CLI for Hacker News
Hi HN! I've built hnterminal, a pip package that lets you browse, upvote, and comment on HN from terminal: $ pip install hnterminal $ hnterminal hnterminal is an interactive REPL environment with commands like "get_front_page", "get_tree", "upvote", "reply_to", etc, each of which supports rich arguments and comes with full help documentation. On the read side, hnterminal uses the HN API to construct front page and comment trees. On the write side, it reads the webpage and constructs an API response from parsed information. Unfortunately, a write API does not exist for HN (that I know of).…

Unfortunately, a write API does not exist for HN (that I know of). Login is accomplished with a login cookie that is only stored in memory as it runs. You don't need to login to browse HN, its only for upvotes and commenting.

Hi HN, I hacked a simple service for gathering HN replies and organizing them by the parent's username. The main idea is to be able to efficiently get the latest replies to an HN user.

Edit: for example, here are the latest replies to me [0]. It includes only recent replies, since I…

I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
