Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

LLMs and Programming in the first days of 2024
To rephrase it a little bit.
Much of programming, coding and developing is done by a person who is a knowledge worker and writes code. A good proportion of code to be written, will be written just once and never again. The one-off code snippet will stay in a file collecting dust forever. There is no point in trying to remember it in the first place, because without constant repetition of using it, it will be forgotten.
LLMs can help us focus our knowledge where it really matters, and discard a lot of the ephemeral stuff. That means that we can be more of knowledge workers and less of coders. I will push it even further and state that we will become more of knowledge workers and less of coders until we will be, eventually and gradually, just knowledge workers. We will need to know about algorithms, algorithmic complexity, abstractions and stuff like that.
We will need to know subjects like that Rust book [1] writes about.

Data structures/algorithms course in rust?
This seems to be exactly what I am looking for, but it's in chinese.

Agents of Change: Navigating the Rise of AI Agents in 2024
Aider was developed by Paul Gaither and focuses on giving developers a pair programming experience directly from developers' terminals. This command-line tool edits code in real-time based on a user prompt in the command terminal. As of writing, it only supports OpenAI’s API but can write, edit, and refine code across multiple languages including Python, JavaScript, and HTML. Developers can use Aider for code generation, debugging, and understanding complex projects.

2markdown – Transform Websites into Markdown
I built a similar thing in python using Playwright and Pandoc [0]. It's used by aider's `/web ` command that lets you paste a markdown version of any webpage into your AI coding chat. This helps if you want to include docs for an obscure or non-public package/api/etc with the LLM while coding.
I really value dependencies which are easy for all users to install, cross-platform. Playwright is nice because it has a simple way to install its dependencies on most platforms. And the `pypandoc` module provides a seamless install of pandoc across platforms.
The result turns most web pages into nice markdown without requiring users to solve some painful platform specific chromium dependency nightmare.

Aider: AI pair programming in your terminal
Thanks for trying aider, and sorry to hear you had trouble getting the hang of it. It might be worth looking through some of the tips on the aider GitHub page [0].
In particular, this is one of the most important tips: Large changes are best performed as a sequence of thoughtful bite sized steps, where you plan out the approach and overall design. Walk GPT through changes like you might with a junior dev. Ask for a refactor to prepare, then ask for the actual change. Spend the time to ask for code quality/structure improvements.
Not sure if this was a factor in your attempts? I'd be happy to help you if you'd like to open an GitHub issue [1] our jump into our discord [2].

Ask HN: If you've used GPT-4-Turbo and Claude Opus, which do you prefer?
Have you tried something like Agentic’s Glide? (They announced it this week here on HN)
They use gpt, but they might be able to configure it so it uses Claude
Another tool to check out could be aider https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider

Are you aware of the work on https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider? What's your take on generating code diffs directly instead of code editing instructions?

A Man in Seat 61
He should add AI to his site!
Not really - the site is great as-is and there's nothing wrong with this approach. It looks like it works really well for Mr. 61.
But I'd imagine it'd be pretty helpful to write tools to help with maintaining the site which do leverage LLM models. Do a combination of search + AI to rewrite + reviewing the individual edits (e.g. through selective git adds).
I'm imagining a tool like https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider (which I haven't tried yet, but it looks useful for this kind of effort).

Web Scraping in Python – The Complete Guide
I recently used [0] Playwright for Python and [1] pypandoc to build a scraper that fetches a webpage and turns the content into sane markdown so that it can be passed into an AI coding chat [2].
They are both very gentle dependencies to add to a project. Both packages contain built in or scriptable methods to install their underlying platform-specific binary dependencies. This means you don't need to ask end users to use some complex, platform-specific package manager to install playwright and pandoc.
Playwright let's you scrape pages that rely on js. Pandoc is great at turning HTML into sensible markdown. Below is an excerpt of the openai pricing docs [3] that have been scraped to markdown [4] in this manner.

DeepSeek Coder: Let the Code Write Itself
Thanks for trying aider, and sorry to hear you had trouble getting the hang of it. It might be worth looking through some of the tips on the aider github page:
https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider#tips
In particular, this is one of the most important tips: Large changes are best performed as a sequence of thoughtful bite sized steps, where you plan out the approach and overall design. Walk GPT through changes like you might with a junior dev. Ask for a refactor to prepare, then ask for the actual change. Spend the time to ask for code quality/structure improvements.
Not sure if this was a factor in your attempts? But it's best not to ask for a big sweeping change all at once. It's hard to unambiguously and completely specify what you want, and it's also harder for GPT to succeed at bigger changes in one bite.

Voxos.ai – An Open-Source Desktop Voice Assistant
How does Voxos help avoid copying & pasting code into your IDE? I had a look around the code base and don't see any indication that it allows GPT to directly edit your source files. But maybe I am missing it?
I'm asking because this is a major focus of my open source AI coding project aider [0]. I always like to see how other projects approach the challenge of letting GPT edit existing code. Most recently aider adopted unified diffs as the GPT 4 Turbo code editing format [1].
