Finding fulfilling work is a life goal most of us hope and strive for. That said, how we define the word “fulfilling” can vary. For some, it’s money. For others, it’s purpose or security.When it comes to jobs in the prompt engineering field, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that these positions
Read moreThe alchemy of AI: Prompt engineering techniques that will transform your work
In the world of generative artificial intelligence, words hold a great deal of power.While some skeptics still claim that AI is going to replace human writing, those who know the art of strong prompts understand that large language models (LLMs) aren’t a replacement for creativity—they are a tool that will

Diverse, high-quality data is a prerequisite for reliable, effective, and ethical AI solutions.
Read moreGolden powers revisited
Years ago I wrote a post Golden powers are nearly integers. The post was picked up by Hacker News and got a lot of traffic. The post was commenting on a line from Terry Tao: The powers φ, φ2, φ3, … of the golden ratio lie unexpectedly close to integers:

Somebody with good taste could’ve made my website, but then it wouldn’t be mine. My website is ugly because I made it — Taylor Troesh I love weird design ideas. Probably because so much of what we need to do as web designers is, appropriately, somewhat serious. We want things
Read moreNaively computing sine
Suppose you need to write software to compute the sine function. You were told in a calculus class that this is done using Taylor series—it’s not, but that’s another story—and so you start writing code to implement Taylor series. How many terms do you need? Uh, …, 20? Let’s go
Read moreComputing the Euler-Mascheroni Constant
The Euler-Mascheroni constant is defined as the limit So an obvious way to try to calculate γ would be to evaluate the right-hand side above for large n. This turns out to not be a very good approach. Convergence is slow and rounding error accumulates. A much better approach is
