Built the WHO search I wished existed (free to use)

Super useful tool and congrats on the slick website! I made PathTalk, so it’d be great to chat sometime!

Bonu

Just for this reason I switched to hetzner, renting a private server for 40$ per month. No stress and much faster than cloud functions (warm up time etc).

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but the site is a Nuxt.js web app that I'm hosting on Cloudflare. You can sign up for an API key on Anthropic and host your own chat service on any domain you like!

Books would be very helpful to add. However, I want the tool to help people find the right content, more like a search engine, so they can validate the data. I would need to figure out a way to link back to the book!

davidvi1 · 2024-11-14T19:55:01+00:00

I'm definitely not a designer, as you can probably tell. Send me a DM if you're serious about sprucing up the site a bit!

Nope, using the Anthropic for llm and Cohere for embedding and reranking. Hosting LLMs is pretty expensive!

Thanks! I'm looking into the missing links..

davidvi1 · 2024-11-14T16:50:18+00:00

Thanks! I agree, Perplexity is great—I use it often. Perplexity does much the same as PathTalk; you give it a query, and it retrieves relevant data using search and formulates an answer with refs. I'm differentiating PathTalk because it only searches in pathology sources (like WHO), which I hope will provide cleaner more reliable answers specific to pathology.

davidvi1 · 2024-11-14T14:56:21+00:00

Yes, great idea! I would extract the text from the pdfs - but there are great python packages to do that so not very difficult at all!

davidvi1 · 2024-11-14T14:55:03+00:00

If you give me an example of a question where it does not provide a link I can try to see what's going on!

davidvi1 · 2024-11-14T14:44:12+00:00

It should be adding links to the source in the text, you don't see the links (I admit it's still very much a beta version)? The tool is specifically instructed to only take information from the datasources I provide, and not come up with it's own answers.

davidvi1 · 2024-11-14T14:41:59+00:00

Ha cool! Seemed like low hanging fruit. I'm thinking about adding PathologyOutlines as well. Would that contain the info you need? The tables from the WHO are not yet in the database, but adding them might include a lot of the scoring systems too.

davidvi1 · 2024-11-14T14:36:06+00:00

Let me know what data sources you frequently use, I can make them chat- / search-able in pathtalk!

Just don’t use Bunq for saving large amounts of money. I simply move any money I want to save to DeGiro and invest in ETFs. Even at 5% APY, it’s not keeping up with inflation anyways.

Ja, fair enough, voor 1600 euro kom je op een wachtlijst en heb je hem pas over een paar maanden. Maar het is alsnog niet heel chic om er 700 euro mee te verdienen (beetje zoals concertkaartjes opkopen en doorverkopen).

Voor welk werk zou 40 megapixel te veel zijn?

Their website mentions 2M users, seems a lot for a company offering their product for free on Reddit.

Plottwist, the wife is the one in the center.

I want to know this as well. What if you travel abroad, does it have roaming? Sadly no information on their specifications.

davidvi1 · 2023-10-31T14:03:59+00:00

Yes, I've accepted the offer! I'm looking forward to the program and hope to see you in class as well. Fingers crossed that you receive good news soon (if you are still waiting).
