Show HN: Mutable.ai Codebase chat that uses a Wiki for RAGhttps://wiki.mutable.ai/Dao-AILab/flash-attentionHi HN!We wanted to introduce our codebase chat that uses a wiki of your repo to do retrieval instead of traditional vector or keyword RAG.We have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of responses. We think creating a language knowledge base for LLMs to do RAG is the future. The way this works is we first write a Wikipedia style article on your codebase complete with diagrams and citations to your code.We’ve run it on some of the most popular repos. If you want us to run in an open source repo please comment below. You can also run it on private repos and the permissions will follow those of the repository on GitHub. The wikis auto update via a GitHub bot and even show you previews of the new wikis in a diff view.Please check it out and let us know your thoughts.Thank you!

Ask HN: Your Yearly Power Usage in Kwh?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40875185Last week we did our electrical meter reading for the yearly re-balancing of our electrical bill (sidebar: here in Germany we typically pay a monthly rate based on average past usage at that residence, and that rate is adjusted up or down yearly), and i was somewhat surprised to find that we had used only 1077 kwh for the previous 366 days (about 10 of which we were not at home), which meant that we got a refund of very nearly half of what we'd paid in during the previous year.1077 kwh for a year seems somewhat low to me, and i know it's low for the US'ians in the crowd (most of which who have to deal with air conditioning costs), which has made me curious about average Geekdom power usage, in particular among folks who place an explicit focus (as i do) on reducing their electricity costs.To the best of my recollection, this two-person household has the following electrical usage:- a raspberry pi 4 for the NAS and various network workloads, hosting about half a dozen external SSD driveJul 4, 2024 2:22 PM

Show HN: Quick Calories – Efficient Weight Loss for Software Engineershttps://calories.joeldare.comI faced a sudden career twist recently and I used it as motivation to revisit and improve Quick Calories, an app that helps software engineers quickly track their daily calorie intake.The original idea was born out of my own struggle to find a dieting app that fit my style - something that allowed me to quickly log calories without tedious manual entry. And now, I'm excited to share Quick Calories with HN!What is Quick Calories?- A minimalist app that makes calorie tracking lightning fast.- It keeps a running calorie total and automatically resets daily. Just track your intake and move on with your life.- The math-friendly input lets you perform arithmetic operations on calorie counts, making it easier to log complex meals or snacks.As someone who spends hours staring at screens, I know how hard it is to prioritize health when work-life balance feels like an oxymoron. Quick Calories can be an indispensable tool for a busy software engineer.I'd love to see more software engineers using Jul 3, 2024 7:02 PM

Show HN: Sonatino – small audio dev board based on ESP32-S3https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40850062Hi!My name is Ben, and I recently updated my audio dev board "Sonatino" after receiving a lot of good feedback from the initial launch a year ago.I began working on this after building a few projects that required audio capabilities. I was getting tired of wiring up external DACs and amplifiers to ESP32 boards, so I decided to look for a more compact, integrated solution. The available options either had larger footprints, non-standard connectors, or features that I didn't typically need for my projects. That's when I started working on a custom PCB that could be a sort of "audio swiss army knife". The result was Sonatino.Some have criticized the use of a DAC and ADC that support HD sample rates and bit depths, especially when other factors will limit the usefulness of anything over 44.1kHz/16-bit audio. I actually agree - HD audio in this context is mostly overkill, but most modern audio chips support it and it's entirely optional. My primary goal was for the ADC and DAC to be easy toJul 1, 2024 8:07 PM

Show HN: Auto-generate a custom, developer-first playground for your LLM apphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40826557Hi everyone -We’re the team at Inductor (https://inductor.ai), where we’re building the tools that developers need to build production-ready LLM apps and product features – far more quickly, easily, and systematically. We’re super-excited to share a new capability that we’ve just built: Custom Playgrounds.We built Custom Playgrounds because it’s important to be able to interactively experiment with an LLM app or product feature as you’re building it, and share your work in order to collaborate – but, today, this is too often cumbersome to do.Custom Playgrounds solve this problem by providing a developer-first way to auto-generate and instantly share a playground running directly against your code and environment, with a single Inductor CLI command: $ pip install inductor $ inductor playground my.module:my_function where “my.module:my_function” is the fully qualified name of a Python function that is the entrypoint to your LLM app. (No modifications to your code required!)Some highlightJun 28, 2024 11:41 PM
