etewiah··on Sam Altman is asking "what would you like OpenAI to build/fix in 2024?"
And the twitterverse is going wild!
etewiah··on Show HN: Value Proposition Evaluator (GPT-4)
Exactly. I have found many authors of custom GPTs (or gipeties as I call them) to be quite lazy when it comes to explaining what their GPT does. At gipeties.com I am curating the best custom gipeties and I reached out to several dozen authors for more content so I could feature their custom GPT for free. Only a couple went to the trouble of creating a screen grab.

Would be a nice tool to open source

Looks good, I've added it to gipeties:

https://gipeties.com/s/g-e7a7lbzlq-chatgpt-co-founder-fit

If you'd like to create a screencast of it in use or some extra content I'd be happy to feature that.

etewiah··on Sorry, but a new prompt for GPT-4 is not a paper
Behind all this is a valid question. How does one evaluate prompts and LLMs? As gipeties (custom gpts) become more popular millions of hours will be wasted by ones that have been built badly. Without some sort of automated quality control, gipeties will become a victim of their own success.

You won't get much traction on here.

You can try listing on here though: https://www.reddit.com/r/gipeties/

etewiah··on OpenAI delays launch of custom GPT store until early 2024
This is awesome for the movement to rename GPT to gipety and GPTS to gipeties ;)
etewiah··on Linexjlin/GPTs: leaked prompts of GPTs
This is useful, thanks for sharing. I will incorporate it in my gipeties.com directory of GPTS (yes, I don't like the name GPTs so I came up with gipety as an alternative ;)
etewiah··on Ask HN: Any custom GPTs that provide significant value over regular ChatGPT?
Ironically, the best custom GPTS I found was one that helps build better GPTS. Have lost the link for it but will try to find it later.
etewiah··on Top GPTs
To rank on HN you need to be authentic.

That site has nothing to explain who is behind it.....

etewiah··on GPTs Hunter v2 – the largest GPTs directory
The GPTs discovery space is heating up so much that there is now a directory of directories of directories of GPTs https://www.reddit.com/r/gipeties/comments/180fyko/a_directo...?
etewiah··on Reverse-engineering GPTs for fun and data
"OpenAI has launched GPTs (such a bad name),"

- I totally agree with you on that!!!

I prefer gipeties ( I even bought the domain gipeties.com )

Sam
etewiah··on Three senior researchers have resigned from OpenAI
I'm super curious to know what happens to the GPTs store.

I've started a directory of GPTs on gipety.com so personally the longer it takes for the official store to be launched the better ;)

etewiah··on OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
It's because he failed to recognise that gpt would be widely referred to as gipety and someone else has registered the domain name and is raking in the money ;)
etewiah··on Exploring GPTs: ChatGPT in a trench coat?
Am I the only one who thinks GPTS is a terrible name. I see a lot of people struggling with the name and googling for GPTs will always be a bit hit and miss....

I came up with the concept of a gipety (singular) and gipeties (plural) and would be quite chaffed if I could figure a way of making it stick ;)

etewiah··on Show HN: AssistantHunter, a GPT that searches through 9K+ GPTs for your task
Disappointing not to see anything listed yet.

My approach is to list a few already even as I am building the functionality for the site:

https://gipeties.com

Functionality I am currently working on: - curation - ranking - discussion

etewiah··on Ask HN: "My GPT"s
It is crazy how bad the name GPTS is. I see a lot of people struggling to know what to call them and "My GPT's" is as good as any I guess.

I went ahead and created the concept of a gipety (singular) and gipeties (plural). I'll spend the rest of this week trying to popularise those words and see how it goes....

etewiah··on Ask HN: Why is it so hard to find a technical cofounder?
I feel your pain. Will drop you an email.

My stack is ruby, rails, js/Vue with quasar, PostresSQL and I deploy to my own VPS with dokku. My main focus in on real estate ideas.

Would be good if others join in to make this a matchmaking thread of sorts.

etewiah··on Ask HN: Have you seen any useful GPTs yet?
Ha ha, I just saw this comment now after asking this question:

Better Names for GPT / GPTs?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38251317

etewiah··on Ask HN: Better Names for GPT / GPTs
In my mind something this new and different deserves a unique name. A bit like google came to define something significant. A name that search engines can recognise without too much ambiguity.

Having said that grok is quite an appealing name too.

etewiah··on Share Your GPT's
Anyone else here think the names gpt and gpts are rather unimaginative???

A gipety sounds way cooler.

etewiah··on QR code scams reported on by the BBC
To be honest I am surprised these aren't more common. Wonder if there are any smart ways to make them more secure. Perhaps phones should default to warning about the risks each time a code is scanned....

Interesting project. Do you use the resales API at all? I have a client in the Marbella area who could be interested if you do.

Gems like this make all the time I spend on HN worthwhile. Thank you so much Jeremy Howard, you are a legend!!
etewiah··on Bram Moolenaar has died
Now this is a bit random but many years ago I run into a Dutch couple running some kind of wildlife farm in Ghana. When they found out I was geekish they said a relative of theirs was big in the open source world. Turned out to be Bram.

I can't quite remember what the relationship was but since then every time I use vim (not often admittedly ) I think of this Dutch woman looking after a jumble of wild animals in the middle of nowhere...

etewiah··on Ask HN: Help me remember the creator of a key piece of Apple software
Brilliant!! Thank you @samwillis. This is exactly what HN is great at. Don't know how else I would have found him.

I love the fact that he had a vision and went off to develop it in isolation. I feel today's obsession with "talk to the customer first" is missing something....

etewiah··on Show HN: BBC “In Our Time”, categorised by Dewey Decimal, heavy lifting by GPT
Well spotted!! My degree was in African Studies and I remember one of the first lectures talked about a famous Oxford historian (Hugh Trevor Roper?) who said something like - there is no history in Africa, only the wild gyrations of savage tribes..... Made me very sad.
