@badlogicgames In the project instructions or in Claude MD ask it to criticize its own answers and then synthesize the final answer. Works really well for me.

i have real trust issues with opus. it's extremely weird. any time it suggest a thing, i switch to gpt and ask for a second opinion. in +60% of cases, gpt finds additional things opus just missed. (not a gpt shill, love opus, but it's complicated)

@mynameisyahia @getcontextdev Ok good stuff. But why do impressions matter?

How I get 80K impressions/day on Google after rebranding @getcontextdev: I connected Ahrefs MCP to Claude Code and told it to find low difficulty, high volume keywords for each of our services. It found the targets. I wrote 5 blog posts. One hit the front page of an 80K/day search term. Total time: one afternoon!

@itsolelehmann You think this would work for travel related content? Hotel reviews and the like for affiliate sites. My system already produces good to great text but there's always room for improvement and this sounds v interesting.

i taught Claude to write in my customers’ EXACT language and now my copy converts 2x better hormozi says it all the time: "he who is closest to the customer wins." this is how you get close. you stop guessing at what your audience is thinking and feeling and start reflecting their exact words and psychology back to them. which means more engagement, more followers, more sales… the whole workflow is one prompt in perplexity computer. it gives you 50+ quotes from real people, organized by pain point theme here's how to set it up: 1. open perplexity computer (i use this because it's a search task at scale. perplexity computer is built on search infrastructure. we need to crawl across reddit, g2, trustpilot, product hunt, and indie hackers at once (you can change these to the places your customers hang out) and pull exact quotes from hundreds of real threads, this is what it was literally designed for) 2. paste this prompt (swap in your own audience and topic): —— "I need you to build a voice-of-customer quote bank with 50+ real quotes from real people, organized by pain point theme. The pain points I'm looking for: what [YOUR AUDIENCE, ex: solopreneurs, founders, online business owners] are struggling with, frustrated by, excited about, or wishing for when it comes to [YOUR TOPIC, ex: using AI to run and market their businesses]. Search across Reddit, Product Hunt, G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Indie Hackers, and any relevant communities. Read full reviews, threads, and comments, not summaries. I need the actual words people use, not your summary of what they said. Build the quote bank organized by pain point theme. Each theme should have a short label (2-5 words) and 10+ quotes under it. Just the quotes, nothing else. Prioritize quotes that are specific, emotional, vivid, and sound like a real person talking. Skip anything that reads like a formal review or press release. I want the raw, unfiltered way people actually describe these problems. Include a separate section for breakthrough moments and wins. Quotes where people describe something that actually worked, a genuine shift, or a result that surprised them. And a final section that's just recurring phrases and slang this audience uses to describe their problems, grouped by theme. No full quotes needed, just the expressions themselves. Find at least 5 distinct pain point themes. Go deep rather than broad. I'd rather have 8 great quotes per theme than 2 quotes across 30 themes. Only include real quotes you can verify. Don't fabricate or paraphrase." —— 3. let perplexity cook. takes about 10 minutes 4. tell perplexity to save it both as a context file and to create a google sheet 5. create a biweekly task to update it with new data (perplexity can do this like openclaw) 6. add one instruction to your writing setup: "reference the voice-of-customer file and use the audience's exact language for hooks, pain points, and framing" now every time you write, your ai pulls from how your audience actually talks instead of how you think they talk (honestly it feels like cheating) run it again every quarter to keep it fresh

"for any non-trivial answer criticize the original answer and then form a synthesis". Still the biggest single way to improve LLM answers I know. Anything I should change?

Mass AI content is terrible and I decided to engineer around it. RAG from APIs (Google Places, for example), writer agent + code validator + blind QA agent. Three layers because one LLM can't quality-check itself.

@BridgetMWillard I am using Claude to build a content pipeline to WP to create affiliate sites. Not sure if that counts as a Wordpressy thing.

Is anyone in WordPress doing WordPressy things lately? All I see is Claude This Perplexity That.

@SimonHoiberg I thought that the nights in Malaga winter time were around 7-9C. Even now they're 8-11C... Our flat during the winter would have 16C in the morning without any heating.

