BTW Copilot chat can replace code in the editor. Select a portion of the code in the editor, then press Ctrl+I (uppercase i) and ask it to do something with the code. Alternatively, just place your cursor in a function and press Ctrl+I, it will do the same thing. Shortcut is for windows, I'm assuming it's Cmd+I on mac, but could be wrong

The possibilities are really interesting, when you think about letting the model ingest your whole project. It could do better security and code-smell detection than current static analyzers. Maybe ask it to simplify the architecture. It was shown creating unit tests to verify existing code, but I'd like it to be able to write tests first. I wonder if it can do that already. Really exciting stuff. Thanks

@alexanderpoplawski577 11 ай бұрын

To replace the person class with the generated dataclass, simply select the person class in the editor and use insert at cursor. This will replace the selected text with the generated code. By selecting code in the editor you can also restrict the questions and actions to the selected part. It is also very good at adding docstrings to existing code. For a specific docstring format, just give an example on a method or function.

It looks like in the latest version you can also simply ask it to fix the code and it will do it in place. By right clicking the selected code and opening the chat box that way.

The options seem endles. Have been using chatGPT for a while when coding. Found it really helpful when learning and generating functions. Have noted it makes a lot of coding mistakes when it needs to write multiple functions that need to work together, especially when using newer packages or frameworks. The new ms copilot demo they showed looked really helpful, especially in explaining existing code and generating test casus. Very eager to see where it will take us and how it will change our work

Arjan, being the legend that he is, even makes fascinating ads. First time I rewinded an ad I think. Though I have to add (before I delve into the rest of the video), as a student, I've had Copilot for months now, and I have to say it is remarkably poor. It pretty much functions as a glorified text completor, which has its own uses, but does not have many pseudo-cognitive capacities, unlike GPT-4, which I found worth paying for even in its current stage. Let's see from the rest of the video Copilot changed and we have exciting new features!

The only problem I see with the interacting/creating projects suggestion is that you do not know what really is ChatGPT installing. Maybe it installs a deprecated version with some public known vulnerability. Maybe it brokes your system when installing some dependencies and so on. So, at the end, you are leaving your system configuration to a black box. Which I do not know if is the best option to be honest

@xgodwhitex 10 ай бұрын

Streamlit is great for prototypes. However, it doesn't scale and large applications cannot be built with Streamlit. Taipy is aimed to create from pilots to complete applications easily (multi-page, multi-user). It provides a robust built-in pipeline and data management system for this design that can be used or not depending on the use case. You can certainly use Taipy to build frontend for LLM

@donnieamz2938 9 ай бұрын

@@landsgevaer i have been using ChatGPT Plus quite extensively, and I can confidently say (for now) it is the saw, not the carpentry. When you work on complex codes (and you always do, if this is your full time job), it's impossible to just generate codes that you want without slicing down the prompts to smaller and very specific prompts. Sometimes you even need to tell it which exact functions and logics it needs to use, rather than telling it what you want to achieve. It's not a magic bullet. It's the same with when code interpreter came out the first time, people say it will replace data analysts, which is not true at all, since data analysts always work with crazy rows of data with complex patterns to clean and transform, and code interpreter cannot do all those jobs without you breaking up your data to (again) smaller data files and prompts. If there's anybody who benefit the most from GPT-4, it is the junior level devs, as they can work as fast as the middle level devs now

The danger (for want of a better word) to developers isn't in AI writing code for a specific application - it is in it writing a no-code solution that finally doesn't suck, and achieving what no-code promised for real.

@MikkoRantalainen 8 ай бұрын

Programming is basically about writing accurate enough description of the project you want. The no-code movement pretends that you don't need to write the description. Imagine any complex task: if you were to explain to another developer what you want, would you want to use mouse and click icons or write a description using some language (be it English, Python or C++)? The need for the *communication* is not going to go away no matter how much you want to use no-code movement. Currently programming languages are used because programming languages allow for *accurate communication* unlike e.g. English which is good for hand-wavy stuff.

These generated codes tends to alter younger devs mind because they will unaware that they have been guided and think that the solution are optimal while most of the time we still spend a lot of time checking if the codes are valid or solid and yeah correcting it or simply adapting it to our needs. Nothing is magical its just provides us with quick prototyping but none of it are able to magically solves problems at once 😂

@bailahie4235 9 ай бұрын

Good & interesting point. I think a solution would be in that such tools should also be used to connect developers to each other, e.g. automatically setting up a competition between devs to find the most efficient solution to programming problem X and feeding that knowledge back into the system/the AI to do subsequent updates to everyone's code that had an inferior prior solution to X. Hybrid human-artificial intelligence rules... ;-)

You failed to mention some of the legal implications of using copilot. These tools are known to reproduce existing code-bases verbatim and some opensource projects actually have guidelines in place that bar contributors from submitting code created using them. For small code snippets this may be fine, but having these tools generate large code-bases can really be problematic and can potentially violate all kinds of copyrighted content. I wish Microsoft/Github would be more transparent about which code is being used to train these models. Ideally only permissively licensed code is used and not just everything they can get their hands on.
