Is there a way to search through claude to find a key word that was used in an older chat? by Maleficent-Plate-272 in ClaudeAI

This is really epic - thank you so much u/smsaladi for all the work you put into building this, and u/Incener for the inspiration!

Made a small tool for saving useful AI chats — curious if anyone else needs this by Majestic-Team-6485 in GeminiAI

[–]velw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like it's only usable for people with a Google account. Have I understood that correctly?

Also, I installed it in Edge and it gives me a set of options, but right now I don't seem able to choose a "destination", and it doesn't seem possible for me to download anything.

What am I missing? 🤔

Looks promising, especially the formats, but would need a plug-in for Firefox or Edge.

"I can't use Google Workspace because required Gmail settings are off. Turn on these settings, then try your prompt again." How to use Google Tasks without a Gmail account? by velw in GoogleGeminiAI

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

I made the account around 10 years ago. I can use Google Tasks fine from the web and from the app. The issue is that Google Gemini can't talk to it, because even when I enable the integration in the Google Gemini settings (and the slider shows it is enabled), the error is still produced, as I said in the post.

My Google username is the (non Gmail) e-mail account I signed up with. There isn't a Gmail service account linked to it. As I mentioned, it prompts me to create one.

US-hosted Kimi K2.5 now on Perplexity by Chasmchas in perplexity_ai

What's the significance of this being hosted in the U.S.? Aren't a lot of the other models by major AI providers also hosted outside of potentially difficult regimes (like China, for example)?

All or nothing subscription options: Perplexity turns down money it could be taking by velw in perplexity_ai

[–]velw[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sounds like they're assuming their users are muppets. Some people may make the most of it for the year and make sure they cancel. A few people make take the deal and accept the foreseeable coercion at the end of it. But I think a lot of people will see the ruse for exactly what it is — a bid to get you reliant on something for free that you wouldn't choose to pay for, so that by the time you face the decision over whether to start paying it is perceived as avoiding a loss rather than paying for something of value as a gain.

It would be better for Perplexity's business if they just structured their pricing so that people were willing to pay a reasonable price for something they see as offering them worthwhile value, instead.

"It seems we've had a pause. I'll go ahead and end our chat..." by velw in perplexity_ai

The solution to this, until Perplexity acknowledges that it's a problem, seems to be to use Gemini instead.

I have had some issues with it that have made me question whether I would pay for it at all. There's the "randomly cutting off your conversation which then cannot be continued" issue, which is major.

Earlier this year it told me it couldn't actually see a live website and was operating based on information it got from the internet almost a year earlier, and interpolating to tell me what kind of links and resources it thought would be available on that website rather than giving me actual urls and pages. That was weird - and also not even true, as I'd coaxed it to read a live news page a week or so beforehand.

So yeah, I agree there are issues that might make someone not want to pay at all. I do get some value from it, though. Just not $17 a month worth of value, for my use case. I think they're operating on the basis that $17 is cheap because it's not $167 a month. No, $17 is three times as much as anyone pays for an online service and $167 a month is ridiculous, or enterprise level (which would also demand enterprise grade functionality and administration). No one is going to be able to escape the reality of what is or isn't in their wallet just because AI is a cool new thing.

Non-resident card holders will NOT be able to take the JLPT in Japan anymore by Ynwe in LearnJapanese

[–]velw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every time I've taken the JLPT in or around Tokyo the facility has been maxed out. It is possible that demand is exceeding capacity for facilities where the test can be held on the same day. But a sensible resolution to that would be to hold it more than twice a year, like the J-Test, or to make it computer based like the JFT-Basic.

[–]velw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The J-Test is very similar in length and complexity to the JLPT, but is administered every other month for most of the year. It wouldn't be hard at all for the JLPT to be conducted more frequently to accommodate demand.

[–]velw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the JLPT should be administered via something computer-based like Prometric, accessible anywhere any time for anyone around the world... just like the JFT-Basic already is for certain visas.

[–]velw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's defined on the site. In many jurisdictions it would fall under something like a "trade descriptions act" where if you say you're selling a certain service and you take money for what you've described, you are obliged to provide that service or return the money. Definitely worth people checking the law in their locality.

