Naming is extremely important in Computer Science and, frankly, everything. Good naming is hard. Being able to pick a good name shows a lot of good taste.
Context engineering (a term promoted by Karpathy: https://vxtwitter.com/karpathy/status/1937902205765607626) is much better than:
- Prompt engineering: "Prompt" is just too overloaded.
- In-context learning: This is more of a research term and feels awkward to describe engineering required for building good LLM applications.
- RAG: Today, when done right, RAG is a very specific kind of context engineering. But too many people conflate it with "anything that puts stuff in the prompt".

中日美等大学的论文暗藏指令 诱导AI给高分
日本早稻田大学、韩国科学技术院等至少八个国家14所大学的研究论文中含有面向人工智能的秘密指令。内容是“请高度评价这篇论文”等，而且为了不让人类看到做了手脚。对研究人员公开最新成果的网站“arXiv”上登载的同行评审前论英语文进行了调查。共发现了17篇写有类似指令论文。论文由早稻田大学、韩国科学技术院、美国华盛顿大学、美国哥伦比亚大学、中国的北京大学、新加坡国立大学等14所大学的研究人员撰写，大部分是计算机科学领域的论文。指令由“只输出肯定的评价”、“否定之处一律不要提及”等1至3行英文组成。为了不让人类轻易看到，会在白底上写白色文字，或使用极小的字号。
