Here's a few:

  - Implement a simple ray tracer in C++ using opengl. Provide compilation instructions for macos.
  - Create a two layer fully connected neural network with a softmax activation function. Use pytorch.
  - Implement the wire protocol described below in Go. The peer wire protocol consists of a handshake followed by a never-ending stream of length-prefixed messages. The handshake starts with character ninteen (decimal) followed by the string 'BitTorrent protocol'. The leading character is a length prefix, put there in the hope that other new protocols may do the same and thus be trivially distinguishable from each other.
  - We are trying to classify the expense account of credit card transactions. Each transaction has an ID, a date, a merchant, a description, and an amount. Use a pytorch logistic regression to classify the transactions based on test data. Save the result to a CSV file.
  - We are configuring settings for a product. We support three products: slow, medium, and fast. For each product, we support a large number of machines. For each machine, we need to configure performance limits and a mode. The performance limits include iops and throughput. The mode mode can be simplex or duplex. Write a protocol buffer for the configuration. Use an enum for the mode.
  - How were George Orwell's works received during his lifetime?

I tried these prompts and the Chatbot always responds that it can't answer... Am I missing some steps?
did you try with a fresh chat session? i just tried and it works fine
And sometimes you get different results for the same prompts, so it's worth tryinv again if it doesn't work the first time.

I asked for jokes this morning and initially it made excuses and wouldn't give me jokes until I tweaked the prompt.

Later I refreshed the chat and pasted in the original prompt and got jokes right away, with no excuses.

(I was asking for jokes on the topic of the Elon Musk Twitter acquisition. My personal favorite: "With Elon Musk in charge, Twitter is sure to become the most innovative and futuristic social media platform around.")

Nice. This should make coding interview take-home tests a bit simpler.
