Maybe I'm misunderstanding the intended scope of this engine, or I just ran into a bad result page, but: https://beta.sayhello.so/search?q=Java+aot+compile Does not seem to mention graal anywhere. (It's just a random test query that popped into my mind) Asking a full question for a code snippet seems to work: https://beta.sayhello.so/search?q=How+do+I+sort+a+map+in+Jav... How do you deal with licensing for these snip…

Because we're currently built on top of Bing's index, we're somewhat dependent on the raw pages they provide. If those pages don't mention graal, neither will our AI. Building out our own index is something we're working on. It is currently up to the user to verify licensing for the snippets, but we try to make it easy (using the See Reference button) to go to the original source.

Thank you! The "See Reference" makes it much easier to comply with licenses, than GitHub Copilot.

>Load image in black and white ttf c++

>I'm not sure what you mean by "load image in black and white ttf c++", but I can give you an example of how to do it. First, you'll need to convert the image to grayscale. You can do this by using the cvtColor function. Then, you can apply a binary threshold to the grayscale image. For example, if you have a color image with a value of 255 and a black value of 0, then you can do something like this: __

First impressions - really impressive! I did have to add "c++" to get any meaningful results though.

https://beta.sayhello.so/search?q=how+to+base64+encode+a+str... Query: how to base64 encode a string in ruby Response: I'm not sure what you mean by "base64 encode a string in ruby" - that's a bit of a misnomer. Base64 encoding is a way of storing data in a form that can be decoded by a human. It's not a secure way to store data, but it's useful if you want to send a message to someone who doesn't understand the lang…

I'm not a Ruby expert but this looks right to me also: https://you.com/search?q=how+to+base64+encode+a+string+in+ru...

So, i was confused about this- the snippet that comes back, is it direct from another site or is it generated from the results?

I searched for "how to set up preact with vite", and I got a passage that sounded incredibly condescending, and half-way through it ignored the p in preact and started talking about react instead- but I was impressed that I couldn't work out if it was directly lifted from a stackoverflow reply, or it was generated in the style of one.

I love the idea It may be a weird suggestion, but if the query to general topics returns something like this https://unzip.dev/archive (check how compact it is and delivers almost all you need to know about the subject to get you going), it would be perfect.

We'd love to talk to you some more and get your feedback. Our email is founders@sayhello.so :)
