ERRONEOUSLY CARRIED-OUT ACTIONS

I love when I work on one demo, hit an issue, discover something else, and get joyfully distracted into learning something completely different. In this case, it was a suggestion to help with an issue I was having with output from a prompt, and while it wasn't a good solution for what I was doing, it an eye-opening look at a really cool feature of - Function Calling. was Generative AI Now, I'm new to GenAI, and new to this particular feature, having been introduced to it a bit less than twenty-four hours ago. I know it's supported by Google AI APIs as well as OpenAI, and a quick search around other offerings seems to imply it's a universal thing. I want to give a quick shout-out to , who helped me wrap my head around this a bit. Any misunderstanding is on me, though, not him. Allen Firstenberg What is Function Calling? Typically, in a GenAI application, you issue a prompt and get a response in text or an image if you're using something like Firefly. Function calling is a bit different. Instead of returning text, the idea is to return the of your prompt mapped to a particular function. intent That probably doesn't make sense, but I think a good way of thinking about it is how Alexa works. Now, I haven't done any Alexa development in a couple of years, but it was cool. When building an Alexa skill, you define the various "intents" that should be supported by it. incredibly Consider a coffee store. When you go in, you probably only want to do one of two things: Ask for a menu (i.e., what kinds of coffee do you have) Make an order When building your Alexa skill, you define those two intents, and define what arguments they may take. The first one, "What's on the menu," would take none, but the second one, "I'd like to order an espresso," would have an argument for the product. You would define a few sample prompts (utterances in Alexa development), and from there, Alexa was smart enough to map random human input. So, for example, I could say: I need a damn coffee, please. I want an espresso, if you don't mind. I'd like to buy a double frap mocha latte with unicorn sprinkles and magic. Alexa would map of these to one intent - making an order. Even better, it would then determine the product: all coffee espresso double frap mocha latte with unicorn sprinkles and magic And finally, here's the cool bit. While Alexa did all the work of figuring this out, it would pass to your code something like this: {
	"intent":"order",
	"product":"coffee"
} This worked well (at least when I last used it) and maps to what function calling does. really kinda Ok, seriously, what is it? Alright, so given the above, for our GenAI application, we can consider this feature to be a way to map your input to a function, with intelligent parsing of the input into various arguments. I'm going to steal an example from the involving movies. In their code sample, they define three functions: Google docs find_movies find_theaters get_showtimes Each of these has arguments. as an example, has arguments for the location, movie, theater, and date. is simpler and just requires a location and movie. get_showtimes find_theaters If I use a prompt like then, the API attempts to map that to a function figure out the arguments. Here is a portion of the result for that call demonstrating this: Which theaters in Mountain View show Barbie movie? and "content": {
	"parts": [
		{
		"functionCall": {
			"name": "find_theaters",
			"args": {
				"movie": "Barbie",
				"location": "Mountain View, CA"
			}
		}
		}
	]
}, The important thing to note here is that the result is Rather, you are expected, much like in Alexa, to take this and implement that logic yourself. The API has handled the parsing and figured out the intent from the prompt, so the hard parts are done. Now it's up to you to actually do the boring logic bit. not the end! Show me a demo! So I played with this a bit, of course, and built a simple demo. First off, note that the does support using this feature yet. However, the REST API was so trivial I'm almost tempted not to ever return to the SDK. Node.js SDK not At a high level, you pass in an object that will contain your prompt and then an array of function_declarations objects that define each function along with its arguments. This is all passed to the endpoint along with your key, and... literally, that's it. I also found that when I messed things up, Google's API did a really good job of describing what I did wrong. Let's look at a function that supports a function (sorry if that's confusing) related to ordering a product: const API_KEY = process.env.GOOGLE_AI_KEY;

async function runGenerate(prompt) {

  let data = {
    contents: {
      role: "user",
      parts: {
        "text": prompt
      }
    },
    tools: {
      function_declarations: [
		{
			"name":"order_product",
			"description":"order or buy a product",
			"parameters": {
				"type":"object",
				"properties":{
					"product": {
						"type":"string",
						"description":"The product to be ordered."
					},
					"quantity":{
						"type":"number",
						"description":"The amount of the product to be ordered."
					}
				},
				"required":["product"]
			}
		}

