I'm not OP but I tried to ask it today to explain to me how proxies work, and it felt like it couldn't give me an answer that it couldn't attribute to a link. While that sounds good on paper, the problem is that no matter what you ask, you end up with very similar answers because it has less freedom to generate text. While on the other hand, even if attributes everything to a link, there is no guarantee that link actually says what the LLM is telling you it says, so it's just the worse of both worlds.
ChatGPT on the other hand was able to reformulate the explanation until I understood the part I was struggling with, namely what prevents a proxy from simply passing its own public key as the website's public key. It did so without citing anything.
certainly. Maybe tomorrow I'll make a post laying it out, but here's how I did it.
I did this using cursor. You can use other methods[1], but I'll describe mine.
1. Grab the text contents of a style guide you like (I used Strunk, which is easily available on internet. Use whatever you like.)
2. Paste that into Cursor as a txt file.
3. Paste your target text into Cursor as another txt file.
4. In the AI Pane, switch your model to Gemini 3 Pro (for its intelligence + long context)
5. Prompt it thusly:
""""""""""""
Can you please create a paragraph-for-paragraph rewrite of NAME-OF-TARGET-TEXT using NAME-OF-YOUR-STYLE-GUIDE?
All the original ideas must be maintained -- we are simply trying to create a version that matches the style guide better. The paragraph ordering must be matched.
Please output this in OUTPUT-FILE.txt
Before doing so, I want you to create a todo list (it will be quite long) of the form:
- Convert Book X Part Y
- Convert Book X Part Z
And so on, exhaustively covering all parts.
You will have to view the entire file to do this.
You must ALWAYS output a new part after the old part, never overwrite.
You must always convert a part, output it, and then move on.
Your flow should be:
(1) view NAME-OF-YOUR-STYLE-GUIDE (if they are no longer visible)
(2) view part of NAME-OF-TARGET-TEXT you're converting
(3) output converted part into OUTPUT-FILE.txt
(4) check it off on your todo list
(5) begin next part
""""""""""""
[1] Though I used cursor, you should be able to script the whole "paragraph for paragraph" thing if you wanted to, which I might do later. (If you do this, let me know!)
Thanks for responding so fast and thoroughly! I'll give it a whirl and either post here or else email you from your profile if the reply window times out.
as a nearly perfectly uninformed occasional consumer of space-related articles, I can say it makes a lot of sense (to me) why we'd use something like that to move things around the solar system.
