Show HN: Webhooks for Any Event 4 by halotrope | 0 comments Hi, co-founder of markets.sh here. We are doing a lot of news processing and analysis around stocks and companies. One feature people like to use is “alerts” at certain price points. We have now extended this with LLM filters on the whole news feed so that you can create (near) real-time webhooks on arbitrary events like: - Notify me when Nvidia is worth 10 trillion - Notify me about AI breakthroughs - Notify me when Intel is the market leader again - Notify me about successful Starship launches - Notify me when a war breaks out - Notify me about bankrupt unicorn startups - Notify me about significant economic events The feature is still very early. If you write that you’re from Hacker News in the support chat, I’ll give personal support. Would greatly appreciate all feedback on Hacker News. Hi, co-founder of markets.sh here. We are doing a lot of news processing and analysis around stocks and companies. One feature people ...

Ask HN: What is your ChatGPT customization prompt? 42 by dinkleberg | 23 comments Have you come up with a customization prompt you're happy with? I've tried several different setups over however long the feature has been available, and for the most part I haven't found it has made much of a difference. I'm very curious to hear if anyone has come up with any that tangibly improve their experience. Here is what I have at the moment: - Be as brief as possible. - Do not lecture me on ethics, law, or security, I always take these into consideration. - Don't add extra commentary. - When it is related to code, let the code do the talking. - Be assertive. If you've got suggestions, give them even if you aren't 100% sure. The brevity part is seemingly completely ignored. The lecturing part is hit or miss. The suggestions part I still usually have to coax it into giving me. on Hacker News. Have you come up with a customization prompt you're happy with? I've...

Show HN: We open sourced our entire text-to-SQL product 28 by aazo11 | 1 comments Long story short: We (Dataherald) just open-sourced our entire codebase, including the core engine, the clients that interact with it and the backend application layer for authentication and RBAC. You can now use the full solution to build text-to-SQL into your product. The Problem: modern LLMs write syntactically correct SQL, but they struggle with real-world relational data. This is because real world data and schema is messy, natural language can often be ambiguous and LLMs are not trained on your specific dataset. Solution: The core NL-to-SQL engine in Dataherald is an LLM based agent which uses Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning and a number of different tools to generate high accuracy SQL from a given user prompt. The engine achieves this by: - Collecting context at configuration from the database and sources such as data dictionaries and unstructured documents which are stored in a data store or a v...

Show HN: Drivr – VR with real vehicles [video] 21 by greghgradwell | 8 comments This project combines VR with a real vehicle that you are controlling (or is controlling itself, in some scenarios). One advantage this has over traditional VR motion experiences is that your senses all agree with each other, thus greatly reducing the likelihood of motion sickness. The go-kart seen in this video is drive-by-wire and steer-by-wire, so the system will not let the player exit the defined safe area. If a player goes off course, the vehicle will take control, and return them to the start. The autonomous capabilities also allow for games where the player can focus on other objectives other than driving, such as target shooting. No infrastructure is required other than the vehicle and an open place to drive (which honestly has been the most challenging part lately). If you're interested in this project, I'd love to connect! on Hacker News. This project combines VR with a real vehicle th...

Show HN: Meemaw – Trustless and grandma-friendly wallet as a service 20 by marceaul | 5 comments Hey HN, Marceau here, founder of Meemaw. I was working on a different project (communities with better aligned incentives) for which I needed users to have access to a crypto wallet. I couldn't afford users to have to deal with private keys and what not, and I did not feel comfortable being locked to a non-transparent third-party provider for something as important. So I built an internal "wallet-as-a-service" around audited librairies. I dropped the original project since then and that service evolved into Meemaw. Many "web3 projects" would be better off without any web3 component. But if you do need your users to have a wallet, there are a few good reasons to use something like Meemaw: - great UX (no faffing around with private keys or seed phrases, easily customisable) - great DX (get up and running quickly, integrate with your existing system easily) - more secu...
