So predict the tokens of the operational transformation. I just asked: Write the operational transformation sequence and command to turn “this is really beautiful” to “this is very very beautiful” and in return got: You can map this out by

I am saying to directly output the operational transformation instructions as the tokens. You’re essentially telling it to “write the diff” and then applying the patch. [retain(8), delete(6), insert("very very"), retain(10)]

I have a dumb performance question. Why when asking a model to change text in a minor way; are we not asking it to generate the operational transformations necessary to modify the text, and then just executing the ot on the existing text vs

Using AI in an intentional way with purpose and direction should be great for practicing thinking. The right way to teach children to use AI is to teach them to scope, filter, design process, edit, refine. How to ask a question, how to thin

For kids playing dressup and role model purposes, if they are going to reboot the sequels they should reboot Rey and Kylo. Same rough characters, new story. Nobody struggles with multiple Joker variants running around. Batman is still Batma

Pass2U Wallet works great, but like many apps, it really should just be a feature to begin with. You can also make passes for other people and send them / share them. Looks like someone else recommended a competitor Pass4 Wallet as wel

3% at restaurants is offset by 3% fee to use cards at restaurants. this benefit is evaporating. not an argument for or against cards, but they are becoming closer to neutral than a discount.

The Top 40 songs were already soulless. Now that anyone can generate a halfway decent pop song at the snap of the finger leads to one of three outcomes. We all just listen to our own interactive stations and have no shared culture, pressur

I would take every news site delivering straight text, and letting me pick the page layout template to apply to all of them. Some kind of markup language that could be transmitted and then respect the users preferences as far as rendering.

You're ignoring what I said. They work better when turning it into a two step process. Step 1 create a template. Step 2 execute the template. >The large models have already ingested plenty of New Yorker, NYT, The Times, FT, The Eco

Or you could just talk to powerpoint, which creates a self contained pptx, which also plays anywhere. we've hit this point where its cool to have claude reinvent every wheel just because it can.

The thing about "switching" is you just need to capture the next generation. Kids who have an iPhone 17e. Then go off to college.
