Yes, code harnesses help by providing deterministic feedback like with a language server and reduce the amount of prompting requirements. I guess I should have led with that example 😅

No, it’s not the same as copying and pasting the TODO into a prompt. Embedding the TODO in code instead of the prompt reduces tokens burned and increases accuracy because it’s observing the TODO in context. Sure you can write more prompting to provide that context, but it still won’t be as accurate. The less context you provide via prompting and instead provide more context through automatic deterministc feedback the better the results

Examples to consider:

A code base with TODOs embedded will make fewer mistakes and spend less tokens than if you attempt to direct the LLM only with prompting.

A file system gives an LLM more context than a flat file (or large prompt) with the same contents because a file system has a tree like structure and makes it less likely the LLM will ingest context it doesn’t need and confuse it

Lastly consider the efficacy of providing it tools vs using agent skills which is another form of prompting. Giving an LLM a deterministic feedback loop beats tweaking your prompts every time

I don’t think it’s important, just like the legality of “illegal humans” is not important to how people are being mistreated. You’re the one bringing up legality in this context.

But please continue to insult me. In the states we have a saying: a hit dog will hollar - behind your anger is a fear and behind that fear is something you love. If you keep it up there will be enough pieces to figure out what is motivating you

“Properly prompting” is to not prompt. A chat interface is the lowest fidelity interface to use with an LLM.

Like when the DoJ doesn’t release the full video of Epstein’s death we get to make any argument we want

New recipe calls to make a stew with the pig still attached to the boot

That’s like me saying what the Nazis did was legal when someone brings up the holocaust. Like what is your point in making this distinction? To show us you understand definitions? Good for you I guess… 🙄

You don’t have to be a tankie to recognize that they are enforcing international law. In that context of a civil war their actions are uncharacteristically peaceful.

The same cynicism that reinforces that mode of propaganda is used at home to justify supporting genocidal candidates.

As someone who gets to interact with the unhoused daily, we’re not putting the mentally ill in prison because we care but because they are bad for business.

“Both sides bad” vibes projected onto geopolitics.

If Israel treated Palestine like China treats the Uyghurs then Kamala would be president.

I think it’s rather beside the point when talking about human rights. Why do you think it is relevant to repeat ad nausea in the context of human rights?

And I will argue that is some very dubious context given how people are being treated. Like people are disappearing and you’re out here arguing they did a crime. Great job. Many of them aren’t even undocumented.

Yes and further up the person was talking about how no person is illegal. So why are you even arguing?

Yes, breaking the law is illegal. Do you understand that doesn’t make the person illegal or even a felon?

Yes, exactly like that. The act is illegal. Not the person. It’s not even a felony for heavens sake.

“fail to participate in the legal system”

Given my own experience with a brother-in-law being deprorted to a country where he cannot legally work, this sounds like a euphemism. We participated in the legal system, lawyers and all.
