Maybe in a post-Soviet country they did. In my school they shredded them so the next class had to buy a new set.


Why did they do that?

Presumably because the school district got a slice of the money from the publisher.

What? Are you serious?? :o Sorry, this is the saddest sentence I have read in a long time.

Yep. A public school in NY suburbs in the early 1990s.

Well... I am sure someone made good money out of that.

In Slovenia, a post-Yugoslavian country, the school library coordinated a textbook borrowing scheme, where they would own all the material and lend it to students each year. Parents would pay a small "subscription", so each year or two one subject would get new books.


That's how it worked in USSR in 80s. The school supplied the books and they were the ones that the previous grade used. If they got busted beyond all repair only then they'd be replaced with new.

So turn it off.

They changed it to `attribution`, but yes you can customize this

I'm on Max. This morning, just to test, before doing anything else whatsoever, I was at 0%, and I typed 'test one two three' into CC.

That put me at 12%.

I have no MCPs except the built in claude-in-chrome.

This is clearly a bug.


I was pleased to find that I chose the font I actually use.

Hilariously, I had the exact opposite. I use Fira Code, which I eliminated in the first round.

Same, or at least the closest one (Iconsolata for Consolas)

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.


AI slop. Updated.

No. The simple explanation is “cat”.

Exactly this. Cats just like fresh things that don't currently smell like cat. That can be a new sheet of paper on the table, a new cardboard box, freshly folded laundry, etc.

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.

Yes, by Simon Willis

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.
