CNBC just deleted 5 pages showing the current and historical 5 year Credit Default Swaps for: - JPMorgan, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/5VOMJKd - Bank of America, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/n03IAM5 - PNC, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/uGqazd3 - Truist Financial, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/LgG3Uem - Wells Fargo, deleted URL: https://ift.tt/swISPUe Not deleted: Goldman Sachs https://ift.tt/rAizKxv, Deutsche Bank https://ift.tt/VrTQbFM . You can easily use archive.org to check for yourself example: https://ift.tt/BGPavik This might not seem like a big thing, but it is! This was one of the very few sources were you could see current credit default swaps data online. I would love to get an explanation from CNBC. EDIT: I was actively crawling the pages in question, it did work until at least Friday, 24 March 2023 23:55:35 after that the crawling paused for the weekend as the markets are closed. So this change occurred during the weekend.

Hey there! I just released the first version of a project I’ve been working on solves a very specific problem that perhaps only I have. I welcome any and all feedback, even if you just want to drop in to say that this is a hot piece of garbage!

Show HN: Public transportation signage based on bloom filters (rough mockup)
11 by bitsinthesky | 7 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, I was running around Germany, hectically navigating public transportation, and getting lost all the time. I noticed that every station had i platforms, each used lists of n buses (trains, whatever) arriving, each has their list of m destinations. That means I would be scanning i x n x m items just to see if I was at the correct stop. As I was nervous, for every bus that arrived, I would rescan the list of stops to double check. I began thinking how I could make a better system. Linked is a very shoddy mockup of how bloom filters could be used to allow passengers O(1) lookup time for which platform+bus is the correct one. I believe it's likely for public transportation to grow increasingly more complex in the future, as population grows, and under the current list-based system, this will make the signage ever more complex. I think some bloom filter mechanism could reduce that complexity. So, here is my fantasy, my day dream. What do you think?

Show HN: Watermelon – GPT-powered code contextualizer
15 by baristaGeek | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Hey there HN! We're Esteban and Esteban and we are looking to get feedback for the new version of our GPT-powered, open-source code contextualizer. We're starting with a VS Code extension that indexes information from git (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket integrations available), Slack and Jira to explain the context around a file or block of code. Finally, we summarize such aggregated context using the power of GPT. As devs we know that it's very annoying to look at a new codebase and start understanding all the nuances, particularly when the person who wrote the code already left the company. With this problem in mind, we decided to build this solution. You'll be able to get into "the ghost" of the person who left the company. Soon, we will also be building a GitHub Action that does the same thing as the VS Code extension but at the time of creating a PR: Index the most relevant information related to this new PR, and add it as a comment. This way we will provide context at one more moment, and also, we will be making the IDE extension better. Here's our open source repo if you also want to check it out: https://ift.tt/c4ZkoE7 Please give us your feedback! Thanks.

Show HN: Great Books Homeschool beta program
3 by jkurnia | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I built this customizable literature-based K-12 homeschool curriculum, based on my experience as a homeschool parent. It's designed especially for intellectually curious kids who love to read. One of the main benefits of homeschooling is the ability to design customized programs of study that let kids learn at their level of challenge in each subject. But since designing custom curricula from scratch requires a huge time commitment and familiarity with children's literature and academic materials, most homeschooling parents don't take advantage of this potential and instead opt for prepackaged curricula. Great Books Homeschool eliminates a lot of the work involved in designing a complete and rigorous curriculum for homeschooled students. The website generates a default program of study for each student, then helps parents customize it. Transcripts and other records are generated automatically. Pricing is normally subscription based, but we're offering complimentary access for twelve months to the first 50 users who sign up for our beta testing program. In return, beta testers are requested to complete a monthly questionnaire about their experience with the curriculum. If you would like to participate in the beta testing program, please first create a free trial account at https://ift.tt/TVup294 . Once signed in, go to https://ift.tt/XyaQEp0... and complete the application form. Questions and comments are welcome!

Ask HN: Should I sign a pay cut agreement?
14 by folivore | 38 comments on Hacker News.
Hi! My employer recently announced a 10% pay cut across the board. Where I live(South Africa), employee consent is required. The company sent out a document asking us to sign in agreement. ---- This is the state of things now: * Company laid an unknown number of employees off, and laid them off without letting employees know until a week later in a meeting where they announced pay cuts * The company is pretty much full remote and the office is a nice-to-have. It is in a very expensive part of town. * Lunches once a week are catered at the office * I asked what happens if one were not to sign, and the response was "Oh, we haven't thought about that. We're hoping that everyone pulls together." * The situation will be reviewed quarterly * Company says they don't expect it to last very long, also citing this for why they kept the office ---- A few things stand out to me and feel like red flags, namely: * They chose to cut salaries rather than cut the office rent and catered lunch/snack expenses * They have no plan should someone not sign. I would think they would have planned that out, specially since they went on about how long it took them to make this decision. * Layoffs were hidden until an announcement, which was also ambiguous where people thought it was still coming. ---- My options are to sign and take a pay cut, or refuse to sign and see what happens. Law here says I am entitled to what effectively comes to a layoff, but I can't predict what the company will do. The pay cut also makes my life a lot harder since we were already on a tight budget. I would appreciate any thoughts, knowledge, or advice you might have. I know you are not a lawyer and I am not expecting you to be, but lawyers can't speak to real world experience from others in the industry. I am currently finding a lawyer to assist.

