Its outage shows me how much I now rely on ChatGPT during novel programming. I've been smashing that refresh button like a lab rat with a pellet lever.

https://phind.com is up and running if you're looking for a replacement.

Disclosure: I'm a co-founder.

i am confused.

i ask phind questions and it says its using phind v8 model in the responses.

i go to click subscribe and it says "30 best model uses per day (GPT-4)"

phind seems like its as good (if not better) than GPT-4 for my particular uses, so... im wondering... how can i subscribe to the phind v8 model? what does the 15 / month tier get me if i dont care about gpt4?

The Phind Model is unlimited for free. We're working on revamping our subscription plans to offer higher-speed inference on a dedicated H100 cluster for Pro users.

ok that is .... im kind of dumbstruck. this product is absolutely incredible, its like Jarvis from Iron Man but its free?

Thank you

Quick Question -- The tutorial says:

"The Phind Model is not currently supported in Pair Programmer mode."

... but I'm able to select "Pair Programming" and choose the Phind model at the same time in the user interface. Is the tutorial simply out-of-date?

Ah good catch, we do need to update the tutorial. Thanks!

I asked it to write an elasticsearch query for me and it worked, thanks!

Love phind.com. U guys are great

Anecdata: phind was just as good if not better than GPT-3 (I don't pay for GPT-4, so not sure how it compares there).

i pay for GPT-4 and (for my limited uses) it is actually better, because it has the 'sources' on the right side of the screen. the font and colors are also nicer.

i have asked GPT-4 how it knows certain things and it is like pulling teeth trying to get it to admit where it got information.

this is me but worse.

i have it set as my new tab page.

in my line of work i write a lot of reports. i have a great prompt now that i can use that i just paste in along with my rough and very crappy notes and it turns it into near perfect report.

crazy how much a new tech has become so indespensible so fast.

I can fix your shift key!

It is mentally harder to type prose without caps, post a full stop/period than not. You even use full stops/periods! ... and new lines.

Don't torture yourself so ... it's just down to the left ... yes ... the one with the up arrow ... oooh, caress me gently at first ... yes ... yes ... oh god ... shift is soooo pushed down ... please caress "I" ... oh yes [etc]

Anyway. "AI" isn't indispensable at all. I don't whitter on about my sodding huge De Walt wrist wrencher - its just a tool.

I'll never forget the first time I vapourised a chunk of concrete with my gimlet gaze. I really did! OK it was a sample in an electron microscope and I focussed in a bit too close. That was 1990. In 1999 I helped an employee of a helicopter factory get an Excel based "neural network" spreadsheet to work. Hopf (something) networks were all the rage. I could go on.

Please find your shift key.

If English is not GP's first language, it's quite possible his mother tongue has precisely the opposite rules regarding capitalization, especially when writing to someone. While it wasn't hard to switch to capitalizing `I', it took me years to stop writing `You` in emails. In Polish, "ja" (I) is always[1] lowercase, while "Ty" (you) is capitalized if it refers to the recipient of the message.

   Hi, i hope You've been well...

Was something I wrote quite often by reflex in the beginning.

[1] Unless it's the first word of a sentence.

You can't talk it up like that and not share your spells...

Same. It’s insane how fast reliance builds up

Bing Chat, which uses GPT-4 is still available and working.
