Voice issue was recently fixed! Now you can send voice in, get text out, and use your own TTS API if needed.

I was in the early beta and judging from how it's worked in my tests, there's definitely more going on under the hood then the most straightforward approach of "embed all your emails, find nearest neighbors, then ask the LLM to answer".

Kudos on innovating around applying LLMs to real-world problems and going beyond the bog-standard approach. It'd be interesting to see a more detailed blog on the technical approach you took!

Show HN: Hacker News ChatGPT Plugin

anant — Sat, 06 May 2023 15:51:05 +0000

I recently received access to develop and use ChatGPT plugins, and embarked on a project to build a Hacker News integration as a learning exercise. My goal was to enable retrieval of content from HN to answer questions and produce insights in conversations with ChatGPT. I documented my journey in this blog post, which will hopefully be helpful to other plugin developers or anyone looking to learn more about embeddings.

You can try the experience even if you don't have plugin access on ChatGPT through the demo on hn.kix.in - it's a loose approximation but should give you a sense of what's possible. I've been having a lot of fun getting concise answers from the collective wisdom on HN for a wide range of topics!

In many ways this work is similar to the "ShowHN: AskHN" [1] demo shown here a few months ago by the folks at patterns.app. The main differences are in the real-time data integration (you can ask questions about articles submitted as recently as 15 minutes ago), integration with the ChatGPT plugin API, use of GPT-3.5-turbo instead of GPT-3 "davinci", and different approaches taken for embedding generation and semantic search.

The source code for everything is on Github [2], pull requests are most welcome.

Love the app and use it as a thought log all the time! It would be great if I didn't have to select the output type upfront but rather just free-flow dictate. I don't always know if something will turn into a blog post or small tweet at the time I am dictating.

If you could summarize the content into a few words (similar to how ChatGPT names its chat thread), and I could generate a specific output type from that list in the history, that would be a game changer for me!

The Microsoft LoRA is actually the same concept as the one applied here, the original method was applied to LLMs and then brough to diffusion models recently.

I made ThinMusic so I could listen to Apple Music on my Linux desktop and also scrobble to last.fm reliably.

Between MusicKit JS which made ThinMusic possible, and Spotify's SDK, feels like there could be some cool music related things built in the near future.

Eager to know your thoughts!

You never drained the longTimer channel, so when you say "We agree that longTimer has fired, right?"; that's not quite true. After you call Reset(), you're still getting the value from the first firing, because that's the first time you read from the channel at all.

The docs are quite clear on this behavior and say "Timer will send the current time on its channel after at least duration d." -- key words being at least and says nothing about when you choose to read from the channel.

Almost all of the author's complaints revolve around the Control Panel. Most users won't ever see the Control Panel, just the Settings app.

The Control Panel is a legacy piece they decided to keep around for the "enterprise"; just like Windows 10 also still includes the old Internet Explorer.

Cool project! I was surprised to see Go has 167k libraries vs. 153k from Node. The Go libraries are being counted incorrectly -- each vendored library is also counted (which is common practice for many Go apps) -- so the number is very inflated.

He clearly mentions that the statements are not in a function body, rather just in the global portion of a C file.
