This is very helpful! I see that a GitHub gist/file isn’t summarized and just mentions that it is code. What is the input to the summarization? Do you use the entire HTML (header, footer, sidebar, etc.) for summarization or do you do any processing between crawling and summarization?

#32I was talking with ChatGPT4 about how best to summarize comments. Landed on sorting them into a few categories: 1. Surface-Level Content: Meme/Shallow Humor 2. Intermediate-Level Content: Opinionated/Analytical 3. In-Depth Content: Research-based / Thoughtful Discourse 4. Meta Level: Meta discussion about the platform, the discussion process itself or overarching themes Would be interesting to see all comments given…

#33This is great. If it was really intelligent it would be smart enough to move what's buried deep in the article to the front of the summary. E.g. in the post "Are any words the same in all languages?" the summary concludes with: "Finally, the article reveals the two words that are the same worldwide: coffee and chocolate." That should be the first sentence in the summary. Congrats on launching!
Will tweak the prompt to not bury the lede.

#34Great idea! Recommending tweaking the prompts so it uses more concise language without filler words (it seems to like starting with'The article is about...' or 'This is a discussion of').

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thank you. There should be a summary of comments right below the summary of the article.
This is a great app! You might want to put Summary and Comments as headings or at least make them bolder for easy scanning.

#37Shameless self-plug: We are building EvaDB [1], a query engine for shipping fast AI-powered apps with SQL. Here is an illustrative query for analyzing food reviews stored in Postgres and generating responses for negative reviews:
SELECT ChatGPT("Respond to the review with a solution to address the reviewer's concern", review)
FROM postgres_data.review_table
WHERE ChatGPT("Is the review positive or negative? Only reply 'positive' or 'negative'.", review) = "negative"
AND location = “waffle house”;
It would be interesting to learn about the queries needed for supporting HackYourNews application. Would love to exchange notes on this if you're up for it!Re: Show HN: HackYourNews – AI summaries of the top HN stories
#38This is cool. I’d add a feature to toggle between short, medium and longer summaries. Hell, I wouldn’t mind just bullets.

#39Small comment: the "dehyped" title does not seem very useful. For most articles it is almost the same as the original title, just rephrased. It should summarize the conclusion or whatever the meat of the article actually is. Repeating the same thing or similar is just a waste of time and space.
Also it seems broken on the site itself, but that could be the AI getting confused on what the actual page title should be. It picked the top story as the dehyped title, which I guess is understandable but when generating a title for a news feed, it's wrong.

#40What is the 'rating' based on? Thanks for having dark/light responsiveness!
The rating is an averaging of many dimensions of qualitative assessment like conciseness and relevance, but GPT3.5 is very nondeterministic with the values it conjures up. I may remove it or break the factors apart for scrutiny.
