#Direct & Simplification Method

[rigelmejo]

The Nature Method

The nature method textbooks were designed to be read, and if you knew a similar language you were meant to rely on cognates and the pictures to understand the whole textbook. The lessons would gradually introduce new words (around 3000) in context, and new grammar.

I want to share something awesome! A girl tried out the same nature method textbook I did. Her video is short so I recommend just checking it out:

She also linked the nature method resources in her summary, which I will paste below:

Nature Method books (English, French, Italian, German): https://drive.google.com/drive/folder... Similar books for Spanish (for online viewing): https://archive.org/details/pocopocoe... https://archive.org/details/allspanis...   / irish_via_the_nature_method   Audio (English, French, German, Italian): ‪@freetongue‬ Shoutout to Free Tongue for providing all this free, quality audio! French Nature Method playlist:    • Le Français par la Méthode Nature  

I read half of Le Francais par la Methode Nature, years ago, and it helped push me to being able to read graded readers I had and then eventually anything I picked up in French. I loved the book. I loved learning to read BY reading in the language immediately, learning a language BY doing stuff in the language immediately. I love learning through context, so I loved the style of these nature method textbooks and wish there were more modern ones being used. Lingua Latina for Latin is the only nature method textbook I'm sure is still being used in some classes.

I ended up finding print copies of the French version, the Italian version, and a similar styled book called the All Spanish Method.

I used the audio of Le Francais par la Methode Nature made by Ayan Academy on youtube, like her, to work on my listening skills a few years after reading the textbook. I still would like to both finish reading and listening to this textbook. I feel it got me to B1 level and then I just kind of jumped into reading other stuff I was interested in, and my reading skills improved but none of my other skills did lol.

If you like the style of the textbook, I really recommend these nature method textbooks. If you use them, using them the way she describes she studied them in her video is probably the best way. I just read and listened, and it helped my passive skills but I definitely want to go back and do the production exercises one day.

Be aware they're OLD textbooks, 70+ years old at this point, so some information and words may be out of date. I partly read the textbook when I first did because I was curious what differences there were in an older textbook, what things they taught differently, how they spoke about history and values, which is why I have a big collection of old textbooks at home. I'm into looking at that kind of stuff.

(I once had a horrifically bad chinese textbook from right in the middle of the simplification of characters, so some were simplified and some weren't, and the textbook only had a whopping 100 words it taught which really upset me... on the other hand I have an amazing Chinese Grammar textbook from 1930 that uses 了 only ever pronounced as 'liao' and only uses nin for you, but it's grammar and hanzi explanations are some of the clearest I've ever read).

Well the nature method textbooks were used most from 1920s - 1960s, and the older ones are often the Direct Method (mislabeled by someone as Nature Method) which involved a lot of dialogues in the target language but were not necessarily designed to be understandable without a teacher. Nature Method textbooks are designed to be understandable without a teacher, with just the context of the textbook and visuals, and assume the student knows a similar language to the target language already (so it assumes students know Spanish or Italian or French or English or German already).

Nature Method textbooks usually have more context and cognates in the beginning chapters. Direct Method textbooks usually have plenty of dialogues, and sometimes plenty of pictures to teach the words, but ultimately assume a teacher is teaching many words and grammar and so grammar is not explained in the context of long form stories like it is in nature method. I like Nature Method more. Direct method is okay, Poco a Poco is an example of a direct method textbook. Le Francais par la Methode Nature is an example of a nature method textbook.

Anyway I love the nature method textbooks, I wish some newer textbooks were designed in a similar way.

Functions in Socionics — Extraverted Logic

Extraverted Logic according to Aushra Augustinavichiute

Information about actions and deeds, physical activity, the activity of animate and inanimate objects. This perception provides an ability to assess situations one gets exposed to. It determines one’s knowledge of possible methods of action, and an ability or inability to personally come up with such methods. It also determines one’s ability or inability to direct others’ work and to distinguish rational actions from irrational ones.

When this aspect of perception is in the leading position, the individual has an aptitude for planning their own work and the work of others. They have an ability to understand how logical a process is, to adjust others’ workflow in accordance with this understanding, to use the most rational methods of action and to communicate these methods to other people.

Extraverted Logic according to WSS

Aspect: Factually-informed processes. Any working body or mechanism is made up of moving parts that change in their properties. Continuous observation of such processes provides data on how the thing works, its effects and how it can be improved. Such data is factual and concrete, being clearly substantiated in observation. The larger the quantity of data and the more often it is updated, the better the decisions that can be made, increasing the efficiency of these processes.

