As of June 2023, function calling was added to the OpenAI API when using the /v1/chat/completions endpoint in GPT4 & GPT3.5 turbo. Function calling is the ability for developers to describe functions to the model, make calls out to external APIs and infer from input if a function call needs to be made, and if …
I will preface this by saying this is not a brilliant idea, as you lose the benefit of a descriptive model (especially in swagger), and its somewhat brittle if you add more types. Honestly it started as a “It would be nice if I could do this in this scenario..” and just went down the …
We run our own nuget feed via Azure, and despite the user that’s logged into VS is authenticated users are constantly asked to provide their credentials again when package restore is happening. A quick fix below – Mostly so I don’t forget or can forward this to others later. Verify no “out of date” credentials …
This is here mostly for my own reference for next time I need to fix this, but may be useful to someone else. Installing .NET (5, Core, etc.) via the Microsoft Supplied “dotnet-install.ps1″(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-install-script) installs the frameworks fine, but then running .net core code within that windows container would sometimes yield an error like The problem …
More of a note for future me…. Typically in PowerShell when there is a requirement for reading an external file to set parameters, I would read in a file using the Get-Content and converting it to JSON, perhaps something like The problem with this is that if you have a particularly large or complex JSON …
Whilst it’s not a certainty that data will removed from the web, it does happen (See /r/datahoarder and /r/lostmedia). As I get all my podcasts through Spotify these days I have no control if they suddenly pull their account, or stop the show. There are also other use cases, like wanting the offline MP3 to …
Whilst I use GIT for most my source control these days, I still have some projects in TFSVC. On a recent switch of Visual Studio accounts I temporarily lost access to my mapped workspaces as these are linked to the VS logged in user, rather than to the machine. This post will show migrating a …
In an effort to be using Windows Terminal for everything Powershell/Command related these days it occurred to me that I hadn’t moved my VS2019 Command Prompt to Windows Terminal. This meant having to open VS all the time (as well as make sure that the command was mapped in external tools!) (If you need help …
By default, Cypress will support a single configuration based on the optional file cypress.json as described in their documentation here. Whilst this works fine for most, it would be great if we could have access to a cypress.dev.json for local development, or even better, a whole host of configuration files for use against a multi-tenant …
Cypress (Cypress.io) is an automation framework for web app testing built and configured with Javascript. Automated front-end testing is definitely not new, but Cypress really is something different. It’s silly fast, requires almost no setup, has quick-to-learn syntax and has a really nice, feature packed test runner. Why Cypress? I’ll let you read the summary …
