MutableAI (YC W22) – Copilot Alternative for VS Code

In plain words

MutableAI is a VS Code extension that provides AI-assisted code generation beyond simple autocomplete. It combines autocomplete with documentation generation, custom AI instructions, and refactoring tools (Python only). The tool supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust, with more languages planned. It targets software developers looking to reduce time spent on routine coding tasks and improve code quality using artificial intelligence.

  How we leapfrogged traditional vector based RAG with a 'language map'2024 · twitter.com · ▲162

  TL;DR: Vector-based RAG performs poorly for many real-world applications like codebase chats, and you should consider 'language maps'. Part of our mission at Mutable.ai is to make it much easier for developers to build and understand software. One of the natural ways to do this is to create a codebase chat, that answer questions about your repo and help you build features. It might seem simple to plug in your codebase into a state-of-the-art LLM, but LLMs have two limitations that make human-level assistance with code difficult: 1. They currently have context windows that are too small to…

  Spaghettify – A VSCode Extension to make your code worse with AI2023 · spaghettify.dev · ▲323

  Recently, I saw Github Next Code Brushes (https://githubnext.com/projects/code-brushes) which is a VSCode extension that can use AI to do things like make your code more readable, add types, etc. This inspired me: what if there was an extension that could use AI to make your code worse as well? Meet Spaghettify. An extension I developed that can do things like: - Obscure your code - Introduce a bug - Make the variable names way too descriptive - Use nonsymmetrical whitespace - Add irrelevant/rambling comments - Document the code with emoji - Document the code in any…

  Pornpen.ai – AI-Generated Porn▲711

  Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results. For comments/suggestions/feedback please visit…
