Ask HN: Current best open-source or commercial automated LLM coding agent?
There are obviously tons of AI powered editors and IDEs out there at this point: VSCode with GitHub Copilot (or SuperMaven); Cursor; Void; Pear. I personally find it better to just directly use the web apps for ChatGPT and Claude and use regular VSCode.

But I notice that I constantly find myself in a loop where I generate code (either a whole code file or just a section of code), paste it in, and then immediately see bugs/errors/warnings from the linter (Ruff for python, eslint for typescript, etc.) in VScode and copy all the "messages" about these issues from VScode and paste them into the LLM web app as a follow up message.

Or, I might paste the output of `bun run build` or `cargo build` or whatever if the warnings don't show up in the editor. Very often these are type errors in Typescript (if I haven't been careful enough specifying exact types), or they get the API/syntax wrong for an npm/pip library (at this point, the flagship commercial LLMs seem to be pretty good at getting the standard library code mostly right in popular languages like Python/Typescript).

That is, I personally am the one "closing the loop" between the LLM and the compiler/interpreter. And of course, that's not enough by itself to fix all bugs or to ensure that your code works, because you need to really run things end-to-end with real data and look at the outputs to see that they make sense; but you can certainly catch a huge number of problems like that.

I know that a few months ago there was a lot of buzz about the demo of Devin AI, which was more of an agent that closed the loop between code generation inference and checking if the code works (or at least compiles or doesn't trigger the linter), and then can iteratively refine/fix the code until it does work, and commit the changes to your git repo when it's working with a meaningful commit message.

And I know there are at least a few open source versions of something similar, such as https://aider.chat/

I guess my question is, are any of these good enough now to use seriously in day to day work? Do they actually save time? The examples I see on the Aider website for example don't seem that appealing, because I would rather just directly use the webapp from ChatGPT or Claude directly when starting a project from scratch.

Where these projects would be most helpful to me is when I have the basic structure of the project already set up, but there are a bunch of issues and problems and I don't want to have to sit there mechanically going through all the code files and iteratively fixing them myself in a manual process. Is anyone here using a project like that in the manner I described? Is it helpful to you? If so, can you describe your workflow?
Have you been paying attention?

SCOTUS has been ignoring or re-interpreting precident when convinent for advancing conservative agenda items. If it advances the cause, the lawsuits will go the way they prefer, not with any consistency for established precident.
All non-stick pans deterriorate over time and become stick pans. In case, for example, of Creuset it takes about 2 years of daily use. With Tefal it's less.

Whether non-stick coating peels off when cooking or when washing is an open question, but chances of it being just the latter are slim to none.

A better option is copper-inlayed steel pans, something like Falk. They aren't hard to master and they last for decades and have superior heat distribution profile.
Ideally, I would love many places writing to the Iceberg catalogue and then using it as a data lake.

In the data lake, I would have a gateway provisioning DuckDB on demand for each user.
Sure, but the FBI and DOJ still have the authority (and mandate) to detect and prevent election fraud, and certainly to the scale that was alleged.

Deciding between the effort required for a political opponent to run a massive multi-state voter fraud conspiracy under your nose and the effort required for an over-the-top personality to make a wild accusation that was never proven in court, I think we can consult Occam’s Razor.
I live on the US gulf coast and am regularly in small, rural areas regularly. Don't underestimate the life experience of some folks!
Yeah, while it's sort of far afield from FCC regulation discussion, the previous Trump administration pushed "norm breaking" about as far as it can conceivably be pushed without actually destroying the system. And he "got away with it". There will be no hesitation this time around. The question is only in what direction the whims and attention will turn, not what can be done to constrain it.
just installed this and tried it out. How cool. So easy to deploy.
Well fortunately for pandemic response, I’m sure that the CDC will be sure to prevent it from spreading and encourage vaccinations. What could possibly go wrong?
Section 230 is an indemnification. Removing it is removing a regulation. Section 230 not permission for the FCC to go after the web, it prevents the web from being shielded.
Purely statistically, sure. But you haven't included sample bias -- they did a small sample of farm workers. So at best you have a point estimate with a wide confidence interval that tells you (maybe) what rate of undiscovered infection you might expect to see if you sampled lots of farm workers.

> "Cases are obviously symptomatic and will seek healthcare" is a very different beast from "Some people are shedding virus but are pretty sure they can power through".

Thankfully, the article tells you that human-to-human transmission isn't a concern, so there's no need to speculate.
> or ~13-14% of federal spending

it's actually 50% percentage of "discretionary spending" (meaning the spending that the government gets to decide how to allocate with without changing social security laws, so essentially the "federal budget"
And people who make $200K and $1M/yr are both paying a higher rate than actual poor people.