Metabolism: The individual focuses their attention on figuring out how things work from available factual data. Anything learned is treated as part of an ongoing stream of useful information, through which methods and strategies can be updated to maximise their productivity. In doing so, the person thinks pragmatically, optimising performance by applying well-informed, accurate expertise on the relevant subject, ultimately doing what works best. In doing so, processes are improved and prudent decisions made, the person being competent and helpful to their environment.

Strength: The person is good at taking in large quantities of factual data and understanding how to apply that information effectively. They are capable at problem solving, having a good sense of what works and how something can be made to perform even better. In addition, when encountering a situation where they might be ignorant, the person will know how to find the information they need and will easily update their thoughts and opinions on things as they learn. They will be able to readily explain how things work to others, relaying the facts with confidence, being widely knowledgeable.

Value: The person places importance on doing things effectively for oneself. The individual needs to feel that they are improving, getting better at things in their life through the accumulation of knowledge and experience. Without continuous improvement in some way, they may feel they are being wasteful. They will place an emphasis on communication to accurately inform people in its full complexity, preferring to say only what they know to be factually true and helpful, expecting others to take what they say at face value. They may similarly correct simplification or exaggeration.

Extraverted Logic according to SHS

Calculation of profitable actions; work, benefit, profit, money; automatism, desire to movement; cardiovascular system.

Intellectually: The P-state manifests as prudence, the assessment of benefits, thinking about the appropriate ways to act. Thinking according to the P-pattern proceeds in the form of verbal reasoning according to the formula “if–then.” There are long logical chains of cause and effect. The grammar of such a speech is rather poor, but P-speech is dynamic, differs in lexical diversity, and conveys the developing processes very well.

Socially: A long-held P-state creates an informal role of the group's engine. In the P-state, a person cannot sit idle—they constantly engage in some kind of beneficial activity. It is impossible to rest sitting next to a person in the P-state. With their work ethic, the P-users unwittingly pull everyone who communicates with them closely into their work rhythm. For this reason, workplaces designate such people as official leaders. The second side of the P-role in a team is to be a formal leader.

Psychologically: The communicative aspect of P creates a state of excited motion, a thirst for useful activity. In the P-state, a person experiences a rise in productivity, becomes energetic and purposeful. This state is very energy-consuming, so a person who is in it gets nervous, and has challenges with restraining himself. Any distraction from work is perceived as a useless waste of time and a loss.

Physically: A P-state manifests as a fast movement with a uniformly smooth rhythm. Contractions-relaxations of muscles are subordinated towards one goal, produced in one direction. A person in such a state is quite inflexible and struggles to change direction. Having entered a P-state, a person completely gives themselves up to it, and turns into a kind of machine of productivity. It is hard to get out of this state right away. Once the momentum is gained, muscles continue to contract rhythmically, and limbs continue to move. Strenuous work requires a long time to recuperate energy.

Quote of the Week

After doing a best fit, we found Rust projects were less likely to introduce vulnerabilities than their equivalent C++ projects at all relevant experience levels, but more importantly, we found the effect was most significant for first-time contributors, who were almost two orders of magnitude less likely to contribute vulnerabilities. That is, even though Rust may have a reputation as a harder language to learn, there is a very measurable effect that makes it better for newbies. Reviewers should not have to put as much effort into reviewing code to be confident that someone making their first foray into their project is accidentally adding a vulnerability.

– Justin Tracey on crysp.org

Thanks to Brian Kung for the suggestion!

I feel like a lot of people in various reblog chains of this post have kinda lost the plot, so I'm reblogging this version to bring the emphasis back on the AI "detectors".

Whether something like Grammarly is considered AI or not is a little irrelevant, but most people consider using a spelling/grammar checker to not "count" as AI (despite the fact that you may be able to write out a bunch of nonsense and have Grammarly correct it over and over until it passes as a sentence)

And what a teacher will generally use an AI detector for is to check if the student wrote the paper or prompted an AI to give them a paper. As far as I know, Grammarly can't finish your entire document for you based on prompts (but I haven't used it so feel free to correct me) so I feel like a lot of the notes trying to argue whether it counts as AI or whether auto correct is useless now are just getting away from the point this point was supposed to be making:

You can't trust an AI detection software to accurately predict whether something was AI generated.

