Easy Tips to Improve Your Dishwasher Performance Are you tired of your dishwasher not giving you sparkling clean dishes? Well, there’s a simple solution that you can try. Replacing the pods in your dishwasher with a box of powder detergent can make a significant difference. Additionally, adding some detergent to the prewash cup in your dishwasher or on the door can enhance its effectiveness, particularly with tough-to-clean dishes. The use of pods in dishwashers has become popular due to their convenience. However, they do come at a high cost and limit the ability to adjust the detergent amount based on the water hardness in your area. This can sometimes result in a film on your clean dishes. By switching to powder detergent, you not only save costs but also have more control over the amount of detergent used.

Introduction: Language models have revolutionized the way we interact with artificial intelligence systems. From generating text to answering complex questions, these models have demonstrated impressive capabilities. However, assessing and comparing their performance across various tasks can be challenging without proper benchmarking techniques. In this article, we explore a comprehensive benchmarking harness developed by a talented individual and discuss its potential applications. Harness for Benchmarking Language Models: For those interested in running their own benchmarking tests across multiple language models (LLMs), a generic harness has been built by a developer known as promptfoo. The harness, available on GitHub, enables users to compare the performance of different LLMs on their own data and examples, rather than relying solely on extrapolated general benchmarks.
