returning to the scene of the crime

it's been a while since i created a web page. and now im like a returning prodigal son aiming to get back what i lost. getting thru the same process i walked thru back then - studying. i visited few sites ive created and found them to be boring so i wont put their links here. hahaha! then i stumble upon my site(i want to call it that) - http://www.geocities.com/orpheum_ph/ and remembered that i have created something for myself... a tool for web design. something to start with... and i would like to tap my back for that. and so, i decided to get back into blogging and pst this.

hopefully, i would complete my tool and maybe start on a portfolio. wish me luck!

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Using First-Principles Thinking

Instead of just learning how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) works, let's break it down using First-Principles Thinking (FPT) —understanding the fundamental problem it solves and how we can optimize it. Step 1: What Problem Does RAG Solve? Traditional AI Limitations (Before RAG) Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT struggle with: ❌ Knowledge Cutoff → They can’t access new information after training. ❌ Fact Inaccuracy (Hallucination) → They generate plausible but false responses. ❌ Context Limits → They can only process a limited amount of information at a time. The RAG Solution Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves LLMs by: ✅ Retrieving relevant information from external sources (e.g., databases, search engines). ✅ Feeding this retrieved data into the LLM before generating an answer. ✅ Reducing hallucinations and improving response accuracy. Core Idea: Instead of making the model remember everything, let it look up relevant knowledge when needed....

Using AI to Reinvent My Résumé and Try to Land an Interview

Creating a résumé is a tedious job to most. It's hard, time consuming and might even be the cause for rejection-if you don't know what you're doing. Fortunately, there are AI tools out there that created to assist, us humans, in generating résumé. It save's time, effort and you get higher chance of being hired.  But what if you're transitioning to an entirely different role? You don't have experience, no educational background to back it up. and no portfolio to show. What do you do? You come up with something creative. You come up with some that has never been done before. And, just wow them... or at least try. I was messaged in LinkedIn for a position that I was eyeing for in years. The HR guy reached out and we scheduled a call interview. We talked for more than half an hour and I was enlightened that my résumé is lack-luster. I was highly considered but the résumé is not at par because I have no job experience on AI, the certifications we're not included,...

Understanding Prompt Engineering Using First-Principles Thinking

Instead of memorizing prompt techniques, let’s break Prompt Engineering down to its fundamentals using First-Principles Thinking (FPT) . Step 1: What is Communication? At its core, communication is the process of: Encoding thoughts into words (speaker). Transmitting words to a receiver. Decoding the words into meaning (listener). Now, let’s apply this to AI. Step 2: How Do Machines Process Language? A Large Language Model (LLM) doesn’t "understand" words the way humans do. Instead, it: Converts words into tokens (mathematical representations). Predicts the next word based on probability. Generates responses that appear coherent based on patterns it has learned. Thus, prompt engineering is not just about writing sentences—it’s about giving instructions that optimize LLM prediction behavior . Step 3: What is a Prompt? A prompt is just an input instruction that guides an LLM’s response. But at the most basic level, a prompt must contain three thin...
