chrono VS transynthetical-engine

I used chrono[1] for my side project and I was struggling with recurrence, nice to see someone is solving it, looks neat!

I Googled "javascript parse relative dates" which brought up this StackOverflow question which mentioned this JS library. Might be worth a look.

The first command we encounter is !days [date] which will give all available days in the month of [date]. Omitting this parameter will use the current month. You can also use keywords like today, next month, March 2021, etc. We use a great NLP Library chrono which is capable of interpreting casual text into JavaScript DateTime objects:

For instance, one of my key dependencies, chrono, is now on v2, whereas my project is on v1. I took a look at the changes and decided an upgrade wasn't worth it:

Here’s an approach to return just JavaScript:

The key is the addition of few-shot exemplars.

I think the two-layer approach is worthwhile if only for limiting tokens!

Here’s an example of what I mean:

By keeping the main discourse between the user and the LLM from containing all of the generated code and instead just using that main “thread” to orchestrate instructions to write code it allows for more back-and-forth.

It’s a good technique in general!

I’m still too paranoid to execute instructions via email without a very limited set of abilities!

Here is an example of some prompt engineering in order to build augmentations for factual question-and-answer as well as building web applications:

Hey Simon! I've been digging your writings on LLMs lately.

I've been having some decent luck with some of the approaches that I've discussed in the following articles and projects:

From Prompt Alchemy to Prompt Engineering: An Introduction to Analytic Augmentation: https://github.com/williamcotton/empirical-philosophy/blob/m...

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter!

Sure you can. The easiest way is to go to https://chat.openai.com/chat and paste in a Wikipedia article.

There are more involved manners like this: https://github.com/williamcotton/transynthetical-engine/blob...

Parsel : A (De-)compositional Framework for Algorithmic Reasoning with Language Models

Here's a notebook with an introduction:

And here's a GUI interface the author has been developing:

I've been working on an augmented large language model that given these few-shot exemplars can build the below fully-functional ToDo App: ==

All of this is still very rough around the edges, prone to errors of various kinds, and generally not ready for prime time, but anyone is welcome to play around with what is there!
