This resonates with me. Sometimes I build up some artifacts within the context of a task, but these almost always get thrown away. There are primarily three reason I prefer a vanil…

I wonder if this maintains the natural language capabilities which are what LLM's magic to me. There is a probably some middle ground, but not having to know what expressions, or i…

amen. i don't really care about style/format. my opinion is that if you care you should automate it.

I've thought about this quite a bit, and think the tech community is going about this wrong. The public doesn't like being told it can't be done, but I can't explain why, because i…
