Show HN: Recursive LLM Prompts
I've been playing with the idea of an LLM prompt that causes the model to generate and return a new prompt. <a href="https://github.com/andyk/recursive_llm">https://github.com/andyk/recursive_llm</a><p>The idea I'm starting with is to implement recursion using English as the programming language and GPT as the runtime.<p>It’s kind of like traditional recursion in code, but instead of having a function that calls itself with a different set of arguments, there is a prompt that returns itself with specific parts updated to reflect the new arguments.<p>Here is a prompt for infinitely generating Fibonacci numbers:<p>> You are a recursive function. Instead of being written in a programming language, you are written in English. You have variables FIB_INDEX = 2, MINUS_TWO = 0, MINUS_ONE = 1, CURR_VALUE = 1. Output this paragraph but with updated variables to compute the next step of the Fibbonaci sequence.<p>Interestingly, I found that to get a base case to work I had to add quite a bit more text (i.e. the prompt I arrived at is more than twice as long <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andyk/recursive_llm/main/prompt_fibonnaci_include_math.txt" rel="nofollow">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andyk/recursive_llm/main/p...</a>)

Show HN: I want to change how people buy health supplements
I made a table where you can find out the source/location of factory for where health supplements are made. Then, I spent a year reading product labels so you can save time and money when buying supplements. This is that update.<p>This is still a work in progress but it functions fine.<p>My previous post was a simple database of company data showing ingredient sourcing/location. That took 10 days, this has taken me close to 9 months. BackOfLabel is an extension of that initial interest with dosage information at the product & ingredient level.<p>This update allows sorting by many more attributes at the product level (for 4000+ products at the moment) of manually scraped data.<p>Now, for instance you can sort by specific types of ingredient - eg. filter by magnesium glycinate , magnesium orotate or any combination. eg. find ubiquinol or ubiquinone, two forms of coenzyme q10. This is useful for consumers but also companies seeking competitor analysis.<p>You are able to filter products by<p>– Ingredient
– Filter by liquid, tablet, capsule, powder & more
– Browse by UPC Code
– Dosage Information
– No. Individual Serving
– No. Manufacturer Serving
– Total Dosage<p>For example You can also search by type of protein powder - eg. search for whey protein powder and find the dosage information for many products instantly.<p>It frustrates me and I think the way that people buy supplements is wrong. And they don't know any better because there are incentive structures that keep them in the dark. This is a small effort to combat the misleading labeling and lack of regulation in the industry.<p>full disclosure - i've provided a generic affiliate link in the table that means i earn a small percentage (5%) of total cart if you purchase through the link<p>note: browse on desktop to filter & sort

Show HN: Yaksha Programming Language
I have been working on this for a while. Main goal was to build a usable programming language. I even end up building few tools for this such as IntelliJ plugin, etc.<p>I also plan on building some games with it in future.<p>Main use case would be: small games (raylib), tools (static linux binaries with musl-libc) and recreational programming (wasm4). Works in Windows also. If you have emscripten in path you can even build these games/tools (raylib) to WASM.<p>Please have a look.
