Show HN: Simply explain 20k concepts using GPT Hi HN! I made a tool that autogenerates simple, high-level explanations of concepts and organizes them in a somewhat university course-like structure so that it's easier to see how things are structured. Currently it has about 20,000 concepts on a range of topics but that's just what I generated so far, it should work with more obscure topics in the future. I love learning about random topics where I don't have a good background in like history or linguistics, but it's hard to figure out what topics there (you don't know what you don't know) are in certain fields and what they are even about, so this was a way to get the high level idea about random things that I wanted to know about. It also only uses the information in the GPT model at the moment, so obviously information can't be trusted completely and you should definitely double check any information you read here by Googling. I'm thinking of doing the

Six people from two families -- one of Romanian descent with Canadian passports, the other from India -- were found dead in a marsh near the Canada-US border after trying to cross illegally into the United States, police said Friday. Their bodies were discovered late Thursday near a capsized boat belonging to a missing man from the Akwesasne Mohawk community, local deputy police chief Lee-Ann O'Brien told a news conference. "The six individuals are believed to be from two families, one of Romanian descent and the other believed to be citizens of India," she said, adding that they include five adults and one child under the age of three. "All are believed to have been attempting illegal entry into the US from Canada," she said. O'Brien added that a second infant whose passport was recovered from one of the bodies appears to also be missing and police dive teams were continuing to search. The Mohawk tribal territory straddles the Canadian provinces of Que

It was a photo-op moment to melt the stoniest of hearts. The Khans attended the gala opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai on Friday night and while Shah Rukh skipped the red carpet, Salman and Aamir didn't. Neither did SRK's family – wife Gauri, son Aryan and daughter Suhana posed together for the cameras and were then joined by Salman, last seen reprising his role of super spy Tiger in SRK's film Pathaan . The quartet chatted and smiled for pictures as flashbulbs popped. Salman also posed for a picture with Aryan. Shah Rukh Khan, who regularly skips red carpets of late, likely attended the event – this picture was posted by his manager Pooja Dadlani.

Show HN: Cadseer. a parametric solid modeling CAD desktop application Cadseer is in the same genre as: solidworks, inventor, freecad etc... Cadseer is alpha software, so lots of missing features, bugs, crashes, file incompatibilities etc... About me: I spent 15 years designing stamping dies on a high end cad system. During that time, I also developed and marketed extensions/plugins toward that cad system. Through that experience, I came disillusioned with 'vendor lock-in' and proprietary software in general. I basically retired, took the vow of poverty and moved all my computing to open source. I have since, and continue to, try and improve the open source cad environment. https://ift.tt/TKNJDeO April 1, 2023 at 12:05AM

Tushar Deshpande created history by becoming the first 'Impact Player' in the history of the Indian Premier League.  Deshpande replaced Ambati Rayudu for Chennai Super Kings during the IPL 2023 opener against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. The five substitute players named for the side ahead of the match were - Tushar Deshpande, Subhranshu Senapati, Shaik Rasheed, Ajinkya Rahane, Nishant Sindhu. On the other hand, GT named B Sai Sudharsan, Jayant Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Abhinav Manohar, KS Bharat as their substitutes.

There's only one place where the who's who of celeb-dom are gathering tonight – the opening of the brand new Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai. Just how starry is the event? Here's a clue – the rarely spotted Rajinikanth, no less, made an appearance, dressed simply in black and accompanied by daughter Soundarya. Bollywood showed up in numbers – Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh held hands, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan brought daughter Aaradhya along, as she does, Alia Bhatt glittered in a saree and Salman Khan struck a pose with Shah Rukh Khan's family – wife Gauri, son Aryan and daughter Suhana. Two special guests flew in all the way from Los Angeles – Priyanka Chopra and husband Nick Jonas were pictured at Mumbai airport this afternoon with daughter Malti Marie (on her first visit to India). Just hours later, Priyanka and Nick were at the Ambani event, looking most glam. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh setting couple goals as usual. God knows we don&

Fourteen people were killed when the roof of a stepwell collapsed at a temple in Madhya Pradesh's Indore today. The stepwell roof at the Beleshwar Mahadev temple broke due to the sheer weight of the crowds on Ram Navami. A havan (ritual) was being performed when the incident happened. Sources have said the tragedy could have been averted had the Indore Municipal Corporation acted on the complaints filed by residents. The temple is managed by a private trust. It is located at Sneh Nagar, one of the oldest residential colonies in Indore. On Ram Navami, the havan was being performed on a platform of the temple, which was actually a concrete slab covering a stepwell. It wasn't strong enough to hold the weight of 30-40 people. Suddenly, the roof collapsed, plunging the devotees into the 40-feet-deep stepwell with water up to 9 feet. NDTV has accessed a copy of the notice issued to the Beleshwar Mahadev Jhulelal Temple trust in April 2022, saying the commissioner has received a

