How well would it work to ask the working LLM to rewrite the prompt to get the best results? Do the models understand enough about themselves to do that?

I had read a long time ago that when doing web design you should avoid pure white and pure black, especially when one is on top of the other. I presume it’s to avoid harshness or to keep the “white” from halo’ing into the black (made even worse on a CRT display).

That is probably the worst advice when doing a printed medium, though. Different medium targets sometimes have conflicting “best practices.”

Came here to mention the same thing. Very well be on me, tho. I’m using the Brave browser (is it safari-powered?) and on iOS 18.7.9, which is the newest my old iPhone X supports.

My monthly subscription for Claude is up in a week, is there any compelling reason to switch to Codex (for coding/bug fixing of low/medium difficulty apps)? Or is it pretty much a wash at this point?

Alliance! Get ‘em!!!

For me it was Turbo Pascal, Turbo C/C++, regular Borland C++.

Not an enterprise app, but I worked on a project (kind of like a primitive CMS) for a church using PFS:Write and PFS:Professional File. That was a terrible experience.

I definitely get the appeal. It’s analogous to the single file executable. One file to move around, no install process needed, just grab and run. It was the main reason I used to reach for Delphi back in the day for Windows utilities.

In case anyone sees this, thank you for the comments despite my comment being down-voted, I appreciate the insite!

That's a good point, thank you.

Interesting how different two people can come to two completely polar conclusions. I guess it depends on your social bubble, on either side.

In my experience, the right was very opposed to NAFTA (while the left was pushing it), in favor of free trade but not at the expense of jobs and manufacturing ability in the USA, and thought all these deals with China were going to enrich a possibly future adversary. By experience, I simply mean social interaction with middle class conservatives/Republicans, not experience in politics or "the party". And, I didn't really start paying attention to what was going on until the early 90s. (edited for a paragraph break)

Nah, just replace it with the community_scribe_of_appropriate_self_hatred. It can be aliased to 'scribe' if it helps, though it loses some of it's power.

I offer another option: bad actors that are taking advantage of the disputes to further their own agendas. Only, it's not an option, it's more of a documented reality. And it's even more alarming.

Very nice, that was my first language on a PC-compatible (Epson Equity I if anyone remembers those, later upgraded it with a 20MB Seagate ST225!). Man, those were the days... and get off my lawn! lol

No, on the newer iPhones press and hold simply brings up Siri. Gotta press and hold main button and either volume button simultaneously. If that doesn’t work you should be able to use the trick I describe above.

My iPhone 10 locked up hard a few days and I couldn’t get it to turn off using the standard method.

After some digging, I found a new trick that I guess is implemented at a lower level: press and release volume up, then volume volume down, then press and hold the main button until it powers off.
