Aus der beliebten Serie "Wir brauchen kein Fachpersonal, AI-Prompts kann sogar ein Manager schreiben":

Laut Amanda Askell von Anthropic ist Prompt Engineering mehr als nur Ausprobieren. Philosophie habe ihr geholfen, Anweisungen an KI-Tools klarer zu formulieren.

!!! Ein Grundpfeiler bestehe beispielsweise darin, Ideen klar und präzise zu kommunizieren. !!!

I was in a part of Meeker today where these coral mushrooms (I should really check for a proper identification) have sprouted in massive quantity.

This one was backed by a lovely moss field so it gets the post, though there were a lot of pretties. We have basically been in a cloud here for a week, so the fungus is just thrilled.

And right next to the fungus, a mysterious face embedded in the tree roots!

Heated cat bed recommendations? I'm looking for something to put on my home office desk next to my computer, so my cat stops trying to crawl into my lap while I'm working.

Ideally something durable...the first couple beds I got her (years ago) she thought were toys and ripped them to shreds.

Catching a late afternoon December sunset on Hill Lane at Penshaw, Sunderland in NE England.
Visited this location with my camera a number of times in the run-up to the winter solstice, knowing that the sun sets at just the right point of the compass at this time of the year (even captured it in the snow!).
Every time I hope someone will pass by, maybe someone on horseback from the nearby stables, after all, it is a public bridleway.
I'm still hoping!

2026 월드컵 축구는 각 절반의 다시 절반에 3분 동안의 '수분섭취 휴식'을 신설한다고 한다. 즉 전후반이 아니라 사실상 4등분. 광고 수익 더 많이 내겠다는 야심은 알겠지만, 경기 흐름이 어떤 식으로 꺾일지는 뚜껑을 열어봐야.

@demize i do not know the people at analogue. i believe from watching their actions that the problem is they actually are supply constrained, not that they're *trying* to be this way. what i *hope* turns out to be the case is that they watch to see which A3D colors sell out *first*, and in future production runs they produce extra of that color or just do a run of "white, black, [2 colors that sold best in december]". but i do not know the people at analogue.

@demize I do think this batch will sell out much quicker than whatever batches they do next year. They fulfilled the preorder batch; the day after the preorders shipped they did a small batch of new orders, which are mostly believed to be the stock from cancelled preorders; and so since they guarantee delivery Dec 24, whatever they put up on Dec 10 logically must be *only as much as they could make between preorder fulfilment and Dec 10*. The website uses the phrase "Highly limited quantites."
