Show HN: I made an AI-digested news to help you survive information overload
Hi HN,

I made an AI-digested news platform called Tailored News to help people efficiently consume content in today’s information-overloaded world. Our platform uses AI to curate and summarize the most important stories, providing concise insights and weekly audio briefings. This approach ensures that you stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.

Key Features:

- AI-Digested Content: We use AI to summarize news, highlight key points, and generate an audio version

- Full Context in a Nutshell: I created the Minimum Context Understanding (MCU) concept to provide brief context summaries for each piece of content, delivering a complete or most important understanding of long texts in just a few sentences.

- Comprehensive Summaries: More detailed summaries to give you in-depth understanding.

- Q&A Section: Questions and answers to help clarify key aspects of the news.

- Weekly Audio Briefings: Listen to concise summaries of the week’s top stories.

I’m looking forward to your feedback and any suggestions you might have!
Ask HN: Built a DB of over 50M+ Org Names for API use. Should it be made public?
TLDR: Built an Internal API that maps over 50M+ Organization Names to their Domains and Logos. Planning to make this API Endpoint Publicly available for other devs to use. Good Idea or Bad???

I run an AI startup where we fine-tune Open Source LLama and Falcon models to turn them into Enterprise Grade Models with longer context windows and better reasoning capabilities.
We ended up collecting over 50 Million+ organization data. Recently we came across a use case from one of our customers that they want to use AI to create an auto populating CRM.
So right now we have an Internal API that maps all Organization Domains to their Official Names and their Logos. Useful for all those Devs who want to fetch Organization Logos and Organization Names from Domains or vice versa.
Should I be converting the API into a Publicly Accessible one for people to use it in their projects?!!??
The C&O Canal (built as a competitor to the Erie Canal) has a 184m (605 ft) lift to get to Cumberland, which is where they gave up trying to reach the Ohio River, haven been beaten by their competitor, the B&O Railroad.

Per Wikipedia, their original planned route had another 2700 ft of total elevation change to make the Ohio River, about 4 times what they had already done.

Pennsylvania's answer to the Erie Canal was the Main Line of Public Works, which was a canal with the hard parts replaced with railroads. The Juniata Division alone was as big a lift as the C&O or Erie, and there was another canal of comparable lift to get down into Pittsburgh.
That's a let down after all the hype in the opening pages.
> It's not abuse of the form. It is the form.

> There is no such thing as an impartial expert witness in the current system

You're saying a form is bad because it doesn't line up with how it ought to be (you said "impartial"). But in saying so, you imply there is an ought. That is the real form (what it ought to be): an impartial expert witness.

When a form only presently exists in an abuse thereof, that doesn't necessarily invalidate the form as a worthy pursuit.

History can tell us whether such a form is worth pursuing. Expert witnesses in the US have been more or less impartial in the past. Communism has never been achieved, and its pursuit has never led to well-being of the people. Both are "ideal forms" in a philosophical sense, but history bears out which is worth pursuing and practically achievable.

So my take is that what's needed is reform of expert testimony through congressional law, including independent review of DAs, to ensure they prosecute expert witnesses who failed a legal impartiality test.
One other difference for a person sitting and thinking with their eyes closed is that they have not been doing this all their lives, and have the memories and other mental abilities that have come with interacting physically with the world. Even so (or perhaps because of it?) most people do not cope well with extended sensory deprivation.

The experience of someone who has had only very limited sensory experience of the world might tell us more about this, and in that regard, there was an article not so long ago here on HN about Helen Keller’s memories of what her life seemed like before Ann Sullivan began attempting to communicate with her. My recollection is that she reported having little sense of herself in the world until that time.

I don't really have to imagine it. That seems exactly like every company that has an internal wiki or something similar.

Show HN: SaaSpect – tool to analyze SaaS projects
Hey HN,

I'm excited to share that my new project, SaaSpect, is now live! As a software developer passionate about the SaaS space, I've built this toolkit to help investors and VCs easily gather and analyze data on micro SaaS projects.

SaaSpect offers a streamlined six-step process, leveraging Gemini AI for in-depth analysis and Firecrawl for necessary web scraping. This combination allows us to retrieve detailed project information, conduct competitive and market analysis, suggest enhancements, prepare questions, and perform investment analysis with precision.

While I believe the tool is robust, I acknowledge that some aspects, particularly market analysis, could benefit from further refinement by experts.

Your feedback is incredibly important to me as I continue to improve SaaSpect. If you find it useful, an upvote here or on the ProductHunt post would mean the world. Thank you for checking it out!

Best,
It’s humbling to think of how the pathways of accepted history get blinded by the suppression, or more likely disregard for information that doesn’t align with the framework of religious or cultural belief. Makes you wonder about what things that are crucial and important to us now will be in the dustbin 500 years from now!

