Yeah from my perspective I somehow assumed that was the hard part 😅

The intentiom was for the author to supply the data and the LLM to provide the formatting only.

I was intending for the author to chomp in the data and the LLM to spit it out properly formatted.

Yeah newer models are less prone to that problem but definetely agree 🙂

Here’s an example prompt;

Prompt for LLM on Generating APA Citations (7th Edition)

Instructions: I need to create APA format citations for my research paper based on the 7th edition of the APA guidelines. Below are examples of correct APA citations for different types of sources, followed by a list of sources that need to be cited. Please generate the citations accurately, paying special attention to formatting rules such as capitalization, italicization, and punctuation.

Important Formatting Rules:

1. Titles: For journal articles and web pages, use sentence case (capitalize only the first word of the title and subtitle, if any, and any proper nouns). For books and journals, use title case (capitalize all major words) and italicize the title.
2. Authors: List up to 20 authors in the citation. For more than 21 authors, list the first 19 followed by an ellipsis and the final author's name.
3. DOIs and URLs: Always include the full DOI or URL as clickable links without a period at the end.

Citation Examples:

1. Journal article: Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of the article. Title of Periodical, volume number(issue number), pages. https://doi.org/xx.xxx/yyyy

2. Book: Author, A. A. (Year). Title of the book. Publisher.

3. Website: Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title of the webpage. Website Name. URL

4. Johnson, P., Lee, M., & Black, R. (2020). The future of AI in society. AI and Ethics Review, 22(4), 215-230.

Additional Instructions:

• Ensure that article titles are in sentence case, while journal names and book titles are in title case and italicized.
• For multiple authors, follow APA guidelines and use "&" between authors, with commas separating names.
• Make sure DOIs and URLs are accurate and correctly formatted as clickable links.

Once you have generated the citations, please double-check for consistency in formatting (capitalization, italics, and punctuation) and ensure that all sources follow the APA 7th edition rules.

Thank you!

Definetely quoting me! 😅

“Absurd amounts of collected data and AI systems targeting human fears helped Trump win the election.”

This is part of the reason why privacy matters!

Two pirates walk into a bar, err sorry, two POLICEMEN walk into a bar.

The bar is a shady sort, classic barkeep spits in a glass, and polishes it with a dirty tablecloth.

The policemen sit down each on his own bar stool, but the stools have been recently polished, and one of them slips falling on the floor and snagging his pants on the stool, making them drop to his ankles.

The other policeman in an effort to help his partner, reaches down to help, only to be pulled down by his partner, snagging his own pants while falling and landing crotch-to-butt on top of his partner! Now this is starting to stir up quite the commotion and people are starting to notice this trouble. They both start writhing with pants snagged trying to stand up only for the rubbing to accidentally escalate into a bit of sweaty greasy butt-action, making things even more awkward for the already red-faced policemen! At this point they start pushing and grunting trying there hardest to wriggle out of this position.

A guy told this at a stand-up competition broadcast live a few years ago and nobody in the audience laughed, and nobody watching with me, except for me. It's still one of my favorites :D It kind of has to be told verbally and the more time for "The aristocrats" style shenanigans you have the better. I like to tell it at meetings with clients and then enjoy the crickets once nobody laughs except me :D

Dude I love you. ❤️

I used ChronoBox, a deravitive of https://distrobox.it/ to scp the source back to 2024.

And yes, we’re pretty sure 2204 is the gonna be the year of linux desktop!!!

Ubuntu 2204 with normal Gnome on a Thinkpad T14, used for both work and personal stuff. Been eyeing Fedora Silverblue for a while…

For gaming I use GeforceNow on that same laptop.
