I made a similar project where all news is ranked by significance on a scale from 0 to 10. Because the significance is determined by an LLM, it surfaces many stories that are usual…

Founder here, thanks for the shout out!

There's https://www.newsminimalist.com/ where 30k news articles per day is ranked by significance, maybe it's what you're looking for?

I made News Minimalist ( https://www.newsminimalist.com/ ), where I deduplicate and rank ~30k articles a day. For each story the most credible source is picked. Might be what you'r…

Can't share the full prompt, but I share methodology on the about page: https://www.newsminimalist.com/about

I'm sorry for plugging my project twice in this thread. But what you're asking sounds extremely close to what I made: https://www.newsminimalist.com/ If you want fewer stories (by …

Thanks! Good point. I think there will always be some hallucinations until they're solved on a model level, but I'll also try to nudge AI now to be more precise with the headlines.…

I tried to solve this problem by making AI rank the stories by significance and rewriting the news titles in a boring, factual style. I think it worked quite well, there's only abo…

This is my all time favorite: Three men occupy table without eating at busy food court A video taken by a Singaporean Stomper shows three men playing games on their mobile phones w…

It's hard to measure, but I see such stories sometimes, mostly in technology and science. A couple recent examples: [Significance 6.7] China outlines ambitious space strategy to su…

I don't oppose these ideas, but it's a matter of priorities. There's just many other features and improvements to implement that seem more valuable.

I think the closest thing to what you want is the newsletter I send 2-3 times a week: https://newsletter.newsminimalist.com/ It's available via RSS too: https://rss.beehiiv.com/fee…

Wikipedia current events page was actually one of the reasons for creating this project! I was disagreeing a lot with their selection of news, for example one of their recent entri…

Thanks for the deep feedback! The default feed sorting is done for regular visitors (new first), for evaluating the output you might like the "significant first" more: https://www.…

What you're describing is super close to the first version I had! In the beginning I had 3 parameters: scale (number of people), magnitude (degree of change for those impacted) and…

Thank you so much! Always glad to see long-time readers. There was a period when I considered switching to an open-source model, but every time I was ready for a switch, OpenAI rel…

I actually agree that "true" significance can only be estimated in hindsight. My goal with this project is not to get "true" significance but to have a setup that gets you 90% of t…

Summaries are done for a single article. I think it's better this way — a summary is a clear reflection of an underlying article, where all statements can be easily tracked to a si…

Yeah, the category names don't convey the meaning behind them very well. There's no intentional focus on US. "World" includes everything that talks about two or more countries. "Na…

I think the main differentiator for my project is news selection. Most other aggregators show news based on 1) relevance, 2) upvotes or 3) coverage. Relevance-based algorithms tend…

Good point! I actually have this exact question on about page [0], I'll copy my thoughts from there: I separate significance from importance (or relevance). Importance is subjectiv…

To your point about raw data - I wasn't expecting there to be so much junk in news. I think I automatically filter out like a third of articles that I get: historic recaps (somethi…

It's actually available in paid subscription! Users asked for it a lot, mostly to block the recent political drama in US and Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Palestine conflicts. https://www…

Thanks! I mainly rely on Paid APIs, but additionally go over some RSS feeds for prominent sources that they don't cover. Wikipedia current events page was actually one of the reaso…
