tabby VS nixpkgs

https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby can run self-hosted AI coding assistants. I tried it a while ago and it worked with Nvim pretty easily. There is a VS code extension too. The extension will just sort of "read" with you and provide suggestions from time to time. Anytime the suggestion is good you can press some key ( by default) to accept it. It's basically autocomplete on steroids.

NixOS just got tabbyml[1] which is built on llama-cpp. Working on systemsd services the weekend and updating latest tabbyml release which supports rocm in addition to cuda

Nice implementation! It should serve as a great reference for a minimal Tabby's backend API. Thank you for sharing it!

Yeah - ultimately, it won't be as performant or feature-rich compared to https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby, but it's still perfect for educational purposes!

Looks interesting! What are the main differences between this and https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby ?

TabbyML | Software Engineer (Rust) | REMOTE

Self-hosted AI coding assistant. An opensource / on-prem alternative to GitHub Copilot.

Project: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby

Tabby is seeking a Software Engineer proficient in Rust to join our core engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing the following features:

There are a bunch of VSCode extensions that make use of local models. Tabby seems to be the most friendly right now, but I admittedly haven't tried it myself: https://tabbyml.github.io/tabby/

This will drop you into a shell where `tracexec` is installed.

I don't think so. The article is probably intended for the Nix community, so the author doesn't need to convince HN that something is going on. If as an outsider you are interested then you need to look into it yourself, the community has no obligation to make their internal conflicts legible to the outside world.

As an outsider myself, it certainly looks like something is going on as more than 20 Nixpkg maintainers left in a week: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=label%3A%228.has%3...

For a single file script, nix can make the package management quite easy: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/languages-f...

For example,

Yes, Nix doesn't actually ensure that the builds are deterministic. In fact it works just fine if they aren't. There are packages in nixpkgs that aren't reproducible: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aiss...

I'm not familiar with Bazel, but Nix in it's current form wouldn't have solved this attack. First of all, the standard mkDerivation function calls the same configure; make; make install process that made this attack possible. Nixpkgs regularly pulls in external resources (fetchUrl and friends) that are equally vulnerable to a poisoned release tarball.

NixOS uses a monorepo and I think everyone's love it.

I love being able to easily grep through all the packages source code and there's regularly PRs that harmonizes conventions across many packages.

Nixpkgs doesn't include the packaged software source code, so it's a lot more practical than what Debian is doing.
