alt Hacker NewsThat's some impressive prompt engineering skills to keep it on track for that long, nice work! I'll have to try out some longer-form chats with Gemini and see what I get.
I totally agree that LLMs are great at compressing information; I've set up the docs feature in Cursor to index several entire large documentation websites for major libraries and it's able to distill relevant information very quickly.
In Gemini, it is really good to have large window with 1M tokens. However, around 100,000 it starts to make mistakes and refactor its own code.
Sometimes it is good to start new chat or switch to Claude.
And it really helps to be very precise with wording of specification what you want to achieve. Or repeat it sometimes with some added request lines.
GIGO in reality :)
