Pretty cool. I tried to google it, and I couldn’t actually find the source for it. Just a bunch of articles about it and a reddit thread.

I’m curious what it’s written in

If it’s “open source hardware” wouldn’t it be pretty easy to put it different screens?

Like it also only had a 2 GB SD card… I’d guess most people would upgrade that

Are there existing tools you love (or hate) that do something similar?

This sounds similar to “Static code analysis” tools. Especially now that these code analysis tools are getting AI integrations.

For example we use coderabbit.ai. That does a code review on PRs in github, and reviews these sort of things. Especially the simpler things that you’ve mentioned like poor naming conventions, violations of language-specific best practices, and readability issues. I’m not sure if it will automatically come up with “large refactoring opportunities” by default - but maybe you can custom-prompt configure it to try, I guess

(Comment) Why have a separate webpage if such of helper can be built into IDE/editor?

Coderabbit also has IDE extensions: https://www.coderabbit.ai/ide - I think the separate webpage exists for org level configurations and overviews. These “best practices” are probably defined on a team level to ensure everyone uses the same code-style and things like that

I’m not sure if “just a website to copypaste code and get reviews” is really a good idea. Maybe for juniors that want to review one class or method or something. But usually code is spread across multiple files, and structural refactor opportunities are on a larger scale then just a couple files

On September 19, Ruby Central, a nonprofit organization that manages RubyGems.org, a platform for sharing Ruby code and libraries, asserted control over several GitHub repositories for Ruby Gems as well as other critical Ruby open source projects that the rest of the Ruby development community relies on.

Uhm, so how does this happen? If some people create Ruby Gems and host them under their own github account, how would Ruby Central suddenly assert control over them?

Since you’re getting downvoted, maybe you want to explain why using Github free is “pointing a loaded gun at your foot”?

I’m using github for a bunch of my public repos as a free backup service… Why would I want to use a self hosted or way more obscure git forge? Seems riskier than just dumping it on github

Probably the best thing Ubisoft released since assassin’s creed black flag

Snowe is sysadmin of programming.dev…

Many people believe that the ToS was added to make Mozilla legally able to train AIs on the collected data.

“Don’t attribute to malice what is easily explained by incompetence”

So yea Mozilla wrote some terms that where ambiguous and could be interpreted in different ways, and ‘many people believed’ that they did this intentionally and had the worst intentions possible by their interpretation of the new ToS

Then Mozilla rewrote that ToS after seeing how people were interpreting the original ToS:
https://www.theverge.com/news/622080/mozilla-revising-firefox-terms-of-use-data

And yea, now ‘many people will believe’ that ‘Mozilla revised their decision to do this after the backslash’ - OR, it was never their intention and now phrased it better after the confusion

People just want to get their pitchforks out and start drama at any possible opportunity without evidence of wrongdoing… Mozilla added stupid stuff to the ToS, ok yea fair enough - but if they actually did “steal user data” - this would be very easily detectable with Wireshark or something

Programming.dev is hosting Iceshrimp: https://bytes.programming.dev/

You could host your own instance, or if your opinion-pieces are programming related, post them there

It’s called embeddings in other models as well:
https://huggingface.co/blog/getting-started-with-embeddings
https://ollama.com/blog/embedding-models

Also some feedback, a bit more technical, since I was trying to see how it works, more of a suggestion I suppose

It looks like you’re looping through the documents and asking it for known tags, right? ({str(db.current_library.tags)}.)

I don’t know if I would do this through a chat completion and a chat response, there are special functions for keyword-like searching, like embeddings. It’s a lot faster, and also probably way cheaper, since you’re paying barely anything for embeddings compared to chat tokens

So the common way to do something like this in AI would be to use Vectors and embeddings: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/embeddings

So - you’d ask for an embedding (A vector) for all your tags first. Then you ask for embeddings of your document.

Then you can do a Nearest Neighbor Search for the tags, and see how closely they match

Recruitment is now basically Dead Internet theory…

It gives an example:

For example, with the phrase “My favorite tropical fruits are __.” The LLM might start completing the sentence with the tokens “mango,” “lychee,” “papaya,” or “durian,” and each token is given a probability score. When there’s a range of different tokens to choose from, SynthID can adjust the probability score of each predicted token, in cases where it won’t compromise the quality, accuracy and creativity of the output.

So I suppose with a larger text, if all lists of things are “LLM Sorted”, it’s an indicator.

That’s probably not the only thing, if it can detect a bunch of these indicators, there’s a higher likelihood it’s LLM text

Because Wordpress is also hosting 1000s of plugins that WP engine users can install.

I’m not sure what the license regarding those things is, WP engine could probably just mirror it -

But they basically got locked out of the default ecosystem infrastructure.

Since others already suggested mostly on-topic suggests, here’s an alternative suggestion:

Instead of looking specifically for a mentor - look for an open source project that you can help with. Ideally one with a discord or something to it’s easy to be in contact the the lead dev. A lot people don’t mind mentoring juniors, but in my experience it doesn’t happens that explicitly - “be my mentor” - and it might sound like you’re asking them a lot.

If you invert it into “Hey I wanna help you with your open-source project, but I don’t really know what to do, what your expectations are, how to implement a specific feature” - then you’re offering to do work them, instead of asking for something. And implicitly you’ll get mentorship in return.

And “real” projects probably also look better on your github / portfolio than only some dummy projects for learning purposes

You’re welcome

Yea, I agree.

Also what’s the point now? At least a couple years ago we got a pretty cool t-shirt. Now we’re just getting a digital badge…?

40% of you are getting paid for this…? 🫠

That doesn’t really work all the time, because large files or large commits are lazy loaded on scroll, so what you’re searching might not have loaded yet

The code search does a server side search

Omg it’s sooo daammmn slooow it takes around 30 seconds to bulk - insert 15000 rows

Do you have any measurements on how long it takes when you just ‘do it raw’? Like trying to do the same insert though SQL Server Management Studio or something?

Because to me it’s not really clear what’s slow. Like you’re complaining specifically about the Microsoft ODBC driver - but do you base that on anything? Can you insert faster from Linux or through other means?

Like if it’s just ‘always slow’ it might just be the SQL Server. If you can better pinpoint when it’s slow, and when it’s fast(er) that probably helps to tell how to speed it up
