  1. It’s Nice That: Plug in! Michael Romanowicz’s Outlet Atlas is a gorgeously designed guide to power adapters and outlet types. “If your special interest is outlet types and power adapters, then boy do we have the online archive for you. Lovingly created by a designer who was frustrated with boring SEO-optimised websites whilst travelling, this community-based website seeks to make a guide that […]

  3. What if the most important product decisions in #AI systems no longer live in #interfaces, #PRDs, or #journeymaps?

    They now live inside routing logic, memory systems, escalation policies, and #orchestration pipelines. Are product teams reviewing those layers?

  8. Thinking Machines Lab is building interactivity into model architecture itself—200ms response chunks across audio, video, text. The shift: from chat interfaces wrapping static models to systems that listen, interrupt, and correct in real time. This moves the competitive moat from UI to fundamental design. implicator.ai/models-start-lis #ai #ml #interfaces

  14. Recently, I was thinking about interfaces of programs and websites, and I realised that I have a very particular aesthetic that i prefer. I was wondering if anyone shares this opinion. In Firefox, the program layout would be called Pre-Australis, but I'm not sure of a more standard term. In websites, it may just be semantic html.

    Programs
    1.
    Menus accessible via the alt key, where each one is navigated with the up and down arrows, and each menu is entered with the left and right arrows.
    2.
    Okay, cancel, and apply buttons are present.
    3.
    No ribbons.
    I'm not really going to discuss phone applications, because they are entirely different. But I will say that I don't like how many lack keyboard support and involve scrolling. I don't see how that could possibly be better and more efficient than immediately going to the top or bottom of a list, for example, with Windows.

    Websites
    1.
    No hamburger menus. Each section is accessed via a link. All combo boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, etc. are clearly labelled.
    2.
    No page refreshes, unless loading a new page or prompted by the user i.e. with f5.
    3.
    No clutter on the page i.e. advertisements in the middle of news articles.
    4.
    If such things exist, then there should be a text-only, or basic html version of the site.
    5.
    Downloadable content is in txt, html, doc, or rtf, not pdf, docx, etc.
    6.
    If captchas are used, they should have good audio replacements.

    I have no idea why so many programmers aren't design things with normal menus these days. Even Windows is doing this. It's one of the many reasons I switched from 11 back to 7 for daily use. Website developers also frustrate me. Why must everything be in these ridiculous hamburger menus? What happened to normal links? I even see this on sites for the blind!

  22. We spent decades moving beyond #commandline—toward #interfaces that made work visible.

    Now we’re rebuilding everything as chat.
    Not because it fits the work, but because the tech allows it.

    This isn’t a technical shift. It’s a design regression worth debating.

  33. Нейроинтерфейсы: следующий (и последний?) пользовательский интерфейс

    Привет Хабр! В статье расскажу, как нейроинтерфейсы меняют представление о пользовательских интерфейсах — от привычных экранов и кнопок к мысленным командам и вниманию как главному ресурсу. Про технические реалии, вызовы дизайна для таких систем и почему навыки медитации и фокусировки становятся ключевыми. Это взгляд дизайнера на интерфейсы будущего с фокусом на опыт пользователя.

  34. What is #OOP? The current Object Oriented #Programming has been distracted by #classes, #interfaces, #override, .. and is ignoring its crucial component, namely #object. Claude4 Sonnet and I are developing this new language called Sunya to get rid of all the nuisance and focus on objects. An object is a standalone entity that has attributes and functionalities and that can "emulate" other objects directly. As object is a set of functions with a persistent state. A module is a complex object.

  35. 🚀 Wow, another thrilling installment of "Rust in the Kernel" 💾 where we learn that #coding in #Rust within the #Linux #kernel is basically an #epic #saga of navigating #C #interfaces and praying your code doesn’t combust. 🤯 Spoiler alert: you’ll need a PhD in both programming languages and a crystal ball to decode the magical mysteries of #memory allocation! 🙄

    Brain health and performance optimization are emerging as the next frontier, similar to how cardiac care transformed in the previous century. Let us call it the ‘cognitive economy,’ one that involves tools, treatments, and technologies for brain enhancement. It is just beginning.

    This revolution is giving rise to a new, multi-trillion-dollar "cognitive economy"—an ecosystem of science, technology, and services dedicated to understanding, preserving, and enhancing the human brain.

    The fact is, we are witnessing a demographic tsunami with a profound demographic shift underway, creating an unprecedented challenge and opportunity for global health. How big a challenge?

    The global population aged 60 and over will double from 1.1 billion today to 2.1 billion by 2050.

    The number of persons aged 80 or older will triple between 2020 and 2050.

    By 2050, two-thirds of the world's population over 60 will live in low- and middle-income countries.

    What does this lead to? Massive challenge - neurological conditions are now the leading cause of ill health and disability globally, affecting an astonishing 3.4 billion people, or 43% of the world's population.

    The thing is, the speed with which this challenge is going to accelerate is staggering:

    2021: 57 million people living with dementia worldwide.

    2030: Projected to reach 78 million cases globally.

    2050: Expected to reach 139 million cases, with 71% of the burden in LMICs.

    The financial impact of dementia is immense and projected to grow exponentially. If global dementia care were a country, its economy would rank as the 14th largest in the world, larger than the market values of companies like Apple and Google.

    With these harsh realities, it's long been a goal of many in healthcare to "do for brain science this century what we did for heart health in the last century."
