That was a really good read. Glad I clicked
geedzmo··on Show HN: PageIndex – Vectorless RAG
"Human-like Retrieval: Simulates how human experts navigate and extract knowledge from complex documents." - pretty sure I use control-f when I look for stuff
geedzmo··on Posthog/.cursorrules
As someone who has tried both, cursor is more powerful but I still somehow still prefer GH copilot because it’s usually less eager much cheaper (if you’ve already got a pro account). I’ve recently been trying Vscode Insiders and their new agent version which is analogous to some of the cursor modes, but it’s still very hit or miss. I’m expecting that in the long run all the great features from cursor (like cursor rules) will trickle back down to VS Code.
geedzmo··on Phind Model beats GPT-4 at coding, with GPT-3.5 speed and 16k context
I don't see how this would be relevant for a code model?

The code model isn't trained to retrieve papers/articles, it's meant to complete code. Whether or not you find hallucination in a unrelated task isn't particularly interesting.

I just store my vault in a backed up iCloud folder. Syncs to Apple devices automatically for free.
geedzmo··on Why the World Economy Hasn’t Collapsed Yet
Classic Malthusian viewpoint, nothing new to see here. If only it were true that oil is running out - it might force us to think about alternatives more.
geedzmo··on Ask HN: I created a news shortening algorithm and am not sure how to utilize it
Extractive summarisation of news isn't very hard, I guess it doesn't hurt to put it in an API wrapper and have a pay per use model, but don't expect this to sell.

Also FYI, depending on the News outlet the important info is usually at the top - it's maybe the first thing they teach you in Journalism (don't bury the lede). You don't need to read the "Bible-size" article if you read the first paragraph and it's well written.

However, if you did abstractive summarisation instead, that might be more interesting esp for financial news - you might have buyers.

geedzmo··on Ana is a Python, PHP, and C inspired dynamically typed scripting language
Interesting project but I can't unread the fact that you chose to name something Ana followed by a word which starts with an L.

Wish you all the best.

geedzmo··on The singularity is close?
I first read this as an April fools joke and honestly it got me good that it wasn't.

As someone who works in AI and multi-modal models, our modern "AI" are just tools. Yes models can get designed by other models, and yes some of these models (Bert and co) have been getting more general over the recent years. But to say that we are close to AGI is like saying that you are close to a moon landing when you've only started jumping - it's ridiculous.

We'd all be better off if we spent less time hyping it up and theorising on what it could mean for human society. And yes I do understand the paperclip argument but I don't buy it.

geedzmo··on Launch HN: Templarbit (YC S17) – Protect Your Web Apps from XSS Attacks
Watch out you got a typo on the front page: "A central dashboard shows all secuirty events and directs your attention to the exact part of your application that has issues" - security is spelled wrong
