Need

Convert .mov/.MP4 to .gif

Reason

As a developer, I feel better to upload a short video when I create the pull request to show other viewers what I did in this PR. I tried .mov format directly got after finishing recording screen using Quicktime, however, gif offers preview in most web pages, and has smaller file size.

This is not limited to developer, anyone has this need can use this method to convert the files.

Deploying to Elastic Beanstalk via CircleCi 2.0

I got to here after spending hours trying to deploy to an Elastic Beanstalk instance via CircleCi 2.0 so I thought I'd write up what worked for me to hopefully help others. Shout out to RobertoSchneiders who's steps for getting it to work with CircleCi 1.0 were my starting point.

For the record, I'm not the most server-savvy of developers so there may be a better way of doing this.

UPDATE (March 2020, thanks @ic): I don't know the exact AMI version but yum install docker now works on the latest Amazon Linux 2. The instructions below may still be relevant depending on the vintage AMI you are using.

Amazon changed the install in Linux 2. One no-longer using 'yum' See: https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-2/release-notes/

Docker CE Install

sudo amazon-linux-extras install docker
sudo service docker start

Using MathJax v3 in React

Any improvements or alternative approaches are welcome!

One alternative approach can be found in the CharlieMcVicker/mathjax-react library.

Loading MathJax

It may be possible to bundle MathJax with the rest of your JavaScript, which might have the nice consequence of allowing you to import it instead of using the global MathJax object. But I found it simpler to include the following at the bottom of my html file; this is the common way to load MathJax.

You probably don't know how to do Prompt Engineering

(This post could also be titled "Features missing from most LLM front-ends that should exist")

Apologies for the snarky title, but there has been a huge amount of discussion around so called "Prompt Engineering" these past few months on all kinds of platforms. Much of it is coming from individuals who are peddling around an awful lot of "Prompting" and very little "Engineering".

Most of these discussions are little more than users finding that writing more creative and complicated prompts can help them solve a task that a more simple prompt was unable to help with. I claim this is not Prompt Engineering. This is not to say that crafting good prompts is not a difficult task, but it does not involve doing any kind of sophisticated modifications to general "template" of a prompt.

Others, who I think do deserve to call themselves "Prompt Engineers" (and an awful lot more than that), have been writing about and utilizing the rich new eco-system
