Would a typescript discriminated union work, or no? You’d need one field that indicates what other fields exist.

When changing copilot.instructions.md, can I test the changes in the same PR? So if I add a .md file rule to, say, prefer `is null` over `== null`, can I also include a β€œbad” C# file in that same PR for testing? Or will I need 2 PRs (1 to change the .md & 1 to test the new rule) #github #copilot

need to check it out bc I’m trying to get ai agents to find vacation rental houses. I have a list of requirements (date ranges, number of bedrooms, max driving distance, etc) but so far chatGPT, Gemini & Edge’s copilot mode have failed me. They give reasons like can’t automate searches on vrbo

Hmm. I saw two related big busts in the (USA) news recently. I know our HR department is struggling with filling certain positions because nearly all related applicants are fraudulent (such as N Korea state actors).

Two oil rubbed bronze tub spouts, side by side. The new one is 50% longer than the original. The old spout’s diverter stem is chrome, doesn’t match and obviously had been replaced by a friggin amateur

Bathtub/shower diverter no longer diverting. Couldn’t procure just the grey plastic diverter so bought a spout. New spout too long so cut it apart to liberate the grey plastic diverter. Old spout with new diverter works like new, like a pro did this job

A list of about 20 requirements for a vacation rental home.

Here is my prompt. Suggestions are welcomed. Gemini vs copilot vs other? LLM model? Agent mode? Tips?

Thank you in advance.

I need to find a vacation rental for next summer. I’m going to try ms copilot and google Gemini. There are ~15 requirements. Let’s see how this goes. I feel it’s what the tools should be good at.

A residential circuit breaker panel. Tiny switches are adjacent to 3 breakers. The switches are attached to white metal strips. The strips are held in place with 3M Command Hooks. The wires are held in place with blue masking tape. The breakers have red flags attached to the levers so the motion activated camera will detect a trip. The tiny switches make it tough to access the lever and so there is a wire loop pull handle that can be used to reset the breaker

Friend says 3 circuit breakers trip at the same time. Randomly. I dont see a reason so I’m going to monitor them. (a) I installed a security camera that lets me see the breakers & sends movement notifications. And (b) I affixed tiny switches which trigger an audible alarm when a breaker trips. Crude

Update: they are 1/16 inch per foot. What’s interesting is the package nor manual state this detail, which seems odd to me

Interesting read. I liked the discovery aspects of the post. I liked learning about the SDM130M and that it’s not suitable for low power devices. Enjoyed. Thx.

My only thought is maybe it’s newish. And developers need get with the times

Update: HR believes all qualified candidates were from fake profiles - either bots or North Korean state actors. Scam was discovered when HR started phoning candidates & got weird vibes & responses. HR feels part of the issue is the position was advertised as full remote. So good ppl get screwed

HR posted a software developer job listing. They got 4 responses but they believe the applicants are from N Korea and are bad actors. This makes it tough to fill a position. Grr.
