Show HN: Function Maps by CodeSee – Transforming Code Understanding
Hey HN,

Exciting news from CodeSee: We've just launched Function Maps, and we're eager to share it with the community here. Function Maps is a new tool designed to revolutionize how developers visualize and navigate complex codebases, right within their IDE.

What sets it apart? It's not just a visualization tool; it's an interactive map of your code that updates in real-time. With Function Maps, you can see how functions connect, track logic paths, and understand code dependencies at a glance. It's built to tackle the challenges we all face with large-scale codebases - think of it as your personal guide through the labyrinth of your code.

We're not just introducing a tool; we're proposing a new way to interact with your code, making it more intuitive and efficient, especially during critical development stages like debugging, onboarding, and refactoring.

We'd love your thoughts, insights, and feedback on this. Your perspective is invaluable in making Function Maps even better.

Check it out here: https://codesee.io/function-maps

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Why would my VMs or my hardware have wifi?

My laptop sure, but I have network manager on a gui for that. My netplan config on my laptop is literally

# Let NetworkManager manage all devices on this system
network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
Either of those solutions is ok from a junior developer.

From a senior developer, I would expect a discussion of in-core vs. out-of-core operations, and the fact that hash tables (even if they fit into RAM) aren't really O(1) time per operation since random access to large address spaces runs into e.g. TLB misses.
We already pay to clean lots of buildings, and rain should help with that too, no? Seems like this would be a very solvable problem to me, but maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem fundamentally.

Ask HN: Storing LLM models on external SSD: Is the SSD speed important?
For example:

Samsung T7 w/ USB 3.2 (read: 1050MB/s) vs. Fantom w/ Thunderbolt 3/4 (read: 2800MB/s)
> Well, you can make stepwise rational choices all the way down into oblivion and watching your cities and states fall apart.

This is a good point. We often see this pathological behavior in training neural networks (HN's latest interest du jour). It's easy to find local minima and think this is the best it's going to get, even if the global minima is in a completely different direction. Given the general danger of a stochastic optimization algorithm which would see us changing the law to increase harm, perhaps stepwise optimization algorithms are not the way one should run a government, yet this seems to be the only accepted political methodology these days. If someone suggests something completely new, even if they have ample evidence or a good causal model, they are often ignored.
Trivially with NetworkManager, which is there anyway.
Have the overall societal costs of dealing with the consequences of drug use gone up due to decriminalization?

Furthermore, you could use the same argument about the effects of a whole lot of other mental health and healthcare issues. It'd be cheaper to let a whole lot of people suffer or die. It'd also be grossly inhumane. Like China.
Very cool idea; I always wished the NaNoWriMo energy would persist past November. That's actually why I added forums to my own writing site and have had _decent_ luck keeping the momentum going year-round (at least, some years).

If you end up adding an API or looking for other sites to partner with, feel free to reach out sometime (email on profile). Not sure what your needs are but I might be able to help from Notebook.ai. :)

The dot in “CivitAI" is between “AI” and “com” if you are referring to the domain name, or just “there isn't one” if you are referring to the name.
I just got it to write some code without any comments.

Sometimes you have to ask it in very specific ways to achieve what you're wanting - it is definitely limited in some areas though.

Handedness is important in neuroscience as there are functional asymmetries for things such as language. Pretty much all right-handed brains have language lateralized to the left side, whereas around 70% of left-handers also have language lateralized to the left side. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4219560/ So if a person is left-handed it's unknown if the lateralization of various functions in their brain is the same as a right-hander or if things are mapped in strange places. Left-handers also have higher rates of schizophrenia and other disorders.

I say this as a left-hander who is doing his PhD in neuroscience, haha.
I also have a chronic condition and am experienced with what you're talking about. Personally I favor the approved treatment option, while also maintaining a healthy diet and exercise. I know what you mean though, there is a group of people that will reach for the low probability "cure." I think it's a personality trait of people who think they're in on a secret that no one else knows. Some combination of ignorance and arrogance.

Keto operates in both worlds. There are real world, approved applications. Even with multiple sclerosis keto has been shown to help with fatigue and depression, but it's not yet an approved treatment. It probably will never be. On the other hand some people with MS tout keto as a cure, for which there is scant evidence.
Launch license secured!
You're saying that you wish there were some way that neither grandparent nor parent had to stay home with the children, other than spending a full salary on childcare, right?

I guess my instinct is that all worthwhile pursuits require sacrifice and childrearing, being the most worthwhile pursuit, should reasonably take the most sacrifice. And I revel in the fact that, through decades of schooling and job experience and saving, I can keep my wife home with the kids and live in reasonable material comfort, just a little below the median income for equivalently sized households in my state.
While I might not be the best as I just joined using .NET for an open source application 2-3 years ago, I did just convince my boss to let me rewrite our (really crappy) Java application with a new version (to enable her 2 year vision) in .NET.

