A true living sculpture, the Braided Madagascar Dragon Tree brings instant graphic elegance to your décor. Its meticulously intertwined stems rise to crown the plant with clusters of thin, arching leaves in a deep green highlighted by delicate purple-red edges. Robust and highly adaptable, this architectural specimen structures any space with a unique exotic refinement.
Characteristics
- Foliage: Deploys long, slender, flexible, and pointed leaves in dark olive green, neatly margined with rich burgundy red.
- Trunk: Features multiple artisanally braided stems, forming a spectacular single trunk that gains texture and character over time.
- Habit: Upright and architectural silhouette, topped with wispy heads of foliage evoking the look of a modern palm tree.
- Light: Thrives in bright indirect light, yet adapts remarkably well to lower light conditions and medium shade.
- Usage: Stands out as a headline floor plant, highly sought after for its air-purifying qualities and outstanding durability.
Use
- Style & Placement: Feature it proudly as a statement piece in a living room corner, welcome guests in the entryway, or add professional life to an office.
- Decorative Benefits: Its braided silhouette is beautifully enhanced when paired with a large, sleek decorative pot featuring a contemporary or minimalist design.
Care & Success
- Watering: Water moderately. Allow the potting soil to dry out almost completely through the container before watering again. This plant is sensitive to overwatering, which causes root rot.
- Potting Soil: Requires a loose, light, and perfectly drained soil mix. A standard indoor potting soil amended with perlite or pumice is ideal.
- Repotting: Repot in the spring every 2 to 3 years. Because it is slow-growing, top-dressing (replacing the top layer of soil) is often sufficient for mature specimens.
- Grooming: Simply remove lower leaves as they naturally turn yellow over time to keep the trunk clean and maintain a sharp profile.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced green plant fertilizer at half strength, once a month from March to September.
- Toxicity: Keep out of reach of pets (ingestion of the leaves can cause digestive distress due to saponins).

A wonderful primer for those discovering the amazing world of generative AI
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Somewhere in the past year, ChatGPT has gone from "cool, interesting, amusing" to a massively valuable work assistant capable of writing Python scripts, analysing data, and doing lots, lots, more. The key to this? The rapid evolution of OpenAI's GPT models and making my first forays into prompt engineering.
If I thought I was getting good, though, this book took me reminded me that I'm just scratching the surface. Halfway through the first chapter I was already furiously scribbling notes in the margins for what I could do better with my prompt writing and by the end of the text I felt like I had gotten a very good grounding - not just in GPTs specifically but in the bigger picture of how these hugely powerful tools were trained and came to maturity.
I imagine that few will argue with my assertion that there is lots of hyperbole and "noise" in the AI space right now which, as ever, makes it hard to pick out the signal from the noise. Which is precisely why I sought out an O'Reilly title and I'm very glad that I did.
Thorough, excellent, and I hope that this edition will be the first of many. As this rapidly maturing field scales and matures I think that prompt engineering will be an essential discipline to master. Pick up this text to get a good foothold on things.

Understanding AI prompts as a science
Format: Audiobook
Prompt engineering is the art and science of finding the right words to generate the right responses from artificial intelligence (AI). It's becoming a skill in-demand in today's workplaces. It's also becoming an essential skill for life. To understand prompt engineering, you must understand how AI tools understand their inputs. This book explains that to you in many forms.
It covers prompting as it intersects all the major AI disciplines, like general prompts (as in a ChatBot), fine-tuning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It also introduces how prompting intersects a couple of image-generation tools.
As a scientist, I appreciate the theoretical approach to these practical matters. Too many people are hacks at AI these days, and any technical understanding can rapidly advance an individual's effectiveness. Prompt engineering is often made fun of as a "soft" topic, but as this book demonstrates, it intersects all the major AI areas. Presumably less garbage in means less garbage out. This book shows how you can make that take place.
As typical for O'Reilly materials, this book appeals to people who desire an intermediate-to-advanced understanding of how AI works. It's not for the casual user. Anyone technical involved in professional knowledge generation using AI can benefit from understanding the dynamics "under the hood." It's a good, though perhaps not ground-breaking, textbook for those of us unable to take a class in the subject. Prompt engineering may be a soft topic to many, but books like this ground the field in the science that can make or break a digital or software product.

Comprehensive Guide with Practical Insights
Format: Paperback
This is a solid book for understanding the art and science of working with LLMs and other generative AI models. I always struggled with getting the output I was looking for, and wasn't sure how best to "ask" the models for what I wanted. This book did a great job of laying out the strategies and practical guidance to craft the prompts. There were a lot of tips and tricks, but the overall understanding and framework around prompt engineering has been super useful.

A must read!
Format: Paperback
Hands down, the best book on prompt engineering and implementing LLMs. Really enjoyed Michael and James deep dive. Whether you're technical or not, this book is foundational to a deeper understanding in how to properly explore and implement LLMs.
