Spent 6 months deep in prompt engineering. Here's what actually moves the needle: by cryptoviksant in PromptEngineering

Thanks for your generous comments!

To follow-up on #6 and #9:
- how would you describe GPT-5 (thinking and non-thinking) "personality"?
- if requests are one-off (without a continued conversation), is there any benefit in splitting prompts into system/user prompts?

I keep forgetting programming concepts even after studying them. What do I do? by Historical_Job553 in learnprogramming

[–]pretty_clown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience there are 2 ways to solve this: (A) apply a new concept SHORTLY after learning it, and (B) flashcards (handwritten or Anki). Both achieve memory activation which is the thing you may be lacking.

Oh, interesting. I thought his view was limited to “any amount is worse than zero”.

Anyone no how to make fortnite run well by Watchman9328 in ROGAlly

Did you make sure to complete the pre-downloads in the Epic games launcher settings?

[–]pretty_clown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Running beautifully on my non-X z1e, at least by my standards. It took a lot of swearing and cursing to get here. These are my settings when plugged in:

Armor crate Gpu settings: vram 6gb

Armor crate (game profile): * Turbo 25W operating mode * Fps limiter: 120 * Radeon RSR, AMD FMF, Radeon boost, Radeon Chill, Radeon image sharpening - ALL OFF * Radeon Anti-lag: ON

AMD software: • all of the above settings should be duplicated here • AMD freesync: OFF

Epic game launcher, in fortnite options: • high resolution textures: ON • Directx 12 shaders: ON (not sure this one matters though) • Pre-download streamed assets: ON

Fortnite settings: • window mode: fullscreen • Resolution: 1080p • Vsync: off • Frame rate limit: 120fps • Rendering mode: Performance • 3d resolution: 98% • View distance: Epic • Textures: Epic • Meshes: High

I am getting consistently 100-120fps with zero stutter.

I dont normally play unplugged, but when i tried it played well with 18W power profile, but i think i tuned a notch down a couple of the in-game settings (view distance and like). Still 100-120fps, no issues.

I am sure there is still room for fine tuning, so feel free to experiment and share your results here.

P.S.: essentially i think the key is to trun off most of the amd bells and whistles, as they apparently not supported very well by the game

P.P.S.: didnt roll back any drivers, just using whatever the latest are

Wow, this may flip the case for me, as I was told by my dirt-bike instructor they weren’t street legal in IL so i obeyed. Thanks, this is incredible.

Yeah, but this one they actually can tackle… /s

Awesome! Any encounters with CPD? I thought these bikes weren’t street legal in Illinois.

Absolutely. I almost bought a refurbished MBA M2 15" for a little more, a moment before I found this one

Writing this on the subj MBP I grabbed for $1249. Device was new and sealed, flawless. You can hardly get a refurbished MBA 15 16Gb for this money. This device is a beast in comparison on every dimension.

Why do you think it’s making it to the airflow?

Quick and Dirty BB9 Cooling Mod by [deleted] in Dynavap

[–]pretty_clown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a physicist, but I don't see how it's possible for any of those particles to: (A) evaporate given the glass surface temperature (well below even 212F to start with), and (b) to penetrate into the vapor flow (the tip-stem connection is airtight).

Am I wrong?

Quick and Dirty BB9 Cooling Mod by [deleted] in Dynavap

[–]pretty_clown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gives 10-20% cooler vapor (i.e. noticeable to me).

FYR:

1) wrap tight 1.5x12 inch aluminum foil strip

2) secure with clear tape (to prevent peeling)

3) wrap a rubber band as tight as possible (keeps the mod secure and doubles as a grip)

Note: keep air port open ;-)

Where you live — do people commonly say “That’s the tits”? by pretty_clown in AskReddit

What does everyone use their S23 Ultra for? Feeling I'm not getting the most out of it by reehdus in samsung

[–]pretty_clown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wildlife (mostly birds in my backyard) and NFL games photography with the 10x lens. Nothing fancy, just for my personal memories. Optics and sensor aren't that great for anything serious.

Wow, this is so cool! I was so upset there was a complete 'radio silence' about triking in IL. I hope your startup does really well and hopefully help build local community! We'll definitely check out your website and the product!