Unless you're arguing that someone making $200K/yr is in the category of "poor" in which case it would pay to be explicit, because that's not going to be the most natural interpretation for most people.

You seem to be under the impression that this generation of courts holds itself to a set of principles, rather than just motivated reasoning to do whatever they want. There will be no consistency. The Chevron decision will matter when they want it to and it won't when they don't.
The thing that I still haven't grasped—and this isn't snark, I truly haven't wrapped my head around it—is why people think "things cost more" (1) is the direct result of government rather than a coordinated effort from retailers raising prices, and (2) why the GOP is the party to fix this when they're the ones historically opposed to both business regulation and minimum wage increases.
The algorithm is pretty simple: show random videos, select categories that invoke the most reaction, show more random videos from those categories and so on. That's why the algorithm often converges to a local maximum and keeps showing disturbing shit on one topic.
> The first RepRaps did not "use a full-power PC as their host machine"; they were controlled by AVRs, just like Arduino

It's possible that they were referring to the RepRap Host Software, which was RepRap's original slicer.

I don’t doubt this but it’s worth noting that I believe spacex uses Linux as their RTOS.

Firecracker boots up a runtime that has a full blown operating system in it - lambda just happens to call a known program with a known function. In that sense sure it provides similar functionality but it's really quite different. That's not what fly uses firecracker for, for instance.

Qemu/firecracker are in the same space - this is different.

These are most definitely in a different boat as you embed the guest functions inside the host program and then you register those functions. Taken from the readme:

> The host can call functions implemented and exposed by the guest (known as guest functions).

> Once running, the guest can call functions implemented and exposed by the host (known as host functions).

This is more in the 'safe plugin' type of space. As with most things in this space - the best way to learn about them is to simply try it out.
It couldn't write a simple test for my typescript node system. Kept telling me credits left, login. I don't know who gets success from these tools and what they are building but none of them actually work for me. Yesterday there was Aide which I tried and found to be broken and so is this one.
Or change the goal to the securing consistent control and power.
I disagree. Online mainstream media seems to be operating like a polarizing algorithm, focusing on maximizing the engagement. And more traditional media is following that as well, since this is now the mainstream.
Yes. Now define "misinformation." (Good luck.) And how do you feel about the government getting to decide what that definition is?
I assume the last time you used python was during the transition from 2 to 3?

Amazing, glad it worked well for you! I main VSCode but tried Zed in my demo video and loved the smoothness of it.

Totally understand where you're coming from, I personally use it in a terminal tab (amongst many) in any IDE I'm using. But I've been surprised to see how different many developers' workflows are from one another. Some people use it in a dedicated terminal window, others have a vim-based setup, etc.
I respectfully disagree... They already exercise some censorship that is mostly biased towards the interests of the company (e.g. instances of war crimes being censored on Meta platforms).

Holding them accountable would make them beholden to the truth (and, partially to us)... Not to whomever they sell our private data to.

I think this is crucial distinction which may help reduce politization.

If they overreach, which most parties do when given the opportunity, there are elections in 2 years and then 4 where they can be reprimanded and power can be reallocated. If it’s truly bad policy it can be changed.
Until suits are settled, it's uncommon for courts to intervene on an undecided issue in government control. This is immediately obvious. Anyone being able to subvert the power of an appointment or elected position by filing a court case, would lead to increased and rampant dysfunction. The official FCC chair's statements have a chilling effect, on their own.
At some point people were laughing at me because I'm using Yahoo as my main email address, but honestly, I'd rather have two "super important" accounts (Yahoo mail and Android gmail) rather than just one that gets me banned from everything in case AI decides it wants to fuck up my day.

I'm wondering what can I realistically do to protect myself from Yahoo screwing me over. Not gonna lie, setting up my own email domain sounds like a chore. Entry number 9274 on the list of things that will just take one evening and marginally improve my life.
If I had precise control over what feeds I see, I'd agree with you.

But they insert ads and content I've never subscribed to, with no way to prevent either. They also selectively suppress content that I have subscribed to. That doesn't sound like a neutral conveyance of information. In fact, it sounds like they're already exercising the power you'd prefer they not have, according to private algorithms and policies that offer none of transparency or accountability that comes with public regulation.

Whatever you'd prefer, it's already disappearing from the rear view mirror. Facebook 2024 is not Facebook 2008, nor are any of its peers.
I got an awesome rice cooker (Zojirushi NeuroFuzzy) for around $200, and started buying "sushi rice" in 5 or 10 pound bags from various Japanese food companies on Amazon.

Being able to make extremely good rice just like the rice from a good restaurant is incredible, and even fancy rice is cheap enough when purchased in bulk that you end up saving a decent amount of money over time. It takes just a few minutes to wash the rice in the sink and then under an hour to cook it, and you can leave it in there for a while and it will keep it nice and warm.

