Really cool article. Definitely takes out a lot of FOMO that I used to have about prompt engineering.

One content question: is there any particular reason for which you use the word blacklist instead of blocklist?

Anyhow, keep up the good work.

Thank you! :)

I've honestly not heard about blocklist before, just blacklists haha. So no reason other than my limited English language knowledge I assume, haha!

I Googled and saw: A blocklist (also known as a blacklist) is a list of items in a set that are not accepted.

So I assume they are interchangeable in some ways? Blacklist was just a way to explain what constrained sampling does with a simple term instead of scientific version by the way, it isn't called that way :)

you got me curious. What's the scientific term for blocklist?

Oh sorry, I meant blacklist (or what you call blocklist) was the simpler term of the scientific term "constrained sampling"! :)

Could've used blocklist or blacklist interchangeably!

While "constrained sampling" sounds cool, I appreciate your effort to make it understandable to everyone :+1:
