Do you consider Adjustable Interfaces the same as Probabilistic Interfaces?

Cursor screenshot showing a bash command to "npm create @shadcn/ui@latest". Claude is being super encouraging saying "we'll get it sorted!" despite giving the incorrect installation information.

Claude confirming that it, in fact, was using the wrong shadcn/ui documentation to install it only after I corrected it.

Thanks to my Intern (Claude) for being super encouraging knowing good and well that zero double checking of the documentation occurred. 😂

Flawed data is putting people with disabilities at risk | TechCrunch Our products are long overdue for a new, fairer data framework to ensure that data is managed with people with disabilities in mind.

Thank you for sharing this! Really great article.

I wrote about flawed data (before the AI imagery boom) and how it puts disabled people at risk. The reality is that headline could say "putting [insert marginalized group] at risk" and the same would apply.

I will always remember pitching Paul for a donation back in like 2015 or 2016—as a YC alum—and he sat there bragging and laughing about how much money he had, but refused to donate any (to my org).

Jessica is the one that gave much later

Of course he can’t recognize evil

Hmm. I think it might in fact be a bug. Now, for some reason, it's suddenly only allowing me to preview Phone. Same laptop -- nothing changed.

Very excited about the new Projects feature in ChatGPT. Was super useful in Claude. Unfortunately there's currently no native feature to link previous chats automatically.

You'd need to manually copy relevant content or summaries into the new project’s workspace. Hopefully it's coming!

Spent the last couple of weekends playing around with @framer.com — using a fun new thing as a playground.

1. Learning curve is low.
2. Foundational UI is simple = easy to experiment → break things → ship.
3. Accessibility in yo' face! You should look forward to more options though...soon. 😜

Oh that's a bummer. I quite liked the lilac color but seems like while still "pastel"-ish, it's a higher saturation purple.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Deb Kawamoto (VP of Design @ Vanta) today. Continually inspired by the work they do, and the similar challenges we seek to solve in security, privacy, and accessibility (at Stark) as a company's compliance pillars.

Deb Kawamoto: Humanizing Cybersecurity as Vanta’s Head of Design — Design Executive Council

“design can be an orchestration layer across the company, unifying disparate groups that touch the customer experience [...] The biggest challenge is breaking the traditional mold that cybersecurity can’t be user-friendly or visually appealing."

10,000m on the rower will take away all thoughts and feelings with the exception of one -- you cursing yourself for deciding to row 10k meters. Then you get off and feel amazing. 😂
