Has anyone else noticed the “custom instructions” page on ChatGPT?
I wrote a very detailed customer feedback a few weeks ago that describes exactly this functionality (other people probably did too).
It’s absolutely transformative for the utility of the chatbot.
Allows you force context.
I now have the bot respond in very structured manner from selecting a meta-cognition schema through various steps to articulating a response.
A huge improvement. 
Theory checks out.
Third Wednesday in September is probably the most generic and “nothing” date of the whole year.
Summer is gone, holidays are still far away. 🤷♂️
September and October are two months for just getting stuff done. So what is everyone getting done? 🤔
I’m not sure how the logic works here?
For a wallet is it first in first out, or first in last out? Or is it all blended?
Full interview is 16 minutes.
One important takeaway here is that quite a lot of Brits do learn to construct multiple characters and live various aspects of their life “in character”.
This is powerful because you can play a different character at work than you do with your mates, same for family, etc.
It’s very easy to do, once you practice it, which a lot of English schooling emulated with uniforms+surnames v’s casual+nicknames.
I have never really known Americans do this, and it’s why Americans sometimes come across as a bit one dimensional to English speaking Europeans. It’s also why Brits win 10x more Oscars and Grammys per capita.
Then social media came along and violated all your character boundaries and exposed you the creator to your audience, this has since confused younger Brits somewhat as they feel overly “seen”, they have reacted by being more conformist as that’s in their immediate interests, but maybe not their long term interests.
There are times in life when it is empowering to become Ziggy, and other times when it’s better to be Bowie. David Robert Jones (real name) had this figured because he live near a lot of theatre and he’s a smart kid who was schooled accordingly.
Finally, you can heavily normalise playing some characters and you can accidentally become some characters full time, it’s good to occasionally kill them off or violate their norms to break out of negative habits and move your life to a better place.

I agree with this statement 100%.
It’s punching down that is frowned upon.
Interesting. 
I find it very difficult to comprehend Jefferson’s level of prescience here. nostr:note1ljuga7t9tcvv8v4y8g383yrnp090gwnr9x06q4yd36vvjpuegueshkglyy
Hi nostr:npub1w4swqedal6gcw23ndd93tkkdy3zj2l6zjdjvzrhu8rnw0k8lc8lswzprhz . Why are you projecting this just on european atheists? That's really interesting. From my perspective beein atheist is also somehow the trial to group people together to a believe system. For myself, i am not part of any religious organization. This doesn't mean i don't believe in things i don't understand.
I guess because of the reality of where atheists are, there are really only two secular “societies” in the world the Orient and Northern Europe and one of them probably knows Buddhism quite well.
China is an atheist state as a national strategy, but Europeans have got there organically. 
I wonder how many European atheists realise there is no god in Buddhism?
Gonna burn through a lot of volunteers until someone figures out a biz model.
What if you negotiate a 4 digit regional pubkey-prefix with your nearest relay and then POW that prefix before you submit a key to the relay.
That would provide the same hierarchy space as 255.255
Simples.
Works exactly the same.
The only change I have proposed is the address syntax.
🚨 Fun Idea 🚨
Strikes me that TCP/IP is a compromised system in plain sight because IP addresses are all pre-known and centrally allocated by IANA, RIR’s and ISP’s. Everything is premapped and crystallised thereafter, thus traceable and identifiable.
Would it not be much more robust if addresses were generated as keypairs by network nodes and submitted by the nodes to public listing servers?
Bottom up addresses allocation, rather than top down.
1). Every device would generate a public-private keypair when joining the network.
2). Public address listings (relays), each devices public key becomes its address and consolidated lists of addresses are stored and accessed from simple relays, anyone can create an address relay (public or private) and there would likely be some big ones.
3). When A send to B it always encrypts with B’s key and sends to B’s address. No man-in-the-middle attacks.
4). All of IP/TCP remains unchanged except for the IPv4 and IPv6 origin/destination addresses which are simply replaced with locally generated pubkeys (long enough to avoid collisions), rather than centrally allocated IP addresses.
Seems like this would result in an entirely secure and decentralised internet?
Thoughts?
I’ve heard people say that we never evolved to drink milk. They can believe whatever makes them happy but I’m a mammal.
It’s crazy, there must be a market for these!
I really need to finish my iPXE ninja cables.
