How I hacked together GPT4 and government data

# What My Project Does?

I built an AI system that uses only official USA government sources with GPT4 to help us navigate the bureaucracy.

The result is pretty cool, you can play around at https://app.clerkly.co/ .

# Target Audience

The target audience is everyone who has problems with dealing with USA government bureaucracy.

# Comparison

Google: I use only official government sources for answering your queries
ChatGPT: I use a combination of agents and only government sources to provide answers with high-quality quotable sources .

# How Did I Achieve This?

1. Locating Data

First, it's important to gather all the essential government data you need. This can involve a lot of time browsing various federal and local government websites. Your goal is to find the domains that hold the relevant information. Be patient and thorough during this phase because the quality of your data depends on it.

2. Scraping Data

To collect data from these sites, I used Apify (https://apify.com/). This platform allows you to set up web crawlers which can automatically extract data from web pages. However, setting up these crawlers can be tricky:

You'll have to make sure to exclude irrelevant pages like random address books or archives.
No single format works for all websites, so you'll need

Flask Mongo CRUD Package

I created a Flask package that generates CRUD endpoints automatically from defined mongodb models. This approach was conceived to streamline the laborious and repetitive process of developing CRUD logic for every entity in the application. You can find the package here: flask-mongo-crud · PyPI

Your feedback and suggestions are welcome :)

Sauron Vision Project

* **What My Project Does**

Hi guys,

I was building a bot to play DayZ (it's not going well :\^)

So I thought I'd leave the first part of the code here. It's simple but efficient. My program takes a screenshot from a window name (Ex: Chrome.exe) gets the size of the window in real-time, saves the capture and uses CV2 to match to a templates' folder. Finally returns matches in a log and bounding boxes in the processed folder, obviously you could save that info however you want ;)

I've put two versions of the code, one in full for reading and the other with utils so you can extend. For example, before gray scaling, you could get exact colours at specific pixels for state representation. Or add contours processing, OCR, etc

* **Target Audience** (e.g., Is it meant for production, just a toy project, etc.

I guess people who like to automate things, probably looking at dynamic environments like games or video feeds, or just live usage.

* **Comparison** (A brief comparison explaining how it differs from existing alternatives.)

I know that Pyautogui has some features to automate directly based on images, but the idea here was to use PyWin32 and Psutil so that

D What industry has the worst data?

Curious to hear - what industry do you think has the worst quality data for ML, consistently?

I'm not talking individual jobs that have no realistic and foreseeable ML applications like carpentry. I'm talking your larger industries, banking, pharma, telcos, tech (maybe a bit broad), agriculture, mining, etc, etc.

Who's the deepest in the sh**ter?

Master the python logging module

As a consultant I often find interesting topics that could warrent some knowledge sharing or educational content.
To satisfy my own hunger to share knowledge and be creative I've started to create videos with the purpose of free education for junior to medior devs.

My first video is about how the python logging module works and hopes to demystify some interesting behavior.

Hope you like it!

Open-Source SocialStarter Project

Six months ago, I started working on SocialStarter, an open-source Django project aimed at creating a flexible template for building social networks. The project includes features like posts, likes, comments, user relationships, and django-allauth for authentication. Unfortunately, due to an increasingly demanding workload, I haven’t been able to continue its development.

However, I believe in the potential of this project and the value of open-source collaboration. If you're someone just starting out and looking for a project to contribute to and learn from, I encourage you to jump in. SocialStarter offers a solid foundation, and with the right contributions, it could evolve into something significant. That’s the beauty of open-source—together, we can take a small idea and grow it into something impactful. If you’re interested, feel free to explore the GitHub repo and contribute.

New Django Library: Django Action Trigger

It's been a while since I’ve shared something, but I’m excited to announce the release of a new Python library: Django Action Triggers.

This project is inspired by an older one I built a few years ago (django-email-signals). Django Action Triggers is a library that allows you to trigger actions based on database changes in your Django application.

It supports webhook integration and can send messages to brokers such as Kafka and RabbitMQ. You can easily set up actions to be triggered by specific events, all configurable through the front end.

What My Project Does

It allows you to configure triggers where a trigger is essentially watching out for some kind of database change. This is done using signals (post_save, pre_save, etc).

Alongside these triggers, you can configure some kind of action to take place. For now, this only will allow you to hit a webhook, or send a message to a message broker (RabbitMQ and Kafka supported).

Target Audience

At the moment, this is a toy project to get me comfortable write code that's supposed to be extensible again. However, would be nice if this eventually reaches production.

Comparison

From what I've seen so far, at the moment there isn't anything comparable unless you consider setting everything up

Would a Django-Next.js-JWT Authentication Starter Kit be Useful?

I've been toying with the idea of putting together a Django-Next.js-JWT integration specifically designed for handling authentication. Here’s what I’m thinking: using Django Rest Framework (DRF) along with simple_jwt for the backend, complemented by a custom admin panel using Jazzmin. On the frontend, Next.js would be used purely for consuming this setup, focusing solely on authentication boilerplate.

However, I’m curious about your thoughts on this. Given the existence of NextAuth, I wonder if this effort might be redundant. Do you think there's still value in having a dedicated Django-Next.js-JWT starter kit for those who prefer a more tailored approach or need specific backend customization?

I'd love to hear what you think about this idea. Do you think it's worth the effort, or should I reconsider? Your thoughts would really help me out!

From what ive seen there arent many other projects out there that does this, but some of similar projects i have seen are:

- https://pypi.org/project/a-cv2-putTrueTypeText/ this project get the job done, but have really messy code and doesnt have any documentation.

Do Operating Systems Really Impact Web Development?

I've always used macOS throughout my web development journey, and I'm curious to know if the operating system you use has a significant impact on web development. Apart from personal preference, are there any major differences or benefits in using different operating systems like Windows or Linux for web development tasks?
