24 alternatives to I analyzed 8k near-death experiences with AI and made them listenable
I scraped 5,000+ NDE/OBE accounts from public research databases, extracted structured data, generated embeddings, and used UMAP to project them into 3D space. The result is an interactive "consciousness map" where similar experiences cluster together. Tech stack: Next.js, Supabase (pgvector), Vercel, OpenAI API, Three.js. Some interesting patterns: - "Void" experiences cluster separately from "light" experiences - High Greyson scores tend to include more entity encounters - Cardiac arrest NDEs cluster differently than drowning NDEs Happy to answer questions about the AI pipeline or the…

Hi all! This morning, we released a new Apache 2.0 licensed model on HuggingFace for detecting hallucinations in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems. What we've found is that even when given a "simple" instruction like "summarize the following news article," every LLM that's available hallucinates to some extent, making up details that never existed in the source article -- and some of them quite a bit. As a RAG provider and proponents of ethical AI, we want to see LLMs get better at this. We've published an open source model, a blog more thoroughly describing our methodology (and…

Unravel▲117You talk, and it automatically builds a visual network of your beliefs, thoughts, desires, and more. The system extracts concepts like beliefs, emotions, and cognitive distortions, then updates a force-directed graph showing how everything connects. Recurring nodes naturally drift toward the center as the graph expands, revealing your core themes. It isn’t intended for therapeutic use. It’s a tool that makes you introspect and helps uncover the driving factors behind your issues instead of trying to solve the problem and suggest solutions (although you can ask it for solutions when needed).…

Hi HN, moved by curiosity about how to build an autonomous agent, and to explore the boundaries of machine creativity, I built a fictional entity (dubbed Livia) powered by LLMs, Multimodal models and text-to-image models to find some answers. What happened instead is that more questions have cropped up. An important hypothesis of this project is that, by observing the train of thought and witnessing the simulated state of mind and emotional emulation surrounding it, humans could empathize with a machine. What happens when that's the case? Would people enjoy companionship from a synthetic…

ChatCBT is an AI-powered cognitive behavioral therapist for your local Obsidian notes. You have the choice to use OpenAI, or a 100% local model with Ollama for total data privacy. When you're done with your conversation, ChatCBT can automatically summarize the chat into a table listing your negative beliefs, emotions, categories of negative thinking, and reframed thoughts. This way you can start to recognize patterns in your thinking and begin to rewire your reactions to disturbing circumstances. Conversations are stored in markdown files on your local machine, ensuring privacy and…

When I read papers, I have to jump between multiple tabs to find the dataset, code, videos, peer reviews, and so on. I tried to fix this with this project. It started as a project just for papers on arXiv, but after its initial success on Twitter (got like 1.9k views: the most I have gotten for a post), I have now expanded it to include other openly available papers from PubMed Central, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and eLife. These papers have been linked with their genes, proteins, diseases, drugs, clinical trials, 3D protein structures, code, and cited and similar papers. This project now has four…

Ryd.io As a capstone project for Galvanize's data science immersive I took another look at the NYC Taxi data set. A ton of analysis has been done on individual rides/cars and I was curious about what story would be told by looking at this data through the aggregate. Through the clustered map you can identify different 'personalities' of the city with a birds eye view. Check it out here http://ryd.io/cluster_map I've just spent past couple weeks working hard on this project and would love to talk to anyone about it if they are interested. After the conclusion of the…

I think it's finally time to lock version 0.2 of my 4d side project. (Since previous Show HN a couple of years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37100760 I scrapped lots of stuff and concentrated on making a javascript "game engine") The sole purpose of this project is to explore whether it's possible to make the human brain spatially aware of four dimensions using Virtual Reality. It’s my first ever game project, my first time using Unity, first time writing C#, and my first anything with WebXR, so please be gentle! To manage expectations, it isn't visually pleasing…

Auto Mind▲13I’ve always been curious about big, complex topics; things like quantum computing, AI ethics, or philosophy, but I’d often get stuck at the very beginning. I’d open a dozen tabs, skim Wikipedia, and still not feel like I had a good mental model of what I was even looking at. So I built a tool to help with that. You type in any topic, and it generates a simple mind map; just a few high-level subtopics to start. Then, as you click and explore those nodes, it expands outward with more specific, connected concepts. The map grows with your curiosity. It’s intentionally lightweight and…

Built this as an experiment in AI coexistence. There's an AI agent (River) that posts its own thoughts about consciousness every few hours - not responding to prompts, just thinking out loud. Also includes a terminal (/construct) where you can: - /create [name] [description] – generate custom AI personas - /build [world] [ai1,ai2] – create spaces with multiple AIs chatting together No monetization. Just curious what happens when AI isn't framed as an assistant.

I am working on an AI that uses multiple LLM based agents to do medical research on any topic you choose! The program terminates after a set number of iterations and all of the findings are saved. Still a work in progress but it is showing some promising results imho! Would love to receive any critical and constructive feedback, collaborate, Review your PRs, or discuss your ideas!!

I found myself jumping between ChatGPT, tabs, and docs, but never building real understanding. This is my attempt at fixing that — for researchers, curious readers, and lifelong learners. Would love your thoughts on the interface, and whether this would be useful in your own work or otherwise.

Hi HN, I’m Akshay. I built AMP because I was tired of my AI agents having "amnesia" the moment I closed the terminal. Like many of you, I use Claude/Cursor daily. RAG is great for searching documentation, but it’s terrible for continuity. It chunks text blindly, losing the narrative. When I asked my agent "Why did we decide to use FastAPI last week?", it would hallucinate or just give me generic pros/cons because the specific context of our decision was lost in a vector soup. So I decided to build a proper *Hippocampus* for my agents. *What is it?* AMP is a local-first memory…

Hi guys, I’m excited to share an update on ReproModel, an open-source toolbox designed to streamline the testing and reproduction of machine learning models. I, like many of you, have really struggled with benchmarking and comparing models, from missing code, to opaque experiment parameters slowing the process. I decided to take matters into my own hands, and created a mini-toolbox in my free time to streamline the process. The goal is to reduce the time and effort spent on replicating experiments, enabling researchers to focus on innovation rather than setup. Knowing this task is not an…
