The Art of Questioning ChatGPT: How to Personalise and Improve Your Results

Are you still using ChatGPT as a chat bot? 🤖 Are you tired of scouring the internet for answers to your questions? 🤔 Do you want a faster and more personalised approach to finding the information you need? 🚀


ChatGPT can help you achieve with all those, but did you know it is the quality of the questions and how you ask it that counts? 🤔 I have some tips and tricks to help you ask effective questions and get better answers from ChatGPT! 🔍💡

🤓 5W1H method

This approach is similar to using Google. It helps you get basic facts and understanding. You can always dig into more specifics with follow-up questions.

🎯 Specify objectives

The more specific your questions are, the more detailed answers you'll get. Try incorporating the following techniques in your questions:

• Define the scope, if it is related to a specific field, subject, or data source.

• Provide background by giving context or scenarios.

• Set the key result of what you want to achieve and describe the goal and task.

• Improve output by specifying output format, such as markdown, table, or limiting the number of words. 


For example, you could ask, "From the perspective of neurobiology, using the concepts of dopamine, endorphin, and oxytocin, explain why gamification in education improves learning effectiveness. Please keep the answer within 300 words."


You can also iterate the questions a few times to get to a desirable answer.

🎭 Assign a role

To gain in-depth professional perspectives or advice, you can ask ChatGPT to "role play" a certain profession. For example, you could ask, "As an expert in education, explain how gamification in education improves learning outcomes among students."


You can get direct advice from your business idols, try adding "what would Steve Jobs recommend me to do?" to the end of your question. Or you can add "using the tone of Shakespeare" to get a more poetic answer. Try it and see the difference!

🌡️ Change the temperature 

Funny as it may seem, temperature controls the randomness or diversity of answers.

• A high temperature of 1.0 or above will make ChatGPT more creative. 

• A low temperature of 0.1 or lower will make ChatGPT more conservative.


Here is an example to do that at the end of your question, "use temperature of 0.8" or "temperature = 0.8", and 0.8 seems to be the neutral point.

📊 Personalised training 

You can inspire ChatGPT by providing data samples. These samples can be a range of things:

• A block of text from your own tweet to mimic your writing style. Simply add this to your conversation, "Refer to the following tweet + [your tweet]," before or after your original question.

• A table of contents to ask ChatGPT to provide analysis tasks.

• Data from multiple input streams to let ChatGPT act as your data scientist assistant.

A practical guide to Scala Traits

Trait - has a super class of AnyRef   - uses extends  or with for inheriting a trait ( with to inherit multiple traits)   - defines a type   - can be overridden using override  keyword   Trait vs Interface (Java)   - trait can declare fields and main state   - rich vs thin interfaces (every concrete method added to trait makes it richer)   Trait vs Class   - trait can NOT have any class parameters        trait doesn't support coding in this style: class Point(x: Int, y: Int) - super calls are statically bound in classes, but dynamically bound in trait         super.toString  is predicable in classes, but not in trait when mixing   Ordered Trait   Traits as stackable modifications   - order of mixins: right most trait takes effect first   When to use Trait?   - If the behaviour will not be reused, then make it a concrete class   - If it might be reused in multip...

A Short Guide to AWK

AWK is built to process column-oriented text data, such as tables. In which a file is considered to consist of N records (rows) by M fields (columns) Basic # awk < file ‘{print $2}’ # awk ‘{print $2}’ file file = input file print $2 = 2nd field of the line, awk has whitespace as the default delimiter Delimiter # awk -F: ‘{print $2}’ file -F: = use ‘:’ as delimiter # awk -F ‘[:;]’ ‘{print $2}’ file -F ‘[:;]’ = use multiple delimiter, and parse using EITHER ‘:’ OR ‘;’ # awk -F ‘:;’ ‘{print $2}’ file   -F ‘:;’ = use multiple delimiter, and parse using ':;’ as THE delimiter # awk -F ‘:’+ ‘{print $2}’ file   -F ‘:’+ = use multiple delimiter, to match any number ':' Arithmetic # echo 5 4 | awk '{print $1 + $2}' output is '9', the result of ‘+’ (works as addition) # echo 5 4 | awk '{print $1 $2}' output is '54', to get string concatenation #  echo 5 4 | awk '{print $1, $2}' output is '5 4',...

How to: Add Watermark to PDFs Programmatically using iTextSharp

Being able to add text or image watermark to PDF files is one of those handy things you can archive via program. The only library required for the little program is iTextSharp . For those who haven't used it yet, iTextSharp is a C# version of iText , which allows you to generate or manipulate PDFs. So let's cut the chitchat, and go straight to the code. By calling 'AddTextWatermark' or 'AddImageWatermark' function with required parameters supplied, you are ready to rock! public void CreateTemplate(string watermarkText, string targetFileName){     var document = new Document();     var pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(targetFileName, FileMode.Create));     var font = new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 60, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY);     document.Open();     // Specify font and alignment of text watermark     ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(pdfWriter.DirectContent, Element.ALIGN_CENTER, new ...