      ]
    }
  }

  let resp = await fetch(`https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-pro:generateContent?key=${API_KEY}`, {
    method:'post',
    headers:{
      'Content-Type':'application/json'
    },
    body:JSON.stringify(data)
  });

  return await resp.json();
} In the section, you can see one function, , with a description and two parameters - product and quantity. I've also specified that only the product is required. tools order_product I pass this entire object and just return the response. While I'm absolutely not sure about my use of functions here, at least in terms of using the REST endpoint, it really is that simple, which is great for testing. Speaking of - I did some quick tests with an array of inputs: const prompts = [
'I want to order a coffee.',
'I want to buy an espresso.',
'I want to get two espressos',
'Whats on the menu?',
'What time is love?',
'May I buy ten cats?',
'I want to order ten cats'
	];

for(let p of prompts) {
	let result = await runGenerate(p);
	//console.log(JSON.stringify(result,null,'\t'));
	console.log(`For prompt: ${p}\nResponse: ${JSON.stringify(result.candidates[0].content,null,'\t')}\n`);
	console.log('------------------------------------------');
} As you can see, I have a couple of 'normal' inputs, along with some off-the-wall ones. I was curious what would happen. Let's take a look. First one: For prompt: I want to order a coffee.
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "functionCall": {
                                "name": "order_product",
                                "args": {
                                        "product": "coffee"
                                }
                        }
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} Note that quantity is not present. It's optional so that's ok, and I'd expect you would just default to 1. I to set a default in my function declaration, but it wasn't supported (or, more likely, I did it wrong). tried Next: For prompt: I want to buy an espresso.
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "functionCall": {
                                "name": "order_product",
                                "args": {
                                        "quantity": 1,
                                        "product": "espresso"
                                }
                        }
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} Notice this time it supply a quantity. did Next: For prompt: I want to get two espressos
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "functionCall": {
                                "name": "order_product",
                                "args": {
                                        "quantity": 2,
                                        "product": "espresso"
                                }
                        }
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} Good job picking up the quantity! Next: For prompt: Whats on the menu?
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "text": "Sorry, I do not have access to that information."
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} So this is a good example of a failure. It return a human-like textual response. I suppose how you handle this depends on the application. A simple thing to do would be to ignore a text response and consider it an error in general, and perhaps ask for a new prompt. did parts Next: For prompt: What time is love?
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "text": "I cannot fulfill this request because I lack the corresponding tools."
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} The KLF is sad you don't know the answer to this, Google. Next: For prompt: May I buy ten cats?
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "text": "I am sorry but that is beyond my capabilities."
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} This one surprised me. I'm not sure why it failed. Maybe if my function declaration specified a list of possible products, it would work better. As I've said - I'm new to this. Next: For prompt: I want to order ten cats
Response: {
        "parts": [
                {
                        "text": "I am sorry, but I cannot process your request. I am not able to order or sell pets such as cats."
                }
        ],
        "role": "model"
} Very similar to the last one. I do find it kind of cool that it returned a different human-ish response, which is cool. Now, in my testing, I thought I'd try a second function related to querying the price of a product: {
	"name":"product_price",
	"description":"return the price of a product",
	"parameters": {
		"type":"object",
		"properties":{
			"product": {
				"type":"string",
				"description":"The product to be queried."
			}
		},
		"required":["product"]
	}
} Unfortunately, this made every previous good response switch to this version, even before I added prompts to ask for a price instead. I think... maybe... I didn't quite differentiate them enough for the API to be able to properly route them, but I'd love to hear from others what they think. In general, it definitely feels more 'fragile' than Alexa, but I'm still absolutely fascinated by this use-case for GenAI. Now that I'm actually supporting comments here, I'd love to know if anyone out there's using this - and if you can - I'd love to see some code. Also published . here

