Something like this with low latency, high accuracy voice recognition would be great. Pointing at a variable with the cursor and asking "what's this for?" could be much easier than writing out an entire sentence.

Looks pretty good. I wonder how intuitive it'll feel to work with the chat panel open at the side — that'll take some adjustment, but I might give it a go and see how I get on. See if there's a net productivity increase and what the cost is versus just using ChatGPT+ when stuck/exploring.

This has been covered here before[0]. And I remember the questionable approach to add some of its dependencies[1]. I like meilisearch and used it in one project, but downloading some binary at runtime isn't really trustworthy IMHO.

- biosboiii 3y ago
  The download path is hardcoded to be the binary release of a github project. I don't know any other, more trustful way to download MeiliSearch rather than doing this. You could download the source, and build it from scratch, but that also requires trust in the same exact Github repo which build the binary. If your threat model is that Github repo being compromised, you can't escape that either.
  - whilenot-dev 3y ago
    The windows version is fixed, the posix version is depending on whatever meilisearch decides. A digital signature check would be great for supply chain security, eg. with cosign[0]. meilisearch prob won't make any effort there, since they want customers on their cloud offering.

  There are some that respond to easy to answer issues in projects like dosu.dev but they aren't at a level where they can actually create fixes or features to complex codebases without significant engineer review and changes which just ends up increasing burden rather than reducing it. Best the top tier llm's can manage right now is minor tech support.
  - devstein 3y ago
    This is spot on (I'm the founder of Dosu). IMO, we are quite far from the capabilities of reliable issue -> PR generation yet even though it seems in reach. For this reason, Dosu is focused on question answer, triaging, and generally context gathering because we see it as a pre-requisite to PR generation.

Why attach this to an IDE? I would think that simply letting an LLM control a terminal and make a commit would be the better approach. I recently tried it with "You are in a directory with a web app that does ... and you want to implement feature .... In each step, you can use ls or any other bash command and I will give you the output". It was pretty hillarious how the LLM found its way around the codebase with ls, cat, find, grep awk and actually even managed to edit the code that way and do a commit. Giving the LLM a bit better tools, like a version of "cat" that prefixes the lines with numbers, and a "swap" command that can do "swap 179 250 ..." to swap out the lines 179 to 250 with "..." would probably be enough to empower the LLM to be pretty efficient. The next step might be to let the LLM manage its context window by allowing it to remove the last output with a command like "forget". So when the LLM does "cat somefile" and realizes that the output is not interesting, it can follow up with "forget" so the output will be replaced with "You deemed the output to be not interesting". Those tools would probably evolve to make coding and managing the context window more and more efficient. Like "nicecat 100 200" to see the lines 100 to 200 with numbers prefixed. "keep 200 300" to forget the last output except lines 200 to 300 etc.

    I'm using it in VS Code to help me write my Flutter app. Used their preview model (ChatGPT 3.5?) for most of the time, now I switched to my own ChatGPT 4 API key for having more context. It replaced StackOverflow for me and it helped me to learn Flutter, as it was able to explain its own code to me. Really great!

    > Out of interest, what are you self-hosting and where? Nothing yet, but I've been playing around with a few models on vast.ai, and want to run them in my homelab soon.

    - danpalmer 3y ago
      Thanks, and yeah I did a bit more reading and this does seem to be much more about the IDE integration than the model. I'm curious as to why, because the IDE integration seems to be the "easy bit" – I've used 3 different ones now and they're all about the same. I'd have expected that the main lever the product has in being better than others is having a custom model that understands code edits much more than others.

        > I'd have expected that the main lever the product has in being better than others is having a custom model that understands code edits much more than others. True, but this is not something this particular product would solve. There are already models specifically trained to work on code. What's appealing to me is the flexibility of being able to choose which one to use, rather than my workflow being tied to a specific product or company. > the IDE integration seems to be the "easy bit" I admittedly haven't researched this much, but this is not currently the case.

My experience with these AI coding tools so far has been that while they're great for writing functions and explaining hard to understand errors, they’re really let down by the fact they don’t have high level context of the project or business you’re working in. It seems it’s very hard to make good decisions about how to higher level things (modules, classes, dependency hierarchies etc.) without that context, and the programmer is forced to give the tool very specific instructions in order to compensate. At some point the instructions just need to be specific enough that you might as well be writing code again. I have no doubt they'll get there eventually, but it seems like being able to write entire projects effectively might coincide with the arrival of true AGI. There's just so much context to consider.
- hemmert 3y ago
  I just throw all relevant source code files (entirely) on it, paste the error message and it usually shows me what's going on. Or at least it utters a hunch, which is a good next step to find the error.
  - iforgotpassword 3y ago
    But where's the limit? Say I have a really large project and the function in question is calling dozens of functions from all over the place. The time it takes me to follow each call chain and copy all the code probably takes longer than just debugging the problem myself. I was hoping the GitHub or intelliJ integration of copilot would automate this, especially the latter has excellent static analysis of your code and could automatically provide the AI with relevant context, but they just don't. Even when asking it to just annotate a function and specifically ask it to document any special cases or oddities it might have, I never got much more than e.g. updateFroobCache() annotated with "updates the froob cache". Wow thanks.

I had the experience of Github Copilot introducing hard to catch, sometimes even security relevant bugs into my code, due to missing context. I developed a rental system web app in Django, I have a route which allows me to delete a rental, it checks if you are the creator of the rental OR the admin of the group. It was done right in the frontend, but in the backend it checked whether the request user is the rental creator OR if the creator of the rental is the group admin.. That really made me a freak out for a second, I started rechecking all the code I autocompleted with Copilot.

  It would become acceptable if the AI’s error rate is as low or lower as your own. But there is also the criticality of errors. Even if the AI’s error rate is below your own, the criticality of the errors may still be significantly higher. There is a bad zone where the error rate is low enough that you don’t thoroughly verify each and every generated piece of code, but where the error rate and/or criticality is still substantially higher than your own. This can be compounded by the use of the AI resulting in more code (and thus more bugs) being written in a shorter time.

Ctrl+F "copilot". Nothing. My only request for these tool-makers is: don't be shy. Tell me why I will stop paying for GitHub Copilot and pay for your tool. Make me sign up ASAP for a trial. Please don't pretend Copilot doesn't exist in the same universe. You probably have 5 seconds max (and I don't say this out of self-importance. I say this out of being a desperate little piece-of-shit who eliminates everything from their life that doesn't keep them on the path to their already less-than-ideal productivity :( I just can't afford that attention you demand)

    It helps reduce the number of hoops I have to jump through. Previously : hit a problem, use Google search or read the official docs, StackOverflow, etc; Now : ask Copilot and assess if the solution makes sense to me. Often, it does.

Ctrl+F "copilot". Nothing. My only request for these tool-makers is: don't be shy. Tell me why I will stop paying for GitHub Copilot and pay for your tool. Make me sign up ASAP for a trial. Please don't pretend Copilot doesn't exist in the same universe. You probably have 5 seconds max (and I don't say this out of self-importance. I say this out of being a desperate little piece-of-shit who eliminates everything from their life that doesn't keep them on the path to their already less-than-ideal productivity :( I just can't afford that attention you demand)

Why use Copilot?
- vijucat 3y ago
  It helps reduce the number of hoops I have to jump through. Previously : hit a problem, use Google search or read the official docs, StackOverflow, etc; Now : ask Copilot and assess if the solution makes sense to me. Often, it does.

    I used it a few months ago and didn't find it that helpful, is it immensely better with the latest update? I think it had one?
