The benefit is a few extra features like; sorting, searching etc... Unfortunately I realized it's essentially a phishing attack :( according to the browser, which means there will probably be a warning message on most browsers... but it's still usable and hopefully people find it enjoyable. There's so many "Hacker News" clients now that it's almost equivalent to the TODO app for web developers. This project does take it pretty far by replicating the URL, so if moderators are unhappy with it, please let me know It's a static site using the [1] algolia API, but I tried hard to make it fast and snappy. It's fully [2] open-source and hosted on github too. Anyway, thought I'd share it, let me know what you think!
