Show HN: MiniSearch, a minimalist search engine with integrated browser-based AI
3 by felladrin | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce the release of my last project, MiniSearch. I admire Perplexity.ai, Phind.com, You.com, Bing, Bard and all these search engines integrated with AI chatbots. And as a curious developer, I took the chance and created my own version. Using Web-LLM and Transformers.js to provide browser-based text-generation models on desktop and mobile, I built a minimalist self-hosted search app on which an AI analyses the results, comments on them and responds to your query summarising the info. In the backend, it still queries a real search engine, but besides that, there's no other remote connection happening. For running in the browser and on mobiles, lightweight models are required, so we can't expect them to give stellar answers, but there are a few advantages of using this over the services as mentioned earlier: - Availability: The AI will always be available and respond with the maximum available speed from the device. - Privacy: Besides the queries that go anonymously to the actual search engine, nothing else leaves your device. - No ads/trackers: Get the relevant links clean and fast without being tracked. - Customization: As it's open-source, you can fork it and re-style it any way you want. You can get started with MiniSearch by cloning the repository from GitHub ( https://ift.tt/FP4JkWq ) and running it locally or by using it online on this HugginFace Space: https://ift.tt/63BZVGP (Alternative Space address: https://ift.tt/YNVHqOv ) You can even set it as your browser's address-bar search engine using the query pattern ` https://ift.tt/9sYPIgm ` (where your query replaces %s). At the moment of this writing, the app is using TinyLlama and LaMini-Flan-T5 models, but there's an option to try to use larger models like Mistral 7B (not recommended, though, as it could be slow and break the fast-search experience). That's what I had to share. Thanks for reading! Your feedback means the world to me! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions or want to learn more.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Natural language Twitter search using Codex

Show HN: Natural language Twitter search using Codex 3 by andyk | 0 comments on Hacker News. We built a structured search engine for Twitter called Bird SQL, available at https://ift.tt/7BU0hHb . Our search interface uses OpenAI Codex to translate natural language to SQL. Our backend then verifies the SQL, executes it, and displays the results on the web app. This makes large structured datasets like a scrape of Twitter easy for anyone to explore. As background, while working on text-to-SQL as a general problem, we came to believe one of its most powerful applications is as a search tool because: - SQL is hard to write by hand and prone to errors - It allows you to iterate quickly if you’re exploring a new dataset - A lot of contextual information that you’d normally have to internalize (e.g. your data’s schema) can be automatically generated and offloaded to the language model Using large language models (LLMs) like Codex to write the SQL for you means you don’t have to worry about

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python

Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python 2 by rezoolab | 0 comments on Hacker News. Originally, this library was created due to my motivation to make videos in Python. Of course, I considered other Python libraries, but I decided to create a new library for video editing because I needed the following features and also for study purposes: - The existence of composition. Especially, the ability to perform advanced video editing by inserting compositions within compositions. - The ability to add animations based on keyframes. - Effects like chroma key and drop shadow. - A caching mechanism to render the same frame quickly. - Various blending modes. These features, despite being standard in proprietary video editing software, were not present in previous Python libraries. Currently, I am using this library to automatically generate videos from raw materials. I would be grateful for any comments, thoughts, or requests.