And part of the reason for that is that AI-detection software could ALSO be considered a form of AI. It is limited both by the dataset being fed to it to determine whether something is or isn't AI, and by any biases of the human who programmed it. If the programmer writes a program that says "look for anything that isn't perfect English and flag it as AI", they are showing that they don't trust anything written in broken English. I'm not sure why it might flag a word like "devoid", but if the AI detector is looking for patterns amongst known AI samples and the word "devoid" comes up a lot, it might just assume that any text using the word "devoid" has a higher chance of being AI generated.

Let's go back to the Both Of These Are Bad part.

It shouldn't need explaining why AI detectors falsely flagging ESL writers' works as AI is just bad and just contributing to systemic racism, so let's talk about the ways in which it can be harmful to native English speakers.

As stated above, it's interesting that an AI detector might flag words that seem "complex", while much of mainstream writing is trending towards simplification, for better or for worse. It could mean that since a lot of non-AI writing is so simplistic, anything that deviates from that is considered abnormal. Or it could, again, just be a programmed bias of the author of the program. I think this is more the point that thebibliosphere might have been trying to make, not that Grammarly specifically is evil AI that's making everyone write bad, but that a larger cultural shift to more simplistic language is happening and when things like Grammarly tell you to simplify your phrases or an AI detector tells you that your essay was AI generated because you used a big word, it's encouraging this simplification at a much faster rate than if human editors and teachers were directing their writers/students to do so.

Grammar software is perfectly optional for professionals, of course, but if a student is going to fail a class because their essay can't pass an AI detector, well, they can't really opt out of that. They have to change their wording to something that might not be as vibrant as what they originally wrote, or risk failing and potentially worse action depending on a school's plagiarism policies. It's essentially going to train kids to write in specific ways to get around it, and they might not understand why their paper was flagged or what AI even is yet, they're just going to assume that their writing was wrong and needs to be fixed. And let's not assume that only the kids writing their own essays are doing this, either. If kids can write a whole paper using AI and then change a couple of words so that it passes the detector, they're going to do that too!

Again, the point here is that the AI detectors are not infallible, often make racist assumptions, and cannot be the only method used to check whether something was AI generated.

I don't really have a good conclusion because I don't have the answer to this problem, because it goes beyond students in a classroom and you won't always get a document history to check. I just felt like this post was losing it's direction and I needed to clarify it for my own sanity.

Inside ALDI's Counterintuitive Path to Retail Dominance

While mainstream retailers are bound by bureaucracy on top of bureaucracy, ALDI's revolutionary decentralized structure has remapped retail management. This German discounting giant is based on a straightforward yet revolutionary premise: trust your frontline employees. Each store manager is a mini-CEO with the power to make instant decisions on staffing, local promotions, and stock blends without reference to headquarters. Such autonomy enables an agility that corporate-driven chains can hardly get close to.

The evidence is in the figures. In Australia, this de-centralized approach allowed ALDI to identify and exploit local market niches that the Coles-Woolworths monopoly had ignored for decades. Neighborhood managers, with intimate knowledge of their area, could change product ranges overnight to match neighborhood preferences. Where others took weeks to push decisions through tiers of management, ALDI stores were able to shift direction on a dime. This operational flexibility, combined with ALDI's mythical price leadership, allowed the company to capture nearly 10% of the Australian supermarket sector in just 15 years - something that had taken generations of foreign competitors to accomplish.

Cost-Cutting as a Strategic Art Form

ALDI has made operational efficiency a business strategy and a philosophy. The company's "no frills" approach methodically cuts out every unnecessary expense without compromising quality. Where others have enormous middle management layers, ALDI operates with an amazingly flat organization. Where other grocery stores stock 40,000 SKUs, ALDI thrives with just 1,800 carefully curated items. This radical simplification creates efficiencies at every stage of the business.

The company's private label strategy is one example. By focusing on its own brands (which account for about 90% of sales), ALDI does not have to pay the slotting fees and promotional allowances on national brands. Its limited assortment results in each item turning over more rapidly, keeping inventory costs low. Even the stores themselves are efficiency-oriented - typically 30-40% smaller than conventional supermarkets, with plain shelving and minimal ornamentation. These gains aren't just pocketed as profit; they're passed directly to customers, creating a virtuous cycle of value that no one else can match.

The Innovation Paradox: Doing More With Less

Contrary to conventional wisdom, ALDI's price focus stifles no creativity - it nourishes it. Its collaboration with suppliers to build multi-pallet forklift systems transformed food retail logistics. By negotiating the standardization of packaging sizes and carefully placing barcodes with manufacturers, ALDI designed supply chain efficiencies that saved millions on the bottom line.

