Show HN: Auto Wiki v2 – Turn your codebase into a Wiki now with diagrams
Hi HN!

I'm Omar from Mutable.ai. We previously (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38915999) introduced Auto Wiki (http://wiki.mutable.ai/)), which transforms your codebase into Wiki-style articles with citations to your code. Now, it features code diagrams and the ability to use AI to revise your wiki. It’s our favorite way to learn about new codebases and maintain up-to-date documentation. Getting started is easy: simply visit wiki.mutable.ai, enter the name of your repo, and let our AI take care of the rest. Our new basic tier costs just $2/repo/month, and for a limited time, you can use the coupon code HACKERNEWS to generate them for $1/mo. We also offer free wikis for open source repos if the contributor partners with us, you can inquire about this by emailing info@mutable.ai, some conditions apply.

We made a number of improvements with your feedback in mind, including:

- Code diagrams, generated in Mermaid
- Filter and search for your wiki
- AI revision with instruction
- Manual edits to revise wikis
- Better underlying model
- Private repo support that follows the permissions of the repo
- Wiki is updated automatically every month and with each commit with our upcoming PR bot

Please note, you will only be able to edit a wiki if you’re a contributor or sponsor of the repo.

Thank you!

PS Here are some example v2 wikis:

Is this a principle you apply universally? For example, do you oppose U.S. companies providing technical support for Ukraine's justified war aims, such as Starlink?

I've seen no indication that simply protesting is seen as "not ok". But trespassing on private property, or worse blocking bridges, goes quite beyond "protest" and freedom of speech.

> Just being in a hospital bed for one night without anything being done costs $3000/night

No, it doesn't. It costs whatever you can negotiate it to cost. I've been without insurance; one experience isn't data, but in my experience just telling the hospital you haven't got insurance is, again, good for 90+% off by itself.

Hospitals (ed: non-profit ones, but I'm pretty sure similar rules apply elsewhere) in particular are required by federal law to have 'well-publicized' financial assistance policies.

> Its literally a machine that kills people to maximize profit.

If that were true it would do a good job of maximizing profit. It's not even that good. Healthcare margins in the U.S. are 0.7%, which sucks. If you're the proverbial evil billionaire or whatever you'd rather own almost anything else.

The whole reason I started this thread is because it bugs me when we attribute to malice what is obviously stupidity.
Trepanning Ritual? WTF are you even talking about?

According to Wikipedia, "Trepanning: In ancient times, holes were drilled into a person who was behaving in what was considered an abnormal way to let out what people believed were evil spirits.[3] Evidence of trepanation has been found in prehistoric human remains from Neolithic times onward."

Did you attend an AA meeting where they drilled holes in someone's head? I have never heard of that before but there is the whole group-autonomy thing.
It looks like CGI to me, the way to camera moves together with the depth of field and that things appear too shiny. They don't state anything about it so I don't know what to believe.
> You have to fiddle around with ports and servers and environment variables.
The question is whether I know it despite not being a front-end developer, or because of not being a front-end developer.

(Around 8–10 years ago I worked on keyboard input for ChromeOS, and way too much of it was trying to emulate 1995 Windows Netscape so that most sites would mostly work.)
I say 2021, but truth is the supply chain was so trash that year that it took almost a year to actually get delivered. I don't think I actually started using the thing until 2022.
Plus, you get a whole bunch of functionality for free when you just use the OS or browser's standard controls, buttons, and forms. When you "roll your own" they are almost always less functional versions of the standard ones, so you also have to "roll your own" functionality to catch up to what the OS already provides.

I will never understand software engineers who feel they need to build their own custom controls, or who won't push back when their "designers" insist on it. You could be doing so much with your life, but here you are re-implementing scrolling again.
> Humane made the fatal PR mistake of trying to convince the world they had a revolutionary product that would change everything

Segway walked so Humane could run.

As a college student I remember the lead up to the Segway reveal on Good Morning America. I was so excited for it that I set my alarm for 6AM to watch it. I remember being so confused and annoyed. Fool me once...

The nitroplast: A nitrogen-fixing organelle
I'd be interested in if there was a gene that significantly reduced covid infection likelihood - but somehow didn't affect much else, like other viral infection rates.

