Looks very nice ! Don't know why, but I want to pick the shell with Pikmins :')
Saauan
I agree with you that it sometimes gives wrong answers. But most of the time, it can help better than StackOverflow, especially with simple problems. I mean, there wouldn't be such an exodus from StackOverflow if ChatGPT answers were so bad right ?
But, for very specific subjects or bizarre situations, it obviously cannot replace SO.
Cloaks are awesome !
For a research project, I'm currently looking into open-source GitHub Copilot alternatives and monitoring options. As someone else already said, you can use the FauxPilot self-hosted backend. It works pretty well, but you have to host it yourself. You can use this backend with a frontend extension, such as the official GitHub Copilot plugin (with telemetry disabled) or with the FauxPilot VSCode extension. However, I found that the FauxPilot extension is very lackluster in terms of features compared to the official extension (On top of my head, it does not have any caching mechanism, nor does it cancels the requests already made if you continue typing (they just pile up), and does not have any sort of filter for the completions. All of these lead to way too many generations being requested from the model.
TL;DR : If you want to use the GitHub Copilot extension, without GitHub looking over your shoulder, you can use the FauxPilot backend and opt-out of the telemetry from VSCode/Copilot (I don't know which one needs to be disabled) (or do as I did for research purposes, and change the telemetry url in the source code to a localhost one).
Is it the same in Europe ? I feel like with the different regulations, they might also get sued there.
I simply think they won't care much about it, as it seems from the requirements :/
I wonder what would be the difference in environmental footprint between the two types of chargers. According to this article it seems okay-ish compared to classical chargers, but more sources would be needed for me to form an opinion on the matter.
Anyhow, these new chargers look neat
It seems practical enough for mails that seem uselessly verbose. But eh, then the issue is why do you have to write all the "boring emails" in the first place ? Why are they so boring that you need an AI to write them for you ?
Overwatering killed a lot of my house plants. But once i started using an app to remind me of when to water and drained the water using clay balls, they suddenly stopped dying!
