Show HN: Find words “halfway” between two others
- bitsinthesky 4y agoVery fun project that I'll probably use. However i can't get the website to connect on mobile.
- borromakot 4y agoHey there! Creator of Ash here. Mind if I tweet about this?
- skndr 4y agoGo for it! Really enjoying it :)
- sph 4y agoWhat does Ash do? The main page is full of buzzwords and I have no idea what it provides over Phoenix or if it is something that runs on top of it.
- borromakot 4y agoWe really need to redo that front page . Ash can be used with or without Phoenix. Ash is an "application framework", and is designed to help you structure your application, something you do by creating resources using `Ash.Resource`. A resource typically refers to some domain object/action. In this resource you declare the "actions" that operate on your resource. There is a lot more to it like GraphQL & JSON:API extensions, all kinds of additional tools and utilities. In a lot of ways, it tries to cut a good balance between a lot of concepts. The examples at the bottom of the front page show some examples of the way you use it. There are example apps linked from the Media page as well that can illustrate how it works. I know the front page is missing a lot of key information, but I promise there is tons of useful stuff in Ash, not just buzzwords

- loandigger 4y agoHalfway between 'golfing' and 'drinking' is 'bowling'. Genius!
- bitsinthesky 4y agoThis would make a good game. Predict the halfway word!
- thfuran 4y ago>One and one... One and a half I have my doubts.
- devnull3 4y agoI tried "Trump" and "Biden" out came the answer = "indifference" :)

- skndr 4y agoThis uses GPT-3 to find a word "halfway" between two others and it's built with Elixir, Phoenix, and Ash (https://ash-hq.org/ https://ash-hq.org/) and is deployed on Fly.io. Some fun ones: - imagination and vacation -> fantasize - enthusiasm and zeal -> fervor - angry and hungry -> famished - spoon and fork -> spork
- colanderman 4y agoThe pre-computer version of this is H. G. Burger's Wordtree [1]. It is an absolutely fascinating one-man project to "binomialize" the entire English vocabulary. It is worth owning just to read the bizarre and fascinating series of prefaces, in several of which Mr. Burger details his strongly held beliefs of a strong copyright system.

- Scaevolus 4y agoAre you using embeddings, or a prompt where you ask GPT-3 to find a word between other words?
- skndr 4y agoI tried averaging embeddings at first but a GPT-3 prompt gave more interesting results!
- anymoonus 4y agoI'm curious about the prompt you used, if you're willing to share (I'm interested in blend words, which this is somewhat related, but not quite - these are blended in a semantic sense, not textual)
