- Don't just read one recipe. Read three, see what they have in common and what seems off in each of them.
- Keep a dossier of your hybrid or modified recipes. Annotate the recipe with any changes you made.
- If the end result isn't great, what went wrong? Annotate the recipe with any changes you think you should make next time you try it.
These become easier the more experienced you are, of course.
I'm also seeing:
Review contents not matching star ratings, in both directions (landlord is a compulsive liar, respect: 5 stars!)
Repeats that appear to be the same disgruntled tenant posting multiple times
Landlords could also be behind some of the positive reviews. It's hard to tell.
> The bills will give parents full access to their children's online accounts, including posts and private messages.
Where "children" is defined as anyone younger than 18. I can see the point of some of these controls, but legally disallowing a 17 year old from having privacy from their parents? Absolutely not.
The funny thing, though, was that it didn't provide any sources for that second response. I pointed out the discrepancy and it told me I was right and here are some sources and provided yet another unsourced summary of how Microsoft was great, basically writing its own sources itself. When I insisted twice more using different wording and requesting no primary sources it started retconning its arguments, but all the sources were from microsoft.com regardless. It was all very ironic.
I would like to have access to fully unlimited conversations just for fun, even if the bot goes progressively more insane with each prompt. Just make the user accept a disclaimer.
Over the years I asked two different friends at Google for help, one of whom was management. They were baffled when the internal message thing yielded no results either. There doesn't seem to be any process for getting certain types of issues resolved at google.
My point is that google can ruin people's lives even if the victims aren't the ones using it. Gmail blocking inbound mail is another example - if gmail decides to block your service, everyone will blame you, and there's nothing you can do about it other than wait.
Lisbon has a horrible housing crisis. Locals are barely (or not at all, in many cases) able to afford living there anymore, and airbnb has been there making the problem worse every step of the way. I hope the author gets plenty of evidence and reports this place to the authorities, then stops using airbnb.
Note that in Portugal garbage is usually collected from nearby (unsaturated green colored) lidded trash cans and dumpsters owned by the city government or entities contracted to it, where residents are expected to leave their trash. Lisbon does have a bit of a trash overload problem ongoing (more recent than the housing crisis), but there should always be a dumpster nearby where people can drop off trash for collection, leaving it right next to the container if the container is full. For this one single issue I imagine there was a miscommunication due to the language barrier.
Sometimes (speaking from personal experience), especially in a place so obviously neglected and unused, the toilet discharge issue can be as simple as grit or rust inside the tank preventing the part that drops to block off the water flow from moving, but it can be mechanically pushed down (or even washed to get rid of the grit permanently). Not to excuse the owner; just a possible way to make the author's stay a little less miserable.
It seems very hazardous to live in a place as damp as the author reported, damp enough that it attracted slugs and the water vapor likely got in the electrical system, causing a short circuit . Must be a real dump if it got this damp with the drought going on before this week. There are probably a lot of hazardous mold spores. They should have set up a dehumidifying solution immediately (three weeks ago); I would depart right away if possible.
There's also a knack for writing the prompts, generally you want to write your prompt as a list of short sentences. Don't make your prompt too short. Use concrete and clear concepts, beginning with your main subject, and describe their relation. You can also qualify the background, the mood, the material and the style among other things. Generate more than one sample - I normally go for five or ten samples so there are better odds of getting one that works, since the AI could try to interpret the prompt in different ways that make sense (but not to a human).
I can't try it right now, but you might try something like: "A man is standing on the street, close up. The man has an iphone in his hand. The man is Mark Twain. Regular city background. Impressionist. Detailed."
Tweak a few times and more often than not you'll end up with something satisfying.
Generations pass and everything remains the same. We're all on the same boat, so why are people so quick to judge against those targeted for violations of a contrived status quo?
And enabling community mode isn't necessarily the solution either. It comes with a bunch of dubious nonsense attached:
> Scan media content from all members: this will scan all media sent in the server and delete any content that contains explicit content
I don't trust an automated algorithm to make moderation decisions for me.
> Rules or Guidelines Channel
Useless in a private community.
> Discord may check the contents of your server to make sure it’s safe!
I don't need a paternalistic american tech company invisibly making judgement calls on what my private community does or doesn't do.
(At the time I tried discussing the subject on webhostingtalk, but they sided with the business.)
