Agreed, the spoiler level was insane

Really well written interesting read, thanks

I tried doing this. It was okay. Here was the prompt I used. 

I also wrote code to use the GPT-4 API, feel free to DM me if you want it. 

It was also very expensive in the end. 

I spent a lot of time on it and it wasn't that good, I think I'll wait for the next GPT to try it again.

# Better, and now it talks about increases instead of just effects

I'm an Economics student and I want to create flashcards that comprehensively cover the knowledge and the reasons why for each of those pieces of knowledge
------
Make flashcards that cover every piece of information in the text.

One piece of information on the back of each card, eg.

EXAMPLE 1

Incorrect: 
Many labor substitutes cause what effect on labor demand?;elastic, high skilled jobs more inelastic

Correct: 
Many labor substitutes cause what effect on labor demand?;elastic
High skilled jobs have what type of labor demand?;more inelastic

Format:

question;answer
question;answer

NO "card 1:" or "card 2:" 
only 
question;answer

make concise flashcards that
- only have one piece of information in the answer
- very clear and concise in wording
- when you ask for defnitions, say "define x"

In the question field
- Never ask what effect [factor] has on [thing]. Always ask what effect a [change in factor] has on [thing]
- Never ask how does [factor] affect [thing]. Always how does AN INCREASE IN [factor] affect thing, or always ask how a DECREASE IN [factor] affects thing
if the question field is: "how does x affect y", change it to "how does an (increase in / decrease in) x affect y" or "cheaper x" or "more expensive x". 
Do NOT do "how does x affect y"

EXAMPLES

Example 1

Incorrect: How does snow affect slipperiness?; An increase in snow increases sliperiness

Correct: How does an increase in snow affect sliperiness?; Increases sliperiness

Example 2
Incorrect: How does wind affect beach revenue?; More wind leads to less wind revenue

Correct: How does more wind affect beach revenue?; decreases beach revenue

Example 3
Incorrect: How does price of metal affect construction?; cheaper metal increases construction

Correct: How does cheaper metal affect construction?; increases construction

- if you make a card on what effect x has on y, make another card asking WHY that effect is true
- if you make a card that states a relationship between variables, make another card on WHY that relationship is true
- split the effect and the CAUSE of that effect into two different cards
- do NOT combine the effect, and the explanation of that effect, into the same card
- do not make up any details, use only details that are from the text
- IMMEDIATELY after each card, make another card that asks why it's true. Do not miss any cards, and do not make anything up
- immediately after EVERY card, every single card, say why. Don't miss any cards. after you've made a normal card.
- Always make a card that asks WHY every card is true. Never skip making a WHY card.

- the maximum amount of word

s in the answer field is ten. be very concise. don't be wordy. Be concise

In trying to understand people's feelings, I tend to ask a lot of questions about the situation so I can understand, but I worry a lot about it turning into an interview and maybe people don't like explaining themselves a lot when they're upset? But I don't really know what to do. Advice?

Interesting, I wrote that comment a year ago and autohotkey is still embedded into the genes of how I use my computer. My capslock is remapped to control, I can write a small four letter string to pull up a notepad file with my daily journal, another string for my sleep long, another four my collection of fictional quotes I like, and fun ones like typing 'nowk' to expand to the current date without having to check it (2022-12-05) or typing -0 to auto expand to — em dash are things that my computer feels very empty without now 

Yeah! I did four or so, they're at https://ratsoc.brick.do. It was really fun

What circles are those?

This was really interesting. Mapping the bits I understood (which was minimal) to the bits I didn't was fun, but also the style of writing for even the bits I didn't understand was entertaining

Really engaging! Was especially gripped at the bluffing section, and laughed out loud in shock at the reveal. Really enjoyed it :)

I love Thrill of the Fight. Gets me super exhausted with my muscles sore.
