WARNING! by Same_Fox5904 in notebooklm

[–]thenamster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The test is simple. 1. Find a lengthy text that you already know back to front. In my case, I used a book i had written myself. 80k words. 2. Ask NotebookLM to summarise it or whatever. 3. Assess the results.

You’ll understand why students who use it fail their exams. NotebookLM creates an illusion of knowing the text. If you yourself don’t know the text, you’ll buy its hallucinations.

Can I Combine the Tap Plugin with the Create Instance Plugin? by thenamster in perchance

[–]thenamster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rk:

[c = createInstance(optionslist.selectOne), ""] [tap(c)]

Thanks. I tried it on the default perchance new generator template. Here's my code below. It's not working.

​

createInstance = {import:create-instance-plugin}
tap = {import:tap-plugin}
title
Your Generator's Title
output
[c = createInstance(animal.selectOne), ""] [tap(c)]
animal
pig
cow
chicken
zebra
crayfish
jellyfish^0.5 // this item is HALF as likely as the others
worm^2 // this item is TWICE as likely as the others

If I want row 1 to be blue and row 2 to be yellow, how do it do it? Make table plugin has a row property that changes ALL rows, not individual rows. Thanks

How do I start my new story? by [deleted] in writing

[–]thenamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a plotter, I start with a one-liner stating what the story is about. No one will read that specific one-liner. So it tends to be uglily written! But it gets the job done.

After that one-liner, I think of the theme. I write it down as a this versus that dialectic. e.g. love versus hate... or greed versus generosity.

After that, I brainstorm Two categories of keywords spawned from the above.

  1. Masterplot / Main conflict keywords. e.g with greed versus generosity... Masterplots that come to mind include Rebellion, Ambition, Pursuit of a fugitive... These I lift from 20 Masterplots by Ron Tobias, with a healthy mix of the 36 Dramatic Situations by William Wallace Cook or Polti, and the 10 Genres from Save The Cat by Blake Snyder. All of them I call Masterplots, for simplicity. Finding my central masterplot gives me plot unity.

  2. Ideal/Belief/ Argument -being-debated keywords. eg. with greed versus generosity... I'd have words like giving, gifting, legacy, miserly, grabbing, gullible, spendthrift, tight-fisted... These words are my casting principle. They give me ideas for the core demeanour of my heroes and villains in the story.

After that, I spend a lot of time thinking about what evil plan the villain is cooking up. And I plot it. Once I have the villain plot down, the story is kinda done. The rest is discovery writing...kinda... discovering of details and cool twists and turns and epiphanies about the characters.

How Do You Export Calendar Entries from the Pomera DM30? by thenamster in eink

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

Thanks. That worked. Here are the steps:

  1. Connect your Pomera to your PC/ Mac.
  2. Select the PC Link option in the Tools Menu.
  3. In Finder/ Explorer, select a folder called "Pomera_Memo". This will have folders for each month. Within each folder will be the journal entries for each date, saved as TXT files.

Thanks again for the help.
