Lifelogging with Large Language Models
I think the uncanny valley of this video as a makeshift 90s infomercial captures the audience and sells the product!
Caveat: vaporwave is one of my favorite genres so take this with a grain of salt.
And they have mobile apps :)
Why doesn't every school have columbiafacts.org?
This is what we need for the large language models I am training for health care use cases.
For example, constraining LLM output is currently done by masking, and having this rust based library would enable novel ways to train LLMs.

I finally took this community's advice after reading about plain text accounting for years but being too scared to dive in. I timeboxed it to an hour or two this weekend and thankfully large language models are more than up to the task! If anyone has done similar things or already solved this problem I'm all ears. Next up will be a dashboard using Observable Framework with this transactions...
I quit academia to start a non-profit focused on using open source to analyze the public hospital price transparency data.
We are now making similar dashboards for every hospital in the country, and need all the help we can get if you would be interested in using the latest geospatial mapping tools, databases (duckdb) and large language models to make sense of this massive amount of data.
Through a data bounty (https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/onefact/paylesshealth) we collected 4000+ hospital price sheets and made them public here: https://data.payless.health/#hospital_price_transparency/. This was on HN previously.
Grateful for all your support so far!!

Here's an example NLP tool I helped build we're using to do this: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.05342 -- it's in several pipelines now for data annotation and crowdsourcing.
Really meant as a critique of late stage capitalism where companies like Headspace have ads in New York encouraging us to “optimize” our mindfulness practice so we can train harder…

I found it a gentle but thorough introduction with great references for further reading. I wish I had read this before trying to design apps for the first time - it would have saved a lot of headache.
