What Hacker News says
7 sourcesAre these the only prompts used with the models:
https://github.com/jiggy-ai/hn_summary/blob/master/src/summa...
Also, how did you decide on those specific prompts?
Lastly, is it accurate that the text being summarized is truncated instead of for example streaming it in chunks to create a summary of summaries for longer text. If so, why even process the articles that require truncation?
In Show HN: Compare new OpenAI model vs. old on HN SummariesHere is an open source HN summarizer that publishes the summaries to a Telegram channel: https://github.com/jiggy-ai/hn_summary
I have been thinking about adding an RSS feed option as well.
In Show HN: Distilhn.com – Front-Page Articles Summarized with Machine LearningI noticed a lot of dups on the HN Summary bot (https://github.com/jiggy-ai/hn_summary) so was wondering if we needed an embedding similarity search to filter them. So I checked the database of recent stories and found 194 instances of duplicates with exact same Story Title or Story URL in the last few days that the bot has been running.
There were all story items that made it into the /topstories hacker news api endpoint:

In Does HN have anti-duplication protection?Show HN: Compare GPT DaVinci-002 and 003 summaries of current top HN stories
Based on quick extensions to the open source telegram summarization bot I posted a few days ago (https://github.com/jiggy-ai/hn_summary), you can see for yourself how davinci 002 and 003 compare on the current top HN stories for the same prompt and temperature (0.2).
Items that don't have summaries are usually due to a failure to access meaningful url content.

In New GPT-3 model: text-DaVinci-003Show HN: Open Source Bot That Summarizes Top Hacker News Stories Using GPT-3
HN Summary is an open source bot which sumarizes top stories on Hacker News and publishes the summaries to a Telegram channel.
Whenever a new story appears on the Hacker News API /topstories.json endpoint, this bot summarizes it (currently using OpenAI GPT-3 text-davinci-002) and sends the story title, summary, and url to the hn_summary channel on Telegram.
The purpose of this project is to help build intuition on the capabilities of the current generation of large language models while making a broader swath of top Hacker News content more easily accessible. It could also serve as a platform for experimentation with other language model capabilites such as semantic search.
Join the HN Summary channel on Telegram to see the bot in action and enjoy the story summaries.

m interested in exploring here, such as making the bot interactive to allow features like bookmarking urls, semantic search, and semantic filtering.
I am also thinking about interfaces other than telegram. I started with telegram since I had recently used it on another project and it seemed like the easiest way to start playing with it. What other interfaces would make sense here?
