@DimejiSz @Delphenee Domain knowledge too. I believe anyone with sound knowledge of their domain should have an advantage in squeezing out what they need from an LLM

Let me explain the difference between traditional and Western medicine with this pepper soup issue.

Let's say a Western scientist heard this rumor. They'd immediately conduct a study with peppersoup and check if it's correct.

Now let's say they actually found a positive result, i.e, it actually worked, they wouldn't stop there.

They'd reason that surely it can't be the whole pepper soup that's responsible for the effect they're seeing. I mean, first of all, pepper soup is almost entirely water. So what is it? Is the meat? Is it the spices?

So they'd split their study into groups. Some would be fed only the meat, some, only the actual soup.

Let's say the soup group came back positive; they still wouldn't stop there. Surely there are over half a dozen spices in pepper soup. Either it's one of those spices that's causing the effect, or the spices are interacting to cause that effect.

So they'd split up the groups again and cook different kinds of pepper soup, omitting each ingredient each time.

Let's say they did this for a while, and then discovered that the effect only persists when three particular spices are combined and boiled. They still wouldn't stop there.

They'd start studying the chemical properties of those spices before and after they've been cooked. What compounds are in one but not the other?

MEANWHILE, while all of this is going on, there would be another research group trying to analyse what actually happens when women are taking this pepper soup. What happens to their blood pressure? their heart rate? What about their blood lipids?

There would be groups taking blood and adding pepper soup to that blood, and looking at it under the microscope.

All these different groups would be firing papers at one another.

Usually, what this leads to is the isolation of a single compound that was actually responsible for the effect THE ENTIRE TIME.

Then once we have the compound, we can start studying its properties, using the research from the peppersoup blood guys. Does this thing accumulate in the bloodstream? Does it trigger immune responses or cause inflammation? Does it degrade into a known dangerous chemical? Does it trigger cancerous cells? That's how we understand all the known side effects.

And the funniest thing is that this compound may also appear in another random place. Like maybe it also comes out as a waste product when refining petrol or some shit.

Then, since we have the compound, we know how it works, and we know it's a byproduct of an industrial process, we start setting up a factory to mass-produce it for the public.

After all this, we have gone from

> Drinking pepper soup to flush things.

to

> Taking a single pill that's 100x cheaper and 100x more concentrated and effective, to do the same thing.

A layman could look at this and be like, "Why the hell are these people using waste product from refineries to us as drugs?" but they wouldn't get it.

They just wouldn't get it.

@tomiwebstr Heard a guy, on a campus, supposedly sophisticated and educated, say,
"There's a queue? That's absurd."

I'm like, What's absurd about a queue?

@JonMiracool Can relate.

I've observed that those who 'fight' to pay less do so because they didn't think the service was worth so much in the first place.

That kind of gig comes with trouble.

@precillieo Built a model once, feature engineering no dey finish. At one point, performance jumped up. Exciting!
Time to test, I realized I needed a feature that wasn't available in the test set.
I had leaked the target into the data while engineering.🤦🏽‍♂️
Excitement deflated.

@Sonless23 That's the education, not the actual passing of the exam, if you ask me.

Completed a project today that failed me out of an interview process a year ago.
Not because it was difficult, but because I didn't have the appropriate tools.
Mixed feelings, but I choose gratitude. I choose to look ahead.

Satan's strategy is simple:

Make righteousness look weird

@bamisaye_funke I'll argue that the teaching on that topic in our community isn't so balanced though.
