Docs? Is that like a new ChatGPT feature or something?

newIdentity ,

It actually kinda is. GPT-4 has an enormous token size so you can upload the whole documentation of a framework or program and ask it specific questions to it

philm ,

Has it though?

AFAIK it has like 4k tokens which roughly translate to 3k words or something like that.

The API has 8k or even 32k (this model should be interesting for something like that, unfortunately still don’t have access to it…)

So the docs have to be rather short, that it gets all the relevant stuff, or am I missing something?

sheogorath ,

GitHub Copilot just got an update increasing the token to 8k so I think it can be queried to help you with something similar. I haven’t had the chance to test it further after the new update.

I have ADHD and I’ll often find myself spending hours trying to find a fix, finally read the docs, get distracted, go back to finding a fix without the docs, remember that I was in the middle of reading a docs, and repeat

sheogorath ,

I usually get distracted reading one of the different APIs in the documentation and went down on a rabbit hole reading the whole history of some totally unrelated thing that just popped into my head and then realized what I had to do when I was going to bed and I ended up working thru the night.

The other times I got stuck for a couple of hours looking for new themes for my code editor because I didn’t like how my current theme looked.

Oh well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If only this was true.

there's a level of knowledge which only comes from fixing a break

marcos ,

Yeah, the knowledge that 6 hours of debugging can save you from 10 long and extenuating minutes of reading the documentation. That one you can only get by fixing the problem.

acwern ,

Docs can only really help you if your problem is “I have used X from the library Y, yet I do not understand the baseline definition of X sufficiently and this is causing issues”. A lot of problems in practice are much more fundamental than that

You sound like the guy who writes documentation in the form of:

// functionA = is function that does A

yum13241 , in Hi Ricardo

LineageOS?

30p87 ,

It’s from the device help system App from Motorola’s ROM, which is hands down the best proprietary ROM, as it’s basically stock Android + builtin quick actions and gaming mode.

yum13241 ,

I was talking about the way it looked, lol, that explains it a lot.

Now do one with a GI Joe PSA

menzel , in Its not wrong though

What about server site executed code?

You moved the goal post! No fair!

ramjambamalam ,

Metasploit becomes your “decompiler”.

mygnu , in Where did the name Bison come from anyway?

What? and I am a programmer 😅

lemmyng ,

Compiler compiler (cc) -> yet another compiler compiler (yacc) -> bison (because yacc sounds like “yak”)

vzq , in Everybody loves 3d programming till they have to sort the world traingles based the MVP matrix.

I made a pact with myself in 2005 or so that I would never sort triangles by hand ever again. Since then I have been using higher level APIs and I have not regretted it.

ZodiacSF1969 , in You can never really trust someone to turn off the remote desktop connection

I love that show, and Naked Gun. So funny 😂

abbadon420 ,

Everything with Leslie Nielson is awesome. He can only play one role, but it’s the best role.

ZodiacSF1969 ,

He’s a national treasure, always puts me in a good mood.

docAvid ,

He was well known as a dramatic actor before pivoting into comedy. That’s why he got the role in Airplane, they wanted known dramatic actors to play all that absurdity straight. I was just re-reading about it to avoid saying anything dumb in this comment, and learned that when asked about being cast “against type” in comedies, he said that he’d always really been cast against type in his earlier dramatic roles, and comedy was what he wanted to be doing from the start. Glad he got his shot!

JockerBlack , in Confused AI Overlords

Is this a captcha?

kamen , in Its not wrong though

Joke aside, that’s kind of like claiming that any web frontend is open source because you can access the built, minified and often obfuscated source of it.

JockerBlack ,

So true! I have been “hacking” some chrome extensions recently, do you know of a tool for reverse engineering JS?

stevedidWHAT , in Hallelujah

But what about Linux subsystem for windows tho

I think you mean the Windows Linux for Subsystem
