That only works if you assume that it is possible to build quickly enough to satisfy both demands. But if you can't, then you'll just satisfy one and not the other. NYC made this calculus and prefers people to have homes over short-term stays.

Show HN: Quack Companion – VSCode extension for OSS contribution assistance
Hello there, I'm FG (short for François-Guillaume)! I’m building Quack Companion (https://github.com/quack-ai/companion), a tool designed to bridge the gap between project maintainers and contributors in open-source software (OSS).

If you've ever contributed to OSS, you're familiar with the challenge: diving into a new codebase, aligning with maintainers' expectations, and making meaningful contributions can be daunting. For maintainers, managing a flood of contributions and providing guidance while maintaining quality is overwhelming. As a contributor to PyTorch & an OSS author, I’ve been on both sides over the years. This challenged me to become a better engineer & team player, seeking ways to facilitate smooth collaborative software development.

This is where Quack steps in, as your AI companion for software team alignment. For developers, it's like having a seasoned mentor guiding you through the intricacies of a new codebase, offering live in-line hints based on the project’s guidelines to craft high-quality pull requests. For maintainers, it’s a practical toolset to identify and address workflow inefficiencies and align contributions effectively with project objectives.

As code generation gets commoditized, aligning these diverse efforts becomes critical if you wish to convert individual productivity boosts into team velocity. Quack AI is here to solve this alignment, and make collaborative software development scale without losing any efficiency.

We're committed to keeping the service accessible and free for OSS communities while we plan to generate revenue from the enterprise suite. The platform (React, Next JS), the IDE extension (VSCode) and the backend API (Python, FastAPI) are licensed under Apache 2.0. You can find a short demo here [1] and the GitHub project here [2].

Our roadmap includes:

* offering autocompletion and code chat in the IDE, making the contribution process even more intuitive and seamless;

* finalizing the transition of the community version to hostable OSS models;

* identifying ambiguities or unspecified aspects of a given project’s guidelines;

* developing a Fitbit-like feature for your software development productivity to identify bottlenecks in your workflow.

This is still the early days, but we've seen how sharing a "public design doc" with the community can significantly improve the outcome! How was your experience of managing inbound as maintainers? What were your personal hacks to mitigate those challenges? We'd love to hear about how it has impacted your developer life or if you have any feedback about the above.

Cheers!

At least they are not charging a license fee for the connector.
Supposing anyone wants to hear, the single most important feature to me is self-hosting sync. Nothing else matters... not a big believer in "the cloud". It would be better if the sync use WebDAV, then the server software is just Nextcloud. But even that last point's not so important.
Yes and no. Tesla already has the #1 selling car (Model Y) and makes up more than half of EVs sold in the US. Eventually other networks were going to catch up. Now the other half will pay them too but they own the network. Long term it was the right choice.
Markdown itself is more technical than, say, a WYSIWYG editor. People are more used to using MS Word and Google Docs. Obsidian prioritizes a different kind of note taking and, hence, you'll find a lot of tech-savvy users among its community. There's a reason for that.

Why would this be true for EVs when it's clearly not true for ICE vehicles?
Tesla already charges more to charge a non-tesla.
> People like their car to look new/different

That's true in my experience. Though it is interesting that cars look more and more similar over time rather than different.
Whoa, so cool!!
You know what would be even cooler? if you could have it play any game described by the Game Description Language [1]. it looks like the project is most of the way there, since the environment methods looks like calls to data that would be included in a GDL description.

No inflation metric is going to be perfect here, but CPI seems not unreasonable to me: disaster cost factor includes rebuilding costs, i.e. materials and labor pricing, not speculative real estate value.