@Ville_AI In Málaga it barely drops to 12 degrees at night outside during winters, very hard to get it below 18 degrees inside even with windows open. In summers I couldn't get it below 22 even with AC blasting at full volume.

After returning to Switzerland, I'm now sleeping in a very cool room, and it has greatly improved sleep quality. - Wide open window - Room temp at 12-14° C - Thick, heavy winter blanket Average sleep score up from ~75% to +90%. Did anyone try this? Total game changer!

Party time (after 30h of PLANNING). Proud of myself.

gang, what are the best image APIs for creating consistent high quality cartoon type images? I will use the service to batch create them via API for new webpages.

@asaio87 define complex? I've been building some pretty complex stuff without being a dev, but I am pseudo technical and know a bit about this and that. But, it is so far for my own projects only, and spaghetti, and net prod ready.

Ok I admit, Claude Code is amazing but compared to what we had 2-3 years ago pre AI. Its good, but requires a lot of assistance, and knowing what and when to prompt. If you are not a developer, there is no chance you can build a complex app.

Ahh the joys of the Max plan (90€) even before the Americans have woke up (some hardcode 4am CEOs excluded).

@ahtralfie During the 2006 WC the public transport was included in the tickets in Stuttgart on matchdays.

I spent five weeks in Germany for Euro 2024, attended 13 matches across 5 cities, and I paid a total of £85 for all of my transport while I was there.

How to write better, mostly natural sounding text? - give the instructions from below to your writer MD How to have those rules actually enforced? -Create a post processor that replaces that crap, just in case it gets through

@DawnHoff1976 @hispanicnomad Expect when asked and then it's all "Todo perfecto" 💯 I live in Spain and you only complain to friends, never to acquaintances.

@hispanicnomad @Ville_AI Also Nordics have a tabu against complaining, so they will say "Oh you know, I can't complain", when asked how they are. Spanish people will humble brag about how horrible everything is.

Finland consistently ranks as one of the happiest countries in the world I call bullshit Look, I've been to 60+ countries. Some of them quite rough around the edges And I have never seen as many frowny faces per square meter as in Helsinki Genuinely, deeply, almost proudly sad faces Here's what those happiness surveys actually measure: ✅ Low corruption ✅ Functioning institutions ✅ Physical safety ✅ Trust in government But man, that's not happiness. It just the absence of certain problems There's a difference between a life with no obvious disasters and a life that feels worth living I've sat in cramped buses in "poor" countries and watched people laugh until they cried over nothing I've shared meals with families who had almost nothing and felt more warmth in one hour than in a week walking around a Nordic capital The Finns have a word (sisu) that gets romanticized as grit and resilience It also describes a population that learned to endure rather than enjoy Finland has excellent infrastructure and the facial expressions of a country waiting for a delayed flight

@trq212 Wtf Is this? First you don't address the problem of people hitting their limits after a few prompts, and now your limiting without a warning (I've never had any issues since the expensive 90€ plan btw). You are clearly an engineering organization..

To manage growing demand for Claude we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During weekdays between 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT, you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before.

@hispanicnomad They should just change the name of the study and everybody would, ironically enough, be HAPPY 😀

@Ville_AI And hey, contentness is very nice. No one is saying it's not But correlating that to happiness doesn't make any sense

03/25I was updating a content site: - 2-3h of studying about clusters and KWs and putting everything in gSheets. --> prompting in ChatGPT (customGPT) 03/26 with a new site: - 2-3 DAYS of planning, deciding which pages belong to which cluster, internal links set up, facts db..

@seonatia What would you be "invisible"?? submit a sitemap --> they know you exist some directories start linking to you anyway (no SEO boost though) I haven't bought a single BL and basically only have scammy ones pointing to me. yet the avg position of my 100 pages on google is 6.3

Without backlinks, you’re essentially invisible to Google. If building them for your startup’s website feels overwhelming, purchase expired domains: Here's how: → Go to ExpiredDomains .com → Adjust filters based on their niche keywords → Find expired domains with a Domain Authority (DA) of 20-50 → Choose GoDaddy auctions that are ending soon → Buy these domains with backlinks, set up 301 redirects to the primary LP, and significantly boost SEO
