Interesting discussion! While RAG is powerful for document retrieval, applying it to code repositories presents unique challenges that go beyond traditional RAG implementations. I've been working on a universal repository knowledge graph system, and found that the real complexity lies in handling cross-language semantic understanding and maintaining relationship context across different repo structures (mono/poly).

Has anyone successfully implemented a language-agnostic approach that can:
1. Capture implicit code relationships without heavy LLM dependency?
2. Scale efficiently for large monorepos while preserving fine-grained semantic links?
3. Handle cross-module dependencies and version evolution?

Current solutions like AST-based analysis + traditional embeddings seem to miss crucial semantic contexts. Curious about others' experiences with hybrid approaches combining static analysis and lightweight ML models.

I liked the approach movpasd suggested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42346076

With a linear algebra library, you can guarantee that you've found the next, or the previous, match in sequence. I don't know what the state of the art is for fast linear algebra in javascript, though.

(The matrix approach also has the advantage that, when your full-text search problem has 2^115 solutions, you can compute the one you want, the next one after some index, without having to compute them all.)
I hardly ever drink coffee, but don't people generally prefer a ceramic mug?

This seems like a cost-cutting measure from Starbucks to save collecting and washing cups and mugs.
Ok, then the answer is simple for me. We kill it with something that is not fascism. And we try to kill it with something that does not end with the suffering of millions of people.

And we try to keep the best option that could lead to having a working democracy again in the shortest possible time.
UHG is notorious for Medicare Advantage fraud. Ask any cardiologist, and they'll tell you that this is still happening. It's not as bad for the patient as denying claims, but it's plenty bad for taxpayers and the healthcare system as a whole. It's not going to get fixed because some of those fraudulently acquired dollars buy legislators, and nobody who wants to fix it is going to spend anywhere near as much.

I'm going to go with caching issues + interactions with Sabre backend. Also, did you know that your confirmation code, aka record locator is not globally unique? They are 6-character sequences like KZVGX5, so as you might imagine with the number for passengers flying, it doesn't take long to exhaust the namespace.
Your tone comes across as sarcastic, yet I cannot believe you haven't met at least several people who have used computers for 34+ years who didn't know you can change some basic setting.

Nonsense. Health insurers LOVE the Affordable Care Act. Major parts of that legislation were basically written by industry lobbyists. It essentially mandated that everyone get coverage, which greatly expanded their customer base and revenue stream. Now that most employers have self-funded health plans the insurers no longer sell much insurance (in the sense of bearing financial risk) and mainly just provide administrative services while passing the bills on to employers. This is guaranteed stable profit. Zero large health insurers are lobbying to repeal the ACA. Why would they kill the golden goose?
Yes but now you’re already bringing in a judicial review of the specific people and circumstances involved. You might as well have a regular homicide investigation.
> The fact is that the Eastern region of Ukraine historically voted for pro Russian candidates. And after being annexed, again voted to be part of Russia. Presumably the people that live there, hedged their bets on who would treat them best going forward, and came up with Russia multiple times.

That's simply not true. Pre-war surveys showed 1% support for joining Russian Federation in Kherson and up to 13% in areas with the largest number of Russians. So it was a fringe idea even among ethnic Russians. Leaked surveys conducted by Russian military admin after the invasion showed similar low levels. They got 99% support in their fake referendums only through extreme intimidation:

Moscow-backed forces are going door-to-door armed with machine guns forcing Ukrainians to vote in "sham" referendums that will annex newly occupied areas to Russia, sources have told the Telegraph. Voting began on Friday morning and is expected to continue until Tuesday, with polling stations featuring see-through ballot boxes and armed guards set up across Russian-controlled parts of the Kherson, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions, as well as Russia itself.

Ukrainians living in territory that Moscow has taken since the start of the war have been told their families will be massacred if they refuse to take part, with soldiers sometimes even leaning over their shoulders and watching them as they vote. “We are forced to go under the pretext of being shot. If we didn’t go, they said that they would shoot or massacre the whole family,” said a resident in Severodonetsk, Luhansk Oblast, who wished to remain anonymous due to fears of reprisals. “We're scared. At the referendum, turnout is required or arrest or worse. Many are being forced with a threat to life.”

