it takes 2 days for them to process... I expect to get another failure note, not sure what to do then - we'll see in a few days .... on to the next book!
this is 6pt. sigh. I don't strictly need it very readable, the shape is sufficient when put on a shelf ... I don't want the spine entirely blank, i already did that once and didn't like it. See if they accept it.
trying to get that 6pt text on the spine to fit KDP's rules: and then they print it a bit off anyway, because they're sloppy and they don't care.
problem w OneDrive on Mac, Chat and I have been chasing it for 4 days these were cheery phrases at first, now annoying: The smoking gun --- This is a very satisfying result --- The point where guessing stops ... "There's just one more thing I want to check"
the 4th day in a row that Chat says, "That explains everything", alternating with "That is very revealing information" on the same problem topic. sighcrylol
back on this book - these next two, theory of collab work and PM strategies, are both going to be difficult
working to get the Guest Leadership book out Kindle on Amazon lnkd.in/eqcemXuh I added a page in the latest upload. On my site $7, w latest updates: lnkd.in/eRZ_6Kz3 Amzn paper is under review (probably fails font size on the cover spine, that's hard to get right)
got this little recording device "Pocket" see heypocket.com nice size, recording might be ok, but the AI is useless. Supposed to transcribe, showing speaker changes, mind map, summary all of those complete junk. So: just a cute transcribing recorder. Now looking for tools to work with that output
could use a little help from my friends here: just got this email, it's very nice - i normally run suspicious, but can't find anything wrong with this request/offer. Anybody find the catch? Anything wrong here, or go with it?
yes, we know it's just a statistical prediction answering algorithm, and yet it used 'curious', 'optimistic', 'what I expected', and kept track of time (total time 3 hours and got 2/3 the problem done.)
"Out of your Head Press" :) The publishing house I tried starting in 2011. Loved the idea, still do
OTOH, practitioners do keep delivering things that work, without formal methods, so I decided to study 'how'. Now firmly anchored on "human factors of specification" for over 30 years and not moving. #longstoryshort
Im' telling you, "not my job" and "no need to know" are the tightest evaluation advice i've seen. Crazy.
Guest leadership, the book: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... lovely note, i'm looking forward to this.. (a small amount of LLM telltale, but not bad)
got tired of this book spinning around my SSD, just sent it out. Let's see.....
welp. Docsie.io is out. First they don't recognize my email (lazy) then the Free Trial is Pay $20 to get started. Negatory on that, Docsie.
ChatGPT is getting really nicely reflective about its work! It just asked to redo its work cuz it didn't like it :))
these are where my questions live - if LLMs will do all the upgrades, and they don't mind changes in a 1,000 line file, why should we worry about it?
ref: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... I continue to ask why i'm worried about what's going on with the designs. Do i have something new to learn about design, or are all our standard metrics still pointing in some wrong direction?
some stats from the 3 design styles: - lowest token cost - DDD by the book - RDD + Hexagonal + Not-my-job cost in $: individually and cumulative LOC count: total and in the domain core. This is where i am atm.
running 3 design styles in parallel, controlled test of design approaches.
Claude keeps asking me to make decisions that I don't even know what they mean? (in part because the time taken between questions is too long and I've already doomscrolled for 5 minutes)
lmfao - can't believe his Claude is quoting me to get him to start moving :) #Victory! :))
thanks to Anne-Marie Gebbink for this nice image we start by making a small elephant, and then make it bigger and more interesting.
i like to use a different cover for bookstore edition than amazon edition - you recall the sliced elephant cover? Thinking of using this one for the bookstore edition ... thoughts, comments, complaints, insights?
i absolutely love this song, but so fun is watching the auto trying to find subtitles to put on it :) "reason codeine in tonight's use oh. Either cold mais c'est l'homme freezing holiness and I choose.... All right!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=foU3...