ALDI's "test in three" new-product rollout strategy is one example of such thinking outside the box. Rather than rolling out new products company-wide, ALDI rolls them out in only three stores. This strategy gains feedback in the real world at low risk. If the product sells, it can be rolled out nationwide. If it doesn't sell, the impact is minimized. This experimental approach in controlled form allows ALDI to constantly innovate without abandoning its stingy operating methods.

Relationship Economics: The ALDI Advantage

ALDI's supplier relationships demonstrate perhaps its most unconventional competitive advantage. While other retailers take short-term profits from suppliers, ALDI builds ten-year relationships on fair pricing and prompt payment. This creates trust that translates into better terms, proprietary products, and collaborative innovation opportunities.

The company's payment policies are particularly significant. Rivals might take 90 days or more to pay, but ALDI typically pays within 30 days. This predictability gives ALDI priority access to the best suppliers and products, even during shortages. Suppliers understand that conducting business with ALDI is an affair of steady business and fair treatment - an elusive item in the competitive grocery industry.

The Asian Challenge: ALDI's Next Frontier

As ALDI casts its gaze east to the booming supermarket industry in Asia, it is tested as never before. The firm's tried-and-true model - limited assortment, private brands, and small-store formats - might have to be modified for markets where fresh food reigns supreme and shopping patterns are quite different from those in the West.

To thrive, ALDI must balance adaptation and discipline. Raising product lines to stock more fresh produce and local staples can attract Asian consumers, but risking the erosion of the operating efficiencies that make the model work. The company's success in meeting this challenge - being loyal to its core tenets but attuning to local market needs - will determine whether it can translate its Western success to the East.

Conclusion: The Lean Retail Revolution

ALDI's story offers more than retail lessons - it's a masterclass in the construction of competitive advantage through simplicity. In an era obsessed with endless variety and constant promotion, ALDI proved that less could be more. Its success contradicts underlying assumptions in retail: that customers want unlimited choice, that shops need to be richly merchandised, that suppliers need to be milked.

As retail enters its next phase - driven by e-commerce, automation, and changing values - ALDI's recipe becomes more relevant. The chain shows how to empower frontline workers, retain supplier relationships, and continue to obsess about the fundamentals in a bid to develop resilience in turbulent times.

For competitors, the stakes are profound. ALDI's growth confirms that lean beats big in today's retail. Companies that are unable to compete on ALDI's cost and operating efficiency basis will be left behind. For ALDI itself, the future lies in continuing to expand its model into new markets and formats without sacrificing the simplicity that brought it to where it is now. If history is any guide, this cautious discounter will continue to surprise the trade and delight bargain-hunting shoppers around the world.

