June 7, 2023 /Technology/ — Spatial computing is a rapidly evolving field that is still in its early stages. As a result, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of what developing web experiences for this environment looks like. However, there are some general principles that can be applied.

One of the key principles of spatial computing is that it is all about immersion. Users should feel like they are actually inside the experience, rather than simply looking at it from the outside. This can be achieved through a variety of techniques, such as using 3D models, spatial audio, and haptic feedback. Continue reading →

June 7, 2023 /Technology/ — ChatGPT is a specific type of generative AI, but not all generative AI is ChatGPT. Generative AI is a broad term that refers to any type of AI that can create new content, such as text, images, or music. ChatGPT is a specific type of generative AI that is designed to generate text that is similar to human-written text.

ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) that was created by OpenAI. LLMs are trained on massive datasets of text and code. This training allows them to learn the patterns of human language and to generate text that is similar to human-written text. ChatGPT is particularly good at generating creative text formats, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. Continue reading →

June 7, 2023 /Technology/ — Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting is a method for improving the performance of large language models (LLMs) on reasoning tasks. CoT prompts encourage LLMs to explain their reasoning process by providing them with a few examples of how to do so.

CoT prompting was first introduced in the paper “Chain-of-Thought Prompting Elicits Reasoning in Large Language Models” by Wei et al. (2022). In this paper, the authors showed that CoT prompting can significantly improve the performance of LLMs on a range of reasoning tasks, including arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning.
