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.

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.

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.