In other words: the "real" cost is probably somewhere between the CPI-adjusted figure and the inflation-adjusted real estate speculative gains. But either way, the trendline is the same.
its unofficial, so you have to deal with developing a platform.

there is a brief mention of hardware being modified by apple as part of the system link software scheme.

the whole idea of this was to escape walled garden, and use mack architecture applications, but not spend $ like official mack systems.

you need to understand, what OS you want to run, and build hardware that will allow a jailbreak, and run the OS.

im sure there is a cutoff version where this becomes impractical.
“There was inflation and interest in moving to sea level climates! News at 10”
You're talking more about a legal cross-examination. Or a police "interview." They don't want to waste time; in fact, they can't. That's definitely a useful service.

Almost all the other people we're talking about here are "entertainment." You can say "that's not an interview" but I don't think you get much traction with that argument. Perhaps "interrogation" is the term you want.

They exist for the same reason several git GUIs and Kubernetes dashboards exist.
I believe that there two factors that people don't talk about much:

- Software engineering wasn't much of a prestige profession (I suspect still isn't), and most bright STEM students ended up studying other forms of engineering

- A general lack of interest in hacking and tinkering

People make some wild claims, such as kanji or East Asian culture, but there is plenty of quality Chinese and Korean software.
Skateboard makes even less sense for EVs than for ICEs. in an ICE you have a large engine and various axels that have to be in specific places. With an EV you have more room to move the motors around where they makes sense. While you need a lot of batteries, each cell is small, so you want to put things like seats in the car first and then add cells anywhere there is extra room.
> What, then, caused the 40:1 inflation?

Lots of things, government deficit spending being only one of them. What % of causality can be assigned to deficit spending vs. other causes is something I will leave to the experts.

> My father

Knowledge of finance and history is great, but it's not a substitute for actually being an economist.

As for the "degree in economics", lots of people out there have an undergrad economics degree, including me. That doesn't make me an economist any more than my other undergrad degree (math) makes me a mathematician.

One thing that I'm sure you already know about history is that causality is not a constant thing over time. Something can cause inflation in the 1990s, and a completely different process can cause inflation in the 2020s.

I think we all agree that government deficit spending can cause inflation, and is one possible cause to be investigated among others. Is it the sole cause of all inflation in the last 40 years? Is that causality even possible to determine from the data? I suggest that nobody can be both intellectually honest and confident in answering those questions.

Unless you're willing to stake your own expertise against Joseph Stiglitz and Robert Reich, then I respectfully suggest you should back off from your confidence in what you personally believe is happening in the economy.

And yes, I would say the same to Stiglitz if he had a habit of complaining about the D compiler design in economics forums.

Who said they don't matter?

The argument here is that they are not strictly related to quality.

Are you gonna tell me the PT Cruiser, random example, was a quality vehicle because of its astronomical sales for years?

Not understanding why is popularity used as an argument for good sales. It's not. Tesla cars being well made (or not) is not a reason why they sell.

That's dominated by the scarcity value of the land, not the value of the labor required to repair or replace the building on it. The "inflation" we should worry about here is contractor salaries and the cost of building materials. CPI seems fair to me.
Tesla did not actually provide real specs to use their plug or interoperate with their vehicles and chargers until Nov 2022.

The CEO made statements about anyone being able to use it, but that's not the same as actually offering it up as a standard in a way that others can use it.

It was officially published as an SAE standard this week (SAE J3400).

If you find yourself explicitly testing a third-party library, you are most definitely not writing an integration test by any common definition (maybe you randomly created your own?). Third-party libraries are not exposed at the integration points.

If they were, what are you writing software for? The work would already done by that third-party, leaving your efforts to be entirely pointless!

You may incidentally test a third-party library when you test your integrations, but that's something else entirely, as has already been discussed.

It is two different language models. The embedding model tries to capture too many irrelevant aspects of the prompt that ends up putting it close to seemingly random documents. Inverting the question into the LLM’s blind guess and distilling it down to keywords causes the embedding to be very sparse and specific. A popular strategy has been to invert the documents into questions during initial embedding, but I think that is a performance hack that still suffers from sentence prompts being bad vector indexes.
The problem with this project is that it doesn't solve the valuable problem, which is ranking/relevance.

