Hacker News GPT

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…

Hacker News GPT launched on November 9, 2023 with 11 votes, #1,399 of 4,333 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

In plain words

Hacker News GPT is a custom ChatGPT built to help users navigate Hacker News more efficiently by summarizing posts and discussions. Created as a personal experiment, it reduces time spent scrolling and reading by categorizing posts and analyzing comment perspectives. The tool is still in early development and requires ChatGPT Pro access. It aims to classify content by topic and highlight different viewpoints within discussions.

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…

    Lately I've felt exhausted due to the deluge of AI/GPT posts on hacker news, and have seen similar grumblings. I threw together this frontend that filters out anything with the phrases AI, LLM, GPT, or LLaMa for use until the hype dies down a bit. Before anyone asks, yes I did try to use ChatGPT to help, and while the code it provided was helpful, it needed some heavy bug-fixing. Edit: One other note I forgot to mention. The favicon is generated by Stable Diffusion, I asked it to generate an "Aritificial Intelligence Favicon", and then I added the red circle with line through it.

  • Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
