The Lineup for the Evening

Talk 1: Debugging your reasoning (and code) with LLMs

Speaker: Jose Quesada

Abstract: You are familiar with using LLMs to be more effective while programming. Probably you get mediocre code quality, and debug it using your best judgment.
The state of the art is moving fast and currently LLMs can self-debug the code they produce (by using the equivalent of rubber duck debugging). So what parts of programming do humans do better than machines? Can you improve these? In this talk I'll make the case that practical reasoning is one of these human advantages, and that you can improve it following a method (asking the assertibility question: 'what argument or evidence would justify me in believing the conclusion?'). We will see examples of how you can use this method to improve your daily life thinking.
Programming has a distinct edge over general thinking - you can run the code and see if the result aligns with your expectations. However, when we're thinking in plain English, we lack this benefit. Throughout this discussion, I'll draw parallels. My hope is that you'll walk away with a practical technique to elevate your thinking.