I was hooked to “Age of Empires” as a kid. I remember asking a teachers and others if Alexander the Great invaded India, and the Romans were building walls in Scotland, why didn’t they bother visiting anyone in India, Ethiopia, etc.

The answers were always unsatisfactory to me… I’m glad people are pursuing this knowledge.

You (and the rest of the scolds in this thread) are allowed to do whatever you want with your money. A $3000/mo mortgage spread between ten (or more!) like-minded friends makes for a very affordable hobby. Get you a second house, open it up to all and sundry, and be the change you want to see in the world. No, it won't solve homelessness overnight, but it's not nothing. You'd be doing something in-line with your values, without forcing others to spend their tax-dollars on it, and you get ALL the points. If you blog/vlog/whatever about it regularly, you might get others interested and following your example. Bam - homegrown grass-roots homelessness dent, without third-party involvement.
How does this ruling fix that issue when the court admits it’s impossible to avoid ambiguous laws? Now it’s just unelected justices deciding instead of unelected agency bureaucrats. I think there’s an argument that could be worse, given the lifetime appointments of the court; at least the people have the chance to course correct the executive branch every four years.

I think we can all agree that the best solution is unambiguous laws, but that’s an impossibility by the courts own admission. Chevron already had a mechanism to prevent agency overreach by giving the court discretion to determine the reasonableness of an agency interpretation. This now just puts the onus on the court to do it all, and they admit they don’t have domain expertise. I fail to see how that is a better solution.

APPL: A Prompt Programming Language
Here are the current details:

- "Go pills" are either dextroamphetamine (Similar to adderall), or modafinil. They are not used for normal day-to-day training. They are used reasonably heavily on deployments and international flights, to keep you sharp in these situations (Sudden combat after a long uneventful air patrol, or just fighting drowsiness while crossing the ocean and needing to mid-air refuel for the 5th time etc.)

No-go pills (eg ambien) are also common on deployments, mainly to deal with shift changes, or dealing with sunlight affecting the circadian rythm.

Use is up to the individual. I found that Dex has a severe impact on my sleep, even when taking 14+ hour prior. It is a very effective mental performance enhancer and obliterates exhaustion IMO, if you don't develop a tolerance. Ie, if you have available when flying, and take only when needed.

Rule of thumb: Always fly with dex available, but only take when needed. Never have ambien anywhere in the cockpit, or you risk mixing them up.
Removing entropy from transistors is expensive - computers use just two states separated by large voltage differences. In AI, entropy isn't a problem as we don't care about repeatable results. Therefore, why not use more of the linear or even non linear range of the transistor for this purpose?

The specification of exactly what you want probably needs to be refined, but for that it's probably helpful on your end to know what is available and what is needed.

There are different methodologies for taking Stable Diffusion and adding some new concept (like a product with some images) to it. Hypernetworks, textual inversion and dreambooth are three methods.

I was trying to put the concept of specific people that I had a number of good photos of into Stable Diffusion. They say for images of people that dreambooth is better than hypernetworks and textual inversion, and it was. Hypernetworks were nowhere near as good for pictures of people, but I got a good picture once in a while. I never got anything good from textual inversion for pictures of people.

A more recent technique that is being used to put new concepts into Stable Diffusion is LoRa. I'm not that familiar with it but it being used and is another alternative method.

I have an Nvidia RTX 3060 card and spent hours (sometimes a day) making each model, and usually I had dozens of decent pictures (sometimes over 100) of each subject. It came out well. I needed a number of high quality photos from different angles of each subject. Not just from different angles but some full body shots, mid body shots and then some shots of just the face. Also if they were wearing glasses in 95% of the photos, most of the output would have them wearing glasses. Also if most of the photos I had were of them in group photos and I could barely crop their face out from the faces around them in the group shot, it was harder to do.

I don’t know that I agree. It’s exactly the understanding I was given from an engineering law course, for example. Prior to this ruling, the regulatory agencies were given latitude to interpret ambiguous law as long as they were determined reasonable by the court. It’s also what I think most people understand, given the way people rail against agencies rather than statutes.

To be clear, I think there is a distinction between declaring if a law is constitutional and resolving ambiguities for non-constitutional, domain specific issues. I think the court is eminently qualified in one area, but much less so (by their own admission) in the other. I think those are two different aspects that often get conflated.

As I understand it, they were able to train and classify XOR using 32 of their breadboard nodes, which visually looks roughly a 1 metre square. XOR can usually be done with 1 or 2 neurons. And MNIST digit classification with ~25,000.

Bringing all those numbers together we get 1 neuron = 32 nodes = 1sqm, would give a size of about a 900m square if breadboarded out for ordinary MNIST digits. (Assuming of course, no power transmission losses...!)

I'm hoping, if not outright assuming, that I've made some kind of catastrophic error here.
