"Find a primary care physician in my area who is taking new patients and accepts my insurance. Give me your top three candidates, and book an appointment within the next six weeks with your top choice."

Claude: Would you like to go to Bermuda instead?


That's not just an observation, it's an insight. Words are doing the real work.


This just makes me angry!

I really wonder if they can fix it. Fable 5.1 claims to speak humanese, but we'll see.

I tend to think this wierd limited vocabulary/style they use is an unwanted side effect of all the the RL training, perhaps also of being trained on their own synthetic content over multiple training cycles.


It’s not just limited vocabulary, it’s low key gaslighting. And honestly you’re so real for that!

I've been playing with it, and it's a lot of fun. Your site is light on who you are, how you do it, and what happens to all my info. Someone is paying for your LLM back end. I'm on your free tier, so it's not me. I'd like to know that y'all will be around in a year.


Gift link to Emily Wilson's NYT Article "Exit Hector, Again and Again: How Different Translators Reveal the ‘Iliad’ Anew"

Worth a read.

Her Translator’s Notes at the preface of her translation of the Odyssey are fascinating to read (as was her translation).

Kind of meta for this question:

Setapp https://setapp.com/

It's a (yet another) subscription service ($10/mo) to some 100 apps, many mentioned here. It's how I learned about:

- Better Touch Tool - Paw - iStatMenus - Marked (I already owned this, but using it in setapp gives Brett a bit of cash per launch) - and a handful of others that I needed to use just once or twice


Drafts (iOS app) can do that. And it can save to Evernote as well.

But between Pinboard & Drafts, I don't use Evernote any more.


I've tried Drafts (and pretty much every other app that supports Dropbox sync) and none felt as intuitive as Notebooks[1]. There is even a free iPhone version[2] you can try. Has support for Markdown and Webdav as well!

And what's the pictures illustrating this article? Why tattoos on women's backs? Especially when, as you point out, women appear in the article only as potential sex partners.


We use Restdown for REST API doc. https://github.com/trentm/restdown

For topic documentation we use Confluence, but not particularly enamored with it.


I don't know if she's still in business, but this sounds like what you're looking for: http://demogirl.com/


Pborestein, Thanks this looks good as well. I was more looking for graphics/animation demo videos. Anyway, I'll give this a try as well.
