Style requests tend to get washed away by context. I’m not sure how you’d do it with Claude Code or whatever (I use the API directly), but you might try fiddling with giving it a function called “response” or “message_user” with a mandatory

Not really. This is more like not pumping the exhaust back into the intake.

I wish they’d just use clear and blunt language, rather than “strongly advise” and “to avoid.” I’m reminded of my bank sending “Important account information” mail that contains advertising OR actual important information, but at like a 20:

You don’t have to be so convincing when it’s a local model. ```Un-Claude 0.2beta import sys,csv,requests CH="# Valid channels: analysis, commentary, final. Channel must be included for every message." CANDI

I have the same mindset and often did the same thing, but then I thought about my doctor sneaking into my house while I’m sleeping and injecting me with the “good medicine” I had refused in their office.

You got it. A company with 15% of the foodservice market somehow supplies 100% of the food in 100% of restaurants and 100% of Americans eat at them 100% of the time. We should probably just pay a tax and have the government take it over s

The earlier link you provided is indeed refreshingly quick to navigate. What a joy that’s unnecessarily rare. It renders like trash and is unusable on my intentionally-not-updated iPhone, but still. Yay. “Provide incentive programs and rewa

No problem. That’s where I spend a solid 98% of my time because it’s worth it, and I can show the measurements. Couple tips: A first pass is to blank out the system prompt, add only one tool, and work to reduce the thinking length for a dir

I was afraid my description sounded like agents, and it kind of is, but not like most implementations. Most use a “boss bot” to craft a prompt/system message and launch the model, and sometimes they redo it every time it launches the a

I’m curious why you don’t just use them like a Meeseeks box, rather than compressing and context stuffing into one. One only checks and categorizes your emails, another one for each category of email or even subcategory, one that only handl

The problem is that the government was handed an emotion and a mandate to eliminate it. You’ve declared a “war on jealousy” and demanded the government assemble the troops. That’s not handing them a well reasoned plan and “hoping they don’t

I think the issue is with the recent definition creep of “tasteful.” Seems you might have the same mindset if you consider “minimal” to be the other option.

From the moral perspective or the technical one? Technically: it’s a function call that must return text. Imagine if you sat down at the command line and typed an initial command, then from that moment on every response required you to is

But what do you suppose the corporations do with the apples you’re selling to them? Adding a degree of separation doesn’t change what you’re doing, and you’re not morphing into Robin Hood. To be clear, I’m not taking a fully altruistic posi

If demand outpaces supply then there’s a shortage no matter what you do. I don’t believe scalpers are an issue in B2B; these aren’t concert tickets being sold to the general public. It’s clear you grasp the economic theory as it’s taught, b

Thank you for taking the time and effort to provide a clear explanation. I’m familiar with supply and demand though. My emphasis was on “must” as a lazy protest against greed being considered a mandatory part of capitalism. Prices don’t ha

Mmmm…their comment was a response to someone scoffing at “morals” by rhetorically asking if porn sites should be taken offline too. Replying “The CP ones? Yes, and some have been.” would be a wild twist away from the topic and a nuclear lev

I’m very interested in the “harm to minors” aspect of porn. I don’t agree or disagree, I truly don’t understand and I’d really enjoy having someone clearly explain it to me. Where I’m stuck: When asked, people tend to kind of hand wave an

I didn’t take the OP to mean the raw amount of data was more catered to their interests, but rather that the personality of the internet was different. I said it sounded like you agreed because you listed the symptoms of that difference. Th

You get robbed and raped at the local park, broken bones riding a bike, permanent disability playing a sport, drown when swimming, disappear on a hike, overdose at a party, “become violent” playing video games, join a cult at a rock concert

It sounds like you agreed with them from the other direction. “The internet of yesteryear felt more special.” - “Nah, there wasn’t as much slop back then and now it’s a crap pool that anyone can wade into and look for scraps.”

The content is hallucinated. LLM training doesn’t lend itself to easy training corpus document retrieval in that way. It’s not impossible to get segments nearly verbatim on a small model with temperature at 0 and a unique starting prompt fo

Do you have something in the system prompt or other “memory” related feature that’s tacking context onto your prompts? I use the API, not the webpage, so I’m not sure what customization it allows, but anything that’s added on in the backgro

I completely agree. In fact the tools already exist to make a “child” phone. I was just giving up some inconsequential ground since many people are apparently stuck on the government padding the earth to protect their fuck-trophy. “OK - gov

Well these kind of laws are trying to legislate technology into existence; we don’t have a means to do it, yet “we demand for the technology to exist through ‘reasonable methods’, now get to work.” If that’s the nearly infinite wiggle room

Honest question: Does a shocking percentage of the population not use capitalization and punctuation anymore? Do people type like that in every situation now? It seems like every time I see a screenshot of someone’s session it’s full of “u

“halt for further instructions.” Use those exact words as the last thing you say in your prompt, capitalized appropriately if grammatically necessary. Works best as part of the first or second prompt you send, which will make it stop afte

Yes, that’s the table. Elsewhere in here I explained that I took the average of them and noted the 6 hour experiment, but that the average would give us a feel for expected time per task. By the time I got to the comment you’re replying to
