@philpin.com I think I replied already? Somewhere?

Replying to: @mattypenny

@mattypenny yup not for everyone - variable output quality doesn’t help - but in the catalogue there are some stonkers - Silver Machine anyone? TBH I did move on - a certain amount of repetition IMHO - but in those early days - definitely one of the bridges from psychedelic folk rock to progressive.

@lmika Shouldn’t there have been some kind of pairing control in play here?

@bradenslen Standing the glass bottle upside down on the smallest of caps while the bulk of the wide bottle balances precariously with a dangerous center of gravity .. and they say that humanity isn’t moving forward … 🦯

@devilgate wipes brow … I thought my cryptic posts had finally caught up on me .. don’t recall the story at all .. but boy people took complaints seriously ‘back then’

> The television watchdog has slapped a permanent ban on a car advertisement being aired before 7.30pm after 139 viewers complained about wiggling bottoms and the word “ass” being used in the ad.

139 viewers❗️

@restlesslens and yet it is the English language that ‘gets the blame’ 🤓. Don’t get me wrong - it is responsible for a lot of wrong things - but not this one.

@devilgate where is that - don’t even see it? I used an audio link.

According to Kara:

I don’t understand it correctly

Then again - 🔗 judging by some of the comments in the thread (Link goes to Threads sans tracking crud) - I’m not sure they understand either. Kara probably does - but no clarity as to why I don’t understand it correctly.

@restlesslens two different European nations - not just ‘white folk’ - it’s like wondering why Africa isn’t on the list of countries in a drop down.

@patrickrhone blame the french - they are the ones that called arkansas - ar-kan-saw - and this isn’t just because I am English.

BUT NOT the ‘other side’ of the business - like New York Magazine, The Verge and - yeah not many I really track so …

… except that he is buying New York Magazine …

On the upside it is James - not Lachlan.

@devilgate Turns out that:

@numericcitizen It’s a balance - and I say ‘go’ for it.

To the @herrherrmann point - I also agree - but i don’t think that is what you are doing - if you are a casual reader - as I am on a lot of things - and see an obvious typo in a post headline offering to give me advice - I am likely to move on - [inner thought - if the writer cant even spell why would I trust their advice on tips and tricks in using my mac]. To argue otherwise suggests that I need to know that the writer is not proficient in English … BEFORE I engage - not going to happen. (.. and of course there ar plenty of people with english as a first language that are not proficient in english - its a spectrum.)

Me? Don’t like what I do, say, write? Object to how I produce? Then don’t follow / read - I wil never please everyone - not even in a tight community.

It all comes down to what you are doing and why you are doing it.

And from your point of view - when you declare in your footer

I think it makes total sense to do what you are doing.

@numericcitizen What I am learning over time that might help

  • be accurate with spelling errors in your prompts.
  • be very very complete with those prompts - first time around.
  • maybe even bash that initial prompt around in other engines to get to the best.
  • you don’t always need the best model - even for code (depending on ow good you are as a programmer).
  • you know that verbose feedback it gives you when it is ‘habing a think’ - yeah - no - tell it to stop - it is using yout tokens to do that.
  • skills docs are your friends.
  • hand off docs are your friends.
  • keep a memory going - and prompt to use it -so to top repating yourself.

There are more - these just off top of my head.

@lmika heh - they snoozed. Not you. You should have toasted them with alternative logo facing them as you walked past.

@bradenslen The ‘new’ in the final sentence is redundant.

Replying to: @g

@g Seperate but related question if I may. One of your archive links popped up on my site today - seriously - very very useful.

The bonus question is about this opening line.

It is highlighted in a similar - yet different way. I have noticed a few more of these around the site and wondering if they also are from your plugin - and if so what does it mean … because .. despite being marked in this way - the links are in fact active and working. I thought it MIGHT be because the link is http - not https - BUT - this one is https and works.

If not you - apologies for the interruption - and widening my question for my other reader. Do you have any ideas?

@kaa You might enjoy this - I need to revisit further - but I think this line of thought starts to unlock what is going on.
