People who consciously do IF tend to eat healthier, while people who skip breakfast purely because they're lazy tend to eat less healthy food. I don't believe that eating time affects anything. Our caveman ancestors did not eat muesli immediately after waking up, and yet they did not have diabetes.


Asked it if it could search the web and it said yes.

Followed up with "Can you tell me the latest news from Ukraine?" and it responded with "I'm sorry, but I'm a language model and I can't do that"


What happens if you ask it “can you search the web for latest news from Ukraine?”


Sure, here are some of the latest news on Ukraine as of July 13, 2023:

Ukraine's air defenses shot down 20 Iranian-made drones fired by Russia overnight. The drones were mostly destroyed in the Kyiv region. A Ukrainian general confirmed to CNN that Kyiv has received cluster munitions from the US. These munitions are controversial because they can cause widespread civilian casualties. Russia has lost a fifth of the territory it once controlled in Ukraine. This is according to a new analysis by the Guardian. The death toll from the war in Ukraine has reached an estimated 14,400 people. This includes both civilians and military personnel. The NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, focused on aid for Ukraine. The summit leaders pledged to continue supporting Ukraine and to provide it with more military assistance. I hope this helps!


I hope this helps!

To disinform as only CleverBot 2.0 can -- its very helpful indeed.

Russia has lost a fifth of the territory it once controlled in Ukraine.

By comparing ISW maps -- it has easily lost more than 50 percent of the territory it has attempted to seize since February 24, 2022.

If we roll the start date back to 2014 - then we're at something like 45 percent.

The death toll from the war in Ukraine has reached an estimated 14,400 people.

Also way off base. This is getting too easy, so I'll stop now.


It works with this prompt. I guess you have to explicitly state you want it to search the web.


Weird it worked for you and not for me... O.o


Just tried. "I'm a text-based AI and can't assist with that."


It works for me. I wonder if it just passes it through to the search engine in that case - I bet the LLM is not actually searching the web for you.


I asked it if it could use street view, as i was quite impressed by what it could tell from a steet view screenshot. but when i asked it what the view is in a location with street view it got it all wrong.


I feel like if Google really wanted to differentiate itself, it should have never let Bard give that answer. Go all out. The same way Google search always returns something, Bard could too.


> But most apps make this surprisingly hard...

Not sure about other apps, but Google Keep makes it pretty damn simple and efficient


Was rather referring to “knowledge base” apps mentioned in this thread like like Notion, Obsidian, Logsec, Roam, etc.

Keep is quite simple as Is Apple Notes. But these, at least for me, become chaotic quite fast unless I’m very disciplined (and sooner or later there’s a day in which I’m not)


You pretty much summed up the drawbacks of the embeddings approach. In my experience it's pretty hard to extract the relevant parts of text, especially when the text is uniform.


This is great. When do you plan to release the Android version?


Optimistically targeting end of this year, drop your email here and you'll be the first to know when we're live :) https://www.getclearspace.com/#newsletter


This may be a silly question, but I'm not quite getting what all the fuss is about. Let's say your current username is abc#1234. When you get prompted to change your username, you will be able to change it to @abc#1234. You can still configure your server usernames to display only "abc". So what is the exact problem here?


Everyone is not forced to do that. So if someone is faster they get @abc. The current system is one of the better ones in existence because it is equally unfair to everyone.


Makes sense.
