"The most important skill in prompting is expertise in the domain you’re prompting for" seangoedecke.com/llms-reward… Sometimes the human is the bottleneck. A good reminder LLMs are a force multiplier if you're skilled and to build this domain expertise if you don't have it yet.

5 years in with F#. Still a pure joy to write - succinct, expressive and powerful.

Today, we're shipping a series of features that move uv beyond a pip alternative, and into an end-to-end solution for managing Python projects, command-line tools, single-file scripts, and even Python itself. A single, unified tool. Like Cargo, for Python. It's very fast.

Elon Musk is, at this point, quite obviously an online far-right campaigner. Those are the accounts he interacts with and those are the messages he transmits. The fact he liked the previous prime minister and despises this one speaks very highly of Keir Starmer.

Apple has some of the best programming talent on the planet & huge R&D. But their system prompts for controlling the AI rolling out to millions are still basically incantations: “You are an expert at summarizing messages.” “Do not write a story that is filthy” LLMs are weird.