It's effectively just a very simple "indexer", if you can even really call it that because it's only chunking audio for semantic search rather than actually indexing it.

Search engines are hard because of ranking and scale. This project does not solve either of those problems.

Personally if I was going to build this I would exclusively focus on the data side and use a pre-built traditional search engine like meilisearch, typesense, elasticsearch, etc to handle the indexing and search side. Adding semantic search into the mix upfront makes your life so much harder.
For someone with "hyper empathy" - that's a pretty mean comment.
I see that many have noted that this is not inflation adjusted, which would be a good start.

But more importantly, this needs to be as a percentage of the total infrastructure (or real estate to make it easier to compute) in the area.

IIUC as a percentage of total real estate value the amount of damage has been going down over time, as one would expect.
One observation about cars that wasn’t mentioned in the article: modern cars don’t seem particularly well adapted to people with non-average upper body height. There are plenty of cars where even slightly tall people don’t comfortably fit in the back seat (cough, Prius), but I can’t think of many recent cars at all where short people (e.g. kids) are well accommodated by the seatbelt. Putting a three year old in a modern car without some form of car seat or belt position device seems rather absurd, especially on a longer drive. (Ignore their risk of death — they are likely to have the seatbelt right over their nose, which is uncomfortable to say the least.)

In contrast, I distinctly remember the cars I rode in a a kid having adjustable shoulder belt positions, especially in the front seat.

So maybe regulators should nudge cars makers toward making cars that small people actually fit in without adding extra gadgets? It’s not rocket science, and there are multiple designs that work.
There are probably two main answers to that.

- People generally like their vehicles to look different but not too different. Design of everything is a fashion industry.

- Fuel efficiency, practicality, and safety requirements all lead to a certain level of convergence.
Screen tearing is the big pain of X11 in my experience. Most things work fine, but watching videos or playing games is a terrible experience when dealing with constant screen tears.

I feel like it's relatively non-controversial to suggest "truest" would be something like what Uranus would look like out the window of your orbiting space craft.

It's how we generally see pictures of Earth, e.g. from the point of view of a space walk from the ISS.

If I look out the window of my spaceship and Uranus doesn't look like this photo, the post processing done here doesn't match with "reality" too well.

These “externalities” are starting to add up. I love that term. Such a quaint word invented by such clueless people to sweep under the rug such massive problems for so long. Not that it matters. The language may change but i doubt the macro behaviors do of citizens in advanced countries will. Look at meat consumption just as one example. I am amazed how often ive been cornered in my life by some person hand wringing over the climate who themselves eats meat, buys new and stylish clothing monthly, and doesnt catch a whiff of the irony.

Obviously you only collect items that are worth collecting - pristine, rare, desirable. Then the question is if the item will hold value. Rare physical videogames I think can go up in value longterm, because new generations of players will enjoy the games via emulation. They are also easy to vault, can be displayed as conversation pieces, and often have stories behind them that provide a historical background that helps when pitching it at auction. Overall while this is a relatively new asset class, I think it has staying power.

Yeah some of it wasn't in the game:

in dealing with any alien life form, for the purposes of trade, there are three cardinal rules:

- Learn the body language of the alien race

- Cover up your body scent

- Beware of Carapace concealed weapons

But there were some hints about obscure functionality - It is rumoured that the Galactic Navy are designing their own remote-controlled fighter, and will pay well for Thargoid ones to study - this could be done in the game. Also there were some hints about the possibility of capturing enemy escape capsules and then selling them as slaves.

> This gives Tesla a massive revenue stream and scale to grow that network even bigger.

Tesla's supercharger network is a loss leader whose purpose is to sell their cars [1], whose margins are also under pressure.

There's no significant barrier to entry for EV supercharging other than perhaps having a profitable business to pair it with. The NACS connector and the exclusivity of its charging stations was a moat, one that Tesla traded for tax credits.

It's mostly a real estate game. Shell is already adding EV chargers at key stations. Others will follow.
