Here is my technical write up on how you create your own AI replica by fine-tuning gpt-4o-mini on every text message you have ever sent. I started working on this because I had lost the love of building. I wanted to just have fun again. Wel

The way I was approaching it was from the maintainer perspective where I want to engage with the community of stargazers. My experience with that has been fairly good and folks are responsive. I had a friend who used the original script to

I just added the ability to run the proxy locally: https://github.com/squaredtechnologies/thread/commit/7575b99... Will update once I add Ollama support too!

Sorry that is my mistake, to clear it up: 1. Yes the API key here is the OpenAI key 2. The tool at the moment cannot be pointed to local models, though I am adding support for that. My focus right now is the following, in order of priority:

Hahahah point taken, in all fairness, I only knew about Threads (the social media app) when I posted and so I thought it wouldn't overlap. I was worried the word `thread` might overlap in a parallelism sense though wasn't aware of

Hahaha I take the point, I thought I was slick because I got the thread.dev domain and so didn't consider SEO as much. One of the alternate titles we considered was `Show HN: Thread.dev` instead of just `Show HN: Thread` to minimize ov

Definitely, it is something we are super focused on as it seems to be a use case that is important for folks. Opening up the proxy server and adding local LLM support is my main focus for today and will hopefully update on this comment when

It's something we are considering, I think Hex provides a lot of features that aren't available in existing local notebooks (SQL, reactive cell execution) that we hope to integrate for sure. I think both Jupyter and VS Code are re

I think that's another really good point, it was the first time we have open sourced a project or a library so I wasn't really sure how to best position it with the license. The reason I opted for AGPL was mainly because of the wo

by alishobeiri 2y ago
Yeah I think point is very fair, the reason we host it on a proxy server was that we wanted to enable first time users to be able to use it without putting in an API key, the only way we could think of doing that without exposing the key wa

Oh sorry, I meant as already mentioned by the other commentor. You are right that I forgot to add that to the initial notebook :) Hahahah I like #3 especially

What I find somewhat funny about this is, I did a whole analysis to find the best time to post on HackerNews, and posted at the best possible time. But this post, that was posted on what is supposed to be a worse time actually ended up doin

Hey java-man, Thanks so much for checking it out, I am the author of the original notebook. I forgot to mention it initially but the timezone is UTC as was already mentioned. If you have any feedback, would love to hear it as well!

Hey vivzkestrel, I am actually the creator of the original notebook. Happy to do more, do you know of any good datasets for these that would be a good starting points?

Ahh dang, forgot to mention that! The timestamps were Unix time, so the timezone is UTC. Thanks for pointing that out

Hey HN! As a weekend project, I analyzed Hacker News posts to figure out what does best. Here are some of the most interesting things I found, let me know if you'd like me to add any others! The best time to post on HN: - Sundays are t

Yes so it is possible to generate questions automatically, just so I understand the CSV use case better. Is it because you don't trust the application enough to connect a database to the application?

Yes definitely, that is something that I think would be interesting for us to add. Since we are building everything fully on prem, we didn't have a web based product to confuse people, but I think your point stands that have a tangible

This is another way to make sure that the app doesn't overstep it's permissions, It's still very valid feedback, on our side we should make the permissions of each user very clear and make it clearer that we only do select qu

by alishobeiri 3y ago
So the way that we enforce it, is that we only generate SELECT queries, and do a post process verification to make sure that the result is actually only a read-only query. I think you have a great point though, this should be made much clea

Hey! Thanks a lot for the feedback, that is something we actually forgot to add, I will add that now to avoid confusion! The database connectors we support right now are: - MySQL - Postgres - Snowflake - Apache Impala In terms of how we ma
