aravindputrevu··on GitHub Has Restricted Access to Star Data
Star history is a great project. I am sad i will not be able to see the star chart, however, people have abused the system for far too long! So this is coming.
aravindputrevu··on You Don't Know Jack About Formal Verification
Sorry, did not realize that it was submitted.
aravindputrevu··on AI Agent Has Amnesia
Hi, I work for CodeRabbit.

We have been building agents for code review workflow for nearly two years. Our Code Review Knowledge base today serves more than 3 million repos. We pack more than 40 different points of information into the same LLM context, such as MCP Servers, Rule files, etc. We understand context poisoning/rot and how it creating problems.

We are now bringing the same learning/context engine to SDLC and Slack.

Please give it a try!

aravindputrevu··on Claude in Chrome
So far, less impressive. Hope it gets better.
aravindputrevu··on Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company
Would Atlassian be building a agentic version for their AI Coding agent - Rovo.
aravindputrevu··on CocoaPods trunk read-only plan
Isnt this a old news? I'm thinking of Swift Package manager for all the stuff new.
aravindputrevu··on Benchmarking GPT-5
We put GPT-5 through our Golden PR Dataset.

Here is the TL;DR

- GPT-5 outperformed Opus-4, Sonnet-4, and OpenAI’s O3 across a battery of 300 varying difficulty, error-diverse pull requests.

- GPT-5 scored highest on our comprehensive test and found 254 out of 300 bugs or 85% where other models found between 200 and 207 – 16% to 22% less.

- On our 25 hardest PRs from our evaluation dataset, GPT-5 achieved the highest ever overall pass rate (77.3%), representing a 190% improvement over Sonnet-4, 132% over Opus-4, and 76% over O3.

aravindputrevu··on OpenAI reaches agreement to buy Windsurf for $3B
I still can't believe how they let Cursor (which is amazing until somepoint) take away all the shine.

This reminds me of "big companies moves slow.." line.

aravindputrevu··on OpenAI reaches agreement to buy Windsurf for $3B
I completely disagree and feel MS would never do it. Not a MS Employee, but they have moved on from such battles.

They should have restricted the Marketplace several years ago, however, they are doing it now.

With C++, they are part of MFC's, they are the legal owners, not like Google vs Oracle in case of Java.

Lastly, with AI Code IDEs I think yes, there is a case, the need for IDE might be very less. Like a steering on a self driving car.

aravindputrevu··on Botswana launches first satellite BOTSAT-1 aboard SpaceX Falcon 9
So true. I think most people don't realise how hard it is really to build a engine that works.
aravindputrevu··on Gemma3 – The current strongest model that fits on a single GPU
I'm curious. Is there any value to do these OSS models?

Suddenly after reasoning models, it looks like OSS models have lost their charm

aravindputrevu··on Navigating a Broken Dev Culture
You can email me: aravind [at] coderabbit.ai.

We are hiring in BLR and SF.

aravindputrevu··on It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds
People have always thoightabputitand said no to cloud. Especially those folks who are non-native tech businesses
aravindputrevu··on Why software developers hate linters?
I'm the author of the blog.

I agree. I don't perse hate linters, too. I used a combination of them and love getting nits done.

At some places, we even had a pre-commit hook configured to have linters completed, so that was fun.

Lint rules should evolve over a period of time for teams to get better or as the project gets better, in my opinion. And I think there is no such process at many teams today.

aravindputrevu··on Gitlab names Bill Staples as new CEO
Google should do it. If some CorpDev of theirs are listening. This could be their Satya Nadella <> GitHib moment to bring back the lost shine.
aravindputrevu··on 7 Databases in 7 Weeks for 2025
Oh I think there are better vector stores than pinecone. For ex Marqo or extreme case Elasticsearch
aravindputrevu··on 7 Databases in 7 Weeks for 2025
Ex-Surrealer here. Thanks for listing us. Never thought someone on HN would cite us esp when it comes to MongoDB.
aravindputrevu··on Kubernetes on Hetzner: cutting my infra bill by 75%
Do you know that they are cutting their free tier bandwidth? Did not read too much into it, but heard a few friends were worried about.

