Ok, so why do we need stackoverflow anymore?
It was unclear in the quick pitch but I am wondering if they essentially throwing RAG/search on top of a GPT model? I am guessing so because I cannot imagine you could train the model on such a limited source and get meaningful information. If thats the case perhaps this will be interesting but I think there are other interesting angles to this approach than focusing on a single library/codebase.
I'm so used to links not being underlined, I tried clicking the orange 'Copilot for docs' about 4 times !
> I'm so used to links not being underlined Here’s a user stylesheet I’ve been using for 2½ years (when color-mix() landed behind a pref in Firefox Nightly!): :any-link { text-decoration: underline color-mix(in srgb, currentcolor 30%, transparent) !important; } :any-link:is(:hover, :active, :focus) { text-decoration: underline !important; } This means links get a semitransparent underline normally, and full-opacity o…
Question: why would you prefer the latter technique on public sites, vs what's in your user stylesheet?
It has full knowledge of your entire codebase rather than being limited to currently open files (I assume embeddings with RAG) and will index documentation (or any other URL).
I find it especially useful for things like Swift/SwiftUI APIs given how quickly they can evolve, not to mention copilot’s other limitations when it comes to languages beyond JS/TS, Python, etc

I switched to Cursor (VSCode fork) a couple of months ago. It does this already and I haven’t looked back since. Especially as the copilot extension (along with all my others) work out of the box.

So how do you actually use this? Or is it just a design/proposal?
Copilot for docs is a horrible name for this demo. It feels more like a search engine concept, the knowledge base is up to date, and the answer is personalized. But again, the naming is horrible, I thought is was a Copilot just for markdown.
I am very disappointed that it isn't.
I had some success having ChatGPT document my code, it fact, it does a better job than I do by myself. Sometimes I have to fix some misunderstanding, but when it comes to writing and finding the right words, it is way better than I am. For me, it works better than for code generation, and I think that kind of "Copilot for Docs" would make a lot of sense.
