To be pedantic, these types of prompts work best when in first-person/roleplaying. So the "perfect" prompt here would be something like, "I'm a dog and I just ate 20 grams of salted sunflower seeds with the shell on

It's way better than the Google MD problem that previously existed. I had Claude analyze a blood panel and provide potential diagnoses, medications, dosing and contraindications for a fairly esoteric condition. It gave me the questions

As part of a previous job I needed to audit internal AI usage from a largely non-technical employee population. The prompts were, predictably, really bad. Broken English, sentence fragments, vague requests, lack of context. Yet somehow, the

One of the most satisfying and useful applications for AI is handing it the URL for a recipe (replete with 8 paragraphs of useless introductory text, 2 paragraphs dedicated to how to refrigerate the meal, 9 inline advertisements and a mid-s

Remember in 2023 when people thought "prompt engineering" would be the new software engineering and invested tons of time into learning CoT, ReAct, thread-of-thoughts, etc? Those were mostly obviated by reasoning models and harnes

The globalists had no problem selling out our manufacturing to China, now they are crying because China can provide a cheaper service. The globalists of old would happily hand AI dominance to China in exchange for a decade or two of short

US banks would be prohibited from processing payments for those model providers, and those model providers would update their EULAs to prohibit American-usage. Look at how online poker was "banned" in 2011. It was and always has b

Zitron thinks capex is a liability that needs to be paid off in a year instead of a long-standing asset. Similarly he thinks that an investment into an AI startup is also a loan that the startup needs to pay back out of their own revenue,

The Lambda-SQS poller will slow down in response to the lambda's error rate for this exact reason. Note that this can cause issues: say you have a time sensitive application that receives a batch of "bad" messages which cause

These jingoistic platitudes are getting so heavy-handed that I legitimately can't tell if this is satire.

You're confusing the discussion by trying to force the "leader" terminology. That term does not appear in the BTC whitepaper and the protocol's approach to consensus is different than a traditional leader elected system.

There can be honesty even if they are playing it safe: Just state plainly that the data is inconclusive, things are moving quickly and this is the best estimation they currently have. Spewing out patronizing misinformation (see the FDA&#x27

Lambda does provide a level of convenience via abstraction that EC2 doesn't: just provide inline code, an S3 hosted zip file or, recently, an ECR image and it's off and running. I doubt this is a difference marker for most medium

I can't think of any reason outside of product positioning. A lot of the novelty of Lambda is its identity as a function: small units of execution run on-demand. A Lambda that can run perpetually is made redundant by EC2, and the opini

It's a sexist term that degrades the countless amounts of female Bitcoin investors as well as those who identify as trans or POC. I'm surprised it's allowed on HN.

You might feel the stakes are higher than other people, just like there are people who probably elevate issues like, say, gun control to a similar level of urgency. That's the whole basis for discourse in a society. If it was truly tha
