Show HN: BBC “In Our Time”, categorised by Dewey Decimal, heavy lifting by GPT
72 by genmon | 26 comments on Hacker News.
I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I asked for a Dewey classification... and it worked. So I replaced a few days of fiddly work with 3 cents per inference and an overnight data run. My takeaway is that I'll be using LLMs as function call way more in the future. This isn't "generative" AI, more "programmatic" AI perhaps? So I'm interested in what temperature=0 LLM usage looks like (you want it to be pretty deterministic), at scale, and what a language that treats that as a first-class concept might look like.

Show HN: Plato – Airtable for your SQL database
22 by mgummelt | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi! I've been a member of HN for fifteen years so today I'm very excited to share Plato. Plato is an Airtable-like interface for your Postgres or MySQL database. It's an admin panel for devs and non-devs alike to manage your DB. We see teams use Plato for customer support, customer success, ops, etc.. We built Plato because we think more people should be able to build and extend internal tools. We thought it was strange that even though low-code is supposed to democratize development, all of the low-code internal tool builders are marketed to engineers! Airtable is a familiar UI that fits the relational model well, so we've been inspired by their work. Even the engineers on our team use Plato quite a bit, since it's often easier than spinning up a SQL prompt. Some features: - Postgres and MySQL support - Visual query controls (sorts, filters, hiding columns). No SQL. - Joins by "expanding" foreign keys - Virtual columns for tracking new data - Auto-generated backlinks for one-to-many relationships - Read-only locking for individual tables - Virtual tables for sharing new views with your team Plato today works on databases with a public IP (just whitelist our IP to connect), but we're soon rolling out an on-prem version. We can also set up an SSH tunnel for you if you contact us at team@plato.io. We'd love to hear your feedback! Thanks. - Michael

Show HN: EqualTo Chat, a ChatGPT-like application for generating spreadsheets
2 by diarmuid_glynn | 0 comments on Hacker News.
We've combined OpenAI (text-davinci-003) and our spreadsheet technology to provide a "conversational" interface for the creation and refinement of a simple spreadsheet (including formulas). You can try it out immediately, no login / registration required. There are some limitations: * Our spreadsheet tech doesn't yet support all Excel formulas (we're working on it!) * text-davinci-003 doesn't always generate satisfactory responses to prompts (it's still pretty amazing how well it performs, IMHO) Note that you can manually adjust the spreadsheet and ask follow-up questions. I'm happy to answer whatever questions you might have about EqualTo Chat! -Diarmuid

Show HN: Versionfeeds – Custom RSS feeds for releases of your favorite software
2 by Kovah | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I am quite excited as this is my second product, launched today: Versionfeeds. https://ift.tt/DiBqyrv What is Versionfeeds? I was quite annoyed by the fact that I had no central place where I could see all the software releases. I use software a lot, be it at my job, to build my side projects, or tools hosted on my NAS at home. It's literally dozens, if not hundreds of tools, packages or even programming languages. And most of them receive updates regularly. That is why I built Versionfeeds. It allows me to bundle all the releases for the software I need and love, into one dedicated feed. At the moment, all public repositories on Github and Gitlab are available. You can also search on npm (Javascript) and Packagist (PHP) for your software. More providers will come soon. The feeds adhere to the Atom standard and can be consumed with any feed reader. If maintainers use markdown in their release notes, it will be converted to HTML. Any feedback, wishes and ideas are welcome. Please share your thoughts with me. <3
