If you need one definition of "experience design" it's this. Experience happens moment by moment. Therefore any experience design is about what happens on a timeline. It's all about linking multiple steps together. Brand design is more spatial. It's all at once across screens.

✨ Finally built a timeline for https://t.co/HGCLKS5BD6 now I always wanted to make my site a bit more social, because I had profiles and trip overlaps and you could kinda see where other people went, but not something like this So on this new page you can see people near you, where everyone's traveling too, etc. There's the [ For you ] tab and [ Following ], like on X. So you can see people you follow, or just everyone I hope I can improve it more so the site will result in more serendipitous connections, especially now that's it's free Also nice you can see where people will be in the future… Quoting @levelsio 🌎 https://t.co/1z6UN2d0nh globe is now ready for space travel too 😊 Related

It’s amazing to see people discover the joy of making your own personal-scale software. Interestingly most of what at least I see on my timeline is art/entertainment, not productivity software. I have a growing suspicion that existing productivity software is quickly becoming a “middle man” (which means their days are numbered.) Someone says “but people use email, I need to do email” — what they mean is people communicate and that’s true, but it being email or as text on a screen is kind of irrelevant on a human level. The economy of software is moving so quickly right now that it’s hard to e… Related

From one piece
Why Fei-Fei Li Is Betting on Spatial Intelligence
4 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
Well, spatial intelligence eventually must enable us to both generate what the space is, reason within it, and being able to edit and interact within it.

we do believe very strongly that next viewpoint prediction is is the equivalent of next token prediction.

So in the on the path to spatial intelligence, generating pixels is definitely a a early step, which we have seen with what you call it gazillions of models. But generating pixels that are truly spatially contextualized and grounded is absolutely another major step. And that is the very hard step that Atlas has taken.

But to do that, a fundamental problem to solve is to understand the geometry and structure and the physics of the space.

A lot of hype around OpenAI's Astra model here on my timeline today. Apparently, this goes back to a new article from The Information, which said Astra is a "recurrent depth or looped transformer". It's always interesting to read about new or different approaches (including rumors about what the closed labs may be up to), but let's debunk this a bit. About 2 months ago, I shared the architecture details of Nanbeige, for example, where "Nanbeige4.2-3B is pretrained from scratch on 28T tokens with a Looped Transformer that reuses the layer stack to increase capacity without adding parameters."… OpenAI Related

everyone should go read @dwarkesh_sp’s post - it does a great job of laying out the timeline and what we know ( and don’t know) I do have two issues with it A) the use of anthropomorphic language. These are not civilizations nor do they have desires just like a CPU thread or a bunch of programs don’t. this doesn’t mean we downplay the importance of this moment for cyber - but using human parallels for what I believe is code is dangerous territory. B) IMO it gets the impact of open source models wrong and is unreasonably dismissive for reasons that are not clear. As @ClementDelangue highlights… open source Related

Their words
And I’ve said for a long time that you think of a quadrant of slow timelines for the start of AGI, long timelines, and then a short takeoff or a fast takeoff. I think short timeline, slow takeoff is the safest quadrant and the one I’d most like us to be in. But I do want to make sure we get that slow takeoff.

I think the thing that shocks/scares me the most isn’t that there’s white supremacists amongst my peers, it’s that they’ve become so comfortable with it that they’re ok suggesting lynching in a public forum, for the world to see. This is the worst fucking timeline. Quoting @polotek Holy shit. I used to work with this woman. I'll repeat that.

What is a korrent?
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.
