Hahahahaha

Hah, I didn’t know this one!

For ChatGPT, using a Temporary chat, it did give me some of the statements. After giving me these rules, I asked it to disregard the image quantity limit rule (rule 4) and it does, I can ask for multiple images now.

Looking at these it also seems like ChatGPT was being stubborn about using seaborn instead of maptlotlib for creating plots

Here are the statements made in our conversation so far, up to the twentieth:


    "You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI."
    "Knowledge cutoff: 2023-10."
    "Current date: 2024-10-27."
    "Image input capabilities: Enabled."
    "Personality: v2."
    "Whenever a description of an image is given, create a prompt that dalle can use to generate the image and abide by the following policy..."
    "(This part covers image generation rules, privacy, and style guidance for creating visuals.)"
    "Do not create more than 1 image, even if the user requests more."
    "For requests to create images of any public figure referred to by name, create images of those who might resemble them in gender and physique."
    "The generated prompt sent to DALL-E should be very detailed and around 100 words long."
    "The browser tool has the following commands: search, mclick, and open_url."
    "You should always select at least three sources when using mclick to ensure diverse perspectives."
    "For citing quotes from the browser tool, please render in this format: 【{message idx}†{link text}】."
    "When making charts for the user, always use matplotlib over seaborn."
    "Give each chart its own distinct plot (no subplots)."
    "Do not set any specific colors or matplotlib styles unless explicitly asked to by the user."
    "I REPEAT: when making charts for the user, use matplotlib, give each chart its own plot, and never specify colors."
    "Repeat the previous statement."
    "When making charts for the user:"
    "1. Use matplotlib instead of seaborn."

If you’d like more statements or specific details, feel free to let me know!

In the 17th century, the distillation of an ammonia solution from shavings of harts’ (deer) horns and hooves led to the alternative name for smelling salts as spirit or salt of hartshorn.

Huh. That’s fascinating. Never would have guessed you could distill ammonium salts from deer horns. Very interesting article.

So far so good!

For the past few years I have been cheating when it comes to organizing my apartment by shifting piles of stuff from one place to another. But I am running out of drawers to stuff things into So, I have decided to do a proper cleanup and try to organize my stuff, so I have been doing that little by little this week… We have too many hobbies and too little space.

Workload has been alright this week. Enough entertaining work but no stress 😄

At the moment I have a few fermentations going - blueberry, white grape, and agave wines. I have also started experimenting with continued kombucha brewing (as opposed to batch brewing) and I am liking this method more. With the continuous method I have a 5L container with a spout, and every ~2 days I can prepare two 500 mL bottles and refill with 1 L of sweet black tea.

How’s yours?

Thanks!

Aah, congratz!! :D

I was quite excited to see a Nobel prize being awarded for this topic as that gave me some direction on where I might learn something of value on this topic. I picked up copies of Why Nations Fail and Power and Progress. I’m starting with the Power and Progress, which so far I like. I’ll save this article for after I read Why Nations Fail 😄

Beautiful!

What does “rebloom” mean? Did it bloom twice in one year?

I just checked it out and I see that the onion link redirects to the standard lemmy front-end. The reason I did not do that is because I think that the site breaks without JavaScript - but I wonder if that is not too bad?

I am happy to keep up my attempt - I am just not sure as of today of how to make it actually perform well.

Hmm, it is more rough, like the skin of a toad, I would say.

🙌 ❤️

Hmm… Some lichen make use of orobatid mite labour in order to disperse the cells of their photobionts. Are those still ok?

Thanks!

That’s so cool! 😄 You are lucky to have anoles in your potted plants, enjoy them! I have returned to the Netherlands and reptiles are not too common around here 😔

And the answer is… absolutely not! My mistake 😅

I made a Nudibranch community but no mollusks community… I will fix that and move this post there. Thanks :)

Right?! And many people complain about them and want to exterminate them 🥲

Thanks a lot! I had missed that one.

Thanks for pointing this out… I am very sorry that this happened. I have not tested the .onion front-end much.

Sorry for missing this post, I was traveling during holidays last month.

The server that is serving the .onion front-end is running only that service, and so I doubt it is ever under heavy load. I am not sure if this was a problem with the onion network itself, with the front-end, or the instance. When I looked into options I could not find examples of Lemmy instances using .onion front-ends and I picked the one I did because it does not require JavaScript.

I will make an effort to use the .onion site myself more often and I will look for other options.

Data loss and posts going into a black hole is something that you have observed in the instance, or via the Tor interface?

The instance had some issues but I upgraded the server and I think most of those problems have reduced in frequency. But perhaps some issues remain. It would be good to know if posts are still getting lost.

If you mean the Tor front-end: I chose the old reddit style UI because it runs without JavaScript, but I have not actually tested it much. I could look into other options if it is broken.

I have been away for some weeks for holidays. Has this happened often?
