Laut Amanda Askell von Anthropic ist Prompt Engineering mehr als nur Ausprobieren. Philosophie habe ihr geholfen, Anweisungen an KI-Tools klarer zu formulieren.

!!! Ein Grundpfeiler bestehe beispielsweise darin, Ideen klar und präzise zu kommunizieren. !!!

Heated cat bed recommendations? I'm looking for something to put on my home office desk next to my computer, so my cat stops trying to crawl into my lap while I'm working.

Ideally something durable...the first couple beds I got her (years ago) she thought were toys and ripped them to shreds.

Catching a late afternoon December sunset on Hill Lane at Penshaw, Sunderland in NE England.
Visited this location with my camera a number of times in the run-up to the winter solstice, knowing that the sun sets at just the right point of the compass at this time of the year (even captured it in the snow!).
Every time I hope someone will pass by, maybe someone on horseback from the nearby stables, after all, it is a public bridleway.
I'm still hoping!

Tried a C++ IDE called juCi++ because I was fed up with VS Code.

Conclusion: VS Code is not that bad.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

2026 월드컵 축구는 각 절반의 다시 절반에 3분 동안의 '수분섭취 휴식'을 신설한다고 한다. 즉 전후반이 아니라 사실상 4등분. 광고 수익 더 많이 내겠다는 야심은 알겠지만, 경기 흐름이 어떤 식으로 꺾일지는 뚜껑을 열어봐야.
