i’m working on instantrows, basically trying to kill the pain of dealing with csv/json/excel/parquet exports when all you really want is to join them together, do some quick aggregations, and share the result without begging a data engineer or spinning up a whole warehouse. excel breaks, bi tools are overkill, emailing final_v2.csv is a nightmare. the idea is a browser based, no download tool where you drop files in, it just works, and you get a live link you can send around. curious if anyone else here runs into this every week and what hacks you use today.

Even taking of the language filter you only get 5 results for a very common function!

I have done this as well. I once got an travel insurance claim rejected by some outsourced handler and found out who the CEO of the insurance startup was. I emailed him and magically it got resolved

I've been working on an exciting project called DataSignal, where I'm developing a sophisticated Named Entity Recognition (NER) and enrichment system. This system is designed to identify and extract key entities from blocks of text, such as names, locations, or organizations, and then provide rich contextual information about them. The goal is to transform raw text into meaningful data that users can easily understand and leverage in various applications.

The real magic of DataSignal lies in how it delivers this contextual information. It can be seamlessly integrated into your workflow through a browser plugin, which instantly highlights and explains entities as you browse the web. For developers, DataSignal can be embedded directly into a webpage via JavaScript, enhancing the content on the page with dynamic insights. Additionally, it offers a REST API, allowing for flexible and customizable integration into other software systems.

Whether you're a developer looking to enhance your application with smart text analysis or someone who wants to streamline research and data gathering, DataSignal is poised to bring a new level of insight and efficiency to text analysis. This project aims to make complex data more accessible and actionable, transforming how we interact with and interpret information.

I recently expanded a project that allows for easy benchmarking of local language models, specifically for Named Entity Recognition (NER) tasks. By using a simple JSON configuration, you can now evaluate and compare the performance of different models installed through Ollama without the need for extensive coding.

The idea is to make it easier for developers and data scientists to test various models and see how they perform on specific tasks, all within a streamlined framework.

If you're interested in learning more about the approach and trying it out, you can check out the full details in my blog post: Creating a JSON Framework to Test Local Language Models for NER — https://datasignal.uk/blog/ner-framework.html

The code is open source and available on GitHub: NER-llm-blog Repo — https://github.com/DataSignalOrg/NER-llm-blog/tree/master

I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions for improvements!

Agreed- I worked at a company a few years back that build on a product using postgrest and an angular frontend for everything with nothing in between- which felt wrong as well