Spring boot vs .NET is pretty similar, they both offer DI, Filters, Middlewares, etc. The ways I really proved to switch (given my development team is usually freshers) is to showcase the power of the Identity framework, LINQ (especially with EF Core and the ability to still use Raw Queries), and just overall being easier than Java (LINQ methods, extensions, syntax sugar).

Another big one is how damn easy it is to update and the performance posts MS does with the improvements. So you literally change one line in simple web apps and get performance boosts. Java doesn't really have that PR and the language (imo) is very verbose and painful to use (like their stream API).

All in all, we are building our rewrite in .NET (and Angular 17) and my team and I couldn't be happier.
Good question.

We're not a marketplace just like NaNoWriMo isn't a marketplace. As an author you build an author profile (like any other social media) and link directly to where people buy books (Except we have catered icons for Ao3, Amazon, wattpad, quotev, etc that show up on the profile).

So the cataloging of publications on the profile is just like Amazon's author profile, GoodReads' author profile, a person website, etc it's another place for people to find ones work.

The plus side of an author profile is if you share your publications they can rank on the community feed where new readers can organically find your novel. Then go to Amazon, B&N, etc and purchase it.

The reader can also follow the author so if the author adds blog posts they'll see it show up on the feed. Which I think will be a great way for Authors to talk about book tours, new novel releases or WIP they're starting.

It isn't so much about wordcount is the focus but building an author brand on the platform where ones publications, WIP and posts are all talking to the same algo on the community feed. Here people can easily find new authors and what they are working on in an author/reader relationship I haven't found else where.
Anglo governments are especially bad with this. In general Anglo governments have a huge problem with trying to run government on the cheap operationally but inflating their budgets for projects and tort defense. They try to keep taxes low to appease their citizens but when new infrastructure or systems need to be built, they hire contractors who are less efficient than on-site dedicated staff and can be paid for with a 10/20/30 year tax increase. Instead of relying on a large bureaucracy to create ministerial due process, they rely on tort reform and an army of expensive lawyers and unclear judicial processes instead. The end result is a lack of state capacity.

In the end all of this probably ends up costing society more, not to mention the eroding trust in the state, but it keeps getting politicians reelected because Anglo citizens hate paying taxes. I do activism for transit and pedestrian safety in the US and I see the desire for low taxes to cross almost all party and class lines (though I admit I live in a Blue area.)
Yes, because you could in theory run `pip install`, then manually read through every file you've just downloaded, then run `python myapp.py`.

But every package manager seems to grant RCE to every installed package. I agree it's broken.
The feedback for Slack is a hit and miss, for example it considers the signup buttons too small, or customer logos too small - is there an issue with its perception or mine? Additionally down below it says button color matches background which isn't true, but other sister buttons may be, which is misleading.
At the end of this, I think some parts are useful, but not sure by how much when I have to sift through and ignore the other parts....

Is it possible to adjust the prompts to address some of this? or have a second to run validate the output?
More like 1+ hours per class once they hit middle school.
The same mildly sleazy stuff that tends to happen with politicians' children; companies hoping to garner favor. Same reason Jenna Bush and Meghan McCain wind up working for big media conglomerates. Hunter Biden's hardly unique in this regard.

What's in question is whether it works, which I suspect varies from politician to politician. The assertions of Joe Biden having acted based on Hunter's desires, thus far, don't seem compelling.
I use a MacBook and I bought a used €15 PC recently, and that PC covers most of my use-cases while stationary.
The CAFE regulations have been a disaster for the safety and affordability of vehicles and US regulators need to figure out a way to legislate fuel effeciency in such a way that doesnt lead to the difference between a 1990's F-150 and a 2020's F-150. It would also do the US a world of good to get rid of the chicken truck import tax.
> ... it should be clear that "just asking questions" only applies when the answers are already well known, where the question embodies a point refuted a thousand times, and where the questioner exhibits willful ignorance. If, for example, someone phrased their political argument as a series of questions — but provided sources to back up said questions, or has raised logical arguments in said questions — then it is not enough to dismiss the argument as "just asking questions".

So, the IAEA and Grossi either can't establish where the shells are fired from (hard to believe given the prolonged and intensive nature of the shelling and the amount of evidence) or are hesitant / not allowed to incriminate the party they believe is responsible.
"My blood hurts" and "wave of babies" are phrases I still say with some regularity
Google, nor any other corp, should be a Judge on a legal matter. That's why a Judge should be involved.

