New best story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Why did Python win?

Ask HN: Why did Python win? 336 by MatthiasPortzel | 587 comments on Hacker News. I started programming in ~2013 in JavaScript. I’ve since learned and tried a handful of languages, including Python, but JavaScript was always my favorite. Just within the last year I learned Ruby, and I was blown away by how fun and easy to use it is. At the present time, I’m starting all my new projects in Ruby. My impression is that in the ‘00s, Python and Ruby were both relatively new, dynamically typed, “English-like” languages. And for a while these languages had similar popularity. Now Ruby is still very much alive; there are plenty of Rails jobs available and exciting things happening with Ruby itself. But Python has become a titan in the last ten years. It has continued to grow exponentially and Ruby has not. I can guess as to why (Python’s math libraries, numpy and pandas make it appealing to academics; Python is simpler and possibly easier to learn; Rails was so popular that it was synonymou

New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: Open-source obsidian.md sync server

Show HN: Open-source obsidian.md sync server 383 by acheong08 | 138 comments on Hacker News. https://ift.tt/Cj0loQw Hello HN, I'm a recent high school graduate and can't afford $8 per month for the official sync service, so I tried my hand at replicating the server. It's still missing a few features, such as file recovery and history, but the basic sync is working. To the creators of Obsidian.md: I'm probably violating the TOS, and I'm sorry. I'll take down the repository if asked. It's not ready for production and is highly inefficient; Not competition, so I hope you'll be lenient.

New best story on Hacker News: Beating GPT-4 on HumanEval with a fine-tuned CodeLlama-34B

Beating GPT-4 on HumanEval with a fine-tuned CodeLlama-34B 418 by rushingcreek | 144 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, We have fine-tuned CodeLlama-34B and CodeLlama-34B-Python on an internal Phind dataset that achieved 67.6% and 69.5% pass@1 on HumanEval, respectively. GPT-4 achieved 67%. To ensure result validity, we applied OpenAI's decontamination methodology to our dataset. The CodeLlama models released yesterday demonstrate impressive performance on HumanEval. - CodeLlama-34B achieved 48.8% pass@1 on HumanEval - CodeLlama-34B-Python achieved 53.7% pass@1 on HumanEval We have fine-tuned both models on a proprietary dataset of ~80k high-quality programming problems and solutions. Instead of code completion examples, this dataset features instruction-answer pairs, setting it apart structurally from HumanEval. We trained the Phind models over two epochs, for a total of ~160k examples. LoRA was not used — both models underwent a native fine-tuning. We employed DeepSpeed ZeRO 3 an

New best story on Hacker News: Postgres Language Server

Postgres Language Server 819 by kiwicopple | 101 comments on Hacker News. hey HN. this is a Language Server[0] designed specifically for Postgres. A language server adds features to IDEs (VSCode, NeoVim, etc) - features like auto-complete, go-to-definition, or documentation on hover, etc. there have been previous attempts at adding Postgres support to code editors. usually these attempts implement a generic SQL parser and then offer various "flavours" of SQL. This attempt is different because it uses the actual Postgres parser to do the heavy-lifting. This is done via libg_query, an excellent C library for accessing the PostgreSQL parser outside of the server. We feel this is a better approach because it gives developers 100% confidence in the parser, and it allows us to keep up with the rapid development of Postgres. this is still in early development, and mostly useful for testers/collaborators. the majority of work is still ahead, but we've verified that the approac
