Bugbusters.ai automated bugfixing using gpt-3
Hi everyone on HackerNews, We are just launching Bugbusters. Bugbusters is a GitHub-Bot that writes bugfixes for errors detected by application monitoring software like sentry. It examines an error's monitoring data, such as stack traces, in combination with the source code and git commit history to generate a potential fix. The bugfix will be submitted via a Pull Request that will also include details on the determined cause of the initial error and approach taken to fix it. You can simply create a GitHub Issue containing a link to the error in sentry and assign it to the Bugbusters-Bot. In…
In plain words
Bugbusters.ai is a GitHub bot that automatically generates bug fixes for errors detected by monitoring tools like Sentry. It analyzes stack traces, source code, and git history to create potential fixes submitted as pull requests with explanations of the root cause and solution approach. Users create GitHub issues with links to Sentry errors and assign them to the bot. When the bot cannot generate a complete fix, it assists developers by providing potential causes, research results, and suggested code changes.

Hi everyone on HackerNews, We are just launching Bugbusters. Bugbusters is a GitHub-Bot that writes bugfixes for errors detected by application monitoring software like sentry. It examines an error's monitoring data, such as stack traces, in combination with the source code and git commit history to generate a potential fix. The bugfix will be submitted via a Pull Request that will also include details on the determined cause of the initial error and approach taken to fix it. You can simply create a GitHub Issue containing a link to the error in sentry and assign it to the Bugbusters-Bot. In cases where the bot is unable to generate a solution, it assists a programmer in finding a fix by providing information and steps that could lead to a resolution. This may involve providing a list of potential error causes, online research results such as stack-overflow posts, as well as code changes (commits) that may have caused an error. While we are currently focused on automated bug fixing, there are lots of other interesting features that we want to incorporate in the future, such as: Avoiding the reoccurrence of a bug by generating unit tests or recommending steps such as a refactoring to avoid them in the future. Integration into IDEs/terminals/std-err, which would allow developers to overcome errors during coding time much faster. A programmer could also be informed that their code has a certain error-proneness or that they are working on a critical section that has been causing errors in the past. Improving PR-Reviews by tracking critical code sections and highlighting them during reviews. This would allow developers to consider previously caused bugs and improve the quality of their code. Overall, we believe that Bugbusters has the potential to greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of bug fixing. Let us know what you think!

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
