1) wow, what a great piece of art. 2) Buy as many DVDs as possible and shrink the size of your window. Instant win.

I have struggled with the negative aspects of news as well and personally think there is a middle route over cutting it out. I built attabit.com to summarize the news for friends, family, and myself to remove as much sensationalism, bias, a

This is implemented now. It will skip stories you heard earlier in the day. Will add a feature to relisten to everything hopefully this evening.

This is a v1 for friends and family -- its not done. If you think those news services are 'propaganda machines on payroll of US elites' can you please get to work building an alternative? Thanks.

Thanks for checking it out and commenting. Its been a rough news day or two on the site unfortunately. This is definitely something I'm thinking about. Best idea I have at the moment (which is implemented) is to cover great science&#x2

Thanks for checking it out and commenting! I 100% agree with this and have been thinking of how it can be solved. I think embeddings open a new opportunity to get this off the ground. Worried it will include too much noise by default (Does

10 years from now I definitely think we'll have personal AI's in our pocket updating us on what's going on. They will cater to our preferences and (i hope) heavily look into stories while telling us about them. The best futur

Hey Joshka! Thanks for checking it out and commenting. I like the one article per page format over a click -- easy to scroll along and see what I want without much interaction. I get why someone might want different though or prefer no imag

Thanks for checking it out and commenting! THAT would be really cool. Especially with voice while its reading the articles to you.

Thanks! Topic filtering definitely on the way. Sentiment is a really cool idea -- especially if you want to filter by it. Will have to think about that. My thoughts on language/country: Will stay away from this from now and focus just

@guizzy has it right. Much more unlikely to hallucinate because all of the information it needs is submitted in the API request -- its actually explicitly asked to not come up with anything new. Of course though this is a concern that needs

Its currently 'expensive' ($3 per day) for the individual user level to run this but once you open it up to a one to many model, that's extremely reasonable. Recording and editing the audio alone would be a massive expense an

This is all fantastic feedback thank you for checking it out and taking the time to comment! Funny you mention the 'Resume' part, I just had to take that out because iOS was blocking a new mp3 file from playing without a direct to

Glad you liked it! Thanks for checking it out. Very US focused at the moment for sure. Having it be more personalized would be awesome -- in a sense that's what I've built for myself here -- long term I (or someone) have to give t

Hey thanks for checking it out! No API, lots of scraping and GPT decides what important stories to cover. Lots of GPT requests but it's cheap and does a great job.

Thanks for the notes and for checking it out. Right now it obviously just covers existing news articles but the future (of this or something like this) is for each news story to be a reporting on what's happening separate from what any

Thanks and this is awesome! Some questions I have after trying to solve a similar problem, ok if you'd rather not share: Are you using OpenAI/GPT for summaries? Are you selecting articles to go in this or is the process entirely a

Two things that worked for me. (Not a doctor, not a psychologist, do your own research, etc etc.) 1) Dihydromyricetin - This is a supplement which helps your body digest alcohol that which can lead to less hangovers. For me specifically? It

I work in election night reporting. While it’s easy to assume malice, so often it’s just that election officials haven’t entirely thought things through. It’s not an easy job and in the past 4 years, positions no one has cared about are bei

Did the exact same thing. I don't know what I thought SpaceX was going to give me for free. But I was excited about it.

Scanning the title I quickly thought "Duh of course you can". But the complications of that have been eating at me for an hour now. I can imagine of world of horrible patent trolls who have AI generating "art" constantly
