Been working on https://searchcode.com/ again which I bought back, albeit as code search tool for LLMs. It solves the “should I use this library” by allowing the LLM to inspect search and analyse it before integration. Can use it to compare multiple repositories before downloading. It comes with a large amount of token savings and can be really useful when wanting to learn about a codebase. Since it does it anyway... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

I reimagined https://searchcode.com/ since I realised LLMs have issues when it comes to understanding code you want to integrate. It’s useful for looking though any codebase, or multiple without having to clone it. I use it when I have candidate libraries to solve a problem, or I just want to find out how things work. Most recently I pointed it at fzf and was able to pull the insensitive SIMD matching it uses and... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Searchcode doesn't seem to work for me. All queries (even the ones recommended by the site) unfortunately return zero results. Maybe it got hugged? https://searchcode.com/?q=re.compile+lang%3Apython. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Without saying what repos they prioritize, it's hard to take them seriously since some pretty simple searches were "uh-huh" e.g. https://searchcode.com/?q=kubelet&src=2&lan=55 versus https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=kubelet&literal=1 or the gold standard (although regrettably no longer open source) https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+kubelet&patternType=keyword&sm=0. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

The other approach that largely turned out to be security theater was Anubis, which proudly proclaimed itself the watchdog of the internet, weigher of souls, but in the words of its creator "Over time I thought the proof-of-work was actually doing something for security, but no — any barrier makes the low-effort scrapers confused and give up." Really, the rapid FOSS adoption (200k downloads to date) has largely... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

So is the solution to everything just more catgirls [1]? PR spam is simply the latest in a long tradition of digital spam, and proof-of-work was originally a counter to email spam. 1- https://anubis.techaro.lol. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

If it's purely bot traffic, then Anubis could help You could have seen it on some websites already https://anubis.techaro.lol/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Do you not run Anubis or have strict fail2ban rules? I just straight up ban IPs forever if they lookup files that will never exist on my servers. That plus Anubis with the strictest settings. https://anubis.techaro.lol/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
