@Mmarie is that the one you go by when driving on i70? it's been a while since i've been there

i've noticed that there's a lot of fruitful development around purely treating as black boxes and focusing on prompt engineering + the ReAct pattern. Simply forcing the LLM to draw out it's thoughts over more text increases it's accuracy, and if you also interleave that with input from the user or calls to external services, e.g. Google, you can achieve very interesting results

@mnl so many. What do you want to know about?

The main thing is LangChain https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain

@mnl i originally assumed that the best answers would be in fine-tuning it. But the more I see, it doesn't actually buy you that much and it's really hard. Further, something clicked for me, when we teach kids more complex concepts like math, we also break the problems down, effectively creating a language problem out of a math problem, which is what's going on with Chain of Thoughts. My intuition is that there's a whole lot more we can squeeze out of this without improving the models

@mnl yeah, if we could get something on ChatGPT's level, but running locally, that would be 🔥

@mnl have you played around with vector databases? might be too complex for you, but it's worth thinking about...

alright, i'm gonna say it. ChatGPT is not very good at writing prompts for Stable Diffusion

I have been holding off on posting an post until I felt comfortable in this new-ish medium.

during the day to support my STEM and music habits. I talk a bunch about helping those new to programming and software dev.

No patience for folks being uncool to others that look or live different than they.

I spend a lot of time with and

Always interested in meeting cool people!

@snacktraces regarding symphonic metal, do you do Lorna Shore? They have a bit of the symphonic elements, but maybe less approachable

Most of the middle part of the country would be an intolerable place to be a woman at this point. I left ND after high school and never really went back for much and I used to feel guilty about it but now I just feel bad for the women that are still there without much say in, really anything.

Having once worked there, and knowing what a shell of a "tech" company that place was 15 years ago, I am aghast that anyone is paying any attention to what IBM says about and/or their hiring practices today.

ChatGPT is putting me into this bizarre mindset where i have a ton of single-use bespoke scripts. normally i'd try to organize them, but they're so easy to make that i just delete them and move on

Just joined off of the Priority One, so here's me hoping this post is visible to people. I'm bad enough at Twitter, so this is really arcane to me 😂

@ElDiabloBlanco Welcome! I subscribe to hashtags, like the introduction one you used. Definitely subscribe to hashtags, but also follow lots of people. A lot of people think Mastodon is a lot more engaging than Twitter. It's kinda fun

I hooked the ChatGPT API to speech recognition and now the kids can use it. They’re thrilled, although annoyed that it refuses to tell them fart jokes

my prompt engineering is a bit off. I used to get full 5-6 paragraph stories, but after demanding that it also gives me a caption, it only gives me single paragraph stories.

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

ah, that was an easy fix. I just told it to make it "several paragraphs"

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

ohhh, interesting. My "wrapper prompt" instructs ChatGPT to only include a caption if the prompt is a story. Well, I asked it for a story that was essentially a math problem (3 friends plus 3 divide by 2, etc.) and it seemed to forget that it was telling a story because it didn't include a caption.

So there's been a Bluesky vs. Masto convo in my mentions for the last couple of days, and it's made something very clear.

White men have this strange loyalty to Mastodon but not a better fedi itself. And they project this loyalty onto anyone that even considers Bluesky, no matter what cultural background they come from.

I have my own reasons for not considering Bluesky, but there's this nasty implication that Black and Brown people should be grateful for Masto despite the fact people loyal to that project have repeatedly run us off with no remorse.

This massive cultural gulf is at the core of why the fedi can't get out of its way and be the next evolution on public social media.

There's enough room here for everyone to have their communities, but the willful ignorance that often leads this discussion and projects in the fedi has us running in circles.

kellogh,
@kellogh@hachyderm.io avatar

@Are0h I don’t have any opinions in this area, but I’ve certainly noticed the fedi being very resistant to change, especially (specifically) around race

It’s been 3 years or so since I’ve ridden Amtrak on an overnight route. To kick things back off in a royal way, I’m taking the Empire Builder to Chicago, transferring to the Capitol Limited with a destination of Pittsburgh.

See ya in a while Seattle. 🤙🏻