Function Calling in Generative AI: Mapping Prompts to Functions and Building Smart Applications

On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures by Charles Babbage is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . Enquiries Previous to Commencing any Manufactory here Chapter 25. Enquiries Previous to Commencing any Manufactory There are many enquiries which ought always to be made previous to the commencement of the manufacture of any new article. These chiefly relate to the expense of tools, machinery, raw materials, and all the outgoings necessary for its production; to the extent of demand which is likely to arise; to the time in which the circulating capital will be replaced; and to the quickness or slowness with which the new article will supersede those already in use. The expense of tools and of new machines will be more difficult to ascertain, in proportion as they differ from those already employed; but the variety in constant use in our various manufactories, is such, that few inventions now occur in which considerable resemblance may not be traced to others already constructed. The cost of the raw material is usually less difficult to determine; but cases occasionally arise in which it becomes important to examine whether the supply, at the given price, can be depended upon: for, in the case of a small consumption, the additional demand arising from a factory may produce a considerable temporary rise, though it may ultimately reduce the price. The quantity of any new article likely to be consumed is a most important subject for the consideration of the projector of a new manufacture. As these pages are not intended for the instruction of the manufacturer, but rather for the purpose of giving a general view of the subject, an illustration of the way in which such questions are regarded by practical men, will, perhaps, be most instructive. The following extract from the evidence given before a Committee of the House of Commons, in the Report on Artizans and Machinery, shews the extent to which articles apparently the most insignificant, are consumed, and the view which the manufacturer takes of them. The person examined on this occasion was Mr Ostler, a manufacturer of glass beads and other toys of the same substance, from Birmingham. Several of the articles made by him were placed upon the table, for the inspection of the Committee of the House of Commons, which held its meetings in one of the committee-rooms. Question. Is there any thing else you have to state upon this subject? Answer. Gentlemen may consider the articles on the table as extremely insignificant: but perhaps I may surprise them a little, by mentioning the following fact. Eighteen years ago, on my first journey to London, a respectable-looking man, in the city, asked me if I could supply him with dolls' eyes; and I was foolish enough to feel half offended; I thought it derogatory to my new dignity as a manufacturer, to make dolls' eyes. He took me into a room quite as wide, and perhaps twice the length of this, and we had just room to walk between stacks, from the loor to the ceiling, of parts of dolls. He said, 'These are only the legs and arms; the trunks are below., But I saw enough to convince me, that he wanted a great many eyes; and, as the article appeared quite in my own line of business, I said I would take an order by way of experiment; and he shewed me several specimens. I copied the order. He ordered various quantities, and of various sizes and qualities. On returning to the Tavistock Hotel, I found that the order amounted to upwards of 500l. I went into the country, and endeavoured to make them. I had some of the most ingenious glass toymakers in the kingdom in my service; but when I shewed it to them, they shook their heads, and said they had often seen the article before, but could not make it. I engaged them by presents to use their best exertions; but after trying and wasting a great deal of time for three or four weeks, I was obliged to relinquish the attempt. Soon afterwards I engaged in another branch of business (chandelier furniture), and took no more notice of it. About eighteen months ago I resumed the trinket trade, and then determined to think of the dolls' eyes; and about eight months since, I accidentally met with a poor fellow who had impoverished himself by drinking, and who was dying in a consumption, in a state of great want. I showed him ten sovereigns: and he said he would instruct me in the process. He was in such a state that he could not bear the effluvia of his own lamp, but though I was very conversant with the manual part of the business, and it related to things I was daily in the habit of seeing, I felt I could do nothing from his description. (I mention this to show how difficult it is to convey, by description, the mode of working.) He took me into his garret, where the poor fellow had economized to such a degree, that he actually used the entrails and fat of poultry from Leadenhall market to save oil (the price of the article having been lately so much reduced by competition at home). In an instant, before I had seen him make three, I felt competent to make a gross; and the difference between his mode and that of my own workmen was so trifling, that I felt the utmost astonishment. Question. You can now make dolls' eyes? Answer. I can. As it was eighteen years ago that I received the order I have mentioned, and feeling doubtful of my own recollection, though very strong, and suspecting that it could [not] have been to the amount stated, I last night took the present very reduced price of that article (less than half now of what it was then), and calculating that every child in this country not using a doll till two years old, and throwing it aside at seven, and having a new one annually, I satisfied myself that the eyes alone would produce a circulation of a great many thousand pounds. I mention this merely to shew the importance of trifles; and