Show HN: Using GPT-3 and Whisper to save doctors’ time
69 by ar7hur | 75 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, 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 ( https://nabla.com ), an intelligent assistant for health practitioners. When GPT-3 was released in 2020, we investigated it's usage in a medical context[0], to mixed results. 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.). Today, we're releasing Nabla Copilot, a Chrome extension generating clinical notes from video consultations, to address this problem. You can try it out, without installation nor sign up, on our demo page: https://ift.tt/vjmgTUM Here’s how it works under the hood: - 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. - 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. - Once we have the transcript, we feed it to a heavily trained GPT-3, which generates a clinical note. - 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. This allows doctors to be fully focused on their consultation, and saves them a lot time. Next, we want to make this work for in-person consultation. 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. Happy to further discuss technical details in comments! --- [0]: https://ift.tt/2Ca0OhN

Show HN: Plato – Airtable for your SQL database
47 by mgummelt | 16 comments on Hacker News.
Hi! I've been a member of HN for fifteen years so today I'm very excited to share Plato. Plato is an Airtable-like interface for your Postgres or MySQL database. It's an admin panel for devs and non-devs alike to manage your DB. We see teams use Plato for customer support, customer success, ops, etc.. We built Plato because we think more people should be able to build and extend internal tools. We thought it was strange that even though low-code is supposed to democratize development, all of the low-code internal tool builders are marketed to engineers! Airtable is a familiar UI that fits the relational model well, so we've been inspired by their work. Even the engineers on our team use Plato quite a bit, since it's often easier than spinning up a SQL prompt. Some features: - Postgres and MySQL support - Visual query controls (sorts, filters, hiding columns). No SQL. - Joins by "expanding" foreign keys - Virtual columns for tracking new data - Auto-generated backlinks for one-to-many relationships - Read-only locking for individual tables - Virtual tables for sharing new views with your team Plato today works on databases with a public IP (just whitelist our IP to connect), but we're soon rolling out an on-prem version. We can also set up an SSH tunnel for you if you contact us at team@plato.io. We'd love to hear your feedback! Thanks. - Michael

Show HN: BBC “In Our Time”, categorised by Dewey Decimal, heavy lifting by GPT
69 by genmon | 24 comments on Hacker News.
I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I asked for a Dewey classification... and it worked. So I replaced a few days of fiddly work with 3 cents per inference and an overnight data run. My takeaway is that I'll be using LLMs as function call way more in the future. This isn't "generative" AI, more "programmatic" AI perhaps? So I'm interested in what temperature=0 LLM usage looks like (you want it to be pretty deterministic), at scale, and what a language that treats that as a first-class concept might look like.

Show HN: Historical HN Hiring Data
31 by sberens | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! A few days ago I saw a graph[0] that showed the # of job postings on HN was declining. I started wondering what other trends I could glean from the data, so I created this! You can filter through the top level comments by keyword; for example you can filter by "remote" to see the massive spike around March 2020. Another interesting thing I found is that I can compare hiring across cities. I hope you enjoy! I made it so that the links to your search are sharable so if you have some interesting data you should be able to just link the page you're on! [0] https://ift.tt/cREJlu1...

Show HN: Simple Log Alerts to Slack
3 by tradrich | 0 comments on Hacker News.
There are many log alerting systems on the market. The best known is probably Datadog. There’s also Logtail, Papertrail, Splunk, Logstash and others. These are well put together products with a host of great features, such as excellent UIs, sophisticated live searching via web interfaces and sometimes query languages and alerting. They require various levels of installation and they have costs, either through volume-based tiered systems or monthly payments. For a bootstrapped business, this can be problematic, for instance when a surge of logs - indicating a possible important problem that needs to be solved - pushes volume on to another tier. Should the “log ransom” be paid? Instead, I recalled from earlier times surely the simplest log watcher: Swatchdog [1]. It is rather venerable software. Its file history from its source download shows dates in 2015, but it was written much earlier - the 90s or possibly 80s by Todd Atkins [2]. We wanted to have alerts in Slack - the blog explains how we did it. In short: *very simply*. The code is available [3].

Show HN: A HN clone writen in go
44 by andrewfromx | 9 comments on Hacker News.
I've been trying to write my "go on rails" framework for years. I never quite got it like I wanted. There is gin and echo and all sorts of other frameworks and patterns but I finally found something I really like: /foo/ /foo/bar/ /foo/bar/more/ That's it. Just three levels and all my controllers get passed in what's between the / with var names first, second, third. In order to really make sure this framework could build something real I made a Hacker News clone. RemoteRenters.com is a HN just for articles about the remote work revolution since covid. Feel free to vote or submit to see how it all works! Code is open source at: https://ift.tt/i3QetTd

Ask HN: How do you get companies to talk to you about their problems?
22 by Centigonal | 12 comments on Hacker News.
I do product development for a team that's creating solutions for life sciences & pharmaceutical companies that work with real-world data. This is a new industry vertical for us, so we don't have a bunch of existing customers we can go interview to understand what to build. It's already a reasonably crowded space, but the few pharma teams we've talked to express frustration with the speed and price of existing offerings. That said, I need much, much more information from users of existing offerings in our space to be able to form a product strategy that I have strong conviction in. I was reading Airbyte's company handbook[1] the other day, and it mentioned the co-founders did 45 discovery calls with customers using existing ELT tools in 3 months! I would kill for that kind of access to teams in our target market. How did they do that? Is that just the power of the YC network, or is there something I'm overlooking? My background is not in sales or BizDev, but I can pick up that skillset (or hire for it) to get these calls. Should I just start finding people in the pharma space, add them on LinkedIn, and request an informational interview? Are healthcare conferences good for getting these kinds of calls? Open to any advice or guidance - thank you! [1] https://ift.tt/51EUMB9 (Fantastic doc, BTW)
