For 2 years I built RAG apps for clients. They are not Code-Assistants but everytime I see code assistants solely relying on embeddings to find the right pieces as context, it feels wrong to me:

Code is very well structured. Based on a starting point (current cursor, current file, or results of an embedding search result) you would probably fair better to traverse the code tree up and down building a tree or using Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) as described in this blog post [4]. It's like a tree search in order to get relevant code pieces for a certain task, and it imitates what human coders do. It would integrate well into an agent loop to search relevant code.

Aren't there any open source code assistants and plugins that do this? All I see are embedding searches for the big projects such as cursor, cline or continue.

All I ever found were a few research efforts such as RepoGraph [1], CodeGraph [2] and one one codebase open sourced by Deutsche Telekom called advanced-coding-assistant [3]

When I wrote OP I was thinking of html rendering as just another form of typesetting. Basically any method of reading something at a different place than your text editor. So markdown it itself is fine, but if you generate html from it and read that, that's "typesetting" that is taking you away from the tactile experience of working with code.

Fascinating. I'm sure you're not lying and that this is true from your perspective. And yet my experience is the exact opposite. If the "divergent ideas" are e.g. "everyone who voted for Trump is an evil nazi" vs "everyone who voted for Trump is just stupid", I'll grant that those two ideas will be entertained and debated. But if the idea falls anywhere outside the accepted orthodoxy, for instance "maybe people who voted for Trump were well informed and had good reason to do so", that idea is not tolerated at all.

Granted I live in Seattle, which is probably home to a disproportionate number of more extreme progressives.

Or perhaps the GP liked the fact checkers because they were on the whole doing a good job of actually checking facts.

I think it's highly dependent on the particular hardware.

I have two HP EliteBook G8s, one AMD one Intel. Both work perfectly with Linux, although they don't support S3, only the "modern" standby.

The AMD one randomly craps out if suspended in Windows. No idea what it does, but it gets extremely hot and doesn't respond to anything but a hard reset. Sometimes it reboots on its own. Maybe because it gets too hot? No idea.

The Intel one also sometimes gets fairly warm for no reason (I keep it up to date, so it can't be random updates - also happens in my bag, so while unplugged). But sleep now mostly works fine. For the first year or so it would sometimes wake up with a garbled screen.

Those are both your regular basic enterprise laptops, no dedicated GPUs or anything fancy.

I see these questions a lot, but mostly the feel disingenuous. People aren't really that dumb, and most large, functioning systems usually have a material history that leads to where they are at.

The answers really are helpful and will tell folks a lot about the world. If you don't understand how WP and Drupal ended up where they did (and why Joomla, Cake, etc ad infi are no longer around), then I suggest that you try to answer the question your asking, or at least pay some attention to the answers you get.

WP had, for quiet a while, a much better and conceptually easier admin system. Even that system was clunky and hard to train non-tech folks to use. But it was better than Drupal and more interactive than Joomla.

You might not accept that answer, but that really was a lot of it in my experience.

I hate WP for a lot of reasons, but its not like the many "serious professionals" who have built software for it were doing so for unworkable reasons. I found it much of a pain the ass, but if you know what you're doing and develop the correct skill sets it is far from a nightmare.

I like the idea of this magical tax. There's a lot of unearned wealth that was stolen, illegal, through wars or various forms of corruption. Unfortunately, these taxes won't work on them. If they were obtained illegally or unethically, they can be hidden in the same way.

For the most part, these kinds of taxes hurt the people who are being honest and declaring their wealth. Some billionaires are bad, some are good, and these will almost exclusively target the good ones.

So in practice, no, unless the magic button fixes the loopholes that come with it.
The incentive is to produce tasty food that makes as much money as possible. Food is so cheap in the US that I doubt that was the limiting factor. Like, we make cheap candy that is 99% sugar.
Right. I'll go back to the shop and have a closer look in that case. I like the idea of a streaming device to connect to a normal stereo system.

It's horrible that trust is being eroded so much, and seeing monthly GB updates to my OS doesnt reassure me at all. I like the idea of having a stable isolated VM for each project. Are there standard open-source tools to do this?

Specifically I'm transitioning my Go and Zig development environments from an old mac to an M1 with Asahi Linux and getting a bit lost even finding replacements for Truecrypt and Little Snitch. Do these VM tools support encrypted VM's with firewall rules? I saw Vagrant mentioned here and that sounds like it might cover the network isolation, but what else would you suggest?

Belkin SoundForm Connect + a physical power button amp. So many people chasing so much complexity, but this seems like the precursor to the WiiM(?) - first I'm hearing of that one.

There's a paper that probed how strongly a model would focus on prompt-supplied tokens when generating a response as a signal that it was trying to use the prompt as the source of information as opposed to knowledge it had been trained on. Ie, how much it was trying to lie based on it assuming that the information in the prompt was true, as opposed to having a rich internal model of the thing that is being verified. It looks like it works, sort of, sometimes, when you have access to the actual labels. The results from this work, in the more real-world unsupervised setting, are better than random, sure, but not good enough to really be exciting or reliable.

It's our president's whole thing to take measures that sorta move the needle in a good direction but are focused on being good moves politically.

> We're not collectively paying for flat-chested women to get breast implants, or ugly men to get nose jobs

Uh insurance actually does cover them, particularly for reconstructive surgeries. It should be noted that the conditions under which insurance would cover a trans person's gender affirming surgery is going to be essentially under the same conditions they would for a cis person. Now it's worth noting that Medicaid does generally cover gender affirming surgeries in certain states however Medicaid is required to be primarily paid for by the state rather than the federal government. Medicare only covers them under specific circumstances with a large pile of supporting documentation attached. And then with private insurance providers it is highly dependent on the company and policy whether they cover them or not.

> We're also not labeling it as "life-saving."

Gender affirming surgeries are almost always the very last step for trans people and it's far quicker, easier, and more common to get them as a cis person than it is as a trans person.

Gender affirming care however is generally what is referred to as life-saving more than anything else. This is primarily access to medication in the form of Hormone Replacement Therapy and additionally in the form of access to counseling and therapy to support the transition and to mitigate gender dysphoria among other issues.

And the thing I think most people don't really understand is how disgustingly cheap the primary form of care, Hormone Replacement Therapy, is.

For trans women the main medication is estradiol. This medication is extremely cheap and most pharmacies won't take insurance for it due to how cheap it is. A month's dose in the cheapest form at one of the higher doses is going to be at most 15-20 USD per month. More expensive forms of estradiol that don't have to be taken as rigorously and/or have less risk of side effects cost around 1.5-3x that depending on the form. For the first few months to a year they'll also generally take a testosterone suppressor until the estradiol suppresses testosterone by itself and those medications only cost around 10 USD per month or less.

For trans men the main medication is testosterone. It's controlled so it's more annoying to get due to it's abuse as a "performance enhancing drug" but even at the higher doses it costs more or less the same amount or less than the equivalent doses of HRT for trans women (coming in at well under 20 USD/month, more often less than 5 USD/month).

This puts the cost of the bulk of treatment for transgender people at well under the cost of most other medications.

Tattoos can change, too. If I had a tattoo like that, but had come to see the error of my ways, I would have it removed, or if that was too costly and time-consuming (it takes a year or so of painful, expensive, periodic laser treatments to remove a tattoo), I'd have a tattoo artist cover it up with something else.

There's no excuse for keeping a neo-Nazi tattoo if you stop being a neo-Nazi and realize that neo-Nazis are disgusting people.
