Tagging will be redundant pretty soon with facial recognition...

How would this work in practice if it was litigated? Wouldn't you need proof that this was expressly communicated to the specific individual that violated and that they did so knowingly? Seems like it probably isn't enforceable...
bobismyuncle··on Show HN: Memex is a Claude Code alternative built on Rust+Tauri for vibe coding
Just to be sure, same with Samsung, Harvard, UCLA? It means that someone once signed up with an email address from the organization? You can just do that?

bobismyuncle··on Pinecone integrates AI inferencing with vector database
Astra DB seems to just be a tutorial showing how to generate embeddings using another service.

Weaviate seems to have added a similar capability — kind of wild that they announced on the same day.

Looks like Pinecone also includes reranking as part of the same process — did Weaviate add that as well?

This post has some more technical info: https://www.pinecone.io/blog/integrated-inference/

Makes a lot of sense to me to combine embedding, retrieval and reranking — I can imagine this being a way that they can differentiate themselves from the popular databases that have added support for vector search

bobismyuncle··on Qodo automatically verifies PR complies with Jira ticket or GitHub issue
I think it does actually do automated compliance checks.

"The Qodo Merge code review agent addresses these challenges by establishing an automated connection between ticket management systems and code reviews. The tool fetches ticket context from Jira or GitHub Issues when referenced in pull requests, then evaluates how closely the code changes align with the ticket’s requirements. It assigns compliance levels of “Fully compliant,” “Partially compliant,” or “Not compliant,” while maintaining a detailed audit trail of all reviews and changes."

Noa’s mom is terminally ill with cancer and has pleaded to be able to hug her daughter again in the few months she has left. Such happy news!!
bobismyuncle··on Show HN: We open sourced our entire text-to-SQL product
Curious why you decided to open source your entire product. Are you moving to an open core model? I’d expect in that case that much of 2, 3 & 4 would have stayed closed. Would be grateful if you can share your reasoning
bobismyuncle··on Cover Agent: open source regression test generation tool
I think you’re spot on that currently it can only test what the code actually does.

That’s probably why they specify that it’s for regression tests which are meant to do exactly that - test that future changes to the code do not change the current behavior unintentionally

bobismyuncle··on Did a Fourth Grader Write This? Or the New Chatbot?
It's pretty clear that OpenAI could fine tune ChatGPT to pass the Turing test if they wanted to. Same as with LaMDA, OpenAI will intentionally keep things in place so that ChatGPT fails on technicalities. There's clearly some kind of fear in play of the fallout from passing

Some of these are lessons you only really learn once you make the mistake yourself
