It's pretty good for brainstorming ideas and it can generate a mindmap in markdown format that you can visualise in tools such as Markmap. E.g. with a prompt like this (works best in v4):
"I'm brainstorming a business venture that is a cross between a boutique clothing store and DIY sewing classes. It’s called Style & Stitch. You can shop for clothes and learn to make your own. Please help me brainstorm some ideas for as a mind map (using Markmap markdown)."
You can ask it to combine ideas from different domains together for extra creativity (above example is output of one such attempt). Often it's not that creative on first attempt but if you prompt it with something like "how about some zanier ideas" it will do better.
I also like to prompt it with "output XYZ .. as a table with columns for X, Y, Z" or similar to get a nice markdown table of its output where it makes sense.
yeah, in the case of the second approach it might have to be more of a dialog than a one of translation from requirements, in the same way you might have a dialog with chatGPT to clear up ambiguity.
I pretty much agree with you. Do you think there would be any value in having some sort of integration that goes the other way - scan existing test suite code and converts to natural language for surfacing to the business?
Devs are already doing this with adding comments with Github copilot .. might be an interesting way to close out the loop without putting too much process in.
From my understanding, Adams is talking about clearly defined outcomes such as "lose 50 pounds" verses targets "get healthier" and is suggesting that it's better to have targets and then devise systems to get you incrementally closer to the target.
In this vein, there's a good quote from Elon Musk in Everyday Astronaut's interview with him at Starbase: "A guided missile is going in the wrong direction at any given point in time, but it course-corrects.
You don't want to be a super precise cannonball when you don't even know where the target is."
1. Yes but there have been the issues with blood clotting
2. I've lost count of the total number of lockdowns across all states but there have been two lengthy ones so far, one in Victoria and one in New South Wales.
3. Plenty. Problem is we've been quarantining international return travellers in hotels close to the cities and it's virtually impossible to not have that leak into the community.
We ordered Pfizer and AstraZenica vaccines but due to the rare blood clot issues in some younger people with AstraZenica, the government restricted that to over 50s.
Then when they realised that we didn't have enough Pfizer being made they tried to say that people under 50 can get it after consulting their doctor but by then they'd scared off lots of people. Pfizer is also harder to administer as it needs special refrigeration equipment.
A lot of people are also hesitant to getting the vaccine, perhaps because until recently most states apart from Victoria hadn't experienced large numbers of cases, deaths or lengthy lockdowns. That's started to change with the spread of the delta variant and more lockdowns etc.