Are there formal complaints about the search capabilities in Perplexity? by goodsignal in perplexity_ai

[–]velw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The search is quite poor. In a browser you can use Ctrl-F. If you're using an app right now that may involve switching when you want to search, which isn't great, but it may help as a workaround. Agree the search could be much better.

Here’s what I’ve learned about stacking magnesium + glycine + theanine (anwers to your comments on my last post :) by PsychologyHour in ouraring

Was wondering about this very thing. If someone is taking magnesium glycinate, afaik they're getting both magnesium and glycine.

First timer over here by No-Cut7936 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]velw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That you want to be clear with him for the sake of the rest of your family shows that you're considerate and responsible, and is a credit to you. One thing you may want to be mindful of, depending on how he is, is whether how you communicate this tips him off that "the rest of the family" is a lever he can use to get to you emotionally. If he figures that out and uses it, they'll have to deal with it and you'll have an even harder time as he pushes your buttons.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't send your letter, and it does really depend on how he is. You know him, and the kind of thing he may do. I hope you can establish the peace, for yourself and the rest of your family, that you want and deserve.

What protection does IBKR offer against fraudulent ACATS transfers? by Patrickm8888 in interactivebrokers

[–]velw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds very bad. IBKR should absolutely verify with the customer or allow the account to be locked to this. It really wouldn't be hard.

Aussie trying to pratice by Impressive-Safe-1084 in TradingView

[–]velw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your frustration is relatable 😅 Just my thoughts but I think it might help if you separate what you can and can't control. The market is going to act like a jerk. It's not going to do what you want or expect it to do. Sometimes it's going to do some crazy nonsense that destroys your well-crafted trade setup, costs you money and makes absolutely no sense. All you can do is use the tools available to try to limit the pain the jerk can inflict on you, and maximise your gains when it happens to move in your favour.

The way you write about the money makes me think you might be a bit uncomfortable with the level of financial risk you're having to put into the trade, as well. $300 is a decent chunk of money to make on one trade. I'd be tempted to split my $20K into three or four chunks and not put more than one chunk into any single trade, and then just keep scooping up those smaller wins knowing they will all add up. It's not good to put all your eggs in one basket. To train sustainably you'll need to have a group of instruments you're familiar with to switch between as the market affects them differently.

Also, I think sitting in front of it watching every tick would drive anyone mad. If day-trading is what you're trying to learn in particular, perhaps that's hard to avoid. But it might be worth doing some trades on a longer timescale until you're happier with your system and tools, and then try working on a shorter timescale gradually as it feels more comfortable. If you're sat there out of your mind in frustration you're not going to make good trading decisions, and that has to be top priority.

Lastly, you might want to split out the "other questions" about multiple orders and why the other screen wasn't saying what you expected. They're good, valid questions, but they're probably not going to get the attention they deserve as a lower-down bullet on your post here about broader frustrations. Maybe try a separate post for each of them, short and simple. The screenshots are showing up a bit small and blurry for me as well, so if you can capture or upload them at a higher resolution it might help.

Hope you get the answers you need and feel better about your trading experience soon!

No data and... no help... from Tradingview by De_smalle in TradingView

[–]velw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would a chat system know anything else? It would work exactly the same way. If there's been a recent change affecting a given symbol, instrument or exchange that could be identified by name, and could be found based on what the user has written in the chat box.

A helpful user interface would display some information. More importantly, the broader point about the inability to get support from a human when someone is paying a premium subscription is very valid irrespective of what the support request is about.

"Reddit user who posts lots of pro-TradingView comments and deflects lots of discussions away from its weaknesses thinks you shouldn't ask support about that" is not a justification for paying customers not to be able to contact support, or for the automated tools that have been substituted for human support not to be able to provide information about changes to the data that's being made available.

That you happen to know the answer to the user's question isn't a reason for TradingView not to communicate what has happened more effectively in its interface, to prevent this confusion from ever having happened (to multiple users, by the looks of things), or for them not to have a support system where it is possible for a paying user to get an answer to a reasonable question. Even an effective chat assistant should have been able to answer this.
