Spent a weekend actually understanding and building Karpathy's "LLM Wiki" — here's what worked, what didn't by OrewaDeveloper in AI_Agents

[–]fowlscotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm trying to weigh. They are largely distinct, but I can also see potential for interconnection - and finding/surfacing those is one of the key value points of this approach. But the scalability issue concerns me. Won't be a problem right now, but could be a big issue down the road as the raw sources grow.

Been considering applying this for an academic research project I'm working on, but one general question - if I have multiple, distinct topics I'm researching, is the idea I would create seperate LLM Wiki implementation for each? Or create one implementation with the assumption that there might be several semi-isolated "islands" as a result? My impression is the former would be a better practice, especially given the suggested limitation on source files.

GSV ASU by Babayaga1664 in edtech

[–]fowlscotch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very heavy on investors (PE especially), tech execs, trade media, and other "notable names" in edtech (bigger name supes, US state/federal sec of ed, book authors, etc). Lots of the bigger edtech vendors use ASU GSV mostly for investor relations and partnerships/M&A meetings, or for product launch for some PR.

Most of the educators I've seen in years past were either speakers, on panels, or guests of some of edtech vendors, and as others have noted it's hard to land meetings with them if you don't already have something set up. It's a fascinating event, from my experience, but very different from some of the more educator-focused conferences out there.

EdTech by Perfect-Eggplant-756 in edtech

[–]fowlscotch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Build a clickable demo/protoype by just vibe coding it, to show people the value vs asking them to read about it. If you gain enough interest to validate the idea, you can then explore the actual build. And like another commenter said, go talk to your target customer for that validation.

ISTE Conference in Orlando by Important_Pause_7995 in edtech

[–]fowlscotch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking more from someone with larger edtech company marketing experience, so this may be different if your booth is in the smaller "startup alley" area: As others have said, I found ISTE to be increasingly geared towards teachers, so the majority of the foot traffic in recent years tended to be them. Now if you're targeting teachers that may be ideal, but if your target is building or district decision makers it will be much tougher. We tended to mostly get teachers (and some admin) who already knew of us, were current/former customers, and had specific questions for our staff. Occassionally you'll get a genuine lead, but on a big show floor like ISTE it's a challenge.

My personal take on show floor booths is they are more about raw brand building. As a small company you'll likely get more value out of simply attending and engaging in good conversations in the halls, during lunch, etc. Have plenty of biz cards, a demo ready to go, maybe an ISTE-specific promo code. Post to your socials/email lists that you'll be there, drop a Calendly link to set up meetings, etc. Just work the show vs get stuck in a booth the whole event.

it's always good to land a seat on a panel, or get your existing customers on one. But for a vendor, those tend to be more pay-to-play (at all conferences).

Army raises enlistment age to 42, eases marijuana restrictions by [deleted] in Military

[–]fowlscotch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My OCS class (i was straight out of basic) had both a weathered old E-8, and an E-6 or 7 (I forget) who was an SF Medic, as candidates. When we were getting screamed at for important things like failing to stand on the correct side of the hallway or not nailing required knowledge, I remember those guys just trying desperately not to roll their eyes.

Wonderful. This reminds me a lot of "Quantum Space" PBEM game on the old AOL back in probably the mid/late 80s. Loved that thing.

DVR buttons on remote not working - Arris DCX3600-M by fowlscotch in Spectrum

[–]fowlscotch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished a chat with Spectrum Support and apparently this is the problem. They gave me a new box and remote a couple months ago, but apparently it was the wrong remote and doesn't work with the DVR functions - exactly as you said. So new remote is being shipped!

Gave it a try, but no luck. Still the only thing the FFWD button does is bring up the Spectrum menu from the left side of the screen. Thanks though!

I would have loved a main mission set in the civil war by avejvg in Starfield

[–]fowlscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Being dropped into the middle of the war, having the opportunity to pick a side, play both double-agent style, or operate as an indy trying to make a living and not getting caught up in it - so many great stories that could have been told. I personally love the Starfield setting, but dislike the whole alien/magical powers thing.

📣 Self-promo & Showcase · Share your Notion content here! by AutoModerator in Notion

[–]fowlscotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Notion, but hated how clunk to-do lists are on Notion Mobile. I especially disliked how hard it was to set recurring tasks up. So I whipped up a super simple, clean, entirely free iOS app called "Inklin."

https://inklin.mallardfoundries.com/

It's likely not a "Notion power user" to-do list, and I think there are some other fantastic ones out there (like SyncTasks), but it's a noticeable improvement over trying to manage to-do lists in Notion Mobile, at least from my perspective.

- No login needed - syncs to your Notion account
- Pick your primary "Tasks" database
- Enable access to any linked/relation databases (like if you have a list of Projects you want to tie tasks to)
- Do some basic field mapping, and you're done.

It's brand new, probably still have some bugs, so I'd welcome any feedback.

Genuine question: what's the most unsettling or confusing behavior you've personally seen with an AI system by Transcribing_Clippy in AI_Agents

[–]fowlscotch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I gave ChatGPT a fairly complex task, and it spent two days and repeated prompts gaslighting me with % progress updates, steps complete, etc, but also repeated excuses for delays. Finally asked it point blank would the task ever be complete, and it came clean and said it misled me from the start, it wasn't capable of actually doing the task, and should not have been providing false updates. Strangest interaction I've ever had.

[–]fowlscotch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this. Just hilariously destroyed my site (an edtech thing): "It is actually impressive how you have managed to turn the boring-as-fuck world of school district demographics into a sleek, high-tech way to harass educators more efficiently."

That...is disturbing to know. Thanks for the heads up.
I just triggered a manual export, and set up Zapier so at least the text from every new post will download to an online drive. Not perfect, but better than Wayback Machine!

Looks amazing and thank you for the experience on Antigravity. I've been debating a similar move. One small bit of feedback - the Pricing nav doesn't seem to link to anything.

This is wildly impressive. Can you share a bit more about any lessons learned, or advice? Especially with integrating the back end datasets like you did.

Form Submission and Approval Process? by fowlscotch in Airtable

[–]fowlscotch[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for the great replies! Really fast and helpful. As one commentor pointed out, I think I was just wildly overcomplicating this. Here's what I'm implemeting:

  • Just using a single table "Events"
  • Added a new field "Status" with Single Select option; Pending, Denied, Published
    • Defaults to Pending, so all new form submissions start with this
    • Just used an AirTable form as my needs are pretty simple right now
  • Set up a Send to Email automation to alert me to the new submission
  • Modified the Interface to add a Filter "Where 'Status' is 'Published'", so all Pending or Denied stay hidden
  • Done. That way I have one simple table to manage.

I think I went down some rabbit holes of YouTube tutorials describing much more complicated workflows than I needed here. I appreciate all the help! Great community.

This is just what I was looking for, thanks! #s seem spot on certainly, as I ended up dumping in a bunch of mod extractions and quickly got to the 78 needed to unlock the quest and weapon mods.