That would almost be a natural sort of experiment, to compare the IQ of these and other population.

Though, you would have to have enough people in this group, not be too rare. And it would help if there was already a large population that was IQ measured prior to Covid, and could be re-measured.

It seems unlikely that such a scenario exists.
1993 AT&T ad predicts the future well
> I am convinced the NSA is sitting on an ample collection of useful 0-days, 0 click vulnerabilities and they can access Windows/Linux/MacOS/iOS/Android/Chrome/Edge/Firefox Dropbox,OneDrive,Box,S3, etc etc at their leisure. but they cannot use a lot of what they find since it would raise questions.

This seems extremely uncontroversial to me.

Tucker Carlson released an interview yesterday with Telegram's founder, Pavel Durov. The part that I found most interesting was that Durov claims US intelligence tried to secretly work with Telegram engineers to understand, among other things, which open source libraries Telegram uses – I assume because they have back doors into a lot of the popular ones.
Show HN: Scrabble Word Checker
I developed a Scrabble word checker that does nothing else other than check the word you entered and show you the base score if it's valid.

I created this because I was frustrated with alternatives that have a bloated UI and provide word suggestions.

Sure, in the same way SaaS companies are just thin wrappers on top of databases and the open web.
I wondered if that might be the case, but they're writing in English which use a comma as a thousands separator; in which case, they definitely have the decimal point in the wrong place, even if it's down to a grammatical error.

Would it change anything if Hacker News was redesigned to look exactly like Reddit's UI? Because a lot of people would not want that. Behind the scenes, there are a lot of similarities between the two sites - but doesn't the fact that they look so different actually make them different?

If you're saying design doesn't matter at all then changing the look of Hacker News to be like Reddit should have no effect on user satisfaction, signups, or usage.

I sense a bias toward minimalism (that I share) but that's still intentional design.
It's called civil disobedience, and you opt into the inconvenience when your government acts truly in a truly odious manner to the sensibilities of the governed.
From a purely policy stand-point, the question we should be asking is "does forgiving some subset of loans result in a net-positive for society?" If the answer is "Yes" then we should be forgiving that subset of loans.

For example, we have the PSLF for borrowers who work in service careers. Maybe we don't need blanket loan forgives, but should simplify and beef-up PSLF.

And in parallel, we should be reforming the funding system for college so we don't have to keep addressing this problem.
The future T series will move much better, you won’t have a reason to be scared about.
No. There’s a term for what you’re describing. It’s called, “liberal democracy.”

The whole “We’re a republic not a democracy,” lie isn’t about that at all. It dates to only WWII. Specifically, it was coined by America First’s Boake Carter as quip in response to Roosevelt’s talk about “the defense of democracies” and “the arsenal of democracy” while arguing that it was perfectly fine for the nazis to run wild in Europe. This phrase continued on with John Birch Society, where it morphed into its sophomoric partisan quip and excuse for unpopular minority rule it is today.

When anyone utters this phrase today, it’s a tell that they literally have no idea what any of the words they say actually mean.

It is a type of ensemble model. A regular network could do it, but a MoE will select a subset to do the task faster than the whole model would.

When is it "shilling" vs making me aware of something I may actually be interested in?

(I didn't even read the article)
You're making my point for me. You read one sentence she said, and made a determination about the entire context of the argument, which , pointing this out, was the purpose of my original post. The relevant part is the entire oral argument.

Respondents council is in making an argument that suggests the government can NEVER have a compelling interest to suppress speech, which no one on the Supreme Court would agree with, and is what she is asking him to elaborate on. He clarifies this in his response from 115-119 that the government will always have compelling state interests arguments narrowly taylored to specific circumstances "on the back end".
> No, nothing will change my mind that forwarding nude pictures of minors to literally anyone other than a law enforcement case handler is acceptable.

Who made the case it was acceptable?
I will ask him! It would be great to have the original Mac versions. There are some other weird versions like 3DO and Sega Saturn, but I'm afraid they may be lost in the sands to time. I'm collaborating with some game archivists (like Phil Salvador, who wrote the article about SimRefinery that led to its recovery, and his Video Game History Foundation), and Olde Sküül game developers Rebecca Heineman, who can help preserve the original sources, and even recover the original tools and SDKs and get them to build, so people can study and build and renovate the original sources.

