I think that listing is an anomaly; I see models with similar specs for cheaper (~$5000) on Lenovo's site. But they do come with Nvidia Ada GPUs.

True, you can spend more money than this and probably get better performance. I already had data from Amazon so I thought this would be a fun list.

Thank you, that would be much appreciated!

Slug selection uses a better AI prompt now.

I agree with the lack of vertical alignment. It's not just you, many people have the same view, and there's a reason it's been used in newspapers. And there's a reason it's not used when the content and layout is generated automatically, but I'm going to work on a solution.

Thank you, I will browse through your comments :)

By averaging the embeddings.

The 'COMMENTS' text takes you to the post.

Maybe you could add keywords on a separate 'customize' page?

That would be really cool!

It should work better now. I improved the prompt a bit to extract the main content.

That's a good idea. I've been experimenting and markdown seems to produce better results.

Yes. Your project sounds cool, post it!

I've added an option to change images to color or remove them. You can view the comments by clicking 'SEE COMMENTS' at the end of the blurb. I'll look into making it into a PWA.

I'm thinking of adding that. How would it be different from visiting the page and reading your personalized frontpage?

It's a bit harder to make it look like an actual newspaper without manually editing the content.

Yes, I did not think of that. Thank you, I was thinking of how to fix it.

I wonder what part of it was detected as an ad. Which adblocker?
mahin··on Show HN: Hacker News frontpage as a print newspaper that you can personalize
Yes! Came across it while developing this. I loved it. There's also this one for reddit: https://unim.press/

Thanks! I'll experiment with a denser layout. I do think there's too much whitespace, but people usually prefer that.

I could write a blog post about it if you'd like.

It gets embeddings from open AI and compares them using cosine similarity. Stories are weighted by similarity, dissimilarity and HN score.

I thought upvotes and time ago as more important, and wanted to minimize the meta information.

I'll try to untangle the codebase!

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback!

Slugs are chosen using AI, but it doesn't work too well, as you mentioned. I will work on iterating the prompt to try and get better results.

A 'remove' option would be a good addition. It would directly remove the element, and not track it as a 'disliked' story.

Since this whole thing is automated, and there's no curation involved beyond embeddings and HN points, it's hard to display it like a traditional newspaper, with proper vertical alignment (since images and blurbs are manually entered to fill the content there).

I think grouping the newspaper into categories is a great idea. I don't think it works with the daily frontpage, since there isn't enough content (just 30 stories on the front page), but it would work quite well in a monthly version. Your categories are very helpful and I will email you about them.

Nice! I recently worked on a chrome extension that personalizes the frontpage based on embeddings.

Upvotes can't be tracked. I thought of keeping it separate, as perhaps you might use favorites for bookmarking or some other use.
