It's nice! I've actually been using it too, it's a convenient way to get access to GPT-4 for free.
That being said, it doesn't really "kill" Google any more than DuckDuckGo did for me. The barrier to making a Phind killer is knee-high too, so I'd expect things to look very different a year from now. The "search engine killer" mindset doesn't make sense to me in the first place, since both feel like they're good at different things. GPT makes something original that may-or-may-not be correct, DDG helps me find that Mega Man voice line that was bugging me all day.
Maybe I can't get hip to the new hotness, but I think there will always be an unpoachable market for indexing factual information. It might even become more valuable in an age of AI-generated content.
The lack of supporting arguments, not addressing Bing already having GPT4, plus the odd tone of a lot of these comments, makes me feel this is an Astroturf campaign.
Again “doesn’t do what phind does” is unusually vague for Hacker News. I’ll reply with specifics: Bing answers programming questions using gpt4, and will do searches for you to answer those questions.
All the examples on phind.com can be answered with Bing.
Here’s bing’s answer to the first question from phind.com:
> how to expand file system after enlarging EC2 ebs disk?
You can use the Amazon EC2 console or AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to expand the EBS volume that's attached to your instance. Then, you can use Disk Management or PowerShell to extend the volume's file system at the operating system level. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
(if I follow up with “what about for a linux host?”)
To expand the EBS root volume of EC2 Linux running on a previous generation instance, you must detach and then reattach the volume1. After you increase the size of an EBS volume, you must use file system–specific commands to extend the file system to the new, larger size. You can do this as soon as the volume enters the optimizing state. Extend the partition, if your volume has one. Extend the file system2.
Here are some steps you can follow to extend your Linux file system after resizing a volume:
Login to your instance.
Type df -h to list the info about the file system.
Type lsblk.
Check your volume name.
To extend the partition on the root volume, use the following growpart command: sudo growpart /dev/nvme0n1 1.
Check the size again with df -h and lsblk.
After extending the partition, extend the whole filesystem with sudo resize2fs /dev/nvme0n1p13.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
OpenAI (ChatGPT UI) will pivot very soon. The Web Browsing and Plugins is so underwhelming they will have no choice but to let people enter their own API keys and then rely on OpenAI’s vector DB implementation.
I can’t be bothered to write a clickbait blog post about it but I will quote this comment when it does happen.
Codeium is better than ChatGpt in code, and results are very accurate.
Also now they have it instruct
Tuned, very fast response can use In place of ChatGpt for freey.

Could you please elaborate more on the DDG Mega Man part?

phind is really good for certain kinds of programming and IT tasks, i've been recommending it to friends and colleagues for weeks now.
This is good example.
Bing doesn’t do what phind does, and it terminates conversations far too quickly to be useful.

for one thing, Bing AI only runs in Edge, so…

I'm really shocked about how poor ChatGPT's browsing plugin is compared to Phind.com.
It's night and day. ChatGPT does requests sequentially, and something like 80% of them fail!
Most of the times, cgpt’s browser “fails” to click on things…
Anyone uses any other AI tool for programming other than vanilla ChatGPT/GPT4 or Github Copilot?
Poe.com has other tools, I've found that Sage is quiet good.
poe is ridiculously limited and priced: you pay $20/mo or $200/year but you get 600 messages/mo cap on gpt4.