In 2019, ANSI and IESNA jointly released the ANSI/IES LM-79-19 standard, establishing a critical benchmark for the LED solid-state lighting (SSL) industry. Over five years later, in 2025, the lighting industry is once again undergoing a major transformation with the release of the latest version of the LM-79 standard—ANSI/IES LM-79-24—jointly issued by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES). This updated standard provides more precise and standardized methods for testing the photometric and electrical performance of LED SSL products, and is expected to have a far-reaching impact on related industries worldwide. As a foundational standard in the SSL lighting field, the importance of the LM-79 test method cannot be overstated. Globally, it serves as a key reference for energy efficiency certification programs across numerous countries—such as Energy Star, DOE, CEC, and DLC in the United States; VEET and IPART in Australia; ORDINANCE No. 62 and ORDINANCE No. 69 in Brazil; COA in Malaysia; and NOM in Mexico. LM-79 functions as an industry benchmark, measuring the quality of LED SSL products and guiding the direction of industry development. As companies actively respond to evolving standards, professional testing equipment becomes essential. As a leading brand in the industry, LISUN is committed to providing customers with high-quality, high-precision testing solutions. Its LSG-6000 LM-79 Moving Detector Goniophotometer (Mirror Type C), along with the LPCE-2 High Precision Spectroradiometer Integrating Sphere System, demonstrate significant advantages in meeting the requirements of the new LM-79 standard. These advanced systems offer comprehensive and robust support to enterprises striving to stay compliant and competitive. LPCE-2(LMS-9000)High Precision Spectroradiometer Integrated Sphere System The release of ANSI/IES LM-79-24 is expected to have a ripple effect, gradually influencing numerous related certification programs. We will continue to closely monitor developments and provide the latest updates as they emerge. Compared to the previous version, LM-79-24 introduces several key revisions: Normative References: The section on normative references has been revised to reflect current standards. These updates ensure that testing procedures align with the latest technologies and methodologies in the industry, enhancing both the credibility and relevance of test results. Introduction of a New Concept – Photometric Center: The definition section now includes the innovative concept of the photometric center, defined as: “The point in a light source from which the inverse-square law operates most closely in the direction of maximum intensity.” This clarification allows for a more precise description of light source characteristics and introduces a new dimension for in-depth optical performance evaluation. Adjustment to Circuit Capacitance Requirements: The permissible capacitance value in test circuits has been relaxed from “≤1.5 nF” to “≤2.0 nF”. This change likely reflects efforts to enhance compatibility with various circuit types or to accommodate emerging trends in circuit design. Simplified Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Data Collection: The requirement for THD harmonic data collection using 1 MHz instruments—previously mandated to span orders from 2 to 100—has been revised. Now, all instruments must uniformly collect harmonic data from orders 2 to 50. This simplification streamlines the testing process, increases efficiency, and improves comparability across different measurement systems. Enhanced Guidance on Luminous Flux Testing Principles: The standard now includes a detailed explanation of the Integrated Angular Measurements method for luminous flux testing. This addition provides a clearer theoretical foundation, helping practitioners better understand the scientific logic behind the testing procedures and improving accuracy and consistency in measurement. Streamlined Appendices: Descriptions of “Airflow Considerations for Testing SSL Products” and “Power Supply Resistance and Inductance Interval” have been removed from the Annex. These deletions aim to make the standard more concise and focused, reducing unnecessary content and improving usability for practitioners. The ANSI/IES LM-79-24 standard provides clear definitions regarding the scope of applicability for products. LED luminaires, integrated LED bulbs, integrated OLED bulbs, externally driven LED bulbs that comply with the ANSI standard circuit definitions or those specified by manufacturers as non-integrated LED bulbs, as well as LED light engines, are all covered by the standard. However, SSL products requiring external heat sinks, components of SSL products (such as LED packages or LED arrays), and housings or luminaires designed as SSL products but sold without a light source (often measured using relative photometry) are not subject to this standard. In terms of testing parameters, the standard thoroughly considers both optical and electrical parameters. The optical parameters include total luminous flux (lm), luminous efficacy (lm/W), light intensity distribution, chromaticity coordinates, correlated color temperature (CCT), color rendering index (CRI), radiant intensity, radiant intensity distribution, photon flux, photon flux distribution, radiant flux, photon efficiency, and luminous efficiency. These parameters describe the optical performance of the product from various angles and are key indicators for evaluating lighting quality. The electrical parameters cover RMS AC voltage, RMS AC current, AC active power, power factor, total harmonic current distortion, voltage frequency, DC voltage, DC current, DC power, and others, providing an accurate assessment of the product’s performance under electrical drive. These parameters are crucial for evaluating energy efficiency and stability.

It’s an automatic light distribution intensity 3D curve testing system for measuring light. The darkroom can be designed according to the customer’s existing room size. The release of the ANSI/IES LM-79-24 standard undoubtedly injects new vitality and regulation into the LED solid-state lighting industry. This update will affect manufacturers, testing institutions, and consumers alike. All stakeholders need to closely monitor changes in the standard and actively adjust strategies to meet the new requirements of industry development, working together to promote a brighter future for the LED solid-state lighting industry.

The 11 principles of Nazi propaganda created by Goebbels:

1. Principle of simplification and the single enemy. Adopt a single idea, a single Symbol; Individualize the adversary into a single enemy.

2. Principle of the contagion method. Gather diverse adversaries into a single category or individual; The adversaries must be made up of an individual sum.

3. Principle of transposition. Load on the opponent his own errors or defects, responding the attack with the attack. "If you can't deny the bad news, invent others that distract them."

4. Principle of exaggeration and disfigurement. Turn any anecdote, however small, into a serious threat.

5. Principle of popularization. “All propaganda must be popular, adapting its level to the least intelligent of the individuals to whom it is directed. The larger the mass to convince, the smaller the mental effort must be made. The receptive capacity of the masses is limited and their understanding poor; in addition, they have great facility to forget ”.

6. Orchestration principle. "Propaganda must be limited to a small number of ideas and repeated tirelessly, presented over and over from different perspectives but always converging on the same concept. Without fissures or doubts ”. This is also where the famous phrase comes from: "If a lie is repeated enough, it eventually becomes true."

