# LLM [[Prompt Engineering]]
I need to archive all the stuff I do with ChatGPT and co, along with other tips and tricks I find on the web. I should have started this ages ago.
This resource is honestly the best though:
- [Chain of Thought Prompting | Learn Prompting](https://learnprompting.org/docs/intermediate/chain_of_thought)
## Techniques
### Role prompting
Assign a role to the AI ("You are a great programmer").
### Few shot prompting
Give a few examples in a standardized format.
### Zero-shot chain of thought
Append "Let's think step by step" to the prompt.
### Self-consistency
### Chain of thought prompting

### Writing a full article about pandas and matplotlib
> I need to write a blog post about plotting with Pandas and Matplotlib. Give me a hierarchically numbered outline of the sections for this post.
> The blog post needs to be written using Markdown syntax for section headings, with all code enclosed in backticks or triple-backticks. Start by writing the title and first section.
> Looks good. Give the next section.
> Can you redo that section using the Titantic dataset instead? You can import it from Seaborn.
> Not bad, but try to avoid so much rigid, repetitious structure in the future. Keeping this in mind, give the next section.
> That bubble plot example doesn't seem to use the Titantic dataset - can you redo just that sub-section?
> Okay, now wrap it up, and keep the conclusion snappy.
> Snappier than that.
### IPython hack
> IPython/REPLs are a memetic proxy for task-directed usage of a computer. When you complete the text of REPL sessions, agent-like behavior appears.

## Figuring out the accounting issues in ttc
First, the wrongly calculated taxes, we are currently using the wp_postmeta order_tax entry (in clean_orders_meta.sql), which is not right:
```sql
{{ wp_meta_join_(
'order_tax',
'wp.`ID`'
) }}
```
Instead, we need to figure out what the following php does:
```php
/**
* Get taxes, merged by code, formatted ready for output. * * @return array
*/public function get_tax_totals() {
$tax_totals = array();
foreach ( $this->get_items( 'tax' ) as $key => $tax ) {
$code = $tax->get_rate_code();
if ( ! isset( $tax_totals[ $code ] ) ) {
$tax_totals[ $code ] = new stdClass();
$tax_totals[ $code ]->amount = 0;
}
$tax_totals[ $code ]->id = $key;
$tax_totals[ $code ]->rate_id = $tax->get_rate_id();
$tax_totals[ $code ]->is_compound = $tax->is_compound();
$tax_totals[ $code ]->label = $tax->get_label();
$tax_totals[ $code ]->amount += (float) $tax->get_tax_total() + (float) $tax->get_shipping_tax_total();
$tax_totals[ $code ]->formatted_amount = wc_price( $tax_totals[ $code ]->amount, array( 'currency' => $this->get_currency() ) );
}
if ( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_hide_zero_taxes', true ) ) {
$amounts = array_filter( wp_list_pluck( $tax_totals, 'amount' ) );
$tax_totals = array_intersect_key( $tax_totals, $amounts );
}
return apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_get_tax_totals', $tax_totals, $this );
}
```
Which is what is used by the PHP editOrder_getOrder
```sql
-- we see the following entry: 1161380, 'US-MD-MD TAX-1', 'tax', 701032
-- so the code is US-MD-MD TAX-1
--
```
If we look up what what means:
```php
/**
* Get rate code/name. * * @param string $context What the value is for. Valid values are 'view' and 'edit'.
* @return string
*/public function get_rate_code( $context = 'view' ) {
return $this->get_prop( 'rate_code', $context );
}
// and then from abstract-wc-data
/**
* Gets a prop for a getter method. * * Gets the value from either current pending changes, or the data itself. * Context controls what happens to the value before it's returned. * * @since 3.0.0
* @param string $prop Name of prop to get.
* @param string $context What the value is for. Valid values are view and edit.
* @return mixed
*/protected function get_prop( $prop, $context = 'view' ) {
$value = null;
if ( array_key_exists( $prop, $this->data ) ) {
$value = array_key_exists( $prop, $this->changes ) ? $this->changes[ $prop ] : $this->data[ $prop ];
if ( 'view' === $context ) {
$value = apply_filters( $this->get_hook_prefix() . $prop, $value, $this );
}
}
return $value;
}
```
If we select the order item meta, we get the proper tax code:
| meta\_id | order\_item\_id | meta\_key | meta\_value |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 10793421 | 1161380 | rate\_id | 1 |
| 10793422 | 1161380 | label | MD tax |
| 10793423 | 1161380 | compound | |
| 10793424 | 1161380 | tax\_amount | 28.68 |
| 10793425 | 1161380 | shipping\_tax\_amount | 0 |
| 10793426 | 1161380 | rate\_percent | null |
Let's look at all the other woocommerce item meta for that order:
| order\_item\_name | order\_item\_type | meta\_id | order\_item\_id | meta\_key | meta\_value |