The Commission acts almost exclusively on mandates extended by the EU Council (i.e. national states), which also nominates commissioners. EU Council effectively tells the Commission "Something should be done about X; write a directive to achieve Z, K, and J". Then the Commission sits down with MEPs and national ministers to bang something into shape. It very rarely comes up with original policy suggestions, and when it happens it tends to be big news - like with the daylight savings stuff, which eventually wasn't carried through because the EU Council (i.e. governments) wasn't particularly interested.

Political initiative and agenda-setting, in the EU, are firmly in the hands of national governments - they just hide behind "Bruxelles bureaucrats" as a shield.

There is some good documentation around mergekit available that actually explains a lot and might be a good place to start.
> The key idea here is to propose a task you know to be extremely difficult but possible and then measure the candidate’s reaction. If they are defeatist (“That can’t be done!“) or deluded (“I’d code that in a weekend“), then that’s what you’d be hiring.

Oh man, I'm saving this because this has been my experience working with folks on the business side who seem to always optimize for the second group (the deluded gives a low quote, then the project drags on forever, spiraling out of control because they didn't think through the difficulty).
Don't browsers block auto video by default?
> The top comment we're discussing is a good example of comments I really dislike :/

As a revealed preference, no, you don't. It's trivially easy to collapse a comment you genuinely don't like, which would mean you wouldn't be posting in its replies more than halfway down.
Don’t need to add a key, if you have access to the network interface on a laptop or server you are effectively that entity. ACLs are just one level of defense, and iirc you can force re-auth on SSH connections but it certainly becomes a single point of compromise.
For a file-based HTTP server's weak ETags I've used a concatenation of st_dev, st_ino, and inode generation number. For strong ETags I've used a SHA-512 hash.

In combination with If-Match: and If-None-Match: this is very powerful.
It's such obvious horror bait there will be something good up by tomorrow.
Wait, that's just a dropdown with an input field placed next to it that becomes visible when you pick "other" in the dropdown menu.

I hate when people try to do the dropdown and the "write your own" in one field. It's very confusing how to use those.
Inertial navigation complemented with occasional GPS fixes.
This is an assumption that a reasonable person naively comes up with.

Then if you actually go ahead and check, it turns out it's not true! It's quite a shocking revelation.

When you dig into the popular compilers/runtimes (with the exception of things like LLVM)

Many of them still have low hanging fruit of the form:

a = b + c - b

Yes, the above is still not fully optimized in the official implementations of some popular programming languages.

Also an optimization of "removing redundant function calls" isn't a binary on/off switch. You can do it better or worse. Sometimes you can remove them, sometimes not. If you improve your analysis, you can do more of that and improve performance. Same for DSE, CSE, etc...
Not mad, disappointed. It just seems embarrassing for them that they're struggling so hard to live up to their value of being "listener supported" that they have to accept sponsors like this to survive.
I guess it does depend on what you consider evaluation-time to be e.g. “Haskell is a dynamically-typed, interpreted language.”[1]

I'm imagining a drop down with all values between 000000 and 999999. And they somehow override the ability to just type into it to jump to the right value, you need to find it. And the list is unordered and randomized every page load.

Maybe you're thinking about Scala? What I see is that Java is conservatively incorporating the established, proven good parts of other languages. The changes have been great - if perhaps a bit late, but that's by design.
These are bold claims that smell like dog whistles but I’m unfamiliar with any specifics. Got sources or what?
this was wonderfully insightful, and ties into a lot of the best advice i've heard but never understood. If you've got excited users from a demo, isn't that all you need? Nope!
Today's graphics capabilities and therefore game physics capabilities are really wild but also there are trade-offs with 3D gaming and little nuances of the physics can creep into gameplay and cause issues. Having a character get stuck on a small step or rock or whatever leftover physics model can be really frustrating. That mostly didn't exist in old school 2D games, from what I recall.

