Conceptually, our framework uses neural networks - specifically LLMs - at its core, and composes operations based on task-specific zero-shot or few-shot prompting. [2/n]

We are excited to present our work, combining the power of a symbolic approach and Large Language Models (LLMs). Our Symbolic API bridges the gap between classical programming (Software 1.0) and differentiable programming (Software 2.0). GitHub: github.com/Xpitfire/symbolic… [1/n]

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives. It began with a heart attack 🧵

Wow. Rude @lufthansa phone support hanging up on us when we ask to speak to a manager in 5th+ call with them today. Great customer service, especially after messing up two flights in a row due to tickets not being issued 😭 😡 – at Kensington, London

Why would I pay GitHub $100/year for an AI to tell me what code to write when men do it for free?🤔

It was such a huge honour to speak about engineering growth at #JSNation and #ReactSummit last week and to hear all of your personal stories afterwards ❤️ Felt so good to meet so many new people, and to see old friends again after years of only chatting online 🌈 – at Kensington, London

Avg recruiter: “I’ll reach out 3x over a week to see if they’re interested!” Next level recruiter: “I’ll reach out FOUR TIMES without once mentioning compensation!” Muhahaha 🦹 When does this officially become harassment? – at Kensington, London

I'm so proud to have worked with such an incredible and talented team on bringing this new format to Spotify. Special shout out to @mrleeward for not ignoring me when I ask him to make sense of my work and to the entire @spotifydesign team for being amazing collaborators 🙏

Weird… I’m used to it hurting a bit every time I leave Austria again, but I didn’t expect to feel the same leaving Stockholm after a week of vacation. Hope to be back again soon ❤️
