angadsg | 2 years ago | on: ChatPDF – Chat with Any PDF

IMO folks are better off deploying their own version where they can adjust a few knobs (e.g. split chunk size) to get better results, given that PDF Q&A is such a commodity application.

Wrote a <50 lines version with LangChain to run on your terminal with any folder full of PDF documents - https://github.com/angad/dharamshala/blob/main/docs.py

return_source_documents is particularly helpful to get a sense of what is being sent in the prompt.

angadsg | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are some good technology blogs to follow?

Stack Overflow newsletters[1] are great as well. It sends you top questions of the week, both answered and unanswered. Great way to learn small things about things you love. Its the perfect application of "Knowledge should be bite-sized".

I subscribe to RPi, Net Eng, CS, theoretical CS and Code Golf news letters. Any other suggestions?

It took me 15 minutes to make this. I use my own framework that collects tweets based on hashtags and posts to Tumblr and other social networks. Probably its my way of remembering the man who gave the world the device from which I am typing this.

I bought livelikesteve.com for $7.49 from Godaddy and the ads are there just to get me back that cost. Waiting for DNS propagation.

I was amused by #protolol jokes on twitter. Wanted to collect them in one place. Wrote a simple GAE python application that would search for a particular hash tag and post the selected tweets to your tumblr blog. Fixing some usability issues. Will post the link soon :)

There was a similar "gaping" hole 2 years back. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=164422 Better email them.

angadsg | 15 years ago | on: Useful Symbols for Facebook

Dont really see a point for me going to another website to get some symbols. Usability can be improved.

1) User clicks on the symbol and it is copied to the clipboard. No need for Ctrl+C.

2) Make a Chrome/Firefox extension.
