Nope, why would anybody type commands to a machine that does natural language processing? Just tell the thing what you want.

- faeyanpiraat 7mo agoYes, but you gotta learn what is possible. I wouldn't have the thought to say to the machine to compact its context if I didn't know it has context and it can be compacted, right?
- mrtksn 7mo agoGood point, but IMHO the learning material for this should be the basics of LLM.
- rzzzt 7mo agoWhy do I need to tell the machine to compact its context? This feels like homework and/or ceremony.
- thejazzman 7mo agoBecause the machine is a tool and tools use proper and improper usage.
- dsQTbR7Y5mRHnZv 7mo ago"Part of the initial excitement in programming is easy to explain: just the fact that when you tell the computer to do something, it will do it. Unerringly. Forever. Without a complaint. And that’s interesting in itself. But blind obedience on its own, while initially fascinating, obviously does not make for a very likeable companion. What makes programming so engaging is that, while you can make the computer do what you want, you have to figure out how."[0] - [0] https://www.brynmawr.edu/inside/academic-information/departments-programs/computer-science/beauty-programming https://www.brynmawr.edu/inside/academic-information/departm...
