It’s nice, but why call it “pixel perfect” when it’s not - not even close? It’s, as you say in the title here, “style”. Doesn’t actually look like the real 95, just has the same vibes.

Most controls are not even close to what Windows 95 was.

LLMs don’t care. Welcome to the new internet - words aren’t there because a human wanted to communicate something, but because a machine found it statistically plausible to insert those words.


No. The simple explanation is “cat”.

I’m honestly intensely curious what you thought this comment would contribute.

That's not a thread you want to pull on, it applied to the majority of the comments on the internet.

… they’re not? Who said they are? The article even explicitly says they’re not?

For 40 minutes, the article claimed they used LLMs. They changed the wording twice: https://theopenreader.org/index.php?title=Journalism:CERN_Us... and https://theopenreader.org/index.php?title=Journalism%3ACERN_...

What what is? The article has nothing to do with LLMs. It even explicitly says they don’t use LLMs.

> Is a LLM logic in weights derived from machine learning?

I was just answering this question. LLM logic in weights is fundamentally from machine learning, so yes. Wasn't really saying anything about the article.


I'm a bit surprised that here in Boston, the nearest museum listed is in New York.

It's only museums I've visited myself. I actually do have a draft entry in the works about the Glass Flowers at the Harvard Natural History Museum, I should finish and publish that!

Again I ask, do you have the time, interest and energy to bring it back from hibernation since 2019?

Back in 2019 I tried to post one a week... then the Event happened. I'm back to posting a couple of new ones every year now.

I think the site is compiled by one person. If you look at the map (https://www.niche-museums.com/map) it's heavily biased towards the southern UK and the SF Bay Area.

The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is in Amherst, MA and quite excellent.

There is or was a Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) in Boston.

I know someone who works on the voice response system for $LARGEBANK. She says that more than 95% of calls are just to find out a checking account balance.

That's fine, and there's no need for AI pretending to be a human, or to ask me to talk to a computer as if it is a human. Routine decision trees work really well here.

In fact, decision trees are nice because they tell your more or less up front what they're capable of.

What really sucks (AI or decision tree, either way) is when they don't let you easily speak with someone.


I'd argue a well designed AI assistant would be considerably better than a decision tree for that use case. Decision trees are slow because you normally need to wait through several options before getting to the one you're interested in. (Though sure, perhaps not if your call is literally for the most common thing.) But with an AI you could jump straight to what you're interested in.

"Hi, I'm the LargeBank AI Assistant. How can I help you?" "I'd like to know the balance of my checking account."

And then authenticate and get the balance as usual. Simpler and faster. Agreed that it becomes a problem if it's seen as a replacement for human agents though. In an ideal world it would actually free up the human agents for when they're actually needed. In reality it'll probably be some of each.


I'd counter with the following:

por espanol marque beep

if you have a quest beep

for beep

beep*beep*beep*beepbeep*

The account balance for account ending in NNNN is: $375.86

I shouldn't have to navigate a conversation in a situation where muscle memory will take me through the phone system decision tree in seconds.


I believe that. Probably 95% of my support calls to online shops are about order status (aka: the website shows "in preparation" for a week already, I need to talk to a real person).

Funny, it doesn’t look jooish

uh no idea what jooish would look like..


ah TIL...

Same. My assumption, before seeing this, was "ok, I'm going to guess land in a city is worth 100 or 1000x land anywhere else", and I guess I overestimated a bit.

The Bronx isn't "anywhere else", it's a region of New York City (one of the five boroughs), just like Manhattan is.

Having grown up in NYC, I’m well aware. I’m also well aware that the Bronx is rather different from Manhattan.

Weird. I see lots of people in that thread have this issue, but I personally can’t reproduce it at all, and I just spent an hour trying.
