Show HN: GPT-4-powered web searches for developers Hi HN, Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search. GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a step-by-step guide complete with citations ( https://ift.tt/wTiIL7N... ) while Phind in default mode meanders a bit and answers the question very generally ( https://ift.tt/6nMrVwp... ). GPT-4 is significantly more concise and “systematic” in its answers than our default model. It generates step-by-step instructions over 90% of the time, while our default model does not. We’re particularly focused on ML developers, as Phind can answer questions about many recent ML libraries, papers, and technologies that ChatGPT simply cannot. Even with ChatGPT’s alpha browsing mode, Phind answers technical questions faster and in more detail. For example, Phind running on “Expert” GPT-4 mode can concisely and correctly tell you how to run an Alpaca model using llama.cpp: ( https://ift.tt/nHO7BCm... ). In contrast, ChatGPT-4 hallucinates and writes a make function for a fictional llama.cpp. We still have a long way to go and would love to hear your feedback. https://www.phind.com April 12, 2023 at 11:44PM
Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
