thedayisntgray··on ReAct – Implemented in Ruby (wink) – English is the new programming language
Agreed! That's the beauty of it!
thedayisntgray··on Create AI Agents in Ruby: Implementing the ReAct Approach
It's written in english. The prompt that is.

Langchain and Langchain.rb are both using this prompt to get the LLM to do what they want. You can build an app in anything and that is great news!

thedayisntgray··on Create AI Agents in Ruby: Implementing the ReAct Approach
I've been frustrated by the fact that people still believe that python is some sort of magical default to build LLM apps. It's not. English is the new programming language.

White paper for reference: https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03629

Notice how the prompt used in Langchain (python) https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/blob/d21a494a27639...

Is the same as it is in Langchain.rb (ruby) https://github.com/andreibondarev/langchainrb/blob/6fc2b962c...

thedayisntgray··on ReAct – Implemented in Ruby (wink) – English is the new programming language
This also happens to be the same prompt in langchain.

This is an implementation of this white paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03629

thedayisntgray··on Thoughts on C# and .NET
Oh sweet, thanks bpicolo, I hadn't thought about that! I'll check that out.
thedayisntgray··on Thoughts on C# and .NET
I had an internship where we worked with C# and .NET, and recently i inherited and application written on this stack. I would say I much rather would develop in Rails.

Why?

Currently, I don't have a ton of time to maintain the app and I was hoping to migrate it off of aws (since I don't have a ton of aws experience and mostly don't want to mess with it/ manage it) so I was looking to deploy on heroku which doesn't support C# as of now. - https://help.heroku.com/PAT3YEDU/does-heroku-support-net-app...

If you get past my gripe, I think it's much harder for new developer to pick up.

I think Ruby/Rails and Python/Django were created specifically for developer happiness and ease respectively.

I don't think it's going to be easy to manage this asp app (even though it isn't a large code base) Simply due to the fact that there is a lot of stuff I feel like I'll need to catch up on. When I look at other apps written for the web I find them to be "easier", whatever that means.

thedayisntgray··on Ask HN: What Skills to Acquire in 2020?
Marketing is a big one for me. Building a great product means nothing if you can’t reach your target audience.

And I don’t mean learning how to used Facebook or Google to run ads, I mean the theory behind marketing.

I would like to read more books similar to the 22 immutable laws of marketing by Al Ries and Jack Trout

thedayisntgray··on Cathy O’Neil on Weapons of Math Destruction
This is an interesting read that is related. I wonder if she covers this specific topic in her book in her book https://www.propublica.org/article/machine-bias-risk-assessm.... Machine bias in prison sentencing.
