HN-demo.log-store.com HN comments and stories in log-store

TL;DR: I loaded all 37M comments and stories into a demo version: hn-demo.log-store.com I created log-store to scratch 2 itches: 1) I was bored while working at Meta/Facebook 2) I wanted to see if I could make Splunk. I accomplished 1 and got laid-off, and I'll let folks here decide if I accomplished 2. If people here want to get a feel for log-store, you can play with the demo site[1] or the HN demo site[1] If a query seems slow (more than 5s), please be patient... log-store was made for 10s of people doing simultaneous searches, not the HN crowd. Happy to answer any/all…

In plain words

log-store is a log search and analysis tool designed for querying large datasets. The demo version contains all 37 million Hacker News comments and stories, allowing users to search and explore the data. Built as an alternative to commercial log management platforms, log-store is intended for small teams conducting simultaneous searches across massive datasets. The interface lets users run queries to investigate patterns in the loaded data.

    Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works.
