All that is under the Sun
Welcome back to All that is under the Sun, your friendly guide through the fascinating, and sometimes bewildering, world of Artificial Intelligence. This month, we’re kicking off a brand-new series that gets to the very heart of how AI learns and improves. Think of it as the AI equivalent of a motivational seminar, a Marie …
“If probability is the language of uncertainty, a PMF is its grammar: crisp, discrete, and occasionally punch‑line worthy.” Picture this: You open your favorite generative‑AI app, type “Write me a haiku about mangoes,” and in less time than it takes to blink, a tiny digital poet complies. What sorcery decides which 17 syllables appear? Beneath …

We’re about to embark on a journey into a field that feels a bit like magic, a bit like programming, and sometimes, a bit like trying to teach a super-intelligent alien how to make a sandwich using only interpretive dance. Welcome to the wild, rapidly evolving world of Prompt Engineering! Prompt …