It's really great with chicken or beef and vegetables cooked in a Japanese BBQ sauce (I like Bachan's, which you can buy in bulk jugs on Amazon for around $40).
Seems to work well, thanks. Bookmarked for sure. Much better than screwing with the level and compass apps while trying to aim an antenna!
That's surprising to me, usually it works quite well at this. Did you start codebuff in the root of your project so that it can get context on your codebase?

There is camaraderie to it; the sense that you're all facing the same struggle together. Nobody is manipulating others by inventing strawman problems to solve because the work is real enough and you all get punished together when it isn't done.

Once toil became intellectual (theocratic) is where life becomes insufferable and simply unfun. It amounts to human domestication.
It sounds more like being involved in crypto than being publicly wealthy is a security concern. Which is unsurprising.

Absolutely agree. Never been in a big truffle region (unless Oregon counts), but have had generously covered white and black truffle dishes from a Michelin ** restaurant. The real thing is very tasty, but the oil is better. Certainly not worth the price premium when you can get an incredible bottle of wine and an excellent pasta for less than a teal truffle dish.

I've been working on that language for a while now!

https://github.com/lone-lang/lone

It's a lisp interpreter with a built in system-call primitive. The plan is to implement everything else from inside the language. Completely freestanding, no libc needed. In the future I expect to be able to boot Linux directly into this thing.

Only major feature still needed for kernel support is a binary structure parser for the C structures. I already implemented and tested the primitives for it. I even added support for unaligned memory accesses.

Iteration is the only major language feature that's still missing. I'm working on implementing continuations in the interpreter so that I can have elegant Ruby style iteration. This is taking longer than expected.

This interpreter can make the Linux kernel load lisp modules before its code even runs. I invented a self-contained ELF loading system that allows embedding arbitrary data into a loadable ELF segment that the kernel automatically maps into memory. Then it's just a matter of reaching it via the auxiliary vector, The interpreter uses this to automatically run code, allowing it to become a freestanding lisp executable.

I wrote an article about how it works here:

Why? This reads like a blatant First Amendment violation.

The platforms are not required to carry any content and moderation is a form of speech. Eg Fox News has no obligation to report on good news for liberals and vice versa for CNN. There’s nothing the government can do there unless they can pass strict scrutiny (they almost certainly wont).

Trying to remove Section 230 protections for exercising First Amendment rights isn’t going to fly. Revoking 230 entirely is fine, but doing targeted removal of 230 protections based on speech isn’t going to go anywhere.

Conservatives are more than welcome to make their own social networks with opposing moderation, and they have. They just don’t get to try to force other platforms to moderate differently because no one wants to use Truth Social or whatever.
Former Zenefits employee, present for both Parker + Sacks eras. I'm with you, and I'd like to add additional color to David Sacks time as CEO.

David Sacks was uninspiring and aloof. As Zenefits CEO, he worked remote from his office at Craft Ventures. When he rarely appeared on-site, he was escorted around by handlers. On top of everything Zenefits was going through, it didn't help morale having an absentee leader. In retrospect, the guy lacks charm and charisma, so in a way it was a blessing not having him around.

Before the major 2017 layoffs, Sacks held an all-hands announcing a new CEO had been found. His impending departure was explained by repeating that he never intended to be CEO, and only took on the role because he felt obligated. What is more, he admitted he was upset over his long working hours, saying he had been sacrificing time to be at home with his family for quite some time. He even shared that his newborn didn't recognize him or his face, to illustrate how long he had been away. Home for him was roughly 3 miles away. Remarkably pathetic.

Couple points in retrospect:

1. Back in 2016, Sacks created "The Offer", an agreement where Zenefits paid a severance to employees to quit voluntarily. About 10% did. It was clear later that Sacks wasn't all-in as CEO or previously COO. Perhaps he should have taken "The Offer" himself?

2. Remote work vs RTO. Given productivity data on remote work, combined with his personal story about his newborn, you'd think Sacks would be an advocate of remote work. Yet he's hardline RTO. He also gets memmed on by other pod hosts who tease him with questions, like if he can remember his kids' names.

I can't follow what you're saying. Someone mentioned that India would be surprised that removing animal protein would undo population growth. I see these "hard stats" as being in complete opposition to that idea.

The data says that most of the population eats meat, and nearly of the population consumes animal proteins, but and in spite of that, most of the population is not eating enough protein.

Since they're not eating enough protein, as is, removing animal protein seems like a bad idea. Suggesting that they would be ok even if animal protein were removed, when all evidence says they're having trouble even with animal protein, doesn't seem realistic.

The more realistic approach would be to add more protein to India. One way to do this would be more animals (I don't know how this maths would work).
