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)"

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 e

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

Nice! I made a similar thing but the html for the text editor fits in a data uri, so it can be a bookmark or new tab page for taking quick notes https://gist.github.com/smcllns/8b727361ce4cf55cbc017faaefbb...

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
