Same. I once asked for ELI5 and it rewrote the report using dinosaurs and construction vehicles...

I regularly find it helpful to say things like "Write with ELI10 clear sentences and established technical terminology (e.g. API)" or sometimes just "Write it like you are explaining to a colleague" works well.

Thanks for the answers! Found it:

Very cool! Do you have a recommended way for an agent to see an index of the books and epub links?

(I can’t quite tell if that’s an egregious abuse of the site or you’re perfectly fine to share without human eye balls hitting your www?)

OP here. It took me an afternoon to try different methods and test the limits. But now we know how it works it’s very fast to create new ones:

1. Prompt to make SVG - review in browser, iterate.

2. Prompt to write image prompt - review in editor, refine

3. Send to Gemini, get image

So maybe 5-10 mins.

I don’t know how to use Blender.

Also this method can be done over WhatsApp/telegram which is another plus over Blender type approach.

TLDR: use SVG to outline image correctly first, then send that image with your text prompt to get Gemini 3.0 Pro to render with correct numbers and text

I found a simple technique to get reliable text and numbers in AI generated images.

I’m surprised the image models aren’t already doing this, so wanted to share since I’m finding this so useful

Why do you say that? I thought this pattern was well established, or are you aware of known issues with it?

Yep, I suspect this is the rationale/driver too.

The business driver I assume is not lock-in on UX (as some say here) but the additional signal Anthropic gets when using their harness vs a 3P one. It makes sense to discount the price if that signal helps you improve your models, but that discount makes no sense if the user is running your model in another harness and you just get regular API usage signal.

Nice! I made a similar thing but the html for the text editor fits in a data uri, so it can be a bookmark or new tab page for taking quick notes

Re 19, I made this with an iOS Shortcut a few weeks ago

  > A minimal voice assistant for my Apple Watch. I have lots of questions that are too complicated for Siri but not for ChatGPT. The responses should just be a few words long.

Use Dictate Text action to take voice as input, pass the text to OpenAI API as the user message with this as the system prompt:

“CRITICAL: Your response will only be shown in an iOS push notification or on a watch screen, so answer concisely in <150 characters. Do not use markdown formatting - responses are rendered as plain text. Do use minimalist, stylish yet effective vocabulary and punctuation.

CRITICAL: The user can not respond so do not ask a question back. Answer the prompt in one shot and if necessary, declare assumptions about the users questions so you could answer it in one shot, while making it possible for the user user to repeat ask with more clarity if your assumptions were not right.”

It works well. The biggest annoyance is it takes about 5-20s to return a response, though I love that it’s nearly instantaneous to send my question (don’t need to wait for any apps to open etc)

YMMV but a few things that helped me debug myself:

1. I got tested as an adult for ADHD

2. I experimented with diet, and found that a low carb diet reduced my symptoms quite noticeably. I continue to be shocked by what an affect my diet has on my experience and behavior.

3. I experimented with sleep, and having consistent sleep and wake hours also helped.

4. I started to meditate, do yoga, lift weights, get traditional Thai massage, do cold plunges. This helped me connect more with my body and get out of my head. I found that I needed to practice connecting with my body and my emotions because my analytical/cognitive voice was so dominant I wasn’t so aware of another way of experiencing reality.

5. I’m currently reading about Internal Family Systems therapy which I’m pretty sure will help a great deal but I haven’t yet found a therapist and started applying it.

6. I realized most of my friends and the people I connect with best are neuro-atypical in some way, and I love them for being quirky and unusual. It made me feel less embarrassed or ashamed to have weird aspects to my character, and embrace my strengths and accept my weaknesses (and add some systematic mitigations).

Nice

I agree. The implementation here will still enable us to learn about some aspects of UBI. The question of how benefits affect the motivation to gain re-employment will still need to be studied in further experiments.

I think it's worth celebrating that Iceland is doing controlled tests to explore this way. To really understand the best design for UBI, we need more of this.

I've done this. It's very strange how growing instead of learning can feel like the right thing to do sometimes. It seems, at least in my mind, like some instinctive reaction to develop a position of strength (dumb animal), rather than to pursue a valued purpose (intelligent animal). In the times when I've made this mistake, it matches closely with when I'm simply trying to make something popular, rather than when I'm pursuing of a deeper purpose I really care about.

This article makes me think that the founder here has essentially identified a fundamental litmus test for the motivations of startup founders (purpose/fame).

This is fixed in the latest version. Alternatively you could just ensure zocial.css is the referenced below bootstrap.css to make sure it takes priority on styling.

personal bias, sorry :-)

Screenshots in Safari just captured the FOUT (http://paulirish.com/2009/fighting-the-font-face-fout/). Not sure I'm totally convinced about those IE8 + IE9 screenshots - I've tested those and 9 is pretty good, 8 is a bit lame and anything below 8 is appalling. What version of Windows was that?

It really takes the fun out of a project like this to make it not die in IE.

Yeah the timer is a bit crude, working on a better script which considers an interaction as a click, scroll, or keydown and sends minimal events to GA.

Your methods on fixing the click delay are interesting. What was your resulting click time?

I'm not an expert on this but you seem to be using a lot of javascript for your UI when most of it can be done with CSS and applying/removing classes. The JS is fine for desktop browsers but it can be really laggy on mobile (even 3GS). I think that's one of the things about jquery mobile—it uses css where possible. That said, it seemed a little unrefined for me too and I've always left it out.

I did much the same stuff (ui-wise) as you very recently, but used -webkit-animation to do most of the work which means you can also use -webkit-animation-fill-mode <-totally awesome: http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/app...

Also, you should use the 3d versions of translate, scale, rotate like translate3d(x,y,z) because it utilises hardware acceleration (on iOS at least). Makes a massive difference. Put down the javascript stick. :-)

A mate of mine just said it would be possible for firefox on android via a plugin, but he didn't think so for the standard webkit browser.

One media query and one stylesheet for mobile browsing/commenting. I'm happy to do it in an evening for you. Relevant post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2152372

Possibly, I'll have a look. Seems a very long way around for a tiny benefit. Maybe I'll try asking pg and see if it's gets anywhere.

I've written for screens smaller than 480px. I have an android that, landscape, is 860px or something. In that case it won't work, and I'd rather not make the assumption that it's a mobile screen.

I presume your android is larger than 480px and that's why you say this?

I guess my point to this was to show how simple it is to tailor a website to mobile webkit users. For example, HN isn't using any media queries and in probably 30 minutes it could be perfectly nice to read and respond to comments on my phone.

I'll volunteer an hour to do it.

Thanks lenary, I guess that'd be fine for a small amount of adjusted styles for mobile. Becomes a bit of a mess pretty quickly though.

I agree. It's a good idea, and I can see it having advantages over your competitors, but those advantages are negated when hard to access. UI needs to be cleaner and following all expected conventions (this isn't a new UI).

Is there a reason the landing page is 730px wide? It feels like everything got crammed in pretty hard.

I'm excited about what this could do, but it needs some time on the design before I'm comfortable playing around with it to evaluate properly.
