Both are part of the few non-fiction writers who have continued to be in my must read list (as in, whatever they published I trust enough to spend my time reading and learning from them) because in part they both offer smart views that on the process of thinking about complex ideas
@aaronesilvers That's so good to hear — I feel like it's kinda of a perfect playground for him to be working in and will interested to try it myself if/when it's available more widely
@clive Yes to this — the confidentiality thing is a huge issue, especially, as you mention, it's governed by a "trust us" covenant that seems to be regular broken at will
Would love to use a locally-run, maybe even E2E LLM that's optimized for transcriptions/summarizations and the kind of "did you also know…" connections that NotebookLM seems to be getting built for
Such a great example of how truly innovative design benefits from deep evolutionary transformation not simply radical revolution
By keeping the #typewriter's #UX the same while also improving the usability and delivering more stable and more valuable features for the user, #EliotNoyes designed a product that was better for everyone involved — including #IBM which could now sell a new, custom experience exclusively to its customers
So what’s everyone’s favourite Instagram alternative?
(I only grabbed Threads at launch to check out the UX. I immediately deleted it and have absolutely no presence there aside from the empty parked username)
“I do not need another bike. I do not need another bicycle. I don’t need an Eames-inspired bicycle made out of bent plywood. I do not…wait, maybe it’s not that expensive…”
One of my earliest proofs of the importance of #InclusiveDesign was when #OlivaChow’s husband (the late #JackLayton) told me how he learned to put in the marketing material — a candidate’s number on ballot)
Why?
Because in cities like #Toronto, many voters aren’t familiar with Latin letters (and names spelled in English) but numbers are almost universally recognized
Seeing Olivia’s campaign listing her name with “25” was a nice reminder of how much she influenced him
(What Jack didn’t say, but knew was true, was even those literate in English remember a few numbers better than unfamiliar names — and like all good #InclusiveDesign, what is designed to solve the #mismatch for one group benefits many, many more!)