The entire idea of of the DCMA is just massively flawed and biased towards a world where only big publishers and big criminal enterprises exist.

> People driving over other people daily is not enough? I like alcohol myself but no clue why it always gets a pass. Well I do: they didn’t manage to even make the prohibition work even a little bit

Prohibition worked extremely well. The data is unequivocal: https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/6/5/18518005/prohibit.... Hundreds of thousands of lives were saved.
Methodology in online advertising exists solely to placate the marketing managers and give them nice graphs.

That doesn't negate the fact that targeted advertising is drastically more cost effective for smaller companies. It's drastically more valuable for sites that provide advertising space. It's a win-win for almost everyone involved.

We're talking about ads, not recommended content here. These are two very different things. You conflated them, to make an argument that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
NetworkManager is that api driven tool, with cli frontend available too (nmcli); I don't get the need for netplan either.
oh the lengths they go through to avoid open source

in this case the length is about "11–14 minutes" of text
It's just speaking to the idea of pack mentality. It's ingrained in us to go with the flow because we're a social species. So, if someone else makes a mistake, it's not nearly as bad if we make a mistake as well. On the flip-side, if you're the only person around, you can't rely on anyone else and it forces you to think about things.

It's not always true of course; just a colloquialism.
You need to think of it as a system of feedback loops. If you don't stem the input of the cycle of drug abuse by investing a little, your problem gets worse.

It seems people take a moral or 'fairness' based attitude to these social phenomena and that's what causes things like the war on drugs as a form of justice. The idea that everyone is self determined, which in a small way is true of the individual. But if you look at people in aggregate things are more clear, the universe doesn't play by those rules...
The issue here is that, after M110, there is little the police can do to prevent *public* usage of hard drugs like fentanyl. Drug addicts will be smoking fent in front of a K-5 school and all the police can do is fine them. There is more enforcement of public alcohol consumption than fent / meth.
Neat dashboard, fun to explore.
One thing, sort of related, I find it interesting that 5 or 6 of the top AI chat bot apps are from Turkey. Anyone have any insight into what fosters such a disproportionate offering from there? Do they have successful AI incentives from the government etc?
Show HN: Find hidden engineering bottlenecks with LLMs
I'm Masha, Stanford alum and cofounder of Disto. Disto is a tool that analyzes questions asked in Slack to identify inefficiencies and roadblocks that slow down engineers.

Existing engineering productivity tools show you which part of your development cycle is slow, but don’t show you why or what you can do about it. We built Disto to solve this problem.

Please give it a try! Sign up and use it here: https://app.distoai.com/sign-up

We would love to hear any feedback, questions, or feature requests! Please join our Slack channel, leave a comment here, or email me at masha@distoai.com.

Elon was literally a founder of OpenAI. Private space, EV, AI. Three major tech industries with him at the forefront from the beginning.

Calling him a hype chaser is simply wrong.
Musk had the idea of nuking the polar ice caps on Mars, which we could probably technically do today...
C++20, Spans, Threads and Fun
This isn't about putting a whole new atmosphere on Mars.

But if we did, it would have to be replenished but it would be lost on geological not human timescales. Think significant amounts of atmosphere lost after 100,000 years.

You could do the same with the moon.
> While sloping front ends did not reduce the risk posed by vehicles with the tallest hoods, they did make a difference for vehicles with hood heights of 30-40 inches

And these benefits is fairly likely to immediately be countered by a lift kit by the end user, bringing them back up against the 40" problem range. It's amazing to me how often lift kits are added to pickups; amazing as in "it's not actually adding to the ground clearance beneath the diff, it's mostly cosmetic."

Anyways. Good article, but I have serious doubts their advice would ever be followed.
Nothing that this article discusses is particularly noteworthy or novel - Literally chapter 7 of the most common Econ 101 book (Paul Krugman's) covers "Imperfect Competition" in much better, less circular detail.

However, the mental gymnastics the author performs to reach these conclusions is impressive on its own right. "You are not buying an apple, but the property rights to an apple" is just the sort of non-parody content I have come to expect from Substack writers at this point.

If you are actually interested in how supply and demand work in non-monetary markets (like the POW camp example), I cannot recommend enough "Who Gets What and Why" by Alvin Roth, the father of Kidney exchange programs.
That's what I'm trying to avoid.
Drugs were already being used. Some of the drugs that were decriminalized are not causing issues. Some do cause issues.

The "issue" drugs and their users existed no matter what, and decriminalization of them (I suspect) hasn't caused a spike in users of the bad drugs.

