Show HN: Papertrails – Your personalized feed of new research papers

Hey HN,I’m an AI researcher who craves staying up to date on all of the state of the art techniques in my field.Yet I’ve become very frustrated with my workflow for discovering new papers.Google scholar alerts are too noisy, twitter is too skewed, and relying on word of mouth alone is too fragile. I created Papertrails to solve this problem for myself.Papertrails builds a feed of new research...

Re:Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs? on Tuesday February 06, 2024 @05:09PM (#39281442)
I built a tool that uses LLMs to write a literature review on any research topic. (https://www.epsilon-ai.com).

It gives back ChatGPT styled answers, but they contain citations to underlying academic articles so that you know the claims are valid. Clicking on the reference actually takes you directly the paragraph in the source material where the claim was found.

Zenfetch (https://www.zenfetch.com/) does an awesome job at this!

Just triggered a resend!

We're using NextJS + Vercel for the main app and langchain + Pinecone for the AI retrieval!

Re:Every Software Project Is a Startup That Will Probably Fail on Thursday September 07, 2023 @02:36PM (#37423559)
I don't know if giving developers more skin in the game is the appropriate response to this. I do think they should have skin in the game for their work but I just think it's unrelated to this thesis. Most developers don't really have a material impact on the success/failure of the project. And that's because my inclination is that most software projects fail not because of some technical reason, but because it couldn't find product market fit. That's not something that's really on the developer.

In fact, I'm not sure it's on anyone. There's inherent risk in every project, and the team's job is to maximize the probability of success. At least that's the way a process-first person would probably think about it.

Results-first folks might argue that a great team will find a way to succeed. And then definitely, having more skin in the game will help with motivation. But I still think even the best team is just maximizing probability of success, and still they're more likely than not going to fail, because getting PMF is hard.
