I'm not confused I'm saying you're conflating two things - understanding something and being able to perform it in a single pass. Neither llms nor humans have to be able to solve a sudoku puzzle to write code that can. I can be awful at mental arithmetic and write code for a calculator.
- climatologist 3y agoOk, let me know if you can get an LLM to solve sudoku puzzles by prompting it with information on backtracking and recursion.
- IanCal 3y agoNo prompting on backtracking or recursion, that was chosen by the LLM. All I did was tell it to break the problem down and reason about it, then afterwards asked it to write the code. Examples were added by me at the end, from a random sudoku site for "easy" and "hard". https://gist.github.com/IanCal/9817f8b21b2ea6d77940966ee399d2de https://gist.github.com/IanCal/9817f8b21b2ea6d77940966ee399d...
- climatologist 3y agoYou misunderstood what I meant. Prompt the LLM with the sudoku puzzle and ask it to solve it and not write python. Human can do it, LLM can not.
