Show HN: Stargazers Reloaded – LLM-Powered Analyses of Your GitHub Community https://bit.ly/3PXvNkn

Show HN: Stargazers Reloaded – LLM-Powered Analyses of Your GitHub Community Hey friends! We have built an app for getting insights about your favorite GitHub community using large language models. The app uses LLMs to analyze the GitHub profiles of users who have starred the repository, capturing key details like the topics they are interested in. It takes screenshots of the stargazer's GitHub webpage, extracts text using an OCR model, and extracts insights embedded in the extracted text using LLMs. This app is inspired by the “original” Stargazers app written by Spencer Kimball (CEO of CockroachDB). While the original app exclusively used the GitHub API, this LLM-powered app built using EvaDB additionally extracts insights from unstructured data obtained from the stargazers’ webpages. Our analysis of the fast-growing GPT4All community showed that the majority of the stargazers are proficient in Python and JavaScript, and 43% of them are interested in Web Development. Web developers love open-source LLMs! We found that directly using GPT-4 to generate the “golden” table is super expensive — costing $60 to process the information of 1000 stargazers. To maintain accuracy while also reducing cost, we set up an LLM model cascade in a SQL query, running GPT-3.5 before GPT-4, that lowers the cost to $5.5 for analyzing 1000 GitHub stargazers. We’ve been working on this app for a month now and are excited to open source it today :) Some useful links: * Blog Post - https://bit.ly/3PXvPsv... * GitHub Repository - https://bit.ly/3rHqihg * EvaDB - https://bit.ly/3PGgpIU Please let us know what you think!

Show HN: A tool to help optimise your system prompt https://bit.ly/3ZGecBF

Show HN: A tool to help optimise your system prompt I needed a way to choose between different system prompts for a ChatGPT-powered side project, so I built Prompt Picker. The basic idea is: specify some candidate system prompts and a few example user inputs, and then run a blind experiment where you choose the better output from pairs of generations. If you need to optimise the system prompt for your LLM-powered application, give it a try and let me know what you think. https://bit.ly/3ZGeeth September 30, 2023 at 12:29PM

Show HN: Integrate Discord with Jira https://bit.ly/3RFi8k4

Show HN: Integrate Discord with Jira Looks like growing number of companies are adopting Discord as their communication platform (instead of Slack or Teams). I've developed this integration between Discord and Jira and it is much more popular than I expected. By the way I continue improving it, so feedback and insights are very welcome! https://bit.ly/3PWT0UH September 30, 2023 at 09:37AM

Show HN: Launching a new home-grown embedding LLM for RAG https://bit.ly/3PWqUJt

Show HN: Launching a new home-grown embedding LLM for RAG Hi HN! Vectara is a "batteries included" retrieval augmented generation platform. You can upload your rich text documents like PDFs, HTML pages, word docs, etc, or semi-structured JSON and Vectara handles the text and metadata extraction, segmentation, vector embedding, and vector storage, and keyword storage. You can ask a question or perform a search in the UI or via our APIs and Vectara will automatically handle the vectorization, structured metadata filtering, vector+keyword retrieval, hybrid blending, and generative summarization of the results. We're focusing on building and operationalizing the complex infrastructure for vector storage, hybrid retrieval, and generative summarization so you can use fairly high-level APIs and focus on building your own applications. We know that retrieval accuracy is incredibly important for RAG: garbage in, garbage out. We've seen a lot of projects not spend enough time on really getting the retrieval model right and wasting a lot of time/money with poor outcomes. We've spent about the past 6 months working on a new embedding model named Boomerang and just released it on the Vectara platform. We've run it through standard evaluations like BEIR (though we know many models over-fit against BEIR) as well as multi-domain evaluations. We've published the details of our tests for those that really want to dive in, but the TL;DR is that Boomerang beats most/all publicly available models in many/most situations and is particularly strong at cross-lingual and multi-domain tests. We'd love any and all feedback! https://bit.ly/3PUGfdh September 28, 2023 at 04:06PM

Show HN: Backname.io – every IP address gets its own domain https://bit.ly/45ioyZW

Show HN: Backname.io – every IP address gets its own domain I was setting up tests involving DNS resolution recently, where something like 127.0.0.1.service.foo would have been tremendously useful. Back in the day, I'd have used xip.io - but sadly that service died. Well, every excuse is a good one when it comes to writing a DNS server! Backname.io joins nip.io and sslip.io in the wildcard DNS game. https://bit.ly/3EXJiuY September 28, 2023 at 04:27PM

Show HN: UI Shots – Speed up your design research process https://bit.ly/3rlnHK4

Show HN: UI Shots – Speed up your design research process UI Shots help designers explore 1000+ pages from 100+ SaaS apps. This helps them getting inspiration for their next design. Websites are divided into categories like Finance, CRM, Email, Website Builder, AI, Automation and so on, with a total of 18 categories (more coming sooner) Same goes for pages, they are divided into page types e.g. Landing Page, Pricing Page and so on. Users can also filter by colors and can check the fonts used on a page. Further, they can bookmark their favorite designs to have all the inspiration at one place. Few days ago, I launched it on Product Hunt, 50 users have signed up already, with 1 premium subscription. I am looking for feedback to help improve my app. Thank You.
