Prompt Engineering

While slurping the much-needed coffee after breakfast, I stumbled upon a video about prompt engineering. This is a new-fangled expression, and had it not been for Large Language Models, I believe the world would have been a much-depressed place. Joking aside, it is a fascinating topic, and the more I delve into it, the more intriguing it became. 

It all began with my heightened curious whether AI could help me improve the languages I speak - primarily English, but I also experimented with French, Spanish, and German. And the more sophisticated my instructions were, the worse the responses from ChatGPT got. I spent hours, if not days, trying to figure out how to create the holy grail of prompts that could fit all my needs, but I failed miserably each time. 

Considering all the tribulations and hardships I had to endure, today's video about prompt engineering proved to be handy. I'm still not a master at crafting meaningful prompts, but I'm getting much closer. It became evident that to utilise this tool accurately and exploit its full potential, additional knowledge is paramount. Fortunately, the internet is a mesmerising source of information; therefore, finding proper resources is only a matter of time and serendipity.

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

My new bridge is in my mouth. It took the doc almost an hour to meticulously and precisely fit it in and cement it. I wasn't allowed to eat for three hours, and I still can't chew anything on the left side of my jaw. However, my dental features are ship-shape-and-shiny. Only one tooth is left: they need to replace the old filling. Once it's done, I'll have a Hollywood-type smile. Before the dental care, I went through the lesson plan I'd prepared the other day for today. When I returned home from the dentist, I took Abby for her afternoon walk and drove to Budapest to teach. Before arriving at where I taught, I popped into a store to buy some "kifli" for later and four "Túró Rudi" to appease my rumbling stomach.  After teaching, I hurried back home, grabbed two "kifli", some butter and plum jam, and ate like a king. It was already pitch dark when we returned from our evening walk with Abby. I hate the early dusks. However, summer tries

Goodbye 2023 - Hello 2024

2023 has been an interesting year for many reasons. There were ups and downs, good and bad times, laughter and tears, but most importantly, us being together. During the last few years, I've noticed that we can overcome any obstacles together, which is a fantastic and soothing thought. Come 2024, for better or worse, together we will solve everything. May the world be a better place in 2024.

GRAZ - day 1 - 🇦🇹

We are in Graz, as Ági’s linguist conference starts tomorrow. We woke up early in the morning. I had to de-ice the cars, which took an hour. Once I finished the job, Ági took Abby to the dog sitter, and I packed my things for the weekend. Abby didn’t want to stay at the dog-sitter - poor thing - but Ági’s callousness conquered her temper tantrum. Travelling to Austria is always a pleasure. The roads were clean, the traffic was not heavy, and taking the scenic route was a brilliant decision. We could have opted for the Balaton route, but the northern direction seemed a better choice. We stopped at an unknown little village, where the shopping mall was phenomenal. We grabbed a coffee and stretched our legs because sitting in a car for hours is not the best thing in the world. Anyway, we arrived at the hotel - which looks great - safe and sound. The room is small but clean, however, the area is a bit dodgy. It’s close to the main train station, which attracts many people, so it is a busy
