  3. "...It is not clear why LLMs are so fond of negative parallelism. It might just be because such constructions are frequent in training data. Another possible explanation is that during reinforcement learning, a phase in LLM training, human reviewers might grade negative parallelism higher because it conveys ‘the impression of nuance and insight.’”

  4. From Wikipedia: “Negative parallelism is a stylistic device that defines a subject by describing what it is not as well as what it is: ‘it's not X, it's Y.’ […] It gained attention only in the 2020s when it became apparent that large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT use negative parallelism inordinately often..."

  8. Plotted some voronoi diagrams I'm happy with. Still having trouble with ink flow though.

  10. Hey! Help me remember this artist.

    They created a mixed media artwork that used a vintage pen plotter (a Roland DXY if I recall) loaded with an audio cassette read head in the pen carrier. The plot bed was covered in cut strips of audio tape arranged in parallel. The pen/tape head would travel over and play random portions of the tape, creating a random access audio playback. I think I saw it on bird site years and years ago.

    Update! Found, see reply!

    Image from Nasa's James Webb telescope and turned into plottable SVG using RSTR. Plotted using my Axidraw SE/A3 with Rotring 0.5 Isograph pens and archival yellow, magenta & cyan inks on A3 aquarel paper.

    RSTR is a tool I've been working on off and on since Genuary '24. It's free & open source. Go check it out at rstr.d17e.dev

  18. Spent an hour convinced my pen plotter had terrible backlash —
    it kept drawing a straight vertical line instead of a spirograph.

    Turns out I'd never latched the tape reel. 🤦

    That's one chapter of how a CrunchLabs label maker became a
    little machine that draws Aztec friezes, spirographs and
    Lissajous figures:

  19. Lines twist and flow through large center arc Truchet tiles. Where the lines overlap, it really digs into the paper.
