Show HN: Chat with G-Drive Folder in Sheets

Hacker News - Mon, 04/01/2024 - 11:51am

Q&A PDF, Google Doc, and .docx files without leaving Google Sheets. Uses Drive API and PDF.js to take in a G-Drive folder URL, fetch docs and extract document text. It processes fairly quickly, ~1000 pages extracted+chunked+embedded in ~7 seconds.

The script creates an HTML modal to let the script use browser functionality, getting around some of Apps Scripts (Google's built-in, lightweight scripting platform) limitations and another HTML modal is used to Q&A the documents in a conversational way, all within a Google Sheets tab.

I was already doing this by downloading files/using a script or another platform to analyze them with an LLM. Most of my files are in G-Drive, so this skips an annoying step.

Would love to see any comments/feedback or discuss similar projects you're working on.

Show HN: DN$ – an innovative, ad-supported DNS resolver

Hacker News - Mon, 04/01/2024 - 11:48am

Tired of companies snooping through your DNS traffic? Don't you wish you could get advertisements with your DNS records?

Today we're introducing the innovative, privacy-focused, ad-supported DNS resolver - DN$! Traditional DNS resolvers provided by your internet service provider, cloudflare, or google could be tracking your internet activity and selling it to third-party data vendors. We at DN$ want to fix that and cut out these nefarious actors (until we've amassed a critical number of users to exploit).

In order to support such a radically new business model, our service needs to serve adverts because $INSERT_FAKE_REASONS. Open source and built in rust - our software is secure and blazingly fast because it is open source and built in rust.

As a corporate entity, our executives are not liable for prison time and will probably only be fined small financial penalties for any serious crimes we commit. However, we *promise* that we are NOT doing anything nefarious like tracking and selling your user data and internet behavior. We will also NOT be using the data (we are not collecting : ) to train AI models to make ourselves rich.

Did we mention that it's built in rust therefore it's safe and fast?

Send your DNS queries to `35.223.197.204` :) to try it out:

``` dig @35.223.197.204 hackernews.com ```
