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.

So if source available libraries are imported, they are also parsed by the AI?

So if I create a GPT for my open-source library as a way to fund it, all these copilot etc. are going to compete with me?

Just wondering because that would be a bummer to not have this avenue to fund open-source code.

Sama is a much nicer guy, right?

He doesn't have to be because he doesn't make everything about himself at the companies he runs. You seem to have a pretty skewed idea of what a CEO is for.

So you don't mind if a CEO isn't a good person if they're not vocal about it on social media?

I used it for the first time today too, for the same reason. It was slower and much worse at coding. I was just asking it for SQL aggregation queries and it just ignored some of my requirements for the query.

ChatGPT was down, so of course it'd be slower. And possibly that accounts for some quality loss as well. For a fair comparison, you probably need to try while ChatGPT is working.

The extension with gpt4 as a backend was ime extremely slow as standard. I've not tried it again with the v7 model though which is supposed to be a lot faster

Woah , didn't know that! Thanks for pointing out!

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 made a NeoVim plugin that helps debug diagnostic messages, providing explanations and solutions for how to fix them, custom tailored to your code.

It's a bit different from other plugins which only act on the text in the buffer in that it also sends the diagnostics from the LSP to ChatGPT too.

Do you know how the quality compares to OpenAI? On Kagi I get really fast responses, but I feel that the quality is lacking sometimes. But I haven't done side-to-side comparisons as I don't have OpenAI subscription.

It’s exactly the same models as OpenAI.

Azure OpenAI had an advantage of larger context length. Hoping they boost up the Azure offering following OpenAI updates yesterday.

ChatGPT is a good editor for the papers I write for school. Even for short sentences I don't like, I'll ask it for some options to reword/simplify.

I also use it heavily for formatting adjustments. Instead of hand-formatting a transcript I pull from YouTube, I paste it into Claude and have it reformat the transcript into something more like paragraphs. Many otherwise tedious reformatting tasks can be simplified with an LLM.

I also will get an LLM to develop flashcards for a given set of notes to drill on, which is nice, though I usually have to heavily edit the output to include everything I think I should study.

In class, if I'm falling behind on notetaking, I'll get the LLM to generate the note I'm trying to write down by just asking it a basic question, like: "What is anarchism in a sentence?" That way I can focus on what the teacher is saying while the LLM keeps my notes relevant. I'll skim what it generates and edit to fit what my prof said, but it's nice because I can pay better attention than if I feel I have to keep track of what the prof might test me on. This actually is a note-taking technique I've learned about where you only write down the question and look up the answer later, but I think it's nice I now can do the lookup right there and tailor it to exactly how the prof is phrasing it/what they're focusing on about the topic.

This lines up with my general experience with it. It’s quite proficient at turning a decently detailed description into code if I give it the guard rails. I’ve compared it to having a junior developer at your disposal. They could do a lot of damage if they were given prod access but can come back with some surprisingly good results.

Are you at all worried about what happens if we have a generation of human junior developers who just delegate to this artificial junior developer? I do. If too many of our apprentices don’t actually learn how to work the forge, how ready will they be to take over as masters someday themselves? I can see how ChatGPT was useful to the grandparent today , but got very disturbed by what it might portend for tomorrow . N…

chatgpt doesn't just program, is interactive, this will make junior dev. more emphasized in their strength and not, while gaining a lot of experience

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 using Phind quite a lot. It's using it's own model along GPT 4 while still being free.

It is also capable to perform searches, which lead me - forgive me founders - to abuse it quite a lot: whenever I am not finding a good answer from other search engines I turn up to Phind even for things totally unrelated to software development, and it usually goes very well.

Sometimes I even ask it to summarize a post, or tell me what HN is talking about today.

I am very happy with it and hope so much it gains traction!
