Phind Model beats GPT-4 at coding, with GPT-3.5 speed and 16k context

> Show HN: Phind Model beats GPT-4 at coding

Does it? I don't see any evidence of this strong claim in your post, and I think it's quite deceptive how the only link is to a benchmark of open source models (which doesn't include GPT-4). I've tried Phind a few times in the past when it made equally strong claims and been somewhat unimpressed. (To be fair, comparing anything to GPT-4 is tough!) I think it would strengthen your position significantly to simply say that you're the best of all open-source models.

To be honest though I've been completely ruined by https://cursor.sh/; copying and pasting results back and forth from a web UI to my IDE is so painfully slow when you do it tens or hundreds of times that I don't think I would be able to go back. I'd be happy to try out a Phind extension that has similar UI/UX if you ever make one.

> I need a typescript function which takes in an object with an id string property and a string message property, and also takes an array of search strings, and returns a mapping of search strings to matching message ids

Your prompt is wrong. You want a function that takes an array of id/message objects, not an object.

It's quite impressive that GPT is just able to correct for that. As a human, I would first ask what you actually mean, because your prompt appears to be unclear.

Human memory, in my limited understanding, doesn’t have the bifurcation of weights and context that LLMs do. It’s all a bit blurrier than that.

Something interesting that I heard from people trying to memorize things better is that memory “storage space” limits for people are essentially irrelevant. We’re limited by our learning and forgetting speeds. There’s no evidence of brains getting “full”.

Think of it like a giant warehouse of plants, with one employee. He can accept shipments (learning). He can take care of plants (remembering). Too long without care and they die (forgetting). The warehouse is big enough that it is not a limiting factor in how many plants he can keep alive. If it was 10x bigger it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.

But some of the earlier tokens are also the most important ones, right? Like the instructions and rules you want it to follow.

That bot of yours is second chat bot that claimed it can program or can help with programming. And that bot of yours is second one that utterly failed to provide me with an implementation of blocked clause decomposition in Haskell. I needed something, even the most slow version would do.

Yours' bot also tried to bullshit me about validity of its answer, just like the other one.

The difference? Your bot mentioned a paper on arxiv about the problem. But the paper (and I read it long time ago, of course) does not provide even pseudocode implementations of most of the algoithms mentioned there.

Color me not impressed.

As usual, bots like yours are not for when you need something new. If I have an idea, I cannot use any AI, including yours, for prototyping work.

It is expected as neural networks are interpolators, not extrapolators and for them to "extrapolate" one need to train them over the "extrapolation" area quite well.
