Glad I managed to get some work done with it while it was working for a few hours. Holy smokes the code interpreter functionality has been a complete game changer for my workflow.

I have a tampermonkey script that downloads any files that the prompt returns... a python script locally to watch for file changes and extract the contents to the projects working directory and it can work both ways, if I edit my prompts.txt local file, it passes that data to openai’s currently opened chat and renames the file and creates a new empty prompt.txt

I made a CLI tool called Promptr that takes care of this for you if you're interested: https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr

You just prompt it directly or with a file, and it applies the changes to your file system. There's also a templating system that allows you to reference other files from your prompt file if you want to have a shared prompt file that contains project conventions etc.

Also curious how you use it! Maybe it's something I can add to robocoder.app

The vscode extension builds are including your full source code and node_modules directory which makes it 21 mb. You can reduce the size (and potentially keep your code less easily reversable) by excluding those from the final package

Do you think the next step may be that it actually replaces you as a programmer?

It can... fortunately I’m a principle @ my firm... the engineers I would have needed to hire might have been preemptively replaced. My use case is a bunch of adhoc data analysis.

So basically, you are happy to use AI because it benefits you and you are also happy training it to replace other people since you will not be the one replaced.

Phind is pretty good for coding (LLama 2 trained on billions of extra code tokens) and is still up https://www.phind.com/s

I am curious how people are using Phind. I actually had a discussion with Phind itself recently, in which I said that in order to help me, it seems like it would need to ingest my codebase so that it understands what I am talking about. Without knowing my various models, etc, I don't see how it could write anything but the most trivial functions. It responded that, yes, it would need to ingest my codebase, but it cou…

Founder here. We have a VS Code extension that automatically fetches context from your codebase.

As a data scientist, I’m happy that most data continues to be so terribly formatted and inconsistent as to break and confuse AI. But for how long that’s true, who knows!

I would've said that understanding and fixing the data would be one of the best usecases for the AI.

Unfortunately, there are still many ways to “fix” things that have a lot of trade-offs or downstream consequences for analysis. For most basic cleaning tasks, LLMs are also still way too slow.

You can also use the ifdef-loader module to have code that is conditionally included in the output build, allowing you to have debug code not make it into prod builds. The `rc-dev-` license keys being a good example of that.

And then you will have to endure not using a model by OpenAI that is 10x better than a local one

What is so special about OpenAI's cloud hardware that one can't build themselves a similar server to run AI models of similar size?

Nothing stopping you from buying an H100 and putting it in your desktop.

As for me, I’ve got other uses for $45k.

I'd be curious to hear about the workflows people have come up with using ChatGPT. I'm still in the realm of "I don't know how to do this" or "I forgot the exact incantation to that" or "is the an X that does Y in framework Z?"

I'm a coder and it's helped there (although needs constant hand-holding and fine-tuning, yet is still useful)

I wrote a couple commandline tools to do things like autogenerate commit comments or ask it questions from the commandline and return the right bash invocation to do whatever I need done https://github.com/pmarreck/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/functio...

Random thing I did this morning was see if it could come up with an inspiring speech to start healing the rift between israel and its neighbors https://chat.openai.com/share/71498f5f-3672-47cd-ad9a-154c3f...

It's very good at returning unbiased language
