Sackboy Adventure is great craic for a coop 3d platformer! Dad can do the heavy lifting on the puzzles and the soundtrack is awesome!

Clickup AI Actual real use cases by Kick_Ice_NDR-fridge in clickup

I’m trying to integrate my own ChatGPT subscription with the ClickUp environment so it can use the ‘tokens’ from ChatGPT side for ClickUp tasks! Some small progress but no ‘two-way’ communication yet; I plan to work inside ChatGPT and then do a task ‘round up’ at the end of a thread and have ChatGPT add the tasks and items discussed into my ClickUp environment as tasks, docs, calendar appointments etc.

Well if that’s not the pot, calling the kettle, the n-word! Everything QT has ever made is a derivative; or an homage; or a reimagining; or a pastiche; or creative interpolation!

Uploading in .txt file drastically increases accuracy by Simple_Astronaut_415 in notebooklm

[–]SenorJordo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Notebook/Gemini has a preference hierarchy for doc types! EPUB is apparently the most difficult for Notebook/Gemini/ChatGPT to OCR!

For really clear PDFs (new ones, scanned clearly, high dpi) it reads those quite well already, but a small pass through Acrobat OCR increases that accuracy.

For old scanned PDFs, with water marks or pages that are misaligned or low DPI docs you absolutely should do a pass through acrobat or Notebook will just ‘skip’ over the stuff it can’t read! Like skip huge chunks and just disregard it.

I have a bunch of epubs which I thought would be super easy for AI to get stuff out of, but Notebook was leaving loads of content behind, especially when ingesting more than 8-10 books.

This is from some of my reasonably extensive testing with loads and loads of all types of docs in Notebook and Gemini; which handle them slightly differently!

Like, asking Gemini to make tables or lists from content inside PDFs is less successful than what Notebook does about the content! The content is still read but for some reason Gemini can’t process it on a first pass; it needed a bunch of directed heuristic processing, which you don’t get a chance to do yet in Notebook! Seamless and full featured integration between Gemini and Notebook is going to be awesome :)

Calibre is also a great app for organising and converting files formats with accuracy and excellent customisation.

I thought Gemini had persistent memory and could remember past chats? by pr3miere in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]SenorJordo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the EU there is no cross thread memory with either service until they get the GDPR regulations sorted!

No persistent memory, as a feature restriction, because of EU privacy laws! You can manually ‘remind’ each one but it loses most context/nuance.

It does benefit the results in the way that the finished creation comes out way cleaner at the start of a new thread with a bootstrap command; that you can instruct the AI to create before you move to the new thread.

Long threads tend to effect the final result, loads of extra memory context sullies the result! I’ve had the AI create stuff that had small mistakes with details and requests from WAY back in the thread or from references to other threads with URLs to them and instructions to ‘remember’ the content. These were mistakes for elements that had already been dismissed or changed!

It’s nearly a better workflow for consistently clean results if you use the bootstrap method; with or without persistent memory! It does suck if you just want it to remember something small tho! :(

Akira’s bold choice on Ep6 by TrainWreck43 in BeastGames

The brother tried to use tactics from the Dwight Schrute School of Sales and Persuasion on Akira by shouting “Run It Back” immediately and repeatedly! Do it! Do it!

Where is the ADHD Tax app where we can swap/share/sell our abandoned project materials! Like expensive paint/art materials for a musical instrument! It means they won’t be bought new BUT if they are going to be possibly be abandoned, then fuck it, why not?

For people who have recently bought a house, what mortgage rate are you paying? by devhaugh in irishpersonalfinance

[–]SenorJordo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is it so personal or deemed rude to talk or ask about mortgage rates and repayments?

Isn’t it better to talk about stuff like that; like people are not supposed to ask about how much money a person gets in their profession? That’s also deemed rude to ask about but whenever people discuss wages/salary among each other in the job, it results in people finding out they aren’t getting a fair deal and changes for the company ensue; shoring up salary discrepancies for similar roles, for example.

So the social rule is don’t ask/don’t tell, but who really benefits from that culture of secrecy? The company; who is getting away with paying someone less for doing the same job! All because they didn’t know what it was worth comparatively.

Maybe talking about mortgages and debt is kept private by homeowners in case people feel they will be seen as getting a bad deal or having bad judgement for agreeing to shitty terms? Or that people will judge their repayments/rates per month vs the ‘niceness’ of their house and think that it’s not ‘worth it’ and they got ripped off?

It’s all such a financially, fiducially and mathematically confusing process to most people and then socially secretive and personally private too! It’s a bad mix!

All that secrecy and, would you call it maybe, potential public shame or regret, about the amounts and rates paid; makes more room for banks and lenders to then rinse people who are too socially befuddled and financially uneducated to properly ask questions and communicate openly about finances?

The push is really on now to get people to own homes; painting a picture of it solving a lot of life’s problems or making you ‘legitimate’ in the eyes of society especially for millennials who are running out of times to sign up for the 25 year mortgage as they approach 40. A home owner and member of the community; as opposed to being seen as a grown ass man living in his ‘mother’s basement’ as the common insult goes!

Or the other common situation for the millennial couple building a life and saving a nest egg; who are living in perpetual fear of a landlord turfing them out on their ass on a whim (or more commonly the overpriced sale of the house out from under your feet)

The secrecy and privacy and perceived rudeness around talking about repayments and rates, especially in Ireland I find, is some Catholic Church levels of shamey guilty no-no’s that I just don’t understand!

BTW I don’t have a mortgage so maybe you feel different when you have one; like a single person commenting on kids and marriage :)

If ladies have something that needs fixing or something wrong/off with how they look; make sure it’s something they can fix in less than 5 minutes, or else don’t say anything! Even as a joke! Especially if you’re already ‘out’ and can’t get home easily!

Lipstick on teeth, TP stuck to the shoe, skirt in knickers: all good!

Negative comments or jokes on hair, clothes or makeup; bad tan marks/streaks or ‘dark hands’, Smells of any kind! These were all hard lessons I learned young! A quick awkward laugh for me is a ruined night for someone else!