End of they day, they are a business!

aravindputrevu··on Show HN: Vicinity – Fast, Lightweight Nearest Neighbors with Flexible Back Ends
Some questions

1. When you say backends, do you plan to integrate like a client with some "vector" stores. 2. Also any benchmarks? 3. Lastly, why python?

aravindputrevu··on Using AI to catch S3 config issues
Even after several years, the most typical config issue of a dev system is - forgetting to renew SSL, forgetting to update the DNS config or make a mistake.

OR set the S3 bucket to public :D

It looks like we can get full context-aware config reviews with Gen AI.

aravindputrevu··on Automating Code Reviews Using Large Language Models
Stumbled on this piece while searching for Code Review on Google.

> Microsoft Research and LinkedIn researchers have open-sourced CodeReviewer, a pre-trained transformer model that can automatically assess code changes, generate review comments, and suggest fixes. Trained on 7.9M pull requests across 9 programming languages, it achieves a 71.5% F1 score in identifying problematic code changes and can generate relevant review comments with 3.6/5.0 informativeness rating from human evaluators.

> Unlike existing code models, CodeReviewer is specifically trained on code diffs and real-world review comments from high-quality GitHub repositories. The model outperforms previous approaches by learning to "think" like a code reviewer rather than just understanding source code.

Technical details and model available at: https://github.com/microsoft/CodeBERT/tree/master/CodeReview...

I'm thinking GitHub is gonna use some of this learning in Copilot?

aravindputrevu··on How to Fix 20 Common PHP Issues with AI
Disclaimer: I work for CodeRabbit.

I'm afraid that some issues could arise at runtime, such as CORS problems, which even an experienced developer might overlook.

I don't believe this is simply a list of static analysis issues that SonarQube can identify. One of the advantages of using AI (despite its tendency to hallucinate and be overly picky about minor details) is its ability to generate a fix or several variations of fixes that we can test.

P.S. This gave me a good idea to check if I can run the community edition for testing purposes.

aravindputrevu··on What is the best AI/automated code review tool?
Disclaimer: I work at CodeRabbit AI.

We at CodeRabbit are building a product that helps augment and cut existing code review hubris. We don't think it is just a review problem, through the automated review, we help run code quality workflow on PRs. So it is like improving code quality PR-by-PR.

We also focus on supressing the noise from linters and bringing important issues to the top.

CodeRabbit is used by many OSS projects today. With nearly 4 million PRs reviewed, nearly a million repo's, 15k+ interactions. We are just getting started. Please give it a shot and let us know your feedback. Here or our discord (https://discord.gg/coderabbit)

aravindputrevu··on Ask HN: Is there anything like StackOverflow but for code reviews?
It is a site less visited probably due to the stackexchange domain. But looks there are some regular users.
aravindputrevu··on Lm.rs: Minimal CPU LLM inference in Rust with no dependency
Interesting, I appreciate the rust community‘s enthu to rewrite most the stuff.
aravindputrevu··on Indian entrepreneur, industrialist, and philanthropist, Ratan Tata, dead at 86
His service to animals is laudable.
aravindputrevu··on PR-Agent — extension that adds AI chat to code reviews on GitHub
Looks interesting at the same moment, I don't know why it should be a chrome extension and not a hook into my workflow like Coderabbit dot ai.

What I love with these tools, I'm getting productive. Although, I'd still like to do the review myself.

aravindputrevu··on Show HN: Postiz – open-source social media scheduling tool
All the best! This is an important area to work upon.

Besides, I think X aka Twitter is not supported as of now?

Lastly, what do you think of Typefully? It is amazing too I think.

aravindputrevu··on Output (not =) Outcome
Both output and outcome metrics, collaborative discussion process is important.

We cant say, one is need and one is not!

aravindputrevu··on [dead]
Folks at Middleware have tried to analyse Llama 3.1 vs GPT-4o. They ingest a lot of time-series data from live sources like Github.

They tried to analyse on:

- Mathematical Accuracy - Data Analysis - Actionability - Summarisation

They have a DORA metrics product which show: Lead Time for Changes, Deployment Frequency, Mean Time to Recover (MTTR), Change Failure Rate (CFR) for engineering teams. (https://github.com/middleware/middleware)

I think still it is not the best or efficient way to compare. What do you think? Any suggestions on comparisions for specific use cases like these.
