The oracle

The growing importance of context represents the methodological shift from early, heuristic-based prompting to a rigorous framework for large language model interaction. While initial techniques relied on persona-adoption and emotional stimuli, modern models prioritize structured data to reduce ambiguity. We analyze the "3 Cs" (Clarity, Concreteness, and Context) as essential pillars for mitigating hallucinations.

Chaos, drawers, and science

The different types of review designed to manage current scientific information overload are described. The post analyzes the critical differences between narrative and systematic reviews and describes specific methodologies such as scoping, rapid, and umbrella reviews, ultimately providing a guide to selecting the appropriate design based on available resources, time constraints, and the research question.

A very noisy kitchen

Current artificial intellingence tools operate on complex modular architectures that transcend the basic language model. The essential technical components for their coordinated operation are reviewed, starting with the use of embeddings and vector databases as a foundation for semantic search and the implementation of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). Likewise, advanced orchestration mechanisms are examined, such as integrating external APIs, security Guardrails, and the development of autonomous agents and Fine-Tuning processes for specialization in specific domains.

Neither you can

Human cognition is reexamined through the lens of machine learning, proposing stochastic determinism as a technical alternative to free will. By equating creativity with the temperature of generative models and learning with error minimization via gradient descent, it is concluded that biological and artificial intelligences operate under the same fundamental algorithmic logic.

The cursed roundabout

How unmeasured confounding can distort associations in observational studies is reviewed, and parameters to quantify this effect are presented. This article explains how the E-value quantifies the minimum strength that an unmeasured confounder would need to have in order to fully explain an observed effect or make it compatible with the absence of association. Finally, it briefly discusses its extensions to different effect measures and its complementary role to p-values in critical appraisal.
