    Awesome idea! The entity tracking is very exciting, most interesting part imo

    I think the budget is noticeable in the sentiment analysis unfortunately, the tags and entity recognition are good but the sentiment ratings themselves seem pretty sloppy.

      I think it's mostly prompting, but I will be experimenting with this more. The prompt currently is garbage IMO

          You are an expert analyst of the Hacker News community. Analyze submissions for
          the underlying ideas, concepts, technologies, and entities being discussed.
      
          Write all summaries in third-person analytical prose. Do NOT start sentences
          with "The user", "The commenter", "The author", or "This post". Instead, lead
          with the substance: describe the idea, argument, or phenomenon directly.
      
          Good: "Decentralized identity systems could reduce reliance on corporate
          gatekeepers." Bad: "The user discusses how decentralized identity systems work."

    Well done.

    If I could suggest, please make green colors more distinct in sentiment split wheel, they seem to be very similar now.

    This is virtually identical to tools the US Department of Homeland Security uses across each social media platform and major website with comments to monitor sentiment and activities.

    Congrats, I guess.

      I was also told this by someone randomly while working at a coffee shop here in DC. Something about CGA.

    Very interesting. LLMs open up space for transforming unstructured raw data into visualizations and dashboards. I made something just looking at “Who wants to be hired” posts.

      Does that use the "real" LinkedIn API or something else like Playwright?

      What model does it use?

      What vector database is it using?
