24 alternatives to Wikipedia and Llama 3 70B

Hey everyone! I built a little app for exploring Wikipedia. https://atlaslib.com/wikipedia You can tap on a suggestion or ask anything. Why? Wikipedia is awesome but search on Wikipedia unfortunately is not. I often use Google to search Wikipedia but I wondered if there is a more direct way. Some of the huge Wikipedia articles (e.g. animals, biology, history, health, science) are thorough but a bit dry. A language model like llama 3 70b helps with both: discovery and with making a dry topic more approachable. behind the scenes: - client: 150 lines vanilla javascript, tailwind…

    Connect two articles on Wikipedia, but do it the long way. I've always been a fan of the theory of six degree of separation, but it's an overused concept when exploring the Wiki-graph. Instead of showing the shortest path, which in my opinion is "boring" and ends up connecting super-important central articles, I came up with my own method: WikiBinge selects the smaller, less represented articles on Wikipedia. In a WikiBinge path, the underdogs are the kings! How does it work? It's pretty straightforward! Compute PageRank on the Wiki-graph and assign as weight of each edge the PageRank value…

    Hi HN, WikTok is a UI for Wikipedia that lets you quickly swipe (or use your arrow keys) to navigate between random and recommended articles (based on the previous articles you interacted most with). It's just a fun project I hacked together this weekend, so may be a little rough around the edges, but I'd love to get your thoughts. Let me know if you have any suggestions (or find any interesting articles!) Cheers,
