That's pretty much what a PR description is.
- baq 2mo agoThe difference is an LLM can convert a stream of consciousness into well-formed prose for approximately free; I assume ‘provide some context’ means ‘brain dump’ in the OP

- alecbz 2mo agoThis has unfortunately not been my experience at all. Often LLMs miss or get wrong subtle details when I don't do the pre-work to organize my thoughts well ahead of time (at which point it's unclear how much value they're providing).
- nsingh2 2mo agoWork doesn't start with a PR description though. I'm assuming most people that are using LLMs start with some sort of document (plan, spec, intent, etc) which captures intent. I guess you could also use all the session rollouts saved to disk that were related to that task, and distill them somehow.
- skydhash 2mo agoWriting a paper doesn't start with writing an abstract too, but no one wants to get hit with all the notes that a scientist has collected on his experiments. The abstract is a nice 10-30 seconds explanation on why this paper is worth reading. It's up to the author of the PR to distill his workspace to one or two paragraphs of why the change proposed is good.
