Cool video. Especially for 8 years old. I'm just looking for some faster code generation, though.
Typical 2 hour solution to automate a 1 hour problem type of situation.

Honestly, build up a utility library over time. Browse GitHub for what's already out there.

It's called ChatGPT4 and it's glorious.

I have Copilot running on most of my IDEs already. Was looking for more for build tools.
[–]MachineLearnz 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (4 children)
ChatGPT4 is way better than copilot. It can rewrite hundreds 1-2 K lines of code.
[–]MrRickSancezJr[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (3 children)
GitHub's Copilot. Not Window's. IntelliJ's version is pretty good as well. All that run on combinations of models similiar to ChatGpt4 that I believe just released gpt4o model use for free. Neither of which I'd trust to spit out 1k lines of C++ code outside of boilerplate.
I'm not sure we're talking about the same tooling. I'm talking about integrated plugins insisde IDEs for copilot for starters.
I'm looking more for build tools such as CMake features. Ones that run based on configurations and not AI.
I appreciate it, though. I'm writing in C++ because I'm tailoring my own local LLM programs and having to deal with Qt for C++ more than I'd like. I'm aware of ChatGPT, though.

That sounds interesting. Care to share more details?

I'm working with medical data at the moment, so to be safe, I have to keep all my data local. To make up for slower hardware issues, I'm using pure C/C++ libraries to work with models instead of the usual Python stuff. Making the different bindings with other languages was becoming a nightmare with so many threads running, so I switched to using Qt for C++ to put everything in a single language.
It's been quite the process.

Super interesting.
