For far to long ingredient parsers been unavailable to the public. Either due to obsene complexity: https://github.com/nytimes/ingredient-phrase-tagger Or because of the dreaded paywall: https://github.com/mtlynch/zestful-client Wait no longer, I introduce PyIng. An easy to use python package for changing this "2 ounces of spicy melon" into this {name: melon, unit: ounces, qty: 2.0}. https://github.com/whitew1994WW/PyIng

We're building Parsnip to create a "tech tree" of cooking skills that allows anyone to level up on the building blocks of cooking knowledge while tracking their progress over time. It took us a few iterations to figure out the right product; here's the story of our latest pivot: [https://parsnip.substack.com/p/a-new-hope] The goal is to create a personalized way to learn any recipe on the Internet, then use this as a springboard to help home cooks of all levels solve the problem of repeated meal planning in a 10x better way:…

Hi there, Burak here. I built an open-source data copy tool called ingestr (https://github.com/bruin-data/ingestr) I did build quite a few data warehouses both for the companies I worked at, as well as for consultancy projects. One of the more common pain points I observed was that everyone had to rebuild the same data ingestion bit over and over again, and each in different ways: - some wrote code for the ingestion from scratch to various degrees - some used off-the-shelf data ingestion tools like Fivetran / Airbyte I have always disliked both of these approaches,…

Hi HN! Erik here from Banana (formerly the serverless GPU platform), excited to show you what we’ve been working on next: Fructose Fructose is a python package to call LLMs as strongly typed functions. It uses function type signatures to guide the generation and guarantee a correctly typed output, in whatever basic/complex python datatype requested. By guaranteeing output structure, we believe this will enable more complex applications to be built, interweaving code with LLMs with code. For now, we’ve shipped Fructose as a client-only library simply calling gpt-4 (by default) with json…

Hello HN community, I'm excited to share a new command-line tool I developed called purl, inspired by the simplicity of Perl one-liners for efficient text processing. Purl features include Perl-like regex that simplifies text manipulation, it's cross-platform so works equally well on macOS, Linux, etc., and it's quick and easy to install. The tool also supports simple commands such as -replace, -filter, and -exclude, and offers optional color output to enhance readability. Purl is a practical alternative to traditional tools like sed and grep, designed to address some of their common…

Hi HN! While working on a project that involves frequently parsing a lot of feeds, I needed a fast JavaScript-based parser to extract specific fields from feed namespaces. Existing Node packages were either too slow or merged all feed formats, losing namespace information. So I decided to write it myself and created this NPM package with a simple API. Feedsmith supports all feed formats and many popular namespaces, including: Podcast, Media, iTunes, Dublin Core, and more. It can also parse and generate OPML files. I am currently adding support for more namespaces and feed generation for RSS,…

* https://sparser.io * https://github.com/Unibeautify/sparser This is my attempt at creating a universal language parser. It attempts to solve a couple of problems: * Support multiple languages * Recursively extend support to languages embedded within other languages * Output a uniform format for all supported languages This is a personal project so any feedback would be helpful. Something interesting I found after I built it is that this parser is not as fast to write output as many other JavaScript parsers, but its output is much faster to read from due to the…

Hey HN! Erik here from banana.dev We’ve trained a small(ish) language model on structured extraction, and today we’re launching a playground for it at https://anythingtojson.com. Give it a try! This model continues our work on structured generation, following last week’s launch of Fructose[1], a python client for strongly-typed LLM responses. There seem to be two distinct halves of the problem intended to be solved by Fructose and structured generation: 1. the reasoning ability of the model, such as performing chain of thought, creative acts, and natural language tasks. In a way,…
