This New Prompting Technique Makes AI Outputs Actually Usable

TL;DR Structured meta-prompting is a technique that dynamically generates JSON schemas for solutions before performing tasks.

Even worse, the results are often not repeatable, complicating downstream processing...

TL;DR This blog will show you how to run automated end-to-end Playwright tests for your React app with Headless Chrome on Heroku.

By @alvinslee [ 12 Min read ]

Poll Of the Week

How concerned are you about the impact of AI-driven cyberattacks?

AI technologies are increasingly being used both to defend against and launch cyberattacks. While AI can enhance security through automated threat detection and response, it can also be weaponized by cybercriminals to create more sophisticated and hard-to-detect attacks. AI-driven cyberattacks can include malware attacks, automated phising attacks, deepfake-based social engineering tactics, and more.

Very concerned, and it'll only get worse!
Somewhat concerned, defensive cybersecurity is just as good!
Not concerned, it will never outpace defensive cybersecurity.
Don't think its a significant risk, we have biggers problems.
