Prompt engineering has rapidly matured from a niche skill into a foundational competency for anyone leveraging state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) like Claude 4. As LLMs become more sophisticated and widely deployed, the difference between lackluster and exceptional AI interaction increasi...

If you’ve ever typed something into ChatGPT and gotten back a response that felt like it read your mind or totally missed the mark, you’ve already brushed up against the mysterious art of Prompt Engineering. Think of it as the difference between asking your barista for “coffee” versus “a d...

You don’t really notice them at first. Algorithms just hum along in the background, quietly shaping your day. They pick the songs that greet you in the morning, steer you away from traffic jams, and decide which job listings you’ll never even see. It’s like they’re the stagehands of your lif...

So, just to help those people who might lose their SIM card/phone number in the future. With the SIM registration law, losing a SIM card is like a nightmare for people who get their income from legal means. I tried contacting my provider several times and even went to a mall outlet that they have as all their online service desk doesn't offer any help to people who lost their SIM card/phone number. They will require you an affidavit of loss and they will replace your SIM card with a new one. But that was not the answer I was looking for, what if someone already has my SIM and is using it on something scandalous or worse a crime. I wanted it disabled ASAP, similar to how we can call the bank and disable our ATM when it went missing.

Good thing there is a kind soul who commented on my post and gave me a tip to email [email protected]. I have emailed [email protected] and have asked that the number be disabled. I'm waiting for their response.

So my number +639277888578 has gone missing and I’ve been trying to contact Globe for days and I can’t get a hold of them. Their hotline contains pure upselling options with no way to h…
