Could you explain, however, how could the grid make node graphs browsable by keyboard?
>> have clear expectations
This is exactly what I do all day, for about 20 years already, so I think I've got this covered. Where do I go from here?
Could you summarize the essence of the prpompting skill in a couple of sentences? Are there concepts that are critical to learn and master (e.g. 'chain of thought', etc.)?
This is exactly what we are trying to achieve with Ultraforge: https://www.filterforge.com/ultraforge/
It will be focused on images at first, but if it takes of, nothing prevents us from adding other types of nodes (audio, etc.)
Haven't looked back since.
I would honestly prefer blunt, straightforward, de-GPTified communication style. I hate the idea of wasting my time on reading substance-free filler, regardless of whether it was written by an AI or not.
By the way, "The War of Art", and its sequel, "Turning Pro" are fantastic books on this topic. These books would be my number one recommendation to anyohe who aspires to be an artist.
As for his present-day popularity among younger people, it isn't as high as that of, for example, Queen or Pink Floyd -- though I had a ride with a young Uber driver who was entranced with Les Chants Magnétiques that we heard playing on the car radio.
And as for me personally, I currently have three of his songs in my Spotify favorites.
I found a trick that I called "graveyard jumping", which involved sneaking a Level 1 character into a high-level zone far enough to reach the area of the next graveyard before dying, then the next graveyard, then the next.
After a couple of days of survival horror gameplay, I had a dozen of Level 1 characters in multiple high-level areas of the world. The point of reaching these areas was vendors with rare items on cooldowns -- usually recipes or trade books.
I would log into those Level 1 characters (to sheer bewilderment of higher-level locals), buy the cooldown items from the vendors, then send them via mail to my main character in the capital, who would sell the items on the Auction House at an enormous markup, collect the profits, and send some gold to the Level 1 characters so they could cover their item mailing fees.
I never raided or belonged to a guild, but I had so much money that a friend, who was a leader of a high-ranking raiding guild, sometimes came to me to borrow some gold.
Good times!
I haven't been reading news since mid-August. I was in Georgia a that time, and I noticed just how much reading news (especially Russia-related news) made me sick. At the place I stayed at, there was another girl who was also feeling sick from reading news, so we decided to do a full detox -- no news, no politics in discussions.
So we unsubscribed from all political channels (our biggest news source was Telegram), and left all chats and groups where politics and news were being discussed.
I'm not looking back. I don't worry that I'll miss some major piece of news. I'll hear it here on HN anyway, or, if it's Russia-specific, I'll inevitably get it forwarded to me by friends who still read news. For example, here's how I learned that Mikhail Gorbachev has died: I read it here on HN, and a friend who was sitting next to me, read about it in a Telegram channel about high fashion.
So, I have no plans to get back to that dopamine hell. My life is too short for that.
The post is just an opportunity to bring the quote to our attention, and it can be safely disregarded or interpreted more widely.
BTW, my dentist of 20 years is the same. At twelve, she knew that she will have her own dental clinic -- and she did open her own clinic about 10 years ago (she previously worked for hire). She's the best dentist I've ever had, and even though she doesn't do much work herself nowadays, her hires are excellent.
