I had a fascinating conversation with a Christian MAGA supporter on my flight back from a conference. We had a lot in common as big sci-fi nerds. But he also said the world is flat (where does it end then?) and in the nicest way possible told me that I'm going to hell, along with the "homosexuals"

Extremely disappointed by the keynote here at @neuripsconf.bsky.social. When given a chance graciously by the audience member during Q&A if the reason for calling out the Chinese was because this was an exception, the speaker said no it's because the Chinese don't learn morals and values in schools.

Introducing the Prompt Engineering Toolkit
A well-crafted prompt is essential for obtaining accurate and relevant outputs from LLMs (Large Language Models). Prompt design enables users new to machine learning to control model output with minimal overhead. To facilitate rapid iteration and experimentation of LLMs at Uber, there was a need for centralization to seamlessly construct prompt templates, manage them, and execute them against various underlying LLMs to take advantage of LLM support tasks. To meet these needs, we built a prompt engineering toolkit that offers standard strategies that encourage prompt engineers to develop well-crafted prompt templates. It also provides functionality to enrich these templates with context obtained from RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and runtime feature datasets.
