I am on the wait list for a month. Can't wait to test this out!!! 🥺

[OrlOnEarth]

I've joined the waitlist yesterday and already have been accepted. Thank you GitHub!

[ShinigamiZone]

Some years ago this video would be a perfect aprils fool joke
Today it is just reality

[cpakken]

Add a way to show a diff of the proposed changes before you merge

I assume the reason why the release of this is so slow is the same reason why GPT-4 and ChatGPT with GPT-4 have the restrictions they have: capacity.
I assume after more hardware and optimizations are added for GPT-4, this will finally be released

Trying to find out if you can select and highlight the context window to be more than just coming from one spot. For instance if I can highlight a function then another one some ways down the page?

I have just started using it today and its extremly contributing to the whole progrmaing exprience, where ever I look answers were there and in once case there was intresting issues which chatgpt4 help out to resolve while debugging a non working plotting functionality whic was part of the code and the "dailoge" between both has help allot to gain more expeirence and confidence

[PatrickDoolittle]

Great presentation. I loved it. Thank you.

[nasunorahl]

I need this in my life right now. I am on the waitlist.

[hillandrewdavid]

started using this today- it's amazing!!!

[edwardwilliams]

How good is copilot at the moment about suggesting arbitrary code that has poor security? If there is a part of your code that has poor security, does copilot suggest correct ways of improving the security?

[curryeater]

How quickly do you plan on expanding the waitlist?

[aaronstanton]

One thing to improve is this port over function, you can see at 2:08 it's brought over the import statement twice

[gangwang]

When I use Copilot, I am using the Windows system. When I type "w" in a file in VSCode, it triggers the input box for Chat. It's quite bothersome because Copilot and Copilot Chat must be installed together. If I uninstall Chat, Copilot will also be uninstalled. This issue has been troubling me.

Just got invited in the beta today 🙇. Waiting for the full release!

[jesush.montero]

I'm looking fortward to testing it out!

[loganhallucinates]

Just got access to the Chat! I found that the response is super fast and has a lower quality (correctness, reasoning) compared to GPT4 for me. I remember you guys mentioned it is powered by GPT4, right? That's weird.

Also, it will be amazing if it can have several files or the entire project as context with a click of a button or something

[shakib_]

does it support with vs code insider? the icon on the left bar does not appearing in my vs code insider version.

[kkb_now_i_have_a_handle]

I cannot see the chat icon even after installing the copilot and copilot chat.

[vitezslavackermannferko]

What about the inline popup input as is mentioned in the docs?
