tracecomplete posted:YMMV, but I never use LLMs for code I can’t write, but rather for obvious stuff and tedium that I’d rather have configured to taste instead of finding something and fitting it in. I’m a pretty good developer, but like, I can dictate a problem using Whisper (my hands are beat up, and I’m clearer when speaking anyway) to GPT4 (for personal uses, at work we use self-hosted models, which are much worse) and get something that I can give a quick once-over before integrating. It’s faster for me to review it and “go back and fix XYZ” than to churn out an API endpoint or an ORM call or whatever. I’ve also found that you can make a “custom GPT” and prompt it with stylistically desirable code in ways that all prompts using that have pre-baked, and it’s had the nice side effect of, say, making it super pedantic about quality logging and error messaging. (For getting that as autocomplete rather than a chat interface, I’ve found that Codeium is really good, better than GitHub Copilot, and free to use.) Recently my work gave me github copilot. While I insist everyone should be actually reading what its producing there are some major advantages in just helping not write quite so much rote stuff. Need to filter a collection on two values? You can write out you want do that in a comment line and wait a moment and it'll work that out for you no problem. Typing out some boilerplate that everyone ends up writing all the time ? It'll suggest what it should be, with full context of what names for your current project are. Would I trust it with complex stuff , the actual business logic ? Absolutly Not. You are the programmer, you are responsible and you should be solving the actual problems. But drat if it isn't nice if I can just press tab and copilot just fills in a whole complex object creation in half a second.

Dieting Hippo posted:How are you handling licenses from the code that Copilot uses to generate solutions? I'd imagine any GPL code that gets used to generate code makes it a sticky situation. Theoretically its Not Supposed To Do That. There is actually a toggle in the github project management options for Copilot that lets you toggle is such code is acceptable in a project. In practice I don't know. There certainly have been reports in the past that it was still causing issues with potentially restrictively licensed code being included. That is not really a thing I have control over at my job. Other solutions exists, as I understand it Codeium is generally recommended for not having been trained on any code with potentially licensing issues.

repiv posted:the companies that initially scraped the internet are already resorting to making private deals to acquire more clean data, because they've already exhausted everything that was ever posted to the public internet over the last several decades Turns out you cannot apply "move fast and break things" as a philosophy to things like Society or The Internet because now you've broken the internet. Which is especially funny in a dark hosed up way if your plan was to monetize the internet.