Maybe this shocking and extreme and sad murder of the CEO will get a discussion going on the state of healthcare in the US? But if anything productive comes from this it’ll make murder for your cause viable and that’s a road to chaos.
It was not a democratic election specifically because of massive foreign interference. Democracy doesn't work with an adversary propaganda channel in your society. This is why RT and Sputnik news were banned just about everywhere in the West. This is why the US has given Tiktok a year to sell their operations to a US company or gtfo. After this I hope the EU follows suit, kicks them out or at least massively fines them into compliance.
Thanks! Just did. I didn't think of it the first time given they escalated me to someone who then asked me to verify the information I had just told them over email. Maybe this will get their attention.
I still have my Color BASIC & Extended Color BASIC books. I have lost all my shit in storage, but I have the CoCo I with the II "upgrade" (16->32k ram, and removing the chiclet keys for the curved ones). We had tons of cassettes and I wanted to donate to archive, but unable to find them now :( I'm worried it's too late with deterioration issues of magnetic media.

I was too young to appreciate what coding was, I could type in programs but had no real understanding of DIM. I thought it was cool that they had a memory map graph in the books to help you program images - you could literally see the array layouts IIRC.

> One core requirement for this is what Rust calls an Enum and what is broadly known as a Union type

Union types and enum types are not the same thing, and this misunderstanding invalidates the entire article. An enum type includes a marker which indicates which value it contains. The garbage collector would be able to read this tag value and know.
I know I shouldn’t be surprised that uuids like 00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000000 or 12345678-0123-4567-8901-234556789012 exist, but being able to search for them and find them still feels amazing.

I mean, if you hate the new skin enough, seems like a valid reason.

Not really any downside. Remember my log in has an expiry of about a year so you don't have to be continously logging in. Banner ads are not shown to logged in users which is nice. Wikimedia doesn't really do tracking of reads, so dont have to worry about that (i mean, i suppose web servers have logs, but that is true if logged out too). I suppose maybe its slightly slower since only logged out views are handled by geolocated servers so there is a bit more latency if you aren't in north america.
It looks like that code was never actually MIT licenced but had the licence-file in there by mistake. Then Roman made the repo public after the faulty licence got removed, because he (wrongly) believed the code actually was MIT-licenced before the change.

That's how I read it. Is it true? No idea but it might be.

When I say "nationalistic flamewar" I simply mean people posting pejorative or inflammatory things about specific nations, and/or getting into flamewar-style arguments in the context of national disputes. There's no question that your account did that in this thread, multiple times and quite badly. That's against the HN guidelines, which is the only thing that matters from a moderation point of view.

If it helps at all, I didn't mean to imply that you are espousing nationalism.
I used to work for a company that wrote software for health insurers to run their businesses, from determining financial responsibilities and amounts, all the way through cutting checks to providers, handling repricing, everything.

I wish I could say I got out of there for ethical reasons (there were good reasons, but if that was the only...)

We did a LOT to be ethical. The amount of requests we turned down from our customers - "If we have a database of familial relationships (who knows what, or from where, be it public records or 23andme), how can we mine the database with that information to determine people's predisposition to certain conditions based on familial diagnoses?"

"You can't."

"Why not, it's in the database?"

"Yes. But that is federally illegal for you to do. And if it's illegal for you to do, we are not going to facilitate it either."

But the writing was on the wall, I'm sure at some point there would be more and more "grey areas".
This argument seems more like the data generated was bad. There are examples where AI has surpassed humans by using simulated data (AlphaZero - where it played against itself to become the best at Go).

It also seems to happen most on small networks. Which makes sense.

Additionally, humans create simulated stories like Dune, Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter, which introduce fictional concepts, yet these stories still result in trainable data.

Nicely said. The problem here is the message clearly resonated and people voted for him. Yes, he might have had help in spreading that message, but the message still landed and people chose him.

To now say that the election was invalid when people actually chose him is extremely risky. My guess is it will reinforce a lot of narratives about how evil the west and the USA is. This will only make things worse, and will put the winner in an even stronger position.
Yes, but currently that's always the most expensive option.

Don't know about the biggest, although it was quite big, , but the best shell program I ever wrote was in ReXX for a couple of IBM 4381s running VM/CMS which did distributed printing across a number of physical sites. It saved us a ton of money as it only needed a cheap serial terminal and printer and saved us so much money when IBM was wanting to charge us an ungodly amount for their own printers and associated comms. One of pieces of software I'm most proud of (written in the mid 1980s), to this day.
How about "Be kind."

The GP comment doesn't count as 'thoughtful' in any sense I recognize. What I see there is: (1) celebration of a murder; (2) denunciatory rhetoric; (3) a major assumption about what happened (in reality, none of us knows yet what happened there); and (4) a barrage of clichés ("justice has been served", "flag away", etc.).

I agree that finding an investment that generates a higher percentage profit is ideal, provided you have the discipline to maintain that investment over the long term. However, the reality is that most people lack this discipline. How many individuals actually keep their money in the most profitable investments over time? Particularly when most investments, aside from bonds, have variable returns.

Often, people withdraw their money from investments when they start to decline in value, or they divert funds into impulsive investments that ultimately result in significant losses.

