A little insane, but in a good way.

Why this name?

  • Unfortunately the tutorials out there are mostly terrible. I’ve learnt it by experimenting a lot and seeing what worked for me. Some general advice:

    • Subscribe to both Copilot and ChatGPT Plus and try using them as much as possible for at least a month. Some people prefer the former, others the latter, and you can’t know in advance which.
    • Always use the GPT-4 model in ChatGPT but keep in mind that there is a 25 answers/3 hours rate limit. So try to squeeze as many questions and information into your messages as possible. GPT-4 is miles ahead of any other publicly available LLM, including GPT-3.5.
    • Tips for ChatGPT:
      • Give detailed, well-written prompts. Try to describe the problem the same way you would to a coworker.
      • After describing the problem, ask ChatGPT if it needs any additional information to implement the code well. It usually asks very insightful questions.
      • Answer the questions and then ask it to break down the problem into individual functions and then, in separate messages, ask it to implement them one by one.
      • Remember that the context window is limited, after some time it won’t remember the beginning of the conversation so it’s worth repeating parts of the specification later.
    • Tips for Copilot:
      • Write the method signature and have Copilot implement it for you
      • Write a comment and have Copilot implement the corresponding code
      • Paste the code as a comment in a different language, write “the same logic in $lang2” in a comment, and it will translate it from $lang1 into $lang2.

  • GPT-4 is much better at summarizing (or at everything):

    Moderators from r/blind and other communities had a meeting with Reddit representatives on June 16, 2023, to discuss accessibility issues on the platform. The moderators expressed concerns that Reddit’s current focus is on improving accessibility for users, not moderators, and lacks clear timelines for accessibility improvements in moderation tools. They also noted that Reddit seemed unaware of the reliance on third-party apps due to Reddit’s own tools’ lack of accessibility.

    Moreover, concerns were raised about Reddit’s unwillingness to share details about the qualifications of their employees tasked with accessibility, the specifics of their previously performed accessibility audit, and the definition of their term “accessibility-focused app.” Reddit’s lack of full-time employees working on accessibility was another worry.

    Although Reddit seems to be acknowledging and planning to fix known accessibility issues, the lack of knowledge about what they aren’t aware of was disheartening for the moderators. They expressed their frustration over unanswered questions, and emphasized the need for accessible tools to effectively moderate their communities. They remain open to continued dialogue with Reddit to promote a more accessible platform.
