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

Bitcoin Kubernetes Configs

The following guide will walk you through creating a bitcoin full node within GKE (Google Container Engine).

By default Bitcoin ABC is used, however this can be swapped for any other node quite easily.

If you wish to run another version of bitcoind, just change the image reference in bitcoin-deployment.yml. There are tons of images available on the Docker Hub. Better yet, build your own. =)

The source for the included image is available at: https://github.com/zquestz/docker-bitcoin

Start up a container (whichever Linux flavour takes your fancy):

docker run -it ubuntu /bin/bash
docker run -it centos /bin/bash

top: check what CPU and Memory running processes are utilising
ps: see what processes are running
strace: monitor interactions between processes

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.
