Chris’ Corner: Design

Rauno Freiberg wrote an article getting into the CSS implementation of some of the neat features of the most recent Next.js website. Gotta love an article showing off how things work on a really top-notch modern design. Thoughts as I go down the list: • The randomized dots on the

Three advantages of non-AI models

It’s hard to imagine doing anything like Midjourney’s image generation without neural networks. The same is true of ChatGPT’s text generation. But a lot of business tasks do not require AI, and in fact would be better off not using AI. Three reasons why: Statistical models are easier to interpret.

Do large language models know what they are talking about?

Large language models (LLMs) have only just emerged into mainstream thought, and already they’ve shown themselves to be a powerful tool for interacting with data. While some might classify them as merely a really cool new form of UI, others think that this may be the start of artificial general

Eccentricity of bivariate normal level sets

Suppose you have a bivariate normal distribution with correlation ρ where Then the level sets of the density function are ellipses, and the eccentricity e of the ellipses is related to the correlation ρ by Plots For example, suppose ρ = 0.8. Here’s a plot of the density function f(x,

How to Use LangChain’s Output Parser to Tame the Language Model Output

Photo by Digital Content Writers India on UnsplashI have been using Langchain’s output parser to structure the output of language models. I found it to be a useful tool, as it allowed me to get the output in the exact format that I wanted.In this article, I will share my experience of

Build AI Systems Capable of Achieving Any Objective With GPT-4

Image by DALL-E 2The primary issue I’ve encountered while coaxing GPT-4 to handle tasks of increasing complexity lies in determining whether the AI’s method is correct. For instance, while tasking GPT-4 with deploying an Infrastructure as Code project, it may repetitively get entangled in setting up AWS credentials, led astray by
