Sorry, late reply. GPT-4 should cut it for this one. It's beyond my comprehension why it fails. -
@retoor
The file doesn't look ginormous to me. Which API did you try? -
@retoor
That's precisely what I meant :) One will die before developing an addiction.
Cosmetics are usually claimed to keep you young, but you can turn it around, never to become old, and that's where lead and all of its derivatives come in handy. -
Så jävla sant!
-
Probably not quite as addicitve as sugar.
-
Huzza! It finally works to display a sidebar to the right and show the Copilot chat there!
-
For image generation, try ideogram instead. Way more realistic and less generated-looking results.
When it comes to the API, the Assistant API is too slow for any real-time applications. Regular Chat Completion is faster, but not persistent so you need to provide the full context in every prompt = zillions of tokens = darn expensive.
IMHO this tech isn't mature enough for any sensible application just yet. But give it a couple of more years and it will be awesome - just like any new technology, such as cars, computers, batteries or the internet, which were all kind of useless at their early stages. GPT has been around for two years and has learnt to crawl and talk but still, sometimes sucks titties. -
@azuredivay
What are *you* talking about? That's BS, mate. Sure, Firefox and its derivates often come with the combined address box and search box by default, but at least there I have the option to configure it right. There's no way to configure Edge or any other Chromium-based brower to my liking. -

Duck Duck Go -
My bank claims their support are not bots. If they are, they wouldn't pass the Turing test anyway.
-
And once again I got proof that using ChatGPT doesn't increase my efficiency as programmer. It solves nothing, just leads you astray and adds more errors and problems for every iteration.
-
And now my bank has begun using stupid fucking chat bots in their customer service. That's useless. I'd change bank immediately if it wasn't for the lower interest on the mortgages.

The case of that Dutch restaurant sounds plausible. There used to be a Thai restaurant in my town that did the same—charging extra if customers left a significant amount of food on their plates. It makes sense, really. Sure, everyone leaves a bit now and then, but when someone leaves a full or even half a portion, they've clearly overloaded their plate without considering the cost and effort to prepare the food, or the environmental impact. After all, you're paying for "all you can eat", not "all you can eat, plus a portion you can't". -
I love dark chocolate too. So much that my very first "homepage" (as web sites were called back then) was on the topic of chocolate. Another sweet that I use to get a craving for is salt liquorice, very typical to the Nordic countries, while most non-Nordic hate it. I love it but sadly, liquorice is not good for the blood pressure.

@antigermanist That's some interesting cooking/defecating skills your gf has. I've never considered shit as something that could be even remotely delicious. On the contrary.
-
@TerriToniAX
Sadly, it only worked for a while. I believe some group policy or something messed it up, so now everything opens in tabs again. Fuck, Edge is so annoying! -
@divinedragon
Don't get me wrong. I love VS Code. It's the GitHub Copilot plugin that I hate. I've already tried dragging it and no, it can't be dragged the way you can drag the seach panel or any other panel in VS Code. It just doesn't work and GitHub don't bother to fix it. -
The 5 cent extra is totally worth it, for an upgrade to a golden retriever.

@donkulator
*lol* I'm somewhere in between, neither a player nor a complete bozo. I'm a regular bloke, I suppose :) -
BTW, forgot to update that Chat GPT works again in Waterfox. Some temporary glitch, I suppose.

@feuerherz
Ah, but it still behaves like Chrome in other aspects, like opening new windows in tabs instead of windows, and having an "omnibox" (or whatever it's called) instead of a proper address box and a proper search box. So there, that's the answer to why not to use Chromium. -
Thanks for sharing this lovely post about your new girlfriend. Congratulations! It sounds like you've really found the one for you.
I sense that some comments above are a bit scornful. Just ignore them - they are just jealous.
I don't even know you, but I can totally relate to what you're feeling right now. I met my gf when I was 34, and she was 26. So young, but so wise, in many ways more mature than me. And now, 17 years and two kids later, we're still very much in love! 💗
I'm genuinely happy for you and wish you and your new girlfriend a long and happy relationship. -
@feuerherz
Doesn't that behave the same as Edge? -
@Biggy
Thank you so much! 😃 I tried Custom New Tab and it totally solves the problem. You saved my day 👍 -
@Lensflare Well put!
-
Before you ask, I'm only using Edge at work and the only reason I'm using it is that Confluence, another poor piece of software, doesn't work in Firefox. An obvious downside of working at a fairly big company with group policies and such, is that I as an indivual don't get to choose the tools that are best suited for the job. I would begin by throwing away almost everything from Microsoft, Atlassian, IBM, SAP, Adobe and Jabra.

@Root Call me insane, but I just happen to like VS Code and appreciate the built-in AI chat Cursor offers. I don't like CoPilot as much, though, mainly because the chat is shown in the left sidebar, hiding away the explorer, and there seems to be no way to make it show to the right. In addition, CoPilot's support has failed to offer a viable solution to the problem. I remember Vim vaguely, I think I had it on the Amiga. I might have a look at Vim some day.

You mean "Private Window"? I just tried that and no difference. You're right there can be event listeners or some of the ancestors, but I checked that too. The only event listener there is, is DocumentOnLoaded on the <html> element. And that does, in turn, not add any click event listeners. I'm using Waterfox and haven't experienced this sort of problems with Chat GPT before. Perhaps Open AI suddenly decided to block Waterfox out, as it actually works in Firefox. -

You're probably single because you're trying too hard not to be. When looking for love, one tends to be looking for the wrong person and in the wrong places. Stop looking for love and it will strike when you least expect it :)
