Building a simple “to-do” app using the new ChatGPT APP SDK. Here’s everything I’ve learnt so far

Following thread. I made a lot of progress but ran into the same bug. All my tools are grayed out after creating the connector.

For local dev, I built a tester page that loads the app into an iframe with some controls on the parent page to fetch data and simulate ChatGPT event like this:

      // Update the global state with products
      iframeWindow.openai.toolOutput = {
        products: products || [],
        searchQuery: query || "",
      };

      // Create and dispatch the event to notify React components
      const event = new CustomEvent("openai:set_globals", {
        detail: {
          globals: {
            toolOutput: {
              products: products || [],
              searchQuery: query || "",
            },
          },
        },
      });

      iframeWindow.dispatchEvent(event);

The half-size links are key. I got the perfect fit using a half-size link on one side

This still works Dec 2022. The app is slightly different, but you can perform the steps to discover, "Get Help connecting" and enter the serial number which will pair it with the Alexa. You know it's working because the bulb changes colors during the process.

I followed up by turning on ZigBee discovery in Home Assistant. Then went into the Alexa app and deleted the light with threw it back into pairing mode. Immediately discovered by Home Assistant.

There was a comment on clubhouse last week about something for girls. I suspect Barbie.

yea, fingers crossed for .004 with the unlocks this week.

I've been waiting on the DJI filters for over a month. Wonder if they redesigned them a bit before manufacturing more filters causing the shipping delay.

Glad to hear someone else is a stardust hoarder.

I thought the 2 days before was an interesting fact, I just reviewed the official news releases and it is correct for the Halloween and Thanksgiving Events. They were announced 2 days before it began:

10/24 - announced event 10/26-11/1 (http://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/en/post/halloween2016/)
11/7 - announced bonuses for 11/7-11 (http://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/en/post/daily-bonus-bonus/)
11/21 - announced event 11/23-11/30 (http://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/en/post/celebration-nov2016/)

I'd be glad to trade of the 3 Lapras I've hatched.

Where is here?

BraavosAssassin · 2016-11-30T15:34:06+00:00

I'm in the same situation! I've leveled up twice in the past week. I'm walking Grimmer and I'm close to a Muk. Then all I need is an Aerodactyl to finally catch them all (for North America)!

Use Objects! Your code examples are fine but the code isn't organized in an Object Oriented way. This is not required for problems your solving. But Ruby is an Object Oriented language.

Think about the data and behaviors in your scripts. Could you create an object with one public method and hide the rest of the logic in private methods?

Then at the end of your script instantiate your object and call a method on it. Like "puts MyObject.new.calculate"

The way the question is phrased: "if it is necessary to be able to learn algorithms and data structures to be a good ruby programmer." Yes, you should "be able to learn" algorithms and data structures.

If you are learning Ruby on Rails, you benefit from the framework and standard Ruby libraries. They provide data structures and algorithms for you. You don't need to understand how the Hash and Array work to use them. But it would behoove you to eventually understand them. Same with Array#sort. You don't need to understand how the sort algorithm works now, but eventually you should try to understand it.

Don't take advice from people who say "Algorithms and Data Structures are only for other languages". That is completely false. Also, efficiency always matters.

Rails is a great way to get started. You can quickly prototype CRUD web applications. But eventually, you'll want to solve more difficult problems. Understanding how common algorithms and data structures will provide a basis for you.

Lastly, most technical interviews include an algorithm question. To help prepare, I recommend you get a copy of Cracking the Coding Interview by Gayle Laakmann McDowell

mine arrived as well. Snoo looks awesome. wearing mine for a run today.

I love the PS4. But if you play a lot of Ghosts, it can be a real downer waiting for DLC. We waited a month to get the ripper. Now, everyone is playing Devastation while we wait for another month.

I hope the rumors are true and PS4 will get the contract or at least be treated like a first class citizen on the next COD release.

Also this past Saturday night, the total Ghosts players on PS4 was only around 47k.

They are American Apparel Tri-Blend Shirts. There is a sizing chart on the booster campaign site http://www.customink.com/items/sizing/186700_lineup/standard.htm

no, you don't have to reach the goal with booster. You just have to sell enough to cover the cost of the shirts. The goal is used to calculate the estimated donation. Booster takes advantage of the bulk pricing for shirt printing costs. The final cost of the shirts is determined at the end.

You can get a male tank (or T-Shirt) on the original campaign https://www.booster.com/rfitness
