feels like half my day is finding the specific corner of slack where a conversation i just saw 3 minutes ago is taking place
increasingly i find notion ai is better at finding these in slack than slack is

now this is the kind of model benchmark i care about
How well can models design icons?
@andpoul and I benchmarked frontier and open weight models
The results: they’re steadily improving execution, their choices often overly literal

the new sudo music player is pretty slick. smart to go after an interaction style and form people understand like the iPod.
but it's also double-edged sword, you immediately draw comparisons to the goated iPod so a lot can feel underwhelming by comparison across software and hardware

love the page navigation here where it zooms out, pans, then zooms in. reminds me of the scrolling on the steve jobs archive book site. was great to meet this week anders!

whenever I open DoorDash I can’t unsee that they put quotes around food in the header.
Looking at “Chinese” food doesn’t exactly build confidence. What’s wrong with this food that you need to put it in quotes?
This was not a search but a page I tapped into directly from their permanent UI. But my hunch was they did this starting with searches and didn’t want to be on the hook that all search results were representative of your query or something?

if you are in the Apple ecosystem this card is a must. 0% financing for Apple gear. that money can earn you interest in investments or hysa elsewhere.
they have done holiday promos in the past where cash back jumps to 6%. got that when I got my Pro Display XDR long ago

User interfaces are not going away.
Yes, humans will use computers alongside agents. When working with agents, we will need the ability to audit what agents do in a human-readable way.
Yes, some interfaces (ex: dashboards, in-chat UI for ephemeral tasks, etc) will be generated. Most important interfaces will be intentionally designed. We will want both deterministic and non-deterministic interfaces in different situations. We're thinking a lot about the best ways to help designers shape non-deterministic systems at Figma.
Yes, new input modalities like voice, VR/AR and BCI will change the way we use computers and introduce lots of new interaction paradigms. This is all very exciting :)
Overall, the surface area of design will continue to grow much broader. Design is the new code and the key differentiator for software moving forward. Expect more and more energy to go into design / craft in the years ahead... it will be how you win or lose.
Eric is right about plenty of things, but the market will prove him wrong on this one...

the iPhone Duo seems promising as an agent device. just needs a third party (or Apple) to make a nice foldable keyboard to go with it.
I’ve been rewatching Entourage, which came out in 2004, and the amount of Apple product placement is amazing.
In one episode turtle mentioned he bought 9 iPods
iphone duo doesn't have face id?? definitely waiting for the next generation
if they make a portable keyboard accessory for this, it will be an amazingly portable coding terminal (especially with remote desktop for your mac mini)
some designer at meta fought their PM to get this interaction in instead of using a sheet. gotta respect that
I’ve never used Superhuman mail but now I want to sign up just to see what everyone’s talking about with this redesign.
are there any before and after screenshots?
the new superhuman redesign is terrible. the logo is disgusting and generic. feels like yahoo mail. the app itself is way harder to read + use. huge downgrade. after loving the app for 3 years I am seriously considering changing. anyone else have any alternatives?

after much iteration, I have landed on the best ai voice dictation mic setup.
great mic placement so you can whisper if you need, no big mic arm in the way or wireless one to clip to you and talk down to.
- a split keyboard like my glove80
- rode ds2 mic stand + whatever mic

Deep partial lunar eclipse happening tonight. here's a shot i took one of the last times it happened
cloudflare has been getting polished lately. just migrated 2 simple sites i've had from vercel to cloudflare and it was a breeze.
love this little motion for progressing through a flow (and it lets you go back by clicking on the previous step that's hovering up at the top too)