7. Principle of renewal. New information and arguments must be constantly broadcast at such a rate that when the opponent responds the public is already interested in something else. The adversary's responses must never be able to counter the increasing level of accusations.

8. Principle of plausibility. Construct arguments from various sources, through so-called balloon probes or fragmentary information.

9. Principle of silencing. Silencing on issues on which there are no arguments and disguising the news that favors the adversary, also counterprogramming with the help of related media.

10. Principle of transfusion. As a general rule, propaganda always operates from a pre-existing substrate, be it a national mythology or a complex of traditional hatreds and prejudices; it is about spreading arguments that can take root in primitive attitudes.

11. Principle of unanimity. To convince many people that they think "like everyone else", creating the impression of unanimity.

I believe these are the steps the right is positioning itself in. The media is playing soft with hate. Normalizing it

The Foundations of Prompt Engineering: A Beginner's Guide

Effective communication with AI models is a talent that can make a big difference in this rapidly changing field of artificial intelligence (AI). This prompt engineering technique entails formulating queries to facilitate more perceptive and significant answers from AI models like GPT-4. Learning to ask the appropriate questions is becoming increasingly important, regardless of whether you're an interested enthusiast, an aspiring developer, or just someone who finds AI fascinating. Find out more about quick engineering's basis.

Cracking the Code of Prompt Engineering

In essence, prompt engineering is about becoming proficient in the language of artificial intelligence. While sophisticated AI models are brilliant, they need well-written queries to provide the best results. It's similar to giving the AI a detailed plan of your information requirements. Whether you're working on a school or coding project or just interested in AI for its own sake, this ability is vital.

Method 1: It's Important to Be Clear

Writing clear instructions is one of the core components of prompt engineering. Your prompts' accuracy and specificity directly affect how well the model responds. Specific and thorough cues produce more accurate and beneficial responses than general inquiries.

For example:

Perform: "Provide a step-by-step explanation of how photosynthesis works in plants, including the role of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, and the process of glucose and oxygen production."

Refrain from asking, "Explain photosynthesis."

It all comes down to defining your needs, choosing the appropriate language, and organizing your inquiries for optimal clarity.

Method 2: Make Use of Reference Materials

When directed to particular reference materials, the AI's response accuracy increases. Use specific texts or links to direct the model rather than general questions.

For instance:

Say: "Based on the data in this market research report [insert link or text], identify the top three consumer trends in 2023."

Avoid the question: "What are the top consumer trends this year?"

This tactic gives the AI a contextual basis, guaranteeing more accurate and pertinent responses.

Strategy 3: Break Up and Overcome Difficult Tasks

The AI model's accuracy and efficiency significantly increase when complicated inquiries are divided into smaller, more manageable jobs. This approach entails building comprehensive summaries iteratively, piecemeal summarization of lengthy documents, and intent categorization for user inquiries.

For example:

Take action: "Identify whether the user's query seeks information, assistance, or an opinion, then respond accordingly."

Avoid: "Respond to this user's question."

Task simplification enables the AI model to provide more precise and targeted replies.

Method 4: Allow the Model to "Think"

Giving the model instructions to solve complicated problems step-by-step and giving it time to reflect results in more comprehensive and well-reasoned answers. Guide the model's reasoning process rather than looking for quick answers to complex topics.

For instance:

Ask: "Can you explain photosynthesis step by step?"

Avoid: "What's the solution to 2x + 3 = 11?"

A more deliberate engagement is ensured by promoting inner monologues and giving the model time to reevaluate its answers.

Method 5: Systematically Test Modifications

Testing prompt variants methodically guarantees that any changes result in better performance. Check outputs against gold-standard responses to ensure your prompts are working.

For example:

Perform: "Translate this paragraph from Spanish to English, then compare your translation with a professionally translated version to identify any differences."

Avoid the following: "Translate this paragraph from Spanish to English." [without mentioning a comparison with an expert translation]

Your prompts will continuously improve the efficacy and efficiency of AI responses if you test them methodically.

Mastering the Art: Using Prompt Engineering Certification to Unlock AI's Potential

The requirement for people skilled at creating accurate and efficient queries is growing as AI models like GPT-4 continue to advance. The quick engineer course was created in response to this demand, acknowledging the increasing significance of becoming proficient in prompt engineering. 

Anyone, from enthusiasts to future developers, can acquire the ability to interact with AI by enrolling in a quick engineer certification program.