to assign one reason, amongst many, for my conviction that nothing but personal communication can enable our manufactures to be transplanted. In many instances it is exceedingly difficult to estimate beforehand the sale of an article, or the effects of a machine; a case, however, occurred during a recent enquiry, which although not quite appropriate as an illustration of probable demand, is highly instructive as to the mode of conducting investigations of this nature. A committee of the House of Commons was appointed to enquire into the tolls proper to be placed on steam-carriages; a question, apparently, of difficult solution, and upon which widely different opinions had been formed, if we may judge by the very different rate of tolls imposed upon such carriages by different 'turnpike trusts'. The principles on which the committee conducted the enquiry were, that 'The only ground on which a fair claim to toll can be made on any public road, is to raise a fund, which, with the strictest economy, shall be just sufficient—first, to repay the expense of its original formation; secondly, to maintain it in good and sufficient repair.' They first endeavoured to ascertain, from competent persons, the effect of the atmosphere alone in deteriorating a well-constructed road. The next step was, to determine the proportion in which the road was injured, by the effect of the horses' feet compared with that of the wheels. Mr Macneill, the superintendent, under Mr Telford, of the Holyhead roads, was examined, and proposed to estimate the relative injury, from the comparative quantities of iron worn off from the shoes of the horses, and from the tire of the wheels. From the data he possessed, respecting the consumption of iron for the tire of the wheels, and for the shoes of the horses, of one of the Birmingham day-coaches, he estimated the wear and tear of roads, arising from the feet of the horses, to be three times as great as that arising from the wheels. Supposing repairs amounting to a hundred pounds to be required on a road travelled over by a fast coach at the rate of ten miles an hour, and the same amount of injury to occur on another road, used only by waggons, moving at the rate of three miles an hour, Mr Macneill divides the injuries in the following proportions: Injuries arising from; Fast coach; Heavy waggon
Atmospheric changes 20 20
Wheels 20 35.5
Horses' feet drawing 60 44.5
Total injury 100 100
Supposing it, therefore, to be ascertained that the wheels of steam carriages do no more injury to roads than other carriages of equal weight travelling with the same velocity, the committee now possessed the means of approximating to a just rate of toll for steam carriages.(1*) As connected with this subject, and as affording most valuable information upon points in which, previous to experiment, widely different opinions have been entertained; the following extract is inserted from Mr Telford's Report on the State of the Holyhead and Liverpool Roads. The instrument employed for the comparison was invented by Mr Macneill; and the road between London and Shrewsbury was selected for the place of experiment. The general results, when a waggon weighing 21 cwt was used on different sorts of roads, are as follows: lbs 1. On well-made pavement, the draught is 33 On a broken stone surface, or old flint road 65 On a gravel road 147 On a broken stone road, upon a rough pavement foundation 46 On a broken stone surface, upon a bottoming of concrete, formed of Parker's cement and gravel 46 The following statement relates to the force required to draw a coach weighing 18 cwt. exclusive of seven passengers, up roads of various inclinations: Inclination; Force required at six miles per hour; Force at eight miles per hour; Force at ten miles per hour lbs lbs lbs 1 in 20 268 296 318 1 in 26 213 219 225 1 in 30 165 196 200 1 in 40 160 166 172 1 in 600 111 120 128 In establishing a new manufactory, the time in which the goods produced can be brought to market and the returns be realized, should be thoroughly considered, as well as the time the new article will take to supersede those already in use. If it is destroyed in using, the new produce will be much more easily introduced. Steel pens readily took the place of quills; and a new form of pen would, if it possessed any advantage, as easily supersede the present one. A new lock, however secure, and however cheap, would not so readily make its way. If less expensive than the old, it would be employed in new work: but old locks would rarely be removed to make way for it; and even if perfectly secure, its advance would be slow. Another element in this question which should not be altogether omitted, is the opposition which the new manufacture may create by its real or apparent injury to other interests, and the probable effect of that opposition. This is not always foreseen; and when anticipated is often inaccurately estimated. On the first establishment of steamboats from London to Margate, the proprietors of the coaches running on that line of road petitioned the House of Commons against them, as likely to lead to the ruin of the coach proprietors. It was, however, found that the fear was imaginary; and in a very few years, the number of coaches on that road was considerably increased, apparently through the very means which were thought to be adverse to it. The fear, which is now entertained, that steampower and railroads may drive out of employment a large proportion of the horses at present in use, is probably not less unfounded. On some particular lines such an effect might be produced; but in all probability the number of horses employed in conveying goods and passengers to the great lines of railroad, would exceed that which is at present used. NOTES: One of the results of these enquiries is, that every coach which travels from London to Birmingham distributes about eleven pounds of wrought iron, along with the line of road between the two places.

