You should now assume your sources are compromised if you did not expect this
Would be great to have a fixed blockchain based event log, ideally encrypted.

Show HN: Prompts to Reduce LLM Political Bias

Each LLM possesses a unique as sometimes transient political bias, which is problematic for many business applications. Here are prompts I've had success with in reducing this bias. https://github.com/Shane-Burns-Dot-US/Unspun/blob/main/readm...

Re:Ask HN: Would you let AI negotiate a raise for you? on Friday March 15, 2024 @09:13PM (#39722422)
How would you score your ability to negotiate 1 to 10 (10 as the best)?
Which books? Where do I find them exactly? More quantitative than qualitative. More like SEC data.
My brain.
I mostly just want to know how much water/nutrients to provide it and when.

Current Admin = EA ... "'The speed of SEC rule-making has created difficulties for firms. The IAA said the SEC should take a step back from that proposal and work with the industry. “The pace of the rule-making and the complexity of the proposals and how they may interact with each other puts a large burden on the compliance department to be able to practice in a way that is coherent,” Ropes & Gray’s Longo said.'

Visualization never seems to get the credit due in software development. This is amazing.
Re:Ask HN: How can political bias across LLMs be factored? on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @02:45PM (#38464264)
I beleive the model bias is highly influenced by the modelers. See Grok and OpenAI.
LlamaIndex, HuggingFace, LangChain, and Ludwig are functioning as partial proxy aggregators of what is working and working better than alternatives. Most people in this space have multiple models for virtually every step in their heads. You cannot and should not process them. Thus you need aggregation and filtration on some objective(s) and presumptions with a purpose or you're a boat on a turbulent sea.

One simple tool I use to evaluate is how easy is it to spin up a working demo, in isolation or context of other tools, to show the maturity of thought on the idea moving to application. If there is no benchmark on output(s) before you start that is more science/fantasizing than business. but maybe that's your goal, just don't delude yourself in what you're doing. I also look up project leads on Linkedin and such since these things require push and without a good promoter, usually don't pan out(see crypto for example).

Buried lead: I've built a few tools allowing me to parse the tree and graph structures of new projects in charts/schemas to get quick visuals for myself and the LLMs I use to code. Additionally, I have built tooling to test rapidly. For if everything is dynamic, optimizing measurement is quite valuable in and of itself.

Why will function names and variables be named better? Will this also apply to the better code bases?
I think structure will shrink and simplify to fit context window token limits at the expense of developer(human) experience and developer bias.
Problem: How do I give an LLM context of a code repo with a limited token window? Solution: Top-down tree-like map parsing files
Re:Ask HN: Who is responsible/liable for an LLM Output? on Tuesday October 31, 2023 @06:25PM (#38092254)
I am not referencing republishing the output results. That is a seperate act entirely. There are countless examples, particularly in regulated usecases, where threads are audited. Thus, who is liable for the output of the LLM in those threads?
Re:Ask HN: Who is responsible/liable for an LLM Output? on Tuesday October 31, 2023 @06:14PM (#38092158)
I don't understand how a user will be liable when they are receiving non-deterministic outputs and have no objective way to know or control what they receive.

There exists legal precidents for all other forms of software and content production. Why is this different?
