What a cool project and design!! May I ask how you printed the templates? I always have trouble getting things printed at 1:1 scale

One day we will find the fabled Fouriest transform

I love solvespace! It’s so useful to have a lightweight constraint solver around

I didn’t! But that’s a good point, I wonder if people (or at least the cross-section of people that participated in that data labeling) see those features as signaling e.g. competence or helpfulness

I used to love overusing emdashes and bolded list headings. Alas…

It seems bluesky's image compression muddled the text a bit. here's the full text: pastebin.com/DNxnpZB4

It's really horrifying. Below is Gab's current system prompt. It seems to change roughly weekly, presumably at Torba's whims.

A lot (e.g. Holocaust denial) has been in there since Jan '24, some (e.g. seed oils) is newer. I assume the paid models are as bad or worse, though I can't verify.

It’s somewhat niche, pretty much just for putting up aluminum siding AFAIK. You can’t use stainless or galvanized for that purpose or you’ll get galvanic corrosion.

While I'm on the topic: after the reporting by WIRED et al on their system prompt (telling the bot to, among other things, deny the Holocaust), Gab briefly removed those instructions – reintroducing them about a week later, after the news cycle passed.

Their prompt has not changed much as of today:

My hope is that the high-profile instances of open political manipulation that we’ve seen from e.g. Grok and Gab will reduce that blind trust – we’ve seen that many providers have a desire to manipulate the output, and this will presumably remain even as their methods become more sophisticated. 2/2

Fractals!

Ooh yes!

I find it very enjoyable!

Oh I didn’t know about this, what a great feature!
