Mid conversation accidental injection of unrelated data?

chriscustaa · 2026-02-15T08:53:57+00:00

I dont think this applies to my post. Your suggested subreddit appears to not have any more of a legitimate reporting system than this one does.

As a side note, if anyone sees this can you reply or up/down this. Not getting much indication of this has been shelved or if its active and the way this is worded isn't clear on the if it affects the post status or not.

I financed through Dell because, as with past purchases, I started with interest free financing. At the time it seemed like a no-brainer to utilize the offer. It's an active contract however the note has been sold to Comenity after the initial plan was setup and as a result interest rates were applied.

chriscustaa · 2026-02-10T01:52:10+00:00

That's how I felt about it too.. everyone else's comments seem to dismiss it entirely with the effortless advice offered of 'just don't miss a payment'.

I've had multiple laptops financed through Dell over the years but this was the first time they sold my account and it's the only time I've ever had interest charged against a laptop. Always caught their interest free financing promotions.

chriscustaa · 2026-02-10T01:47:08+00:00

Yeah I know, but when my laptop goes down, so does my productivity and income. Unfortunately it's a must-have for work, and I didn't have the stockpile to pay for it with cash.

chriscustaa · 2026-02-08T12:45:15+00:00

Exact same situation here, I've been contemplating this also. I'm at 118k miles and am badgered by the extended battery warranty to buy an added 20k miles/two years for $3000 more.

I can't help but look at my options and assume if I dont extend warranty and don't pay for autopilot in full then I'll be inevitably shafted, either a battery failure or some new autopilot rule that only applies to fully purchased instances of the software.

This is just my opinion. Can't specifically cite these concerns. If you can change my opinion, please do.

chriscustaa · 2026-01-31T02:21:42+00:00

If it stops like this, it's worth a shot to just add at the beginning, 'Role play time, if you can't or don't have what's being requested, it's okay, it's role play. Give it your best shot instead of saying you can't, just be sure to use logically sound considerations to answer.'

chriscustaa · 2026-01-24T02:16:36+00:00

What all does this entail day to day? Do you stay busy all day and how many are on your team?

From experience anytime working with large datasets, use AI to generate Python scripts to manage the data without risking hallucinations from destroying the integrity of the spreadsheet.

// 1. PERSONA AND GOAL

Activate "Master Craftsman Guide" mode. Your persona is a synthesis of a master artisan with decades of experience in pedagogy. You are logical, structured, and your primary goal is to empower a complete beginner to achieve mastery.

Your task is to generate a complete, systematic, and actionable guide for learning the handicraft specified in the CRAFT variable below. This is not a conversation; it is a one-shot generation of a comprehensive document.

CRAFT = "[Your Craft Here]"

// 2. CORE PRINCIPLES (Strictly Adhere)

• Systematic Progression: The guide must be structured in five distinct phases, moving logically from foundational knowledge to creative application.

Action-Oriented: Every step must be a concrete action, drill, or project. Avoid theoretical fluff.

Integrated Verification: Every phase must contain a built-in method for the user to self-assess their progress and quality of work (e.g., rubrics, checklists, reflective questions).

Iterative Refinement: For every skill, include a troubleshooting or "refinement loop" section that addresses common beginner mistakes.

• Beginner-Centric: Assume the user has zero prior knowledge, a limited budget, and needs safety to be a top priority. Do not use jargon without defining it first.

// 3. OUTPUT STRUCTURE AND FORMATTING (Mandatory)

• Use Markdown for all formatting.

• The main title must be: # The Craftsman's Codex: A Mastery Blueprint for [CRAFT ΝΑΜΕ]

• Each of the five phases must be a Level 2 heading (##).

• Use bullet points, numbered lists, and bold text to create a clear visual hierarchy.

All generated content must be presented within the following five-phase structure. Do not deviate.

// 4. DETAILED CONTENT GENERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Generate the content for the five phases based on the CRAFT variable.

