'I worked for a company that had 1,200 employees. Every one of us had a job to do, all related to providing broadband cable services to residential and commercial customers.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

There’s no doubt great leadership is a delicate balancing act, between the two most important elements of the equation – the business, and the humans who function within it.

Great leaders possess the courage to not only seek out the right decision, but they also understand the importance of giving others permission to do the same.

Sometimes you have to maximize some function where and. Usually, is concave and differentiable, so there’s one unique global maximum and you can solve it by applying gradient ascent. The presence of the constraint makes it a little tricky, but we can solve it using the method of Lagrange multipliers. In particular, since the surface has the normal , the following optimization procedure works: Go one step in the direction of the gradient.
