This is my first encounter with this feature in Microsoft Edge. I got in by sheer accident and decided to try it out. I just posted a few random questions to see the result of the search. It looks great and is a very easy tool to use. It gives results based on its search and nicely summarizes with references. For software developers, it should be very useful. The present embodiment, it is a better tool than Google Search without any AI add-ins. However, Google has come out with its own AI-powered search tool, AI Chatbot called Bard. Bard is also based on chatGPT. ChatGPT is owned by Sam Altman and Microsoft has invested $10 billion into chatGPT.
How do you start the chat?
If you notice the following at the top right of your Microsoft Edge (Microsoft EdgeVersion 111.0.1661.44 (Official Build) (64-bit), you will be able to start the chat.
Question 1. I wanted to find out what version of Microsoft Edge would I be able to do chat. Here is the exact question and answer.
Question 2: I taught courses on SQL Server at the Pacific Center of Advanced Technology Training in Honolulu for many years and I wanted to see how it can leverage the chat.
Here is the exact question and answer:
Looks like it could be a good training and learning tool not only for SQL servers but also for all other kinds of software. At this point, I am not sure it can access an available server via the browser to answer specific questions.
Question 3: How many Vietnamese are in Poland?
The Vietnamese embassy and Vietnamese community leaders in Poland estimate that about **20,000 to 30,000 Vietnamese people** may reside in Poland, although the Polish government in 2002 put the upper possible range at about 50,000². The Vietnamese-Polish community is the fourth-largest Vietnamese community in the European Union, after France, Germany, and Czechia¹.

Question 4: A Windows question:
I just wanted to see what it comes up with.
I have over 100 folders each of which has a single image file. What is the most effective way to retrieve all the images and save them to a single folder?
One way to do this is to make a batch file, which searches recursively for a specific file type, and copy all instances of it to a folder of your choice. This script should do the job for one partition at a time:
```for /R "C:\" %%G in (*.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.gif) do copy "%%G" "E:allPictures" pause```
Another way is to use Windows (File) Explorer. You can search for a specific file type and copy all instances of it to a folder of your choice. Here's how to do it:
1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the location you want to search.
2. In the search box, type `*.<file extension>` (e.g., `*.jpg`) and press Enter.
3. Once the files are visible, press Ctrl-A to select all of them.
4. Drag and drop them to the right location.
This should work admirably!
If you want to look in multiple adjacent folders, you can use Python. Here's an example script that reads multiple images from multiple folders:
```
root_folder = '[whatever]/data/train'
folders = [os.path.join(root_folder, x) for x in ('Type_1', 'Type_2', 'Type_3')]
all_images = [img for folder in folders for img in load_images_from_folder(folder)]
```
I hope this helps!

Question 5: How soon will hydrogen overtake gasoline in the industrial and transport sectors?
It is difficult to predict when hydrogen will overtake gasoline in the industrial and transport sectors. However, hydrogen has the potential to significantly reduce air pollution in the form of greenhouse gases from trucks, buses, planes, and ships⁵. The transport industry should prepare for a hydrogen-powered future².
Hydrogen demand in the transportation and industry sectors is expected to grow, especially from 2025 onward, when more vehicles become available². By 2030, when projects are expected to be transitioning from the pilot stage to commercialization, the most attractive carriers are ammonia and LOHC with a transport cost (excluding hydrogen production) of $2.5-4.5/kg of hydrogen (for 10,000 km)³.
Supplying hydrogen to industrial users is now a major business around the world. Demand for hydrogen, which has grown more than threefold since 1975, continues to rise – almost entirely supplied by fossil fuels, with 6% of global natural gas and 2% of global coal going to hydrogen production⁴.
I hope this helps!

Next was a general question.
Question 6:
Is India a success story?
India is a land of diversity, with people from different religions, states, and cultures. India has been an unprecedented story of success but challenges remain⁵. India is a story of democracy that has beaten all odds, yet it is also a story of unfulfilled potential⁵. There is no dearth of Indian success stories that are keeping up-and-coming entrepreneurs motivated⁴.

Question 7:
Is India a success story looking at world news and not just Indian news sources?
India has been a success story in many ways, and it has been recognized globally. For example, Digital India is a global success story². India's democratic project is a success, and no other post-colonial democracy, with India's level of economic backwardness and social diversity, has sustained an almost uninterrupted democratic run⁹. However, India has its share of challenges, and unless it fixes its institutions, it will not become a developed nation in 25 years¹.

Question 8:
What institutions need fixing for India to achieve guaranteed success?
India needs to fix its institutions to become a developed nation in 25 years¹. The banking system is one of the institutions that need fixing². The union government has revealed a fiscal strategy for growth that seems to comprise three elements: protectionism through tariff hikes, production-linked incentives, and capital expenditure to create infrastructure¹. India has created several democratic institutions, like the International Solar Alliance, Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, NITI Aayog, NCLT, and GST council³.

Question 9:
Why do you say the Indian banking system needs fixing since they suffered the least when two major banks failed in the USA and a major bank failed in Europe?
I apologize for the confusion. I did not mean to imply that the Indian banking system is not doing well. However, the Indian banking system has had far higher non-performing loan ratios than other Asian banking systems since the mid-2010s and Indian banks have had far lower levels of capital³. This has weighed on banks' ability to extend credit because non-performing loans have reduced banks' profitability and risk depleting already low capital buffers³.
