The software of the future promises more power and flexibility for more imagination. We started with use-case software, moving to platform software, moving to all-purpose coding agents. Interface design is shifting rightward. A few things to keep in mind for designers: 1. Make the interface malleable. 2. Let preferences reach past the rule book. A descriptive vision beats fifty toggles. 3. Let feedback change the product. 4. Treat the seams as part of the experience. Nobody lives in one tool. And of course, the hardest of all: help people imagine bigger. Imagination is now the scarce resource. coding agents Related

Dear experts. Question.. When I read responses to my posts, I am typically struck by their thoughtfulness. I am no AI expert. How many of these responses that I find so attractive are in fact AI generated? (I have absolutely no idea what your answer to this question will be.) Related

With a new round of brouhaha over ADHD in the UK, seems like a good time to repost this discussion: What if obesity were invisible in the same way as ADHD is? ADHD is a construct that seems to encompass motivational and task initiation difficulties, executive function difficulties, and impulse control difficulties. And stimulants are attractive to people for a lot of reasons. psychiatrymargins.com

Their words
Which means we need to have a flexibility in the tools that we provide and the types of partnerships we have, and to really have a creator enablement view rather than a prescriptive that we only do this one way.

Nowadays, I often see people say they have access to unlimited tokens. Usually for work, although in response to https://t.co/BuzKs79xk5, someone from Microsoft said they have unlimited tokens for personal projects. I wonder what this means in practice. Surely there's a limit? Quoting @danluu What do people like for token-intensive workflows for personal projects? With a semi-autonomous workflow, I can exhaust a week's quota on the $200/mo codex plan in ~10 minutes of my time. If I'm in the loop, I get ~10x(?) the productivity per token, but it's time inefficient and Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
