Hacker News ChatGPT Plugin

I recently received access to develop and use ChatGPT plugins, and embarked on a project to build a Hacker News integration as a learning exercise. My goal was to enable retrieval of content from HN to answer questions and produce insights in conversations with ChatGPT. I documented my journey in this blog post, which will hopefully be helpful to other plugin developers or anyone looking to learn more about embeddings. You can try the experience even if you don't have plugin access on ChatGPT through the demo on hn.kix.in - it's a loose approximation but should give you a sense of what's…

Hacker News ChatGPT Plugin launched on May 6, 2023 with 6 votes, #2,023 of 4,910 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

  • My recommendation engine for Hacker News2023 · hn-recommend.julienc.me · ▲314

    Hi! I’m Julien and I built a recommendation engine for Hacker News. I feel like this website is a gold mine. Every day, I find some very interesting stories about a topic. And sometimes, I want to find other stories covering that same topic but I can’t. Hacker News has years of history of awesome discussion and ressources. Unfortunately, I think HN Algolia isn’t helpful in searching these old threads. As a student, I want to learn a lot from this website. This is why I created HN Recommend. Input a sentence or the URL of an article, and get the most popular and similar posts from Hacker…

    Search HN for interesting comment sections2024 · searchhacker.news · ▲60

    I built this tool to help me find interesting discussions on Hacker News. I love reading HN discussions almost more than the articles themselves. However, I found that full text search, although highly performant, is not always good at surfacing interesting discussions on a certain topic -- especially if you don't know what to search for exactly. I built this by scraping the most recent ~6 million posts (that's about 2 years of history) and putting the resulting posts and their vector embeddings into Postgres. Let me know what could be improved, and if you'd like a more detailed writeup of…

    I love HN but always felt the search with algolia is okay but does have some limitations. Since I work at Vectara I decided to try and create a better search for HN. It's based on data from roughly the last 6 months of HN stories and comments. Would love to hear feedback and how useful this is relative to the existing search.

    Just a personal experiment to build my first custom version of ChatGPT :) I'm spending too much time on this site, so it might ocasionally save me some scrolling and reading. Far from perfect and I'll continue to finetune it. I might even feed it with some classification data for each post, such as: Post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38167604 Categories: ["Health, Tech Gadgets, AI"] Comment Perspectives: - 3 Medical Innovation Appreciation - 1 Technical Analysis - 1 Limitations Acknowledgment Edit: Looks like OpenAI is having outages today and custom GPTs are only…
