Before you start working, figure out:

1. What does the business want?


2. Which criteria should I fulfill to call my work “good”?


3. What do I need to do to complete this particular task?

After you’ve finished your work, check:

4. Did I miss anything?

t on LLMs and SQL highlighting why they don’t consistently work :

• “LLMs can write SQL, but they are often prone to making up tables, making up field”


• “LLMs have some context window which limits the amount of text they can operate over”


• “The SQL it writes may be incorrect for whatever reason, or it could be correct but just return an unexpected

Fine-tune Llama2 and CodeLLama models, including 70B/35B on Apple M1/M2 devices (for example, Macbook Air or Mac Mini) or consumer nVidia GPUs.

slowllama is not using any quantization. Instead, it offloads parts of model to SSD or main memory on both forward/backward passes. In contrast with training large models from scratch... See more

We identified 30 types of tasks that UX professionals used generative AI tools for in their work. We grouped these tasks under four roles: content editor, research assistant, ideation partner, or design assistant.

• Content editor : Generating and editing text, from microcopy to social media posts, based on specifications or copy given by UX

Giskard is a Python library that automatically detects vulnerabilities of AI models, from tabular models to LLM, including: performance biases, data leakage, spurious correlation, hallucination, toxicity, security issues and many more.

It's a powerful tool that helps data scientists save time and effort drilling down on model issues, and produce... See more

Alex Albert shared 5 architectures for using them in an agentic context:

1. Delegation : Use cheaper, faster models for cost and speed gains.


For example, Opus can delegate to Haiku to read a book and return relevant passages. This works well if the task description & result are more compact than the full context.
2. Parallelization : Cut latency (but not

The problem in this domain is sycophancy.

When you're first learning something, you don't actually know what to look for . You have too many unknown-unknowns, you don't have any wisdom, you have no abstractive connections to make.

The reason LLMs are hazardous during this period, is that they're always going to let you take the lead on everything.... See more

1. Streamlining data exploration and analysis:

• Context-Aware Suggestions: Receive AI-powered suggestions for relevant tools, functions, and libraries based on your specific dataset and analysis goals.


• Contextual search for functions and libraries: Quickly find relevant functions and libraries from various programming languages, such as Python and R,

Medium-term stress can last from several days to weeks. You can use HIIT, cold showers and other programs to increase your stress threshold by disassociating the mind and the body (relaxing the mind while the body experiences stress). By deliberately widening your gaze, you can calm your mind but keep the body output high. A high stress threshold... See more
