Show HN: Public data research using ChatGPT
2 by caoxhua | 0 comments on Hacker News.
After trying some queries, I found ChatGPT is good at finding public data, sometimes it may not be accurate, but overall, pretty good. Then why don't we make the data in a beautiful way ready to share? Columns + ChatGPT (alpha) is for data researchers! Looking forward to any feedback or suggestion...

Hi all! Sharing a recent side project that uses LLMs to reason, research, and predict future events. It's far from perfect, unbiased, and calibrated, but it's an interesting proof-of-concept. Demo: https://oracle.sshh.io/ Code: https://ift.tt/8g2J3mA

Show HN: Diofanti.org Tracking government decisions in Greece
2 by fforflo | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN, I'm Florents, and I'm a data engineer based in Greece. I've developed Diofanti.org , an application that tracks public spending and government procurement & decisions in Greece. Here's the big picture: There's diavgeia.gov.gr (diavgeia kinda translates to "transparency") where all Greek state organizations (think ministries, authorities, municipalities, regions) should publish their executive decisions. There are roughly 20K decisions published daily (Greece has a population of 11M). If a decision is not openly published, it cannot be executed legally. So it is a legal prerequisite. A decision could be a payment from a municipality or ministry to a vendor, a procurement of software licenses, or even a parking permit to a disabled citizen. Now, decisions are typically published as PDF documents (with all the legal jargon and details), which makes the law happy but doesn't say much to the average citizen; There's also an API, though, and diofanti taps on that to fetch and analyze those decisions and make them easy to visualize and analyze. So the use cases diofanti supports are like the following: • How much did my hometown pay during the last week? Which vendors are the most frequent receivers? • What are the decisions that my local town makes and that I should know about? • For non-financial decisions, one could go back in time and assess a state's stance on a particular issue. For example, a few years back, diofanti was used to uncover anti-abortion campaigns financed by some state organizations. As you might expect, it's become very popular among journalists and political (opposition) parties. The reason I'm publishing this on HN is to ask the following: 1. Do you have any pointers to similar efforts in other countries? 2. Any ideas to make this better ? 3. Forward this to anyone / any organization that you think would like to support financially Additional material * Blog post describing the thinking behind this [0] (in Greek, but can be translated easily): * Demo video [1] 0: https://ift.tt/dEFqfm4 1: https://youtu.be/vdpHyxQqyWQ

Show HN: LingoSync.ai translates videos into 40 languages
2 by ManuelKiessling | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Dear HN, a friend and I are testing the waters of launching a SaaS offering. We've built a prototype of LingoSync.ai, which will allow customers to translate the audio of any video with spoken text into 40+ languages. The process will be 100% automatic. We take the original audio, translate it into the target languages, and create translated videos where the translated audio roughly matches the timestamps of the original audio. It's not perfectly lip-synced (we also do not alter the video stream), but translated sentences start where original sentences started, which is good enough for many use-cases. We are currently running a closed beta and created a landingpage which showcases the product and allows to sign up for the waiting list: https://lingosync.ai/en Feedback and sign-ups are welcome!
