Show HN: AI explanations for other people’s code
Hi HN,<p>As a developer, I much prefer to write code than read other people’s code. But most projects I work on involve other developers so it’s hard to avoid. Often I find it really hard to quickly parse other people’s code so I thought maybe ChatGPT could help.<p>ChatGPT does a really nice job of giving clear explanations when you paste in code and ask it to explain it. But the interface is a bit of a pain to use if you’re using it many times a day. It’s also hard to share explanations with co-workers. So I built whatdoesthiscodedo.com. Just paste your code and get your ChatGPT explanation and a sharable link you can give to coworkers.<p>I’m hopeful it can also be helpful to folks who aren’t professional developers. My co-founder at my main company, Beam Analytics, is more of a product guy so only needs to write scripts etc. Before, he’d often just find code online to copy and then struggle to make it work. But with this tool, he says he’s getting better intuition in understanding the code he’s using, and how to modify it.<p>We’d love your feedback.

Show HN: Using GPT-3 and Whisper to save doctors’ time
Hey HN,<p>We're Alex, Martin and Laurent. We previously founded Wit.ai (W14), which we sold to Facebook in 2015. Since 2019, we've been working on Nabla (<a href="https://nabla.com" rel="nofollow">https://nabla.com</a>), an intelligent assistant for health practitioners.<p>When GPT-3 was released in 2020, we investigated it's usage in a medical context[0], to mixed results.<p>Since then we’ve kept exploring opportunities at the intersection of healthcare and AI, and noticed that doctors spend am awful lot of time on medical documentation (writing clinical notes, updating their EHR, etc.).<p>Today, we're releasing Nabla Copilot, a Chrome extension generating clinical notes from video consultations, to address this problem.<p>You can try it out, without installation nor sign up, on our demo page: <a href="https://nabla.com/copilot-demo/" rel="nofollow">https://nabla.com/copilot-demo/</a><p>Here’s how it works under the hood:<p>- When a doctor starts a video consultation, our Chrome extension auto-starts itself and listens to the active tab as well as the doctor’s microphone.<p>- We then transcribe the consultation using a fine-tuned version of Whisper. We've trained Whisper with tens of thousands of hours of medical consultation and medical terms recordings, and we have now reached an error rate which is 3× lower than Google's Speech-To-Text.<p>- Once we have the transcript, we feed it to a heavily trained GPT-3, which generates a clinical note.<p>- We finally return the clinical note to the doctor through our Chrome extension, the doctor can copy it to their EHR, and send a version to the patient.<p>This allows doctors to be fully focused on their consultation, and saves them a lot time.<p>Next, we want to make this work for in-person consultation.<p>We also want to extract structured data (in the FHIR standard) from the clinical note, and feed it to the doctor’s EHR so that it is automatically added to the patient's record.<p>Happy to further discuss technical details in comments!<p>---<p>[0]: <a href="https://nabla.com/blog/gpt-3/" rel="nofollow">https://nabla.com/blog/gpt-3/</a>

Show HN: SchemafreeSQL – Data, Fluid as Code
Hi HN, I'm Dean, the non-technical co-founder of SchemafreeSQL. We released our beta version about a year ago. You can see the HN Post here <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30291592" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30291592</a><p>Today I am pleased to announce our initial release of our hosted SFSQL offering.<p>A major concern from the HN Beta feedback we received was our longevity. Being a hosted database solution I can see why. We took that to heart and re-engineered our offering. We de-risked it by minimizing the amount of infrastructure under our management, fly.io manages customer's dedicated SFSQL endpoints, Aiven.io manages customer's dedicated databases across 5 clouds, our serverless offering is a managed AWS Aurora Serverless cluster, our in-house databases is managed by Planetscale.com, and Stripe handles subscriptions. The cost of these services are mostly on demand, bringing our monthly fixed cost to a very manageable level.<p>I highly recommend all these services.<p>We are boot strapping SFSQL for now. Our business model, how we make money, is simple. Our prices are higher than our costs. Just like all businesses, margins matter and because we incur the costs of these service and pass them on, our margins take a hit. We envision being more of an add-on to these service providers and others like them eventually. Our margins would increase and the total cost to our customers would decrease. In this model our pricing is purely value based.<p>"Data, Fluid as Code" is what we settled on after countless iterations. I believe it captures the "why" question, "why did we build this". SFSQL originally started out as an Object store for a online dev. environment we built in 2000. It has evolved over time. Its schemaless properties where added as we had a need to better handle user provided data structures and refactoring associated with many of our client projects.<p>Eric, the technical co-founder and creator of SFSQL, answered the "How" question in our HN beta post. For more in depth info on what's going on behind the scenes Eric is available via email support@schemafreesql.com, he is not available to respond here.<p>The demo apps were all built by me. Eric would like it known that he is not responsible for those codes bases, which are all available on GitHub. I built these apps while testing out SFSQL and seeing if we play nice with the various serverless platforms. Client solutions we have built with SFSQL are not available for public display so we went with these demo apps I built. The apps show how easy it is to hook up a back-end to a web app with SFSQL even by a non programmer like myself.<p>I hope you check out SFSQL. Try it for free, no sign-up required, and please leave us feedback <a href="https://schemafreesql.com/givefeedback_HN.html" rel="nofollow">https://schemafreesql.com/givefeedback_HN.html</a>
