Very cool. 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.
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…
A great use case for llms. I'm not expecting you to do this, but I would love to choose my own news sites. I'm a Brit living in Czech Republic. So I'd maybe have the guardian, BBC, and some Czech sources in there. Not so interested in American news, any American news that affects me will reach my local sources. But great work!

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…
Would getting a summary from ChatGPT with a prompt to eliminate clickbait/bias be helpful before evaluating the event?
Every time ChatGPT saw the words "World is ending" (not real example) it gave those articles very high score.
Estimating source credibility was the only solution I came up with.
You’d get super interesting contrasts, and when western media would be going wild over the latest Trump gaffe, right next to it there’d be news from some island in the middle of pacific saying their antelope conservation efforts were finally paying off.
In hindsight it was super cool, and I’m really sad I didn’t keep up with it.
What would be even cooler would be to let GPT4 summarize everything, not just rank it.
I did it at first, but quickly realized that it's too expensive. GPT-4 is 15 times more expensive for prompt and 30 times more expensive for completion than GPT-3.5-turbo. But I think GPT-3.5-turbo gives 90% as good summaries as GPT-4.

Great idea! Personally, I want an even higher signal to noise ratio and even fewer articles. Perhaps significance > 7, and articles from the last week.

6.5 seemed like a sweet spot for number of news. It results in 1-5 news each day. I tried 6.0 at some point, but I think it resulted in like 10-20 articles each day which seemed a bit much.
I will definitely sub to News Minimalist if the same is possible.

RSS please!
Added "good RSS" to the TODOs.

Another request for RSS please!
Will try to improve it.
Would easily pay 10$ a month for this in its current state.
