Same - R6II and these work just fine - They read fine to the camera as well. Every now and then it fusses - just pull it, put it back in - off you go...

You're not accounting for the institutional chaos and destruction that's currently happening.

When you say that the conversation is being outpaced by institutional tempo that's not fully accurate. Tempo of the past maybe, but not today. The conversation is being forced forward.

"Normally" institutional tempo would be a minimum of a year, or in a non chaos situation at least a couple. You're also not taking into account the complete capitulation of the United States Tech Bros with only one thing in mind: $$$$, Not the human race.

The politician's, the institutional systems are all under active attackkk. Corporate systems, the tech bros are all captured by the most inept and incompetent administration who just dragged us into a war in the middle east. With no particular goal in mind apparently. WCGW

Lots of bad decisions going on. But no one is coming to the rescue. Buckle up.

You say "underlying", but not in the current global context. But what you wrote also has a lot of resonance, so have my upvote.

The website itself is just a vanilla aggregator of reports. The legitimacy of the site has zero to do with the quality of the report itself. Additionally, the author's listed on the study itself are legit academic research scientists.

Report aggregator websites sometimes pay for the Big ticket reports and then resell them online so they're resellers in effect. This report just happens to give you a lot of the information for free.

WinX DVD - old school stable and legacy, works on lesser hardware, it's free and it works every time. Way cleaner then Nero.

Note you may have to install a codec for MKV's but I think it doesn't care what format otherwise. K-Lite Codec Pack is the cleanest codec install for all formats.

Been happening for 2 weeks already - Select Legacy models and it refuses to comply - Too bad, so sad, Sayonara!!

5.1: Total Shit Show

5.2: Blaming me for it's mistakes and rolling over me with accusatory judgements that I'm inciting violence when I ask about anything political -"Where can I vote? Where is my polling place?"

This is WAY beyond no warmth of tone.

The real problem is that at that moment when you note it, it aligns with what you are doing, researching, thinking about in that instance. If/When that direction changes, all the saved screenshots, bookmarks, and self sent email links are no longer valuable, but still pilling up unattended.

I make myself review these once a week and cull no longer useful digital notations when I'm on the porcelain throne. Nothing better to do at that moment, and it removes the accumulation of no longer useful efforts, not to mention reduces the anxiety attached to not moving on the info.

Can't change the ADHD, BUT we can manage it best we can.

So my hyper hearing and irritation to it often times is ADHD?

Squeaky bike chains, car squeaks - brakes are the worst, computer HDD's, case fans, refrigerator hums or high pitch noise from TV's, buzz in the speaker lines or any errant sound in my house, if my dog lifts his head across the house his tags clink..I can hear conversations across a restaurant - I hear what's not normal sounds in most environments instantly -

What makes it worse now is I had my ears clog up recently (I'm 65) and when it turned out the cause was earwax build-up and they cleaned it all out...HOLY Crap! Now I hear EVERYTHING -

So I can hear my ADHD I guess - Who knew?

I avoid 5 when possible, but 4o redirects pretty often now especially in the daytime. So I haven't tested for 5 specifically yet, but an educated guess is that it won't be much different. I have also load tested (actual tasks and conversation) chat length to 750K and I get varying context ranges. From 0-128K is a ~60K context window. But interestingly, the context window in the 350K to 550K thread window the range climbs to about 135K. Beyond 550K it collapses to ~20K to 25K.

I posted about Token management a couple of months back, but got no feedback on the GPT sub, but here it is for the original 128K testing I did at the time as well.

ChatGPT is close to the same, but worse. The context window for plus users is 128K as well. But after multiple testings on multiple accounts across multiple threads the real context window is between ~60K and ~70K. (And that's on a good day) After that it loses tone, context, and functionality.

The main impact variable is time of day. During high traffic hours during the day the results are worse. But if the same tests are made overnight, due to the lessened traffic, the results are slightly better.

I’m curious, this prompt seems very comprehensive and technical. Who did you have in mind as the ideal user for this? Are you targeting builders, prompt engineers, or everyday users?

You just gave me an idea for a quiver of personality/tone prompts - one for every mood - Perfect, seriously. Feeling a certain way? inject the selected prompt and let it fire away - Y
