> I wanted to analyze books, not editions, so I selected one edition for each book. I ended up with around 9 million unique books.

How did you select which was the true book? In some cases it appears that you picked the non-english language version of a book where the english language version would have been the more widely read one.

Good question! I selected the edition with the smallest Goodreads ID¹ that has the publication date and cover photo available. If all editions don't have publication date nor cover photo, then we get the one with the smallest ID.

And you're right, in a few cases, this resulted in getting less widely read editions for some books.

1: Assuming smaller ID means earlier addition to Goodreads' database.

Hi Jeremy, congratulations for the launch.

How does this compare to Dash?

I've used Dash for many applications, so I'm wondering what are the advantages of FastHTML?

Weatherspark for visualizing weather data over time. Great for planning the time of year to visit foreign lands.

Been looking for such a website to show weather for the whole year like this. Thanks for sharing.
ammar_x commented on Ask HN: Most successful example using LLMs in daily work/life?    · Posted by u/sabrina_ramonov

I have Raycast extensions for GPT and Claude models. Whenever I have a question, the most powerful LLMs in the world are two key strokes away.

This way is easier than going to the browser then ChatGPT tab for example then creating a new chat.

I found myself using LLMs more and getting more out of them because of this frictionless interaction. They've become more of actual "helpful assistants."

The article compares GPT-4o to Sonnet from Anthropic. I'm wondering how Opus would perform at this test?

Wiki page before meeting is basically what we do.

Can you explain more? Like which tool do you use for this wiki page? Or is it an internal tool? And do you use it to write meeting notes and then discuss on the same page?
