Is it broken? I tried adding https://github.com/torvalds/linux and asking it to write a simple kernel module for me, but it gave me this error: "Something went wrong, please try again later. If the problem persists, please contact us." Edit: looks like it is, I see it's making a POST request to https://gptduck-production.up.railway.app/query which responds with a 500 Internal Server Error when I use a URL that looks…

The sign-up form doesn't seem to allow passwords with non-alphanumeric characters in them. Ironically, when it sees one, it complains that "password must have at least one number and at least one letter" (even though it already does) - I suspect that's just a catch-all message for invalid passwords?

In any case, the restriction makes it incompatible with pretty much all password generators, including the built-in ones in modern browsers. To improve matters, I would suggest dropping all restrictions on what cannot be included altogether.

When it works it’s impressive, but sometimes it just makes things up: For one of my repos: https://github.com/drpriver/macwatch > Does this program work on windows? No, macwatch is a program designed specifically for Mac computers and is not compatible with Windows systems. The program is designed to provide users with a comprehensive overview of their Mac's performance, including CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage,…

This is in general problem with gpt models.

When it works, it’s flawless. When it doesn’t work, it just makes stuff up that kind of look good, just to make you happy. And there is really no way to tell from the output…

This appears to be quite nice assuming it works, but I wonder: how does this work? I thought ChatGPT could only process a very limited context (a few thousand words or so) and this claims to work for repositories The site says: "we will download [the repo] to the server and create embeddings against the code". What kind of embeddings are these?

I don't know about embeddings, but it was able to decode a URL encoded string into a javascript animated SVG. So larger texts can be encoded and still "understood." You probably wouldn't even have to declare your encoding method. https://www.tiktok.com/@y.i.t.z.i/video/7184820436839042306

Pretty funny how it seems to just have invented something based on nothing more than the name macwatch. The last sentence is remarkably strange, like it's just riffing on the idea of "not supported on Windows" and decided to throw in some random facts about the repo, and wound up with a totally false statement.
