@techygarg sees a frustration loop when working with AI and identified five patterns to help. Here's the first: priming the LLM with knowledge about the codebase and preferred coding patterns.

@thisisgorilla do you know what the set times are for tonight yet?

The most clearest and crisp explanation, I've ever heard, of how large language models compress and capture a "world-model" in their weights simply by learning to predict the next word accurately.

Furthermore, how the raw power of these base models can then be tamed by teaching them to follow instructions from humans.

We developed a new GP2GP patient record transfers system for @NHSEngland 🏥

The new system will help general practitioners (GPs) in the UK provide improved patient experiences and reduce admin burden by enabling seamless transfer of medical records between healthcare providersWe developed a new GP2GP patient record transfers system for @NHSEngland 🏥

Recently read an article that stated a Release Train Engineer is a critical role for agile teams 🤢

High speed rail built in China in 12 years.

HS2 started in 2009 it won’t be finished till 2042 and will be 8x more expensive than any other Railway in the world at more than £500,000,000 per mile.

It‘s one huge scam.

Imagine how different healthcare would be if you controlled your data. Not locked to a single location, ability to port your care anywhere (within reason), unlocked capacity, choice, convenience.

[Gary McAllister @GaryMcAllister]

Clinically approved and curated Data standards, embedded within systems are the future. But we need the drive to push this agenda forwards. Equally clinical safety standards such as GS1 (it isn't about barcodes!) should be within every organisation.
