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

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

But this idea that “I won’t settle for anything less than perfect” is really defeatist

We have all interacted with tankies that act like that, but they were never going to vote anyways. For everyone else, not supporting a genocide is not asking for perfection. Characterizing it as such is only going to push those voters towards the tankies.

Both can be true. Biden was improving the economy in places, but many people did not feel the recovery.

Which is more likely: a Tankie being convinced to vote Democrat or the Democratic leadership rejecting genocide? Like yes voter apathy is helping Republicans, but the cure isn’t “voter discipline”, it’s having a party that listens to its constituents.

Arguments like yours helped maga get back into power, and are helping them stay in power.

I was with you until that line. The democrats are responsible for being unpopular, not tankies.

If Republicans start apologizing for their mistakes then we can talk. Never will happen though, best we get is “I was wrong this time but I learned nothing”

Why do you care what tankies think? Do you need their help to win elections?

Cops in my town arrested parents that were handing out water to the students that walked out.

I agree I don’t care much for the jokes from Colbert and Stewart, but I wouldn’t say comedy is the problem. These c9medians seem to think making jokes about hypocrisy is pushing the envelope when its not even the minimum.

The current MAGA “Christians” are like the Pharisees of Jesus’ time. So focused on the law while trying to feel holier than others that they would condemn the savior for healing on the wrong day instead of recognizing the miracle of the healing

Well said. I often say we’re more interested in being proven right then doing actually good. The Pharisees embody that attitude.

Two things can be true. Still shouldn’t hold a teenager wholly responsible for being scammed.

That’s the point. We should not make our children feel bad for not knowing better when we ourselves aren’t doing any better. Show some fucking empathy instead of saying you’re shit out of luck.

I do get therapy, thanks for the concern random stranger. I hope the same is true for you and that you understand that just because bad things happened to you doesn’t mean we should give such things a free pass and make ourselves emotionally unavailable to empathize with our children.

Amazing parenting to let them hurt themselves and their friends because you couldn’t educate them well enough to avoid a scam.

Edit: I am not saying the parent should have educated the child better, I am just saying when you go down this path of “well you should have known better” then the responsibility is on the parents to teach the kids better.

Exhibit A for why everyone needs therapy. I guess it’s little consolation that people reap what they sow.

You know what’s also a learning experience? Getting mugged. I hope you learn compassion before you learn that lesson.
