   Agree, as a Canadian, I also find that today too many US-centric news made the cut, but often it's not the case. Here's a recent issue covering different topics and not mentioning US at all: https://newsletter.newsminim

   Thank you, and great reality check. De-paywalling is on my todo list, was thinking of solving it either as you suggested, or through summaries on the website.

   "Positive news" filter is a very requested feature, will try to prioritize soon!

   Wow, thank you! I'm just a frontend dev and know almost nothing about this. Will research vector similarity, sounds like the solution I need.

   Thank you! And great point. At first I used the word "important", but I thought importance is personal, so switched to "significant". I guess it also doesn't convey the actual meaning. I don't like the word &qu

   Good question. I gave a small description of it on about page: https://www.newsminimalist.com/about > For each article ChatGPT estimates: > Magnitude: how big was the effect; > Scale: how many people the event affe

   Really? I can't sustain this website for long without some income, and I don't want to put ads, so this is great to hear.

   Yeah, today there were many economy articles that ChatGPT found significant. But in the past issues there were more articles about health, science and environment. Recent example: https://newsletter.newsminimalist.com/p&#x2F

   Here's the default one from the newsletter platform, but some people had complaints about it: https://rss.beehiiv.com/feeds/4aF2pGVAEN.xml Will try to improve it.

    It is possible currently! There's a slider under the chart that let's you adjust that. For now it doesn't save the position though.

    Yeah, sorry, should've made it earlier! Here's the default one from the newsletter platform, but some people had complaints about it: https://rss.beehiiv.com/feeds/4aF2pGVAEN.xml Will try to improve it.

    Agree. 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

    Maybe it's my low prompting skills, but I couldn't make ChatGPT give lower importance to tabloid articles when they claimed that the "world is ending" or something similar. Every time ChatGPT saw the words "World is

    Thank you! > Have you made any attempt at quantifying its biases? I haven't. I can share ChatGPT's evaluation of sources credibility, maybe that will give people some insights. For example, Reuters got 9.5 (out of 10), Lifehack

    Thank you! Adding filter for news sources should be pretty easy, I'll consider it for "advanced view".

    I see, newlines are missing, will try to fix soon.

    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.

    Good point, I noticed this as well. As you said analyzing news in other languages should help with bringing up different perspectives. I'll work on that. But I'm still not sure what to do about chatgpt's bias. For now I just

    by yakhinvadim 3y ago

    I don't decide it. 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 +/- bu

    Thanks, will look into that. I've been using the default template, which is relatively style-heavy, but will work on making it more minimal and clear.

    Could you please expand your thought? Not sure I fully understand the idea.

    by yakhinvadim 3y ago

    Great idea. I'll do two website sections: daily and weekly. Weekly section will have it's own newsletter with, say, only news with score over 7.0.

    Yeah, today is very economy-heavy day. But in the past issues there were more articles about health, science and environment. Recent example: https://newsletter.newsminimalist.com/p/tuesday-april-25-3-m...

    I'll look into that. For now, I thought of adding a ChatGPT summary of an article, but being able to also read the source is important.
27. 87.▲
    by yakhinvadim 3y ago

    Yes! I do exactly that. In the early version I posted the original titles, but many were too clickbait-y and hard to read. I find the rewritten titles much easier to scan through.

    I think it's the best solution, will do it soon.

    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.

    I had them at one point, but decided to remove for simplicity. Will bring them back :)