If you speak with any doctor and ask what patients typically do when advised on how to improve their lifestyle, you'll find that many attempt to change their habits. Yet, ultimately, they often revert to the unhealthy behaviors that led to their issues in the first place. Behavioral bias, is challenging to overcome, even when it compromises their well-being. The same happens in financial decisions.

While it is possible to find better investments over the long term, paying off your mortgage as quickly as possible I believe is the better investment for most people. It's not the best but it's the easier one that most people can achieve.
you need some imagination, this is something that has happened.

you have a phone and the voting booth is private, how is anyone going to catch you?

the other old school (90s) way was you were given an already stamped paper and you had to return an unstamped one to get the money.

Second on Cloud Infra and SRE stuff. All the big players need it and you have a lever which can move the moon. If you are good at what you do you will have a massive impact on the company. You hear lots of stories like “I saved my company XXX million dollars per year by turning off versioned objects in S3”. I think the hardest part I have had is there is a lot of tacit knowledge in infrastructure, usually you are not the first person to solve a particular problem and anyone who has good industry experience can tell you immediately what you should do. For example I was looking at distributed storage and for kubernetes and was testing out OpenEBS, I spent about 2 months setting it up and getting it working only to find it had some critical shortfalls. Later I was talking with another person from industry and they are like “yea you should just use rook/ceph, everyone uses it”. And lo and behold rook solves my problems and works great.
I was arguing against the specific claim that a "free and fair" election is one that is consistent with the laws of the country the election is being run in.

In fact, I think your response proves my point. What you're saying is that the specifics of the laws matter - i.e, whether or not a election is "free or fair" depend on _what_ the rules of the game are, not only on the fact that they are the rules.
We’re not going to have meaningful conversation about the state of healthcare in the US because that in and of itself would be an admission of guilt in the insurance industry. At best, we should expect thoughts and prayers all around.
Yup, I believe a calculator can also be created as a state machine (which is a really nice CS topic to learn), and that's what I think, for example, Desmos, is built upon. There are loads and loads of concepts that we can learn in building a calculator.

People generally think that they should juggle between different projects and while that isn't false, it's important to realize that it's better to extend one single project than to start off a new one when learning new stuff. What do you say?
When you're not actively trying to click on anything, you shouldn't have to be overly worried about where your cursor is. It's especially stupid that your cursor can be in a safe, non-reactive area of the article, and then you scroll down and now your cursor is hovering over a link and the pop-up shows up even though your cursor didn't move.

Hovering shouldn't be used for something this big. It should only be used for things very similar to its original purpose in web browsing: small visual feedback to indicate that the element under the cursor is interactive and will make something significant happen after the user clicks. (But the interactivity of an element still needs to be apparent even before or without the visual confirmation that comes from hovering. This is even more important in a world with touchscreens where hover events aren't available—and that lack of hover events for a large portion of users is another strong reason not to put any big important functionality behind those events.)
Why is the space thing inherently insecure? I’m thinking bad form validation could trip it up and be considered “not handled” vs concerns suggesting plaintext storage
I used to rent a studio on Parc Lafontaine in Montreal for around $400 USD/month.

Beautiful space, clear view of Mont Royal, right off the park, ideal location (IMO) in the plateau.

Granted, this was around 15 years ago -- I shudder to think what the now-likely Airbnb units in that building go for these days, probably $400/night.
This rather ignores the role of health "insurers", third party administrators, repricing specialists and every other middle man that contributes more significantly to the price of healthcare than the actual cost of providing that care.

> It essentially mandated that everyone get coverage

Given that for the four tax years for which there was an actual penalty associated with that provision, the average penalty paid ranged from less than half (2014) to less than double (2017) the average monthly cost of individual health insurance, it essentially did nothing of the sort, even for the brief period where it might superficially have seemed to if you didn’t examine the details much.

> Now that most employers have self-funded health plans

Most employers (either by count of employers, or by count of employees) do not have self-funded health plans. Most large (>500 employees) tend to have at least one self-funded health plan, but smaller employers generally don’t, and large employers employ only about 1/4 of the workforce.

> Who decides what care is "needed"? Everyone is going to die eventually.

When the decision maker is accountant, RN, or AI versus physician, I know who _shouldn't_ be deciding it.

The two experiences I've seen first hand (coincidentally both UHC):

A willingness to deny vastly improved QOL for a simple surgery unless I spend an extended amount of time to determine whether somehow, a nasal spray would straighten the cartilage of a 95% deviation to the septum.

As a paramedic, the realization that UHC routinely denied paying for HEMS (air ambulance) for serious car accident patients to trauma centers because of "lack of pre-authorization".
And how much of this is just correlation and not due to mobility per se?