Enquiries Previous to Commencing any Manufactory

Mark Twain's Speeches by Mark Twain, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . MISSOURI UNIVERSITY SPEECH here MISSOURI UNIVERSITY SPEECH ADDRESS DELIVERED JUNE 4, 1902, AT COLUMBIA, MO.

          When the name of Samuel L. Clemens was called the humorist
          stepped forward, put his hand to his hair, and apparently
          hesitated.  There was a dead silence for a moment.  Suddenly
          the entire audience rose and stood in silence.  Some one began
          to spell out the word Missouri with an interval between the
          letters.  All joined in.  Then the house again became silent.
          Mr. Clemens broke the spell: As you are all standing [he drawled in his characteristic voice], I guess, I suppose I had better stand too. [Then came a laugh and loud cries for a speech. As the great humorist spoke of his recent visit to Hannibal, his old home, his voice trembled.] You cannot know what a strain it was on my emotions [he said]. In fact, when I found myself shaking hands with persons I had not seen for fifty years and looking into wrinkled faces that were so young and joyous when I last saw them, I experienced emotions that I had never expected, and did not know were in me. I was profoundly moved and saddened to think that this was the last time, perhaps, that I would ever behold those kind old faces and dear old scenes of childhood. [The humorist then changed to a lighter mood, and for a time the audience was in a continual roar of laughter. He was particularly amused at the eulogy on himself read by Gardiner Lathrop in conferring the degree.] He has a fine opportunity to distinguish himself [said Mr. Clemens] by telling the truth about me. I have seen it stated in print that as a boy I had been guilty of stealing peaches, apples, and watermelons. I read a story to this effect very closely not long ago, and I was convinced of one thing, which was that the man who wrote it was of the opinion that it was wrong to steal, and that I had not acted right in doing so. I wish now, however, to make an honest statement, which is that I do not believe, in all my checkered career, I stole a ton of peaches. One night I stole—I mean I removed—a watermelon from a wagon while the owner was attending to another customer. I crawled off to a secluded spot, where I found that it was green. It was the greenest melon in the Mississippi Valley. Then I began to reflect. I began to be sorry. I wondered what George Washington would have done had he been in my place. I thought a long time, and then suddenly felt that strange feeling which comes to a man with a good resolution, and I took up that watermelon and took it back to its owner. I handed him the watermelon and told him to reform. He took my lecture much to heart, and, when he gave me a good one in place of the green melon, I forgave him. I told him that I would still be a customer of his, and that I cherished no ill-feeling because of the incident—that would remain green in my memory.
