Show HN: GPT Classifies HN Titles With all the "what can GPT do", I went to dabble with it to see if I could do something that plays to its strengths rather than just speculating about "would it be good at that?" https://ift.tt/fxlo5Vw The basis for the prompt is: Classify following titles into one or more of {US Politics}, {World Politics}, {Technology}, {Security}, {Current Events}, {Boasting}, {Curiosity}, {Unknown} The results from the front page as I type this: 34152137 Technology: Lite XL: A lightweight text editor written in C and Lua 34151880 Curiosity: Hydrochloric acid is more complicated than you think 34156235 World Politics, Current Events: Apple Japan hit with $98M in back taxes for missing duty-free abuses 34152333 Technology: The Architecture of the Lisa Personal Computer (1984) [pdf] 34151951 Curiosity: The Zen anti-interpretation of quantum mechanics (2021) 34155009 Unknown: Added 49 volumes of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee law 34145665 Technology: FEA Solver that doesn't need defeaturing 34151107 World Politics, Current Events: Amazon packages burn in India, final stop in broken recycling system 34155783 Technology: Your Cellphone Will Be a Satphone 34154778 World Politics, Current Events: Vandals destroy 30k-year-old indigenous cave drawings in Australia 34146397 Boasting: Ask HN: Elevator Pitch for a Polymath? 34151708 Technology: All About USB-C: Illegal Adapters 34149340 World Politics, Current Events: Southwest cancels 5,400 flights in less than 48 hours 34154896 Technology: Beaker Browser is now archived 34145811 Technology: Run Third-Party Scripts from a Web Worker 34152978 World Politics, Current Events: When Algorithms Rule, Values Can Wither 34152981 Security: Experian Vulnerability Shows Any Report with just SSN, DOB, ADR 34151382 World Politics, Security, Current Events: US Government demands direct police access to European biometric data [pdf] 34143272 Curiosity: Archaeologists devise a better clock for Biblical times 34149804 Technology: Using eBPF and predefined inspections to minimize “observability tax” 34155875 US Politics: Ventura Issues 34152100 Technology: Anki SRS Algorithm : Spaced repetition explained with code 34154406 Technology: How RISC-V Timer Interrupts Work 34146493 Curiosity: Old-school computing: when your lab PC is ancient (2021) 34152369 Technology: BorgBackup: Deduplicating archiver with compression and encryption 34147825 Technology: Show HN: Self-hosted CMS on serverless Cloudflare 34153648 Boasting: Brooklyn Bar Menu Generator (2015) 34117429 Unknown: “Blue Light” creating capacity for nothing (2007) 34149239 Curiosity: Visually symmetric words There are certainly some that one could argue would be different though I think its fairly correct based on titles alone. I'll also note that there are some different results when I was working in a smaller sample size - the entry "Added 49 volumes of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee law" was classified as "US politics, Current Events" rather than "Unknown". I do want to note that isn't that bad. Running this: "prompt_tokens":560,"completion_tokens":222,"total_tokens":782 So, this is just a hair under $0.02 to do. Thinking about it, some cleanup can be done by removing the year and media type which could trim a few tokens off the request. December 28, 2022 at 08:00AM

Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
