There are plenty of engineering disciplines that need to have statistical approaches to solving problems. Prompt engineering, should be approached by creating benchmark datasets and defining measures of efficacy and reliability. More genera

One of the more effective (but potentially over reaching) parts of EU law is that the governments usually give enforcement powers with discretion on how to enforce them. On the one hand it’s annoying because there are no clear rules for how

I'm buying one. It's cheaper then my 4090RTX+192GB of ram for more performance and model traning headroom. It's also probably a beast for data science workloads.

Yeah i've noticed this a lot with ibis. Coming from pandas, ibis was a bit of a learning curve and the LLMs were very bad at generating correct code. LLM generated pandas code is generally copy-paste-run and it often just works correct

The author disparages ibis but i really think that this is short sighted. Ibis does a great job of mixing sql with dataframes to perform complex queries and abstracts away a lot of the underlyng logic and allows for query optimization. Exam

Look into [Ibis]( https://ibis-project.org/ ). It's a dataframe library built on duckdb. It supports lazy execution, greater than memory datastructures, remote s3 data and is insanely fast. Also works with basically any

As any company reaches scale, they will begin to have negative externalizes due to that scale. It is rational to address these externalities. The author, however, fails to put forward any real criticism of government authorities who: - Have

First get a cheap FPGA and learn verilog. Also I just googled it and Khan academy has a digital logic course. Once he can build a functional ALU in verilog then have him do bigger projects. Digital logic books have lots of projects in them.