I for one, will not try meth or heroin no matter how accessible it is.

Decriminalization says "okay we don't want this stuff on the shelf at Walgreens, but trying to jail people for it isn't working, so let's try something else".

Jailing costs money. Treatment costs money. The question is which tool is better for society and each citizen?
Ask HN: How did you get people to visit your personal blog?
Not really been having a lot of success with getting people to visit my blog.

Curious to hear some of the ways that people here have got others to visit their blog.
Real time means it doesn't need the whole audio clip to work..
Or we accept that all people do good things and bad things, and that a very good thing someone does might inspire others to name a thing after them without any implied endorsement of other bad things that same person has done or will do.
That example was terrible. The ivory example was terrible. The housing market example is stupendously bad. Not a great article.
The video showing the distortions from the shockwave off the jet are pretty amazing
Great, now let's see the NHTSA (in the US) implement some pedestrian safety rules in car requirements. We have known this for years and just watched the pedestrian fatalities surge upward.
> how on earth is anyone comfortable driving around not being able to see where they're going?

Because they’re not the one that’s going to get hurt.

But seriously, there’s some psychological thing going on with big cars. Like I drive a tiny car by American standards, and honestly don’t feel confident driving a big car, but I get it. You get to be higher up, which feels like you can see easily (even if objectively not true). It feels safer to drive a tank when every other car is huge (this is probably true). They have more storage, more space, which feels more comfortable. There’s probably nothing more damning than the incentive you have to be the biggest car on the road in case an accident happens.

Of course intellectually it’s obvious that big cars make roads dangerous overall, they’re bad for the environment, they’re more expensive, they require a bigger garage, etc, but it’s hard to get past feelings and bad incentives.
I am talking about that. Not the server side or server to wasm one.

Maybe I use the term hybrid wrong, I am talking about the fat client hosting blazor/web view one. Basically electron shell just without js
I wonder how the societal costs of tobacco, alcohol, and gambling compare to those of "hard" drugs in this regard.
Well. A lot of people could benefit from a cardiovascular protective dose of aspirin. Like everything, it has side effects.

Now whether that actually does anything to cancer risk or if it's too low... Needs further research.
This is some really impressive stuff, I’m surprised how seamlessly the Compute Skinning demo falls back to the webGL renderer on my iPhone SE. like that blew me away, can’t wait to see how something like this performs once Apples releases webGPU support on iOS. Imagine the new level of web games we’ll see even on mobile
I still have the old 2.30 book signed by Ton from the original fundraiser, so glad it all worked out great.

May be it's time to finally let go of 2.7 keymap and learn the new one :-\
When you literally don't have $20 in your account. Then you can spend 100 hours and it's still worth it.
"Defensive walking" courses seem to be the next thing we'll start needing.
It's open source with a noncommercial use license.
There needs to be more articles like this, far too often the answers on SO and the like is canned and dissimissive; "you don't need to optimize because who cares youre writing a crud app anyway".
> the forward pass in a deep learning model is almost certainly way faster than simulating the next step in a numerical simulation

Is this the case in most of such refinements (architecture wise)?
No, it's just the natural consequence of an economic and medical system that is completely incapable of dealing with drugs.
At an extraordinary cost. Huge numbers of people imprisoned, violence related to the drug trade.

The real question is if the costs are worse than the problem. We gave up on alcohol prohibition because it was clear it was a net negative.
Actually it is arguably higher level of complexity, because while intent is not normally an element for right of publicity, it has been looked to along with effect to disambiguate which cases that aren’t simple image or voice likenesses (such as voice impersonations) are nevertheless covered.

But it is neither novel nor unique to AI.
oddly enough a most people don't want to spend their entire lives addicted to opioids. When given access to things like a stable supply and clean places to satisfy their addiction, many are able to hold down jobs, take steps to get clean and become productive members of society.

There are plenty of people who really do want to spend their entire lives addicted to opioids. LA's homeless "crisis" is proof of that; there are literally thousands of shelter beds that go unused each night because almost all of LA's homeless shelters are sober facilities which do not allow alcohol, drugs, or related contraband, and the addicts would rather be on the streets using drugs than have shelter, food, and stability.
Even more confusingly, if it is past participle usage, it's "stricken"

e.g. "Strike it off", "I struck it off", "It was stricken off"

same with drive/drove/driven

One of those fun things for ESL folks I am sure.
Honda has been pioneering lower front-end vehicles for years now. It's up to auto manufacturers to agree upon common bumper to bumper height so vehicles can sustain collisions.

Beside the overall looks, safety-wise, when I look at Cybertrucks, I cringe because they've abandoned the pedestrian knee height rule.
