Prompting Fundamentals and How to Wield them Effectively

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Writing good prompts is the most straightforward way to get value out of large language models (LLMs). However, it’s important to understand the fundamentals even as we apply advanced techniques and prompt optimization tools. For example, there’s more to Chain-of-Thought (CoT) beyond simply adding “think step by step”. Here, I’d like to share some prompting fundamentals to help you get the most out of LLMs. Aside: By know we should know that we need reliable evals before doing any major prompt engineering. Without evals, how would we measure improvements and regressions? Here’s my usual workflow: (i) manually label ~100 eval…

stp2y0 CommentsNews

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> India is known for its semiconductor design expertise, which has been successfully nurtured since the 1980s. However, manufacturing capability and capacity has been limited despite having built a fab as far back as 1983 in the form of Semiconductor Complex Limited (SCL), established by M.J. Zarabi, considered one of the pioneers of the current chip industry in India. The geopolitics of recent years have changed that inertia in developing the manufacturing ecosystem, and now there are several active efforts to build that capacity and resilience in the electronics and system…
