How to talk to GPT-3 through Siri

After getting frustrated with Siri's inability to answer pretty basic questions with actual answers instead of "I searched the web for you", I figured out how to get GPT-3 integrated pretty seamlessly with Siri. Sharing it here in case it's useful for anyone else!<p>You can see the short writeup with instructions here: <a href="https://alexkolchinski.com/2023/02/03/how-to-talk-to-gpt-3-through-siri/" rel="nofollow">https://alexkolchinski.com/2023/02/03/how-to-talk-to-gpt-3-t...</a><p>The Siri shortcut is here: <a href="https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/b10d3d361a3f48428a2ed8fe729dc4fa" rel="nofollow">https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/b10d3d361a3f48428a2ed8fe729...</a> (You'll need to add your OpenAI API key to the shortcut and update your Siri accessibility settings to get it to work smoothly – see the above-linked blog post for more detailed instructions.)

Show HN: DocsGPT, open-source documentation assistant, fully aware of libraries

Hi, This is a very early preview of a new project, I think it could be very useful. Would love to hear some feedback/comments

Show HN: Glidesort, a new stable sort in Rust up to ~4x faster for random data

Hi all, I've talked about glidesort a few times on HN already, but it's finally ready for release. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. An academic paper on glidesort that goes into a lot more detail than the readme is upcoming, but is not ready yet.<p>I will be giving a talk on glidesort tomorrow at FOSDEM 2023 in the Rust Devroom at 16:10, you can seek me out there as well. In other news, I am leaving academia soon, so if you have interesting (Rust) jobs the coming months feel free to approach me.

Show HN: DriftDB – an open source WebSocket backend for real-time apps

Hey HN! I’ve written a bunch of WebSocket servers over the years to do simple things like state synchronization, WebRTC signaling, and notifying a client when a backend job was run. I realized that if I had a simple way to create a private, temporary, mini-redis that the client could talk to directly, it would save a lot of time. So we created DriftDB.<p>In addition to the open source server that you can run yourself, we also provide <a href="https://jamsocket.live" rel="nofollow">https://jamsocket.live</a> where you can use an instance we host on Cloudflare’s edge (~13ms round trip latency from my home in NY).<p>You may have seen my blog post a couple months back, “You might not need a CRDT”[1]. Some of those ideas (especially the emphasis on state machine synchronization) are implemented in DriftDB.<p>Here’s an IRL talk I gave on DriftDB last week at Browsertech SF[2] and a 4-minute tutorial of building a cross-client synchronized slider component in React[3]<p>[1] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33865672" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33865672</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPRv3MImcqM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPRv3MImcqM</a><p>[3] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktb6HUZlyJs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktb6HUZlyJs</a>

Show HN: I trained an AI model on 120M+ songs from iTunes

Hey HN!<p>I just shipped a project I’ve been working on called Maroofy: <a href="https://maroofy.com" rel="nofollow">https://maroofy.com</a><p>You can search for any song, and it’ll use the song’s audio to find other similar-sounding music.<p>Demo: <a href="https://twitter.com/subby_tech/status/1621293770779287554" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/subby_tech/status/1621293770779287554</a><p>How does it work?<p>I’ve indexed ~120M+ songs from the iTunes catalog with a custom AI audio model that I built for understanding music.<p>My model analyzes raw music audio as input and produces embedding vectors as output.<p>I then store the embedding vectors for all songs into a vector database, and use semantic search to find similar music!<p>Here are some examples you can try:<p>Fetish (Selena Gomez feat. Gucci Mane) — <a href="https://maroofy.com/songs/1563859943" rel="nofollow">https://maroofy.com/songs/1563859943</a> The Medallion Calls (Pirates of the Caribbean) — <a href="https://maroofy.com/songs/1440649752" rel="nofollow">https://maroofy.com/songs/1440649752</a><p>Hope you like it, and would love to hear any questions/feedback/comments! :D
