> Can anyone more informed comment on the font? Could it be that you unconsciously prefer serif fonts to sans serif fonts? Sans serif fonts are preferred by people with dyslexia, for example. Another thing that comes to mind is high contrast in stroke thickness, thick vertical strokes and thin horizontal or curved strokes. This is reminiscent of engravings and calligraphy, but can be difficult to read on a screen, especially when the font size is small. Anti-aliasing options can also affect this and lead to even greater differences between letters than expected. Articles like this one may provide you with the right words to describe what you don't like about certain fonts: https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/a-beginners-guide-to-web-and-mobile…

For a high level overview of transformers/GPT, you can check out this article: https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/how-chatgpt-really-works-explained-… The article provides references to the original papers and other articles explaining the subject, which can be great sources to dive deeper.

Dieter Rams @ Braun. Ive REALLY likes his designs. https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/the-design-continuum-649420ec3a63

> but it’s also a token fire lol. I get much better results out of having Claude much much more task focused. I only want it to ever make the smallest possible change. There seems to be a fair bit of research to back this up: https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/when-more-becomes-less-why-llms-hal… It's also may be why people seem to find "swarms" of agents so effective. You have one agent ingesting what you're describing. Then it delegates a task off to another agent with the minimal context to get the job done. I would be super curious about the quality of output if you asked it to write out prompts for the days work, and then fed them in clean, one at a time.

It's hard to separate out the hype from the results, but if you think none of that's being tried or worked on then you're the Ostrich with your head in the sand. Mayo Clinic says AI models help detect pancreatic cancer on CT scans 3 years before clinical diagnosis.[1] Breast Cancer.org says emerging research shows AI might spot cancers in mammograms that radiologists might miss[2]. Nature.com has a paper conclusing that AI (in various forms) have "already revolutionised the diagnosis, prognosis, screening, biomarker discovery" of cancers.[3] Cancer.gov says NCI scientists are using AI to improve cervical cancer screening with deep learning and digital images[4]. Dr David Burns offers his Teams CBT therapy with an LLM based app for people who can't afford therapist visits[5]. U. Chicago says that AI weather forecasts can be faster and cheaper than supercomputer-based physical simulations and produce results weeks ahead, which makes accurate forecasts affordable and available for farmers in middle-income countries[6]. With your smartphone camera you can get an AI-assisted bike-fit at home[7]. You can get a bike fitness training plan[8] and performance analysis with an AI that you can chat with to analyse and explain or change it, used by three professional cycling teams. Prophix Australia analyse photos of powerlines taken by helicopter using AI to track assets and identify and verify potential faults[9]. AI systems scan images for early signs of plant disease in the…

I know this is off topic, but that homepage is a piece of work: https://buildkite.com I get it's quirky, but I'm at a low energy state and just wanted to know what it does... Right before I churned out, I happened to click "[E] Exit to classic Buildkite" and get sent to their original homepage: https://buildkite.com/platform/ It just tells you what it Buildkite does! Sure it looks default B2B SaaS, but more importantly it's clear. "The fastest CI platform" instead of some LinkedIn-slop manifesto. If I want to know why it's fast, I scroll down and learn it scales to lots of build agents and has unlimited parallelism! And if I wonder if it plays nice with my stack, I scroll and there's logos for a bunch of well known testing frameworks! And if I want to know if this isn't v0.0001 pre-alpha software by a pre-seed company spending runway on science-fair home pages, this one has social proof that isn't buried in a pseudo-intellectual rant! - I went down the rabbit hole of what lead to this and it's... interesting to say the least. https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/nothing-works-until-you-make-it-wor… https://www.reddit.com/r/branding/comments/1pi6b8g/nothing_works_until… https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/1petsis/comment/nsm3c59/
