cooking up stuff

Maybe a bit rare to see cooking advice in a github gist, nevertheless - let's go! (I prefer recipes that do not require a lot of work)

légumes rôtis - roasted veggies (mostly cauliflower)

  • wash two big cauliflower heads, remove the blackened spots
  • separate the cauliflowers into pieces (medium sized, not not too small pieces) and cut off the big stems. pe
  • pot with water: add the cauliflowers and add a teaspoon of salt

Charlie Chaplin movies

learning about Charlie Chaplin

Chaplin managed to create cinema as an form of art! So here I am taking some notes, as I study his work.

Nowadays we have many of his his movies on youtube (as the copyright is expiring, no matter what - when I was a kid any appearance of Chaplin on TV was an event!).

Movies are compressed representation (as compared to books). They use additional visual/audio clues to tell a story - and to create a different kind of experience. Also the dynamics of movie scripts are quite different as compared to storytelling in a book. Someone had to figure out what works and what does not, and that guy was Chaplin (who did not have a formal education in any of these areas...)

  • His early work are two-reel movies. In many of them he is fighting a big bully adversary.
  • This doesn't work will full length feature movies: starting with 'The Kid', and later in all his movies in 'United Artist' - the adversary is something bigger, like poverty in 'the Kid', the system in 'Modern Times', fa

Job hunting tips

/More Eitzes from me, 'Eitzes is billik' - advice comes cheap.../

This gist is my experience. In general: do not trust such advice. Somehow the market tends to change every few years, always be aware of that possibility and be on the look-out.

Kinds of companies to work for

You can work for a big established company or for a startup. With more advanced companies you have a less stressed environment / and a more steady job, kind of.

by Zain Hassan

Module1

RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) gives the LLM direct access to customer supplied documents - specialized knowledge, that wer not art of the training data. Not everything is known during model training, the missing links are

  • private databases (stuff that people/enterprises do not make public)
  • hard to access information

Agentic Workflows course

notes on: Agentic workflows course by Andrew Ng

https://learn.deeplearning.ai/courses/agentic-ai/lesson/pu5xbv/welcome!

Module1

  • the whole thing is about decomposing a workflow into a process with separate stages. A stage can either ask a LLM to do something or call an external tool (DB access, google query, etc)

(example: writing an essay, write outline, research th topic, write the essay)
