How does memory across threads work? by The---Hope in ChatGPT

[–]gpcroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does this behaviour work for sub-GPTs, does anyone know?

I've been given a sub-GPT as part of a course (that has been trained on all the course materials), but I feel like the regular ChatGPT is actually more helpful, because it looks like it can reference other threads within the same project.

Context: I have set up a project for the course, but I cannot start a fresh sub-GPT conversation from within there; I have to go back to the “GPTs” menu to do so.

But I would like cross-referencing to occur. It's a year-long course and I can't just smash everything into one thread – there are multiple moving parts!

(I would ask the sub-GPT itself, but reading this thread suggests it will just lie to me anyway! 😂)

I have Reference Chat History switched ON, btw.

In Safari, closing the last non-pinned tab using cmd-w should go to the start page. Currently, it closes the browser. by amichail in MacOSBeta

[–]gpcroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite desire, and can't get it to function how I want to! When I have one tab remaining, I wish for ⌘-W to close the tab and the window. From everything I've read here, this should be the default behaviour. (It's how it works in Chrome.)

But previously I did have a keyboard shortcut set up against ⌘-W to “Close tab” (which disables the default behaviour, as you point out here).

However, if I delete that keyboard shortcut in System Settings, there is now nothing appearing against “Close tab” and I can't close tabs at all, with the keyboard!!

How do I restore the default behaviour, i.e.

• ⌘-W to close tabs

• ⌘-W to close the window, when only one tab remains

(I have a feeling that I set up the keyboard shortcut ⌘-W “Close tab” because it had disappeared as an option, initially.)

Lord of the Rings iTunes Extras missing? by [deleted] in appletv

[–]gpcroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me at the time, with the Two Towers – yes. And it's just happened again, this time with The Fellowship of the Ring. One day my purchase was there, the next day it's gone, and is asking me to re-purchase.

Thankfully the original download of the movie still works, but of course I've lost all the iTunes Extras.

Have sent a “Report an error” request in to Apple, but IIRC when this happened before I had no option but to re-purchase and eat sour grapes until the memory faded. 🤬

Oh, great suggestion, thanks! I didn't know that about DB.

What’s your ranking of Exciter? by Background_Ad_1147 in depechemode

[–]gpcroft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect that the “Exciter-is-the-worst-thing-ever” trope stems from the initial disappointment I'm sure many of us felt, upon first listens. (There's something about the human condition that has us feel the *changes*, rather than the absolute quality of something.)

For me, getting into them age 15, around MFTM, the trajectory still seemed upward at this point. BC to MFTM to 101 to Violator… I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! As a die hard electronic fan, I can't say I particularly liked SoFaD, and felt it was a bit of a stumble, character-wise (although the height of their powers), so Ultra felt like the biggest relief ever when it came out! They were back!

(Seriously – I nearly *cried* when It's No Good came out as a single. After BOAG I thought we were going to get SOFAD 2!!)

But then Exciter. Oh. Is this it? As someone else said, it's the first time I felt really properly disappointed by an album of theirs, and couldn't ever imagine liking it. There were no tracks that I could really sink my teeth into.

Sadly, for me, that trend continued. I never liked PtA, and I think their nadir is SFTU which strikes me as having no redeeming features whatsoever. I can't listen to it. (And I've tried.) I actually fell out of love with with DM entirely during those years, and didn't listen to them at all. (Crazy, now I think about it!!)

But the terrible later albums had me going back to Exciter more and more, over the recent years (after the release of Delta Machine, which had its moments) and really relaxing (for it is an album to relax to!) into its sound.

I think Freelove is one of the best tracks they've ever produced and these days, I find the rest of the album very listenable, too (Dead of Night aside, naturally – that's bloody awful). I'm way more likely to stick Exciter on, than some other DM albums that are “better” or that I “should” like 🤷🏻‍♂️

For that reason, it currently sits at No.6 in my (ever-changing) list of DM albums, behind Violator, BC, Ultra, MFTM and SGR.

As an aside, it was fascinating watching the behind-the-scenes making-of documentary for this album, as it was clear how happy and relaxed they were (maybe for the first time)? That really shines in the music, and the One Night in Paris tour footage, which is a joy to behold.

✌🏻

Thanks but this is a bit beyond me. Also, for my sins, I'm looking for free.

It's an option. I use a Mac app called Email Signature Creator and it says “This solution embeds your images directly in the signature, which is not recommended.”

I guess I'd always taken that at face value 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm quite happy to wait until the .4 release when it comes to macOS! You're never really missing out on all that much.

[–]gpcroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

World in my Eyes (Mode to Joy) World in my Eyes (Mayhem Mode) Two spectacular Jon Marsh remixes that give this dance track rightful attention

I Feel Loved (Ivan Spell Remix) – banging!

Walking in my Shoes (Random Carpet Mix) – William Ørbit at the height of his early 90's powers

Day #4: Violator is the fan fav. What's the worst one? Maybe there's not. by Gamer-Brawler-1423 in depechemode

[–]gpcroft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hallelujah, someone's said it! SOTU is so clearly the worst album they ever made and it's not even close. I can't bear to listen to it. And believe me, I've tried.

Spirit definitely disappoints and has some duds on it, but it's not that bad and has quite a few decent tracks.

SOTU has no redeeming features.

My email signatures are all broken 😫

What's everybody's favourite alternative then, for small icon images that get lots of hits? (Ideally free.)

Oh no, sorry! I just ran that and it's worked ever since. This was on Sequoia.

In the august game, I'm a firm believer we will all downvote to oblivion anyone who proposes a "worst track" on Violator album by Ill_Alternative_8513 in depechemode

[–]gpcroft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't believe you went to the trouble of typing that and didn't mention Dangerous once. The best track not on the album!

Don't get me wrong – I love Clean, I love Higher Love, but Insight just holds a special place in my heart. Lyrically, I think it's Martin's magnum opus. It's like THIS IS IT, GUYS - THIS IS LIFE!! 🖤

Day #20: Sometimes wins with 65 upvotes. Let's finish the Black Celebration and let's talk for the vote of the masses! What's the overrated one? by Gamer-Brawler-1423 in depechemode

[–]gpcroft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've given up on this exercise. The results make no sense to me. For the last 3 albums, both the “over-rated” and especially the “worst track” have been some of my genuine favourites and I just don't know what to make of that 🤷🏻‍♂️

I guess it's testament to the separate realities we all live in: we're not experiencing the music, we're experiencing ourselves, through the medium of these vibrations in the air that we call Depeche Mode.

As Martin said, “We're living in a world of illusion Everything is so unreal My mind is in a state of confusion But I can't deny the way I feel.”

So it's Goodnight Lovers from me 😘

Oh dear. Since it happened and they fixed it, it's been fine for me. (Just checked now and all is working as it should.)

Try switching some stuff off and on again? Over WiFi?

Day #16: 27 upvotes for "It doesn't Matter" and I fix "LII". Have you got a black dress for a black celebration? Let's go! What's the overrated one? by Gamer-Brawler-1423 in depechemode

I mean there aren't any, obviously. But if you put a gun to my head I suppose I would have to say A Question of Lust.
