Thanks! Checking those out.

I want to have folders with different personalities. And I should be able to start a new conversation in that folder, with that personality. Think instead of one global system prompt, you will have multiple system prompts.

I have been experimenting a lot lately, and I would much rather copy paste high quality output(via providing context) than playing guessing games.

It's not like you have to be coding all the time.

Things will of course change as tools evolve.

Couldn't agree more—it's worth the extra effort to know exactly what enters the prompt. But control isn't mutually exclusive with removing the need to copy/paste. Continue lets you highlight code with perfect precision, and this is much lower effort.

I'd say it is a UX concern. It could show you the things it referenced in the prompt. So you'd only hit enter or customize it if needed :shrug:.

I have 65B running alright. But you'll have to lower your expectations if you are used to ChatGPT.

Yup! I also ran it! It needs lot of prompt engineering though to get anything coherent out of it. I am waiting for instruction tuning[2] next.

Author here. Looks like FRP for the backend. I'll skim over it later.

I thought about doing it, but never really got to it. Similar to what many in the articles have claimed, online dating is really really HARD. So I came to the same idea on my own. Not surprised at all.

Marty Stepp from Stanford had the best videos on this but they took it down from YouTube ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
