Show HN: I built a Hacker News userscript to make this site more legible
My personal itch to scratch just recently has been the umpteen formatting foibles of HackerNews. So, in the spirit of making the web more personal again, I knocked up a TamperMonkey userscript to fix up the worst of my personal bugbears.<p>This isn't an attempt at a complete rebrand/redesign of the site, instead it's just fixing up what I think are the biggest design/readability issues whilst trying to remain true to the site's existing aesthetic.<p>Key features:<p><pre><code> * Base font size increased
* A little more room around headings
* Top menu bar is full-width and with a little more padding
* Downvoted comments no longer faint hard-to-read grey. Instead they're rendered with a light gray background and in a smaller font size.
* Comments have a more readable max line length
* Quotes are parsed and transformed to look like genuine quotes. I.e. any p or span that starts with '>' is transformed and rendered with a light orange background and in italics.
* The 'Add comment' box on items is hidden by default. (Surely you'd want to read all the comments first before leaping in with your own 2p's worth!?)

Show HN: A highly opinionated, fully functional Obsidian vault
A few months ago I noticed that I was quickly approaching my 10GB sync limit for my daily driver vault. I considered deprecating some of the heavier files and images, but I was worried how it would affect the integrity of my vault. Instead, I took the opportunity to think to myself -- what would the perfect vault look like?<p>I began to write down some of the key philosophies and strategies I use in my driver vault which led to indispensable plugins, which led to more indispensable philosophies and on and on it went.<p>I've chronicled these results into a fully working vault template that includes templates, dataviews, macros, scripts, and powerful but simple and intuitive structural elements.<p>This vault is truly a condensation of all of my knowledge pertaining to Obsidian (the README is very long), so please do give it a go! I promise you'll like what you see!

Show HN: Factual AI Q&A – Answers based on Huberman Lab transcripts
This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3.<p>It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response.<p>It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer.<p>More examples and explanations here: <a href="https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067</a>

Show HN: Textual Markdown – a Markdown “browser” in the terminal
Hi HN,<p>This is a TUI app which displays interactive Markdown documents. Interactive in the sense that you can scroll code fences / tables / and click links. There's a Table of Contents extracted from the MD, and a very rudimentary browser like forward + back.<p>I'm thinking it could be the starting point for a variety of hypertext like applications in the terminal.<p>Very much a work in progress.

A self-updating list of the most current useragents
Hi Hacker News!<p>I made a site which displays the most common useragents found on the web.<p>The site updates weekly with data sourced from the server access logs of another site I run in order to give an accurate picture of the devices and browsers being used on the web.<p>I do a lot of web scraping in my work and it's this group of people who I had in mind when creating the site.<p>The data is presented as useragent, browser, os, and relative percentage of occurence. It can be viewed as a table on the site or via json in the API.<p>Please let me know your thoughts or feedback and I hope you find it useful!<p>Thanks!

Show HN: I made a Slack bot that qualifies your sign-ups using GPT-3
OP here, this was super fun to build. It all started from playing around with Nat Friedman's GPT browser<p><a href="https://twitter.com/0xferruccio/status/1599014988693180417" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/0xferruccio/status/1599014988693180417</a><p>Then after having this running for our product for a couple of days or so we decided to give 10 customers access and they loved it! So expanding access now feels great :)
