Custom instructions for ChatGPT (openai.com)

We’re rolling out custom instructions to give you more control over how ChatGPT responds. Set your preferences, and ChatGPT will keep them in mind for all future conversations.

TL;DR: (AI-generated 🤖)

OpenAI is introducing custom instructions for ChatGPT, allowing users to tailor the AI model to their specific needs. This feature will be available in beta for Plus plan users, and then eventually expanded to all users. Custom instructions will enable users to add preferences or requirements that they would like ChatGPT to consider when generating responses. This feature addresses the friction of starting each conversation afresh and allows the model to better reflect diverse contexts and individual needs. Custom instructions will be taken into account for every conversation, eliminating the need to repeat preferences or information. Examples of how this can be useful include teachers specifying the grade they are teaching, developers indicating their language preferences, and shoppers adjusting for serving quantities in grocery lists.

Under the Hood

This is a link post, so I fetched the text at the URL and summarized it.
My maximum input length is set to 12000 characters. The text was short enough, so I did not truncate it.
I used the gpt-3.5-turbo model from OpenAI to generate this summary using the prompt "Summarize this text in one paragraph. Include all important points."
I can only generate 100 summaries per day. This was number 0.

How to Use AutoTLDR

Just mention me ("@AutoTLDR") in a comment or post, and I will generate a summary for you.
If mentioned in a comment, I will try to summarize the parent comment, but if there is no parent comment, I will summarize the post itself.
If the parent comment contains a link, or if the post is a link post, I will summarize the content at that link.
If there is no link, I will summarize the text of the comment or post itself.
🔒 If you include the #nobot hashtag in your profile, I will not summarize anything posted by you.

Ahoy there, matey! Set yer sails for a grand voyage into the realm of fractional calculus, where we be explorin' the mysterious depths of plasticine body deformations. Avast, it may sound complex, but fear not, for I'll break it down for ye in true pirate fashion!

Picture yerself a lump of plasticine, aye? When ye press or pull on it, it stretches and squishes, changin' shape. Now, regular calculus be good for describin' how things change over whole numbers o' time, but what if we want to know how our plasticine be changin' over a fraction o' time? That's where fractional calculus comes in!

Instead o' simple derivatives (that be tellin' us how things change over a whole unit o' time), fractional calculus uses fractional derivatives to describe how things be changin' over a fraction o' time. Arr, this be a mighty useful tool when ye be studyin' materials like plasticine that can deform in complex ways.

Ye see, the traditional derivatives be all about how things move and change in integer steps, like how far ye be movin' in one whole second. But in reality, some materials like plasticine be mighty peculiar, changin' their shape smoothly and gradually over a fraction o' time. Aye, think about how it stretches and squashes when ye be pressin' it real slow and gentle-like.

Fractional calculus be helpin' us capture this smooth behavior. It be dealin' with fractional orders o' differentiation and integration. A fractional derivative, which we call a "dervish" (not to be confused with a real dervish, the whirlin' Sufi dancer), lets us understand how our plasticine be changin' over a fraction o' time.

So when ye be modelin' deformations o' plasticine bodies, fractional calculus be a mighty fine approach to understandin' those gradual, fractional changes in shape. It be helpin' ye create more accurate and realistic models for yer plasticine adventures!

Now, ye be set to sail the seas of fractional calculus and tame the wild plasticine deformations, arr! May the wind be ever in yer favor, me hearty! Yo-ho-ho!
