Neat idea, but some of it is made out to be unnecessarily complex and esoteric.
E.g. giving it your name, and now it becomes 'aware' of your name. I guess in normal programming that would be like saying once you declare your variable the program is 'aware' of it. It's not wrong to say that, but unnecessarily makes it more complicated. The tacking of multiple such instances makes the overall post more complicated than needed. The core idea is neat though.
- vineyardmike 3y agoThey explain why this is different (and more complicated) - emphasis added: > Thus, for example, if you evaluate x = 5 in an input cell, then subsequently ask for the value of x, the result will be 5 wherever in the notebook you ask—even if it’s above the “x = 5” cell And > successive chat cells are “aware” of what’s in cells above them. But even if we add it later, a cell placed at the top won’t “know about” anything in cells below it. Surely this is because the OpenAI api is chat based and they need to evaluate that chat in-order. it does seem like an inconvenient interface for programmatic LLM generators if you don’t want a chat UX.