Pope Francis, 86, was admitted to a hospital in Rome on Wednesday with a respiratory infection which will require a stay of a few days, the Vatican said. "In recent days Pope Francis has complained of some breathing difficulties," said Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni in a statement. The pontiff was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital for medical checks, which revealed "a respiratory infection... that will require a few days of appropriate hospital medical treatment", Bruni said, adding that a Covid-19 infection had been excluded. Earlier in the afternoon, the Vatican had said Francis had been admitted "for some previously scheduled checks." The pope, who this month marked 10 years as head of the Catholic Church, had earlier appeared in good spirits at his weekly audience at the Vatican, smiling as he greeted the faithful from his "popemobile". However, he was seen grimacing as he was helped getting into the vehicle and Italian media repor

Calling the 'impulsive buys', Royal Challengers Bangalore (RBC) star player Virat Kohli on Wednesday said he sold most of the cars that he purchased over the years. "Most of the cars I used to own were impulsive buys, I ended up hardly driving or travelling in them as well. Beyond a point, I was like this is pointless, so I ended up selling most of them and now we only use what we absolutely need to, it's about being practical," said the Indian cricketer while speaking on RCB's YouTube channel during a recent photoshoot.

Finally, the much-awaited trailer of magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan 2 was released on Wednesday. The 3-minute-long trailer, starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi and Trisha Krishnan, offers a sneak peek into the sequel with some breathtaking visuals and action sequence. The trailer starts with the news of Arunmozhi Varman aka Ponniyin Selvan's (played by Jayam Ravi) death. In the next frame, we can see some power-packed action sequences led by Aditha Karikalan (played by Vikram), who has been offered to rule the other half of the Chola Kingdom.  However, it seems Arunmozhi Varman aka Ponniyin Selvan is alive as Kundavai (played by Trisha) questions him about who saved his life, to which he answers, "Nandini". Next, we see Nandini planning to avenge the death of her father as she can be heard saying, "We will destroy the Cholas." Towards the end of the trailer, Nandini, who plays the love interest of Aditha Karikalan, comes face to face him.

Billionaire Warren Buffett predicted that young people would soon turn to Jay-Z for financial guidance during an old interview with the rapper. Interestingly, the artist's net worth is now $2.5 billion, according to the latest Forbes estimates. Jay-Z was also the first billionaire rapper in the world. Since then, his fortune has increased as a result of a number of wise business decisions and ventures, creating what Forbes refers to as "a sprawling and diversified empire." According to its Real-Time Billionaires ranking, he is the 1,205th richest person in the world.  Amid this, an old Forbes interview of Jay-Z with the legendary investor is going viral. In the interview, he compared his approach to his music career with the Oracle of Omaha's strategy of investing only in businesses he knows rather than what is most popular.  "Music is like stocks. There's the hot thing of the moment. People tend to make emotional decisions based on that. They don't sti

"'I'd been meeting with the team from OpenAI since 2016..." --from Bill Gates' essay The Age of AI Has Begun. It's big when someone like Gates is so bullish on AI. Also notable that MSFT has been tracking this so closely for so long," he said.

Show HN: GPT-Shell – An AI-Powered Bash Shell Hello HN folks! I've been working on a side project called GPT-Shell, an AI-powered command-line interface that aims to revolutionize the way we interact with our development environment. I'm thrilled to share this early, slightly buggy, but functional open release with you all! GPT-Shell leverages state-of-the-art language models to interpret natural language inputs, allowing you to write code, perform complex tasks, or even troubleshoot issues using simple, human-like commands. While it's still a work in progress, I believe that it has the potential to make our lives as developers easier and more efficient. Keep in mind that this is a first release, and it might have its quirks. I'd appreciate any feedback, suggestions, and bug reports from you—the passionate and knowledgeable tech community—to help me refine and improve GPT-Shell further. Feel free to dive in, explore, and let me know what you think. I'm eager to hear

A group of men in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelvelli district have alleged custodial torture by an IPS officer. A magisterial inquiry has been ordered and the officer in question has been put on "compulsory wait, pending inquiry". The alleged torture is said to have taken place 10 days ago at the Ambasamudram police station. The men -- five shop keepers and an auto driver who have been accused in an assault case -- are now out on bail. The men alleged that Assistant Superintendent of Police Balveer Singh "crushed the testicles" of a man, despite knowing he is newly married. Five of the men say they had their teeth broken. The officer, they allege, had filled their mouth with gravel and then punched them on the cheek. One of them, Mariappan, is "bed-ridden and in a critical condition" said Chellappan, another man in the group. One of them showed a half-healed scar on his shoulder, claiming it to be a relic of the torture. The officer had changed into t-shirt
