I don’t like how it punishes the user for exploring / not knowing the rules though. When ChatGPT refuses you just edit the prompt and do something else. Any refusal tar pit addressed by forced restarting is downstream of the missing edit button IMO.

Model Scaffolding: Structure First, Implementation Second Approach
By
–
ok i promised screenshots- thread below. its interesting that the model does not attempt to one-shot everything top to bottom. it scaffolds out the structure with a bunch of TODOs at the end, implements basic testing, and then attempts to fix

AI Safety: Teaching Chatbots to Disengage Appropriately
By
–
One smart thing that Copilot/Bing does well is giving the AI the ability to hang up on you. Otherwise, you can end up in a dead-end place where you “offended” the AI which will just keep looping through refusals & recriminations. Clearing the context window is the way forward.

By
–
its totally fair. i actually had the instructor js docs open this morning. i ultimately just wanted to 1) try json mode over function calling, and 2) for this weird usecase i wanted retries to be done clientside as i run into timeout issues otherwise

With long context models like Claude you can send an entire project – spanning multiple files – in a single prompt and then ask questions about it or ask it to rewrite sections of the code for you

My favourite prompt from this post is still the first one. cat files_to_prompt/cli.py | llm -m opus –system 'finish this code for me' Love that we have tools that can do this now!

Logging LLM Prompts to SQLite Database for Analysis
By
–
The thing I like most about using the terminal for this is that my LLM tool logs everything to a SQLite database – I have more than 2,000 logged prompt/responses now from over 100 different models Would be neat to get a notebook to log prompts globally like that as well

Claude 3 Automates Code Testing and Documentation Tasks
By
–
This is probably the most interesting Claude 3 transcript – I pipe in my entire codebase, prompt Claude to "fill out the test_files_to_prompt.py with tests", feed it a test failure for it to fix, then tell it to "Fill out the Usage section of the README"
