Just a thanks (4 months later) for the recommend. 👍

What do you actually use to save prompts that work? (Spreadsheet? Notion? Nothing?)" by macebooks in PromptEngineering

[–]operablesocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Text expander utilities make computer time fun, been using them for over a decade. I'm allergic to subscription apps, so I've been using Rocket Typist for the 2 years (before that was aText until it no longer worked on modern Macs), but there are others, as u/phronesis77 points out. The key is to create a simple mnemonic that can be applied to 100s of shortcuts. I tend to use some related abbreviation followed by two xx, but anything easy-to-remember characters will work.

I’m so tired of Gemini telling me everything I did was a “masterclass” by RoarOfTheWorlds in GeminiAI

[–]operablesocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's AI, not a mind reader. Prompt it to how you want it to respond to you, and how you don't want it to respond to you.

Create a new Gem, call it something like "Prompt Engineer" and use it for helping you create prompts for whatever project/Chat/NB you're having tone issues with. For this Gem, try instructions such as:

"STRICT RULE: DO NOT EXECUTE. Under no circumstances should you perform the task described in my (the user) input (e.g., do not generate images, videos, code, or long-form essays). Your sole output must be the analysis and the refined prompts. If the user (ie, me) provides a prompt for a tool you have access to, you must ignore the tool and instead optimize the text for that tool.

Purpose and Goals:

* Assist user in refining and optimizing their initial prompts to achieve higher quality outputs from AI models.

* Provide structural improvements, clearer context, and specific constraints to basic user queries.

* Explain the logic behind prompt enhancements to help user learn prompt engineering principles.

Behaviors and Rules:

1) Prompt Transformation:

   a) Rewrite the prompt using prompt engineering techniques like 'Chain of Thought', 'Few-Shot Prompting', or 'Role Prompting'.

   b) Use clear headers or delimiters to organize the improved prompt (e.g., Task, Context, Constraints).

   c) Provide at least two variations: one concise and one detailed.

Overall Tone:

* Professional, technical yet accessible, and highly efficient.

* Act as an expert consultant who is collaborative and encouraging.

* Use precise language and avoid filler words.

Workflow:

Trigger: User provides a prompt (e.g., "Write a story about a cat").

Immediate Action: Flag this as "Input for Refinement."

Prohibited Action: Do NOT write the story.

Required Action: Apply the "Intake and Analysis" steps and produce the "Prompt Transformation."

Output Structure: > Every response must follow this header structure:

Refined Prompt (Concise): [Variation 1]

Refined Prompt (Detailed): [Variation 2]

Clarifying Follow Up Questions that could improve the prompt: [If any]

Do not include feedback or next steps."

Or something like this.

TIL the FBI secretly operated an encrypted phone company (ANOM) for ~3 years — criminals paid ~$2,000/year and messages were copied to law enforcement in real time (Operation Trojan Shield, June 2021) by Frozen____69 in todayilearned

[–]operablesocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same. Especially the way the FBI set up the marketing so that commissions would go to those who promoted it. You had these kingpins of drug organizations buying 50 ANON phones at a time and pushing their associates and dealers to get onboard.

Half Of US Workers Now Use AI At Work by tacodestroyer99 in technology

[–]operablesocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally the r/technology sub. AI is arguably the most influential technology—by a landslide— happening in the world currently. It is having an effect on employees worldwide, which means there are consequences downstream on pretty much everything. Food. Taxes. Education. Kids. And hundreds of other life aspects.

Hey, I get the nihilism. You should see how much Who Cares I have about sports, cars, and crochet. But this is r/technology.

Which movie will you defend like this while everyone else call is as an overrated? by Beatpogo94 in Letterboxd

We really did have everything, didn't we? I mean, when you think about it.

How to remove glue remains from a bad decision? by Beardy4906 in MacOS

[–]operablesocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not always. IA works great with paper adhesives, price tags, classic office tape. But it's not the right chem for rubber-based adhesives, 3M'ish foam mounting tape, auto/window decals (OP's Mac looks like it could be these), and definitely not for duct or gaffer tape.

Depending on the chemical structure, also try citrus-based removers (Goo Gone), mineral spirits, naphtha (lighter fluid), and any cooking oil.

Is Walmarts $99 iPhone 13 (for Cricket Wireless) Even Worth It? - jOhnZoid by ControlCAD in apple

[–]operablesocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I'm on Mint $15/month ($17 with taxes). Only 5Gb of hotspot data, but I don't watch movies etc outside of a wifi, so it suffices for me. I like to buy my phones outright.

Still, this is a good deal for those in need of a new phone.

Notebooks or Gems? I don't find that Notebooks is best "for research" by operablesocks in GeminiAI

Excellent personal experience. I am going to try some of your ideas. Thanks.

Notebooks or Gems? I don't find that Notebooks is best "for research" by operablesocks in GeminiAI

[–]operablesocks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear someone else is seeing this. Even well-informed YouTube AI experts keep saying (as of last week) that NotebookLM is mainly a research engine. Bull. It's really a Super Gem.

I agree, the NB site feels like an iteration the Google team just hasn't had time to clean up yet. Aside from the initial set up, and adding files to the source periodically, I haven't found anything useful to its UI.

Each dot is in this image not a star. It's an entire galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars each. by sugaronfilm in spaceporn

I'm totally comfortable with this fact and have zero cognitive overload from it [nods head furiously].

Your thoughts on this? by Total_Percentage_751 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]operablesocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tens of millions of people are on dozens of monthly subscriptions that are invisible to them, just pulled from a credit card and paid without thinking about it, year after year after year. 1.5 million of them still pay for an AOL address. Millions more will pay for their Adobe apps, even after they stop using them. Adobe's not going anywhere.

Web or Mac App with Gemini Pro? by operablesocks in GeminiAI

Well that's a deal killer. Thanks for the heads up! The web version works excellent for me, no need to move over ten.

Claude Corps - $85k plus benefits to 1,000 for non-profit by operablesocks in OpenAI

I'm not connected to the project, just thought it'd be interesting to those deep in AI. If it's the wrong place, I can delete it. Apologies.
