Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

We all know how hard change can be. Whether we like to admit it or not, every one of us performs at least some parts of our jobs on auto-pilot; it's more efficient for our brains to operate that way. That makes it hard to do things differently. When leaders introduce a significant change without a lot of communication around what will be different, why it's happening (including connecting it to something that matters to each member of the team), and how the change will unfold, they shoot themsel

The software packages are BusyCal (from BusyCal, LLC) and Textual (from Codeux Software, LLC). As many of you know, the Mac App Store (MAS) recently suffered an issue due to an expired security certificate , and this caused many MAS apps to have to be re-downloaded or, in limited cases, to stop working (I’m looking at you, Tweetbot 1.6.2).

When people talk about changing the organizational culture, what do they mean? Is that the vision/mission no longer relevant? Does that the values of the organization need to change? Or does that their people need to act or operate differently - and why would that be?

Generally speaking, when launching instances in a cloud environment (such as AWS or an OpenStack-based cloud), the preferred/default way of accessing that instance is via SSH using an injected SSH key pair. There are times, though, when—for whatever reason—this approach won’t work. (I’ll describe one such situation below.) In such instances, it’s possible to configure cloud-init , the same tool used to inject SSH keys, to change passwords for user accounts.
