Have you tried Continue with Phind-CodeLlama-34B-v2? I've been waiting to explore local alternatives to my current go-to tools (Cursor + GPT4) but it seems that local LLMs quality isn't there just yet... ?

Mythical. This used to be a flash site 20+ years ago. Some of these old tunes still give me goosebumps.

You can bet that their ultimate goal is increasing the number of customers... Personally I've grown tired of riding the hype du jour, this whole saga of server/client components reminds me of Meteor.js. We keep going in circles.

Take this with a pinch of salt. We've managed to cure a myriad of diseases in mice.. eg balding. 99.9% of the time things don't translate to the human body.

For now just follow common sense: exercise regularly, low stress and a (mostly) mediterranean diet.

Almost for any study that says X, you will find another one that says exactly the inverse.

Demos are underwhelming, but the potential is huge

Patiently awaiting rollout so I can chat about implementing UIs I like, and have GPT4 deliver a boilerplate with an implemented layout... Figma/XD plugins will probably arrive very soon too.

UX/UI Design is probably solved reached this point

Do any of these generative music ML framework export as midi instead of .wav or .mp3? That would be 1000x times more useful as the quality we're reaching is good enough.

I can imagine an VSTi that just takes a prompt and generates midi tracks. Something like this is surely coming in the next couple of years.

And apparently that 3rd party just forked Avalanche....

We've probably peaked in the western side of the world...

Global IQ getting lower at an alarming pace.

I was about to get on semaglutide and after extensive research I thought "wait, the results won't be much better than the periods of IF I've had in the past, and the reported benefits are similar", and without side effects. Dropping 30 pounds in 3 months? easy to achieve with the Warrior Diet or OMAD versions of IF.

The results are exactly the same... you fill full eating less quantity, cravings disappear after 1-2 weeks, increased focus and enhanced mental state. But yeah, you need some self-discipline, tons of coffee/matcha and water.

I've concluded that semaglutide is not for me. Just like self-discipline in pills, with potential side effects. So better to give IF another go... I'm in the 4th week and dropped 10lbs already.

What I find astonishing is the wall of text he wrote to get a simple json with 2 key/value pairs. It almost defeats the point of using LLMs as productivity hack.

To be fair, many people don't seem to have these issues you mention. For FinTwit and CT (crypto twitter) it's business as usual. Maybe it happens for other niches though.

I feel bad for people reluctant to embrace the tech. It feels like refusing to adopt email, the web, mobile apps, and so on. Why not use it to your advantage?

Truth is, it's going to become a must for many companies very soon, or they'll be unable to compete. Maybe there will be some niches where human artists thrive, but it's uncertain at this stage.

> A.I. art is not art.

IMO you can certainly output art, code, etc from AIs. AI as a new kind of productivity tool, a very powerful one.

Yeah I was surprised that the bug appeared simply using the app normally. My first thought is that it was data from other user loading so I reported immediately that it looked like a race condition. But maybe it was this other bug you mention.

Of course isn't a repeat, it's just another flavour with similar consequences: bailouts, money printing, rampant inflation, credit crunch, and so on. No matter the language acrobatics and fancy terms used to describe it.

I reported this race condition via ChatGPT's internal feedback system after I saw other user's chat titles loading on my sidebar a couple of times (around 7-8 weeks ago). Didn't get a response, so I assumed it was fixed...

Hopefully they'll start a bug bounty program soon, and prioritise bug reports over features.

Not for everyone apparently. I'm subscribed and it doesn't appear in the dropdown.

> first one has taken a graduate level stat course and/or ML course, and may have work experience in machine learning/data science

I think it's just a few people getting salty because they understand "how it works" but don't understand "why is getting popular". So they start to shout from their ivory tower without realising the tectonic shift under way.

Sort of, you know how to build a stupid mobile video/photo app, but fail to make it popular like facebook, instagram, tiktok, etc. The tech used is certainly not transformative on the surface, but the implications of mass adoption and impact at a societal level are huge.

I for one I'm excited about its usefulness and how this is going to speed up the AI race. The genie is out of the bottle.

> Both Google and Microsoft are pulling the same shady technique [...] They will ship free bullshit-generators and say it’s up to everyday people to sift through the mess.

Can't really understand the meltdown some people are having... Honestly, what you get from well trained GPTs doesn't seem that different than getting search results and and sifting through human-generated bs yourself... including biased mainstream newspapers, stupid StackOverflow answers, self-made wikipedia articles, opinionated blogposts, and a long etc that you need to double-check anyways.

That probably makes LLMs more human xD, at least at this early stage. They should get better with time (hopefully).

This Google vs MS situation is simply going to heat up the war for the search market share, but Apple and many other companies are fine and will roll out their own LLMs, as they're getting easier to build and train. Enhancing Siri seems like a natural first step.

> [...] people are tweeting that they have installed Bing app or opened Bing.com for the first time...

And many others doing a revisit after X years and surprised with the search results... Anyone else having this impression?

It feels more like Google should be (or was in the early days).

yep, it's great for scaffolding and used as an interactive stackoverflow

> ChatGPT is, in technical terms, a 'bullshit generator'.

This bs generator speeded up my coding by 10-20x. It's like a superpower... not talking about ChatGPT specifically but its stochastic parrot cousin (Copilot).

> Google Search is used so widely and its taxonomy of meaning so vast already that once they flip this on they’ll be unstoppable

Yeah, remember Google+? they tried very hard and resorted to very intrusive UX patterns, but they ultimately failed.

IMO this is similar, ChatGPT has a huge head start, and Google needs to do A LOT of work.

I'm quite skeptical of Google catching up to ChatGPT.. I mean, surely they'll try, but this could very well end up like Google Wave or Google+.

Instead of panicking and trying to clone the UX of a popular competitor, they should go directly to conquer and secure the next stage and logical evolution of the AI hype... HCI via voice, improving Google Assistant once and for all.

It's not like robots.txt is a great deterrent for crawlers. Only reasonable barrier would be a paywall hiding the content from the web.
