It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Since then, there has been an explosion of the productivity culture , where people often work incredibly long hours to show how busy they are and to achieve as much as possible.

When was the last time you were satisfied with your health care? For the majority of Americans, it seems to have been a while. A recent Associated Press survey found that most Americans think that health care in this country is handled poorly. Only 12% of respondents are extremely happy with the state of US health care. This is relatively unsurprising; between rising health care costs and comparatively poor health outcomes , it’s easy to understand people’s dissatisfaction. .
