Do you have an open and public PR that shows off Darwin's PR review capabilities? I'm reading a lot of words about what it can do, but I'd much rather see an actual example.

#32naming things is hard. Googling for other things already named this shouldn't be.
You're right, any suggestions for a better name are welcome!
I like Darwin - could easily move to CodeDarwin, GitDarwin, DarwinHub, AutoDarwin, etc. I think the urge to keep everything as one goofy name is overkill, and spread bc everyone wants their project to be as central as python. But there’s plenty of combo names - numpy, scikit, and github, off the top of my head. It does open up the semantic space by about 6 orders of magnitude, just counting English nouns.
Obv I’m in the minority there tho… for single-word names I’d focus on the themes of building, concretizing, deploying, maintaining, etc, with a bit of the typical LLM wizard/ai/scientist terms. Sooo perhaps (some play on-)…
- Hephaestus / Vulcan
- Atlas
- Ancient wonders like Troy, colossus, pyramids, Great Wall
- synonyms for “base”: foundation, stratum/substrate, core, nexus
Love the app :). As you can tell, I vastly prefer thinking up names to actually doing work! If I had my way it would be dAIrwin, but that’s why no one asks me these things lol

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
Most effective in what way? Are you looking to generate an app from scratch or have AIs work on an existing project?
From scratch
While Darwin can generate code for you, I think generating new projects from scratch is already being done by a lot of the major frameworks. Check out the native docs/tooling around the kind of stack you'd like to build!

#34Let's say I want to have a somewhat genereric CRUD-app: A database, some application logic, a login system, logging/telemetry and a UI. What kind of stack should I use so that tools like Darwin (or just plain old copilot) can be most effective?
My general answer: any tool that has a large online community. I’m not the dev, but any LLM-backed responses will naturally depend on that LLM’s familiarity with the tech. With that in mind, RubyOnRails and create-react-app (+ some node backend) seem like the natural winners.

#35As someone who’s also solo-employed on AI development, I love your work based on the copy - will try when I get home. Please, tho, do some thinking about safety if you haven’t. There’s a lot that can go wrong between “nothing” and “paperclip apocalypse”, and I think the autonomy you’re giving machines here should only be done with great care.

No yet, but I see how that would be a great show case. Will work on that!

#37I like it! I built a command line AI coding assistant for my projects ( https://codemancer.codes ) when GPT-4 first came out, but still think this space is wayyy under explored given the possible capabilities.
Couldn't agree more! Codemancer looks great, I'll give it a try

#38What's the backing LM?

#39What's the backing LM?
Everything goes through OpenAI. Different models are used for different purposes, at the moment we use gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4-turbo-preview

#40It asks for access to my private repos. I don't want to give a brand-new AI tool access to my private repos. But if it looking at my private repos was optional, I would try it.
I get that! In order to check out the repo, these permissions are required though. What could I do to make you feel comfortable granting those permissions?

Literally nothing. Ain't gunna happen. :( :( :(
