This! That was, IMO, a golden era for UI design. We've lost SOO much to the wild west experimentation brought on by the advent of touch interfaces. A really strong shared design language across apps and vendors is an unbelievably valua

Honestly, you need a tailored one of these for each of the major LLM model/version pairs. Claude and Gemini don't exhibit all of the same tropes in the same severities as OpenAI's GPT series, and within each of those, each re

I love it conceptually, but I can't get past the abject failure of the right edges of boxes to be properly aligned. Because of a mishmash of non-fixed-width characters (emoji, etc.), each line has a slightly different length and the ri

For me, the best kind of "moat" (tbh I hate that word, since it specifically implies needing to design (...scheme...) and engineer some kind of user lock-in, which is inherently user-hostile) would be staying aggressively on the

I feel this with every fiber of my being. I used to do a TON of front-end work, some of it quite cutting edge, delivering highly performant user experiences in the browser that had previously been only thought possible in a native app. Ba

The Mint website is quite lovely! Props for making something so nice and pleasant and clean and easily navigable and informative.

This is beautiful! I love this so much, as it makes it so simple and intuitive to drop into a sense of curiosity, exploration, serendipity, scanning around, seeing what catches the eye, zooming in and out. It kind of recaptures part of the

My working theory, which I hold quite confidently, is that anything that doesn't test well with new users in usability testing focus groups or A/B testing eventually gets the axe. But the people conducting that testing are - inten

I read it perfectly fine on my iphone. Turning the device to landscape and zooming so the article text was full width made it an almost ideal reading experience. That said, the site does desperately need a responsive redesign so that you do

Yes! This is how things should be. And additionally, I want to see all the keyboard shortcuts visible on the menu items they activate. And every tool tip that pops up when you hover over a button should also show whatever keyboard shortcut

I hate everything about this. We've done such a disservice to the next generations by giving them the most dumbed down interfaces to grow up with that they never develop an intuitive sense of how things actually work under the hood. Ev

In practice, "beginner mode" just makes inaccessible all controls deemed by the designer to be outside the realm of basic use cases.

This is what always frustrates me: why do companies need to bother with "pathological late stage optimisations" at all, if not for perverse incentives in the fundamental economic and political structure of how companies operate? W

I've been to different types of (quite excellent!) fusion restaurants in both Peru and Colombia, not to mention multiple cities in Mexico. Good, creative cuisine that draws from multiple cultures is most definitely not limited to prima

Correct. RAG is a general term as you describe, but it has become inextricably linked with vector databases in the minds of a lot of people, to the extent that GP and even the blog post we're discussing use RAG specifically to mean the

I would love to see an example of a full transcript of the generation process for a small-ish library, including all the instructions given to the LLM, its reasoning steps, and its output, for each step in the generation flow.

This. I actually already internalized fatigue and annoyance about being cold contacted starting at LEAST 15 years ago. If you reach out to me to try to sell me your product, my gut reaction is to block you and never buy.
