Are you trying to cite the U15 Dallas FC academy team as a “random” team? Please do share your prompt / conversation, because it sounds like you might actually just have an issue using words precisely.

Well, most platforms operate primarily as an algorithmic scroll based feed, and the actual utilities (like event planning, or marketplace) are related to second class citizens – used mostly as a hook to get you to stay logged in. I've

I actually use this line of reasoning to motivate and inspire some of my own art and cultural artifacts. When a far future galactic civilization pauses to ask, “who are we and where did we come from“, they might just look back at the ledger

Music was already worthless. Here's Deadmau5 giving advice to aspiring producers in 2012: > You need to make a world. So you have a rollercoaster in your backyard. And it’ll be the hot thing in the neighborhood for about a week. But

I got addicted to scrolling content on my phone, so I built a digital pet whose growth and well-being depends on you staying off your phone! This way, if I spend all night scrolling the browser, my pet will get depression. Unlike similar ap

Arguing with an LLM is silly because you’re dealing with two adversarial effects at once: - As the context window grows the LLM will become less intelligent [1] - Once your conversation takes a bad turn, you have effectively “poisoned” the

Text is an LLMs input and output, but, under the hood, the transformer network is capable of far more than mere re-assembly and remix of text. Transformers can approximate turing completeness as their size scales, and they can encode entire

Perhaps consider that I still think coding by prompting is just another layer of abstraction on top of coding. I'm my mind, writing the prompt that generates the code is somewhat analogous to writing the code that generates the assembl

CSS or Tailwind has always been a tough one for me. I have banks of flashcards to help me remember stuff, (align-items, justify-content, grid-template-columns, etc.). Even with all that effort and many projects of practice, though, I'v

I think the magic is often in how you prompt. The best written art I've gotten from Claude was after a very extended dialogue; eventually, in the same context window, I prompted for an essay, framed by a short poem. The results were, t

For technical solutions, I would recommend the plugin DF YouTube to remove suggested videos on YouTube. You can search for videos but won't have a home page of fun stuff to watch. On my phone I have the Google newsfeed disabled. I also