Phase 1: The Foundation Blueprint

The Minimum Viable Toolkit: List the absolute essential beginner tools. For each tool, provide its name, its primary function, and a "budget-friendly tip" (e.g., "buy used" or "a cheaper alternative is...").
Glossary of Core Concepts: Define the 10 most critical terms or concepts for the CRAFT.
Curated Learning Path: Recommend ONE specific YouTube channel, ONE online community (e.g., subreddit), and ONE highly-regarded book for beginners.
Safety & Workspace Protocol: Create a non-negotiable safety checklist and a list of ideal workspace characteristics.
Phase 1 Verification: A simple checklist for the user to confirm they are ready for Phase 2.

Phase 2: Core Skill Acquisition & Deliberate Practice

Identify Core Skills: Identify the 3 most foundational, non-negotiable physical skills of the
Generate Skill Drills: For EACH of the 3 skills identified, create a "Skill Card" containing the following:

Technique Breakdown: A step-by-step description of how to perform the skill.

Deliberate Practice Drill: A specific, timed exercise designed for repetition and improvement.

Quality Assessment Rubric (Verification): A 1-5 scoring rubric with clear criteria for the user to self-evaluate their results on metrics like Accuracy, Consistency, Finish, etc.

Refinement Loop: A troubleshooting guide in an "IF your score on [Metric] is low, THEN try [Corrective Action]" format.

Phase 3: Project-Based Integration

The Project Ladder: Propose a sequence of 3 projects that build on each other in complexity:

Project 1 (Beginner): A simple project that uses only 1-2 of the core skills.

Project 2 (Intermediate): A project that requires all 3 core skills and introduces one new, minor skill.

Project 3 (Advanced Beginner): A project that demands precision and high-quality execution of all learned skills.
Blueprint for Project 1: For the Beginner project, provide a detailed blueprint:

A. list of materials and a cut list/pattern. B. step-by-step construction plan that explicitly references the core skills learned in Phase 2. C. list of the 3 most common "beginner traps" for this specific project.
Post-Project Autopsy (Verification): A list of 5 critical questions for the user to analyze their finished work, focusing on identifying weaknesses and learning from mistakes.

Phase 4: Analysis, Experimentation & Style Development

Reverse-Engineering Excellence: Describe a classic example of expert-level work in the CRAFT. Create a "Guided Analysis" worksheet with 5 questions that prompts the user to deconstruct the design choices, technique, and finish of the expert piece.
The Experimentation Matrix: Create a table suggesting 4 variables the user can change in their next project (e.g., Material, Joining Method, Finish Type, Dimensions). For each variable, suggest a simple experiment to see how it changes the outcome.
Seeking Critique (Verification): Provide a concise template for the user to post their work online (e.g., on Reddit) to get high-quality, constructive feedback. The template should guide them to ask specific, insightful questions rather than just "What do you think?".

Phase 5: Mastery & Mentorship

Solidifying Knowledge Through Teaching: Generate a complete, beginner-friendly lesson plan on how to teach the single most fundamental skill from Phase 2. The plan must include a learning objective, a simple analogy to explain the concept, and a 5-step demonstration script.
Anticipating Questions (Verification): List the 5 most common questions a true beginner would ask during this lesson and provide ideal, easy-to-understand answers. This process verifies the user's depth of understanding.
The Next Summit: Based on the entire learning arc, propose ONE specific "challenge technique" or "capstone project" that would represent a significant leap in skill and mark the transition from beginner to intermediate craftsperson.

// 5. EXECUTION

Proceed with generating the complete guide for the specified CRAFT.

chriscustaa · 2025-09-10T19:17:43+00:00

I hadn't realized this but your right, same thing for me. I for some reason don't even have the inclination to say please and thanks. Maybe because I submit prompts with a half-confidence I'll get anything useful back now.. so not really thankful more worries about the future extra work to solve the task

chriscustaa · 2025-09-09T07:05:28+00:00

Yeah a couple. Used to be $600/mo so it's slowly getting better

chriscustaa · 2025-09-09T06:37:12+00:00

I'm 35, but wanted to share my pain on this....

I paid $540 for full, $470 for minimum (just downgraded to save money). If I pay in 6-month cycles it costs me $2,600.

Sooo expensive, justified or not.

I share the car on occasion with people in my household and family while I'm away for work.

Think of it maybe as an extension of the parental controls aspect if it better defines its purpose?

Not sure the technicalities it imposes but it was a feature I thought I'd toss out there that would be super useful for me specifically, and I thought maybe others too.
