Q: Could you please add RSS? I’d use this every day if I could get it in Feedly. (NM found it in a comment https://rss.beehiiv.com/feeds/4aF2pGVAEN.xml)
Q: Why’d you choose 6.5 as the default? Sorry if you answered that already.
Even if only English language sources are considered, there are available ones for non-English-speaking countries, example from Spain https://english.elpais.com/
Hey HN, author of the site here! Happy to answer any questions. (below is the project description I used when posted about it on Reddit) The problem I have with most news sites is that I can't read only important news: an article about a virus outbreak is followed by some celebrity gossip or another smartphone release. But even on sites that focus on important events articles are posted every day and there are always…
Heads up that your plaintext emails in the newsletter have some html formatting and template artifacts in there.
Seems us/eu-centric? I’ll definitely keep an eye on it to see if the composition changes with important events elsewhere in the world. Even if only English language sources are considered, there are available ones for non-English-speaking countries, example from Spain https://english.elpais.com/
It might not be for much longer though...
Very cool! > “Today ChatGPT read 1289 top news and gave 13 of them a significance score over 6/10.” Is an excellent hook. I wish there was more of a basis on the score it chose. For example: > “Russia suffers 100,000 casualties in Ukraine conflict, US estimates.” is #2 and ranked 6.8 > “White House estimates Russia has suffered 100,000 casualties in Ukraine since December.” is #237 and ranked 3.8.
Yeah, I'm still thinking about the scoring. Initially I asked ChatGPT to estimate three things: event scale, event magnitude and event potential. That often resulted in clickbait articles going to the top. To fix this I started to also ask it to estimate source credibility, so tabloids would get much lower score than, say New York Times. Now you noticed another problem, similar articles get very different scores. I t…

I really love this. Thank you. Question: are you using ChatGPT to summarize the article and making that the title of each post?
Relatedly, it would be neat if you had a slider or +/- buttons for each article summary, so someone could choose their depth based on how interesting the title sounds.
Any chance of RSS? I get all my news through Feedly
Oh, good point, just created it: https://rss.beehiiv.com/feeds/4aF2pGVAEN.xml I have no control over it, but let me know if there are any problems with it — I'll see what I can do.

Love this concept and signed up immediately. Heads up that your plaintext emails in the newsletter have some html formatting and template artifacts in there.

How do you decide how aggressively to summarize? That is, a 200-word summary of an 800-word article is very different from a 200-word summary of a 5,000-word article. Relatedly, it would be neat if you had a slider or +/- buttons for each article summary, so someone could choose their depth based on how interesting the title sounds.
I just ask chatgpt to "summarize the article very concisely" and hope that it won't lose any important points. But chatgpt is really good at summarizing, so I don't worry much.
Having +/- buttons is a good idea, will add it to todo list as well.
