The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It is much better than others I've tried.
But it's still very necessary to not trust, and to verify, everything an LLM so confidently says.


For sure. What I like about this one is the citations...it makes it easy to see where it's getting its information, so it really speeds up the validation.

I tried it on a programming problem. I asked for the C structure corresponding to a certain packet type of a communication protocol which is fairly widely used but not really publicly documented. It missed one one-byte field, admittedly one which is not generally used and I think is there mainly for alignment padding. The rest of the answer was correct and comprehensive, with good field names and descriptions. When I asked about the missing field, it apologised (!) and gave me the name and purpose of the missing field. So I couldn't use its response as given, but I'd call it a high quality fail. I added some of its response to the comments in a program I'm working on...but not the code.

Jim
