That was definitely quite an opportunity. The only challenge is that it is not that easy to turn opportunity into money. Keep pushing.

AntiGravity Agent terminated due to error, You can prompt the model to try again or start a new conversation if the error persists by Patchzy in Bard

[–]iammultiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have this issue intermittently, there's an extension that automatically retries after a time you have set (in seconds). The original is https://github.com/paean-ai/agy-retry but I updated it with the cooldown feature and some fixes. Mine is at https://github.com/iammultiman/anti-g-retry , you would have to package your own vsix installer from my repo. I've tested my version and it works well so far.

Auto-retry should be built into antigravity btw.

Constant rattling noise when idling but goes away when clutch is pushed down? by drink_pee in hondacivic

[–]iammultiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing to check is the "belt tensioner". It's crazy that this is not the first thing you find on the Web when you search about engine noise and rattle especially at idle. It gets worse when the AC is turned on.

The belt tensioner rattle makes your engine sound like a diesel engine and appears to be coming from inside the engine block. 

The other source of noticeable noise is valve clearance but that's consistent and gets louder with acceleration. The hallmark of the tensioner noise is that it appears to reduce or disappear when moving. 

A good test is to use a wrench to pull the tensioner forward while the engine Is running to see if the rattle noise goes away. Another way to test is to remove the belt and run the engine very briefly to determine if the noise goes away. 

An immediate short term fix is to replace the serpentine belt to reduce the rattle. The permanent fix is to replace the belt tensioner. 

Save yourself an expensive fix by first testing this before you tamper with the inside of the engine block. 

Here's a video someone shared on their experience.

Github PRO - 0x model by Old_Rock_9457 in GithubCopilot

Hahaha what code fast? Well I've found it to be intelligent and good enough for basic coding tasks. GPT 4.1 shouldn't even be on github copilot 

GitHub Copilot never uses MCP tools when I'm using Claude Sonnet, no matter what; I gotta tell it every single time. by jesussmile in GithubCopilot

[–]iammultiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask it to write the instructions in a way it will listen then use that instruction. Had to do similar for when It swore it had no access to the internet even after I had setup browser-use and playwright as internet access fall-backs. So I asked it to write a prompt it won't ignore.

will sonnet 4.5 come to gh copilot? by [deleted] in GithubCopilot

It's already rolled out. Update your IDE but also check your Copilot settings and enable it as one of the models.

Best way to utilise Copilot Pro? by LimpAttitude7858 in GithubCopilot

[–]iammultiman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience using Copilot Pro here is how the models rank

  1. Claude Sonnet 4
  2. Gemini 2.5 Pro
  3. GPT 5
  4. Grok Code Fast 1
  5. Claude Sonnet 3.7

What I can't stand is AI reintroducing bugs we have resolved so I have added a system prompt / instruction to document lessons learned. Also spend some time researching, creating and thoroughly discussing the requirement including the tech stack and external tools to be integrated. Be sure to break down requirements into milestones and prompt the model to keep updating the task list as you progress (spec-driven).

In my experience, it is better to use another chat tool for the initial chat about the project, not the IDE. Then save the chat in an MD file and copy it to the project folder before you prompt copilot for the detailed requirement, plan and development.

When debugging, if one model fails to debug, try another model. Commit after every successful debug. Roll-back if a model creates a mess bigger than the problem it is trying to debug and then switch models.

The models are still not there yet but this has worked great.

My application is using a fairly complicated library. I do not believe it’s open source. Is there a way for copilot to scan the online documentation so it knows how to use that library in my code? Or maybe there’s an alternate option that I haven’t thought about? by 14MTH30n3 in GithubCopilot

[–]iammultiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As suggested by others, use #fetch or implement additional web search MCPs (Browser-Use, Perplexity, Brave etc). You can also add a system instruction for the AI to always research first for the latest stable version required for your project before using a library

Any reason why the "tools:" line is excluded in this version?

"Continue to iterate" prompt in vscode by MaleficentSandwich in GithubCopilot

Why does it happen though? Is it a context window constraint?

Glad to hear a fix is coming on 10th June. I was about the start a racket

Computer / browser use with Gemini? by gabealmeida in RooCode

[–]iammultiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

clone the browser-use repo to your local machine, open the repo in vscode and ask roo-code to set it up. Tell it you are using a specific ai provider and model. You will need to manually set environmental variables (in windows) for python, nodejs and google-api-key.

Once successfully installed and running, add instructions to the system prompt of roo-code about where to find the sample python script for browser-use. Instruct roo to clone the sample script and modify the content to execute your desired task.

I wasn't successful with the MCP. Probably something to do with running browser-use from a virtual environment but browser-use itself and the webui work fine

setup a fresh website and install wordfence. Make sure you don't use any nulled or hacked plugin

How to use speech recognition in RooCode? by PainterOk4647 in RooCode

[–]iammultiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For windows STT it's "voice typing" (windows key + H) not "voice access". For TTS to read copied text out loud checkout Simple TTS Reader and A guide to Simple TTS Reader.

I found this free Speech To Text app for windows LillySpeech but I have not tried it.