The mechanics were much simpler but also didn't have massive room for errors/odd conditions to manifest like modern games.
> I really wish that browsers gave control back to the users

Exactly this. Browsers have stopped doing their job as the "User's Agent" and instead are acting more in the interest of web developers. Consequently, developers now see the browser window as a limitless empty canvas that they can just do whatever they want in, regardless of the user's desires.
Coherent was my first PC Unix-clone, before moving to Linux. It was incredible for the time. The documentation was bar none... I still remember the 500+ page book with the shell on it. (Coherent ad here: https://computeradsfromthepast.substack.com/p/mark-williams-... ... not my blog.)

Same. I re-read it at least four times. I kept seeing "How many bathrooms in the Netherlands have tile?"
So 500 cycles on the injection moulding machine and 42 across the 4 3D printers. Yes, this is super impressive; yes, if I wanted <1,000 of something I am probably going 3D printer (cheaper, more flexible, less lead time) but it is still 50 times slower.
I heard MoE reduces inference costs. Is that true? Don't all the sub networks need to be kept in RAM the whole time? Or is the idea that it only needs to run compute on a small part of the total network, so it runs faster? (So you complete more requests per minute on same hardware.)

Edit: Apparently each part of the network is on a separate device. Fascinating! That would also explain why the routing network is trained to choose equally between experts.

I imagine that may reduce quality somewhat though? By forcing it to distribute problems equally across all of them, whereas in reality you'd expect task type to conform to the pareto distribution.
NSA hold basic patents in the field from the 70s on.

They've also been hot for floating point vector machines in a big way since then.
I think how people relate to media and attitudes about out-groups can have an even deeper impact on a life. We all can witness people being shot in non-fiction on police bodycam footage, surveillance camera footage, published on video websites, etc.

Most people compartmentalize seeing shooting of a house and killing a child sleeping in their bed in Ukraine in 2024 different from a drive-by shooting on their own street or road rage on a highway killing a child sleeping in bed or car. But we can witness it easily now and most people are taught to detach non-fiction video of "others" and treat it like it is fiction.

It becomes a wealth and power status symbol to move to the "good part of town" and a "safe neighborhood" and create a compartmentalized mindset that what goes on in other areas is "not witnessed" the same. A detachment of compassion for those in the out-groups and a denial that indeed it is reality, it is non-fiction.
Here's my naive intuition: in general bigger models can store more knowledge but take longer to do inference. MoE provides a way to blend the advantages of having a bigger model (more storage) with the advantages of having smaller models at inference time (faster, less memory required). When you do inference, tokens hit a small layer that is load balancing the experts then activate 1 or 2 experts. So you're storing roughly 8 x 22B "worth" of knowledge without having to run a model that big.

Maybe a real expert can confirm if this is correct :)
80GB in 4bit.

But because it only activates one expert at a time, it can run on a fast CPU in reasonable time. So 96GB of DDR4 will do. 96GB of DDR5 is better.

<"teaching is grooming" is such a weird thing. >
Since grooming has become politicized, the hypocrisy is monumental and finally exposed. So called puritanism is the wrong direction, because as you pointed out, teens will do stupid things.

What about the toxic masculinity culture taught by the right and the church? The right says, "keep these women under control." The church says,"women MUST obey their husbands no matter what." If that's not grooming, I don't know what is.

We home schooled our children. We made sure our kids knew what could happen in life because we are all flawed and sometimes make decisions that could be life altering in unintended ways. We knew that we couldn't educate them enough about the variables of life, but we tried.
Not really, no.

GPUs are still very limited, even compared to the SIMD instruction set. You couldn't make a CUDAjson the same way the SIMDjson library is built for example, because it doesnt handle SIMD branching in a way that accomodates it.

Second, again, the latency issue. GPUs are only good if you have a pipeline of data to constantly feed it, so that the PCIe transfer latency issue is minimal.
What's the best way to run this on my Macbook Pro?

I've tried LMStudio, but I'm not a fan of the interface compared to OpenAI's. The lack of automatic regeneration every time I edit my input, like on ChatGPT, is quite frustrating. I also gave Ollama a shot, but using the CLI is less convenient.

Ideally, I'd like something that allows me to edit my settings quite granularly, similar to what I can do in OpenLM, with the QoL from the hosted online platforms, particularly the ease of editing my prompts that I use extensively.
