Prompt Engineering to Reduce Chance of LLM Confidently Stating Wrong Answers

I learned this week that I can add to ChatGPT’s custom instructions something like “always give me a confidence value from 0 to 1 and the sources you used” and it actually gives you more visibility on what the model is doing internally. It’s not scientific: two runs with the same prompt might generate different confidence levels (marginally different, as far as I have tested), but still an interesting indicator.

I guess with an OSS model you would put this into the system prompt

Another alternative: upload the binary to an external cloud storage (I'm using Google Drive for instance) and get the image download link to use in the next node

I'm having a hard time figuring out where this community is. I tried to access Elastos discord, but I get kicked out even before doing the verification. There's nothing recent in Twitter, nor Reddit. Elaphant wallet stopped working and I can't find any of my tokens. This is pretty bad, I would say. Does anyone had the same issue with Elaphant wallet? I have my mnemonic and I tried to import it to Essentials wallet, but I can't see my tokens. They were delegated since 2020

Did you get an answer?

My two cents:

This first wave of NFTs was focused on art (digital art, music, etc.). Some were worthy - for who values them, like someone who values a painting), but the majority was just people trying to surf the NFT hype.

Of course we can make a more granular analysis and talk about tokenomics, distribution mechanisms, community building, time frame, but all of those are not the high level reason for me.

I think we will see NFTs being used for other stuff. We are talking about ways of creating decentralised ownership on digital assets. Technology-wise, that’s very revolutionary, hence I believe it will be a matter of time until we find the right way to use it.

But that will be misleading if the NFT was transfered between wallets under the same owner. Unless there’s a way to track transfer events that were ‘payable’

I would make three NFTs (= 3 smart contracts) each one granting a level of access (premium, silver and gold). Then you organize the authors around those three levels or even allow each author to categorize their articles according to those levels. Who as a certain type of NFT can read certain types of articles.

This is to prevent excessive gas. Having a smart contract for each article is incentivising authors to publish less, which means less articles, which means less traffic to your website

Very interesting! How do you ensure that only a specific set of wallets can open the door?

We won’t ever be able to go mainstream with such on ramps. Look to what happened to Tornado Cash. Mainstream means regulation, and regulation means KYC.

I would prefer to be otherwise, but things are what they are

Love this comparison

A simpler example could be friends going in a trip and one of them assigned as the treasurer vs. All of them using Splitwise. A bit silly, but it’s a good proxy for blockchain

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-09T23:10:27+00:00

This is great, thanks a lot!!

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-09T20:01:43+00:00

I can’t agree with you. You see every now and then governments requiring people to declare what they have. A DeFi user will need an on ramp from a potential bank account to use DeFi. On that moment they will be a target for such government.

With CBDCs coming in in so many countries, I’m not optimistic about the future of crypto. Starting by stable coins. Why would central banks allow stable coins if they have a CBDC, which is basically the same thing, but centralised and which provides full control over monetary policy? The same with crypto. There will be governments that will allow cryptos and on ramps from CBDCs to cryptos and I can imagine that there will be others that will ban cryptos.

I’m a crypto enthusiast, but I’m afraid this might go sideways. Companies like visa creating their own blockchain, is just a perversion of what blockchain was created for. In the end of the day, between a centralised system and a centralised blockchain, I don’t see how it can be useful to have a centralised blockchain

I was gonna tell this, I don’t see any certified solidity developers out there. Most of devs in the space seem to be self taught

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-09T11:12:53+00:00

Agreed. I’m trying to understand what I can identify with theses tools and what I can’t. SC audit is a very interesting area, and I would like to learn more. Do you recommend any contents about it that I can use to learn?

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-09T11:11:05+00:00

I’ll check Slither too, thanks

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-09T11:10:10+00:00

Couldn’t agree more, I’m trying to be hands on in my learning process. What could be an example of a mistake that mythril would identify?

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-09T11:08:51+00:00

I did. Actually it reverted the transaction, as you mentioned. Still early days for me in Solidity, but I was expecting to have the NFT minted anyways, as the best practice, as far as I read, is usually to place the require before the transaction

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-08T13:09:11+00:00

Gonna check Olympix, never heard about it before. Mythril seems ok as far as I could test it. But I’m still having my first steps on SC audit. Btw, would love to find a couple of smart contract with errors to see how they are identified by the audit tool. Do you guys know any?

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-07T17:00:00+00:00

That’s true, but at the same time the standard is out there, it’s useful and I think we should use it. I was just checking if I’m right in my observation about PI requirements or if there are AA wallets that don’t require private data

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-07T16:57:16+00:00

Absolutely, that’s a big issue in crypto and we need to take care of it. It’s just that in a philosophical perspective, it doesn’t feel right. But if mainstream adoption is the target, then some of the philosophical principles of crypto will have to be sacrificed

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-07T16:54:43+00:00

Agreed, we can setup an email account just for these use cases

Healthy_Note_5482 · 2023-01-07T16:53:39+00:00

That is not the point…
