Design principles: — Don't reinvent the building blocks of UI. It's mostly a designer problem than a dev problem but I often see folks reinventing navigation, buttons, or forms when the standard pattern would work fine. There is a

Meta has insane distribution. Even if they don't match the best AI integration in a couple of months, they can push it to 1 billion people in days when it hits. Same thing for AR/VR, they can afford to invest massively in differen

I used to look forward to it. I liked Google positioning with its Pixel line up, their prosumer software and what they cooked in the lab (AI, Project Starline) Now I don't even bother navigating through the announcements that are never

OpenAI blew up when they released ChatGPT. It was more of a UX breakthrough than pure tech, since GPT3 was available for a few months already. This feels similar, with OpenAI trying to put their product even more into the daily lives of the

I try to, but I'm mostly experimenting along the way. I haven't played with character consistency yet.

I apologize. Since it's linked to experimenting with Midjourney I thought it would fit.

Oh this is useful! I don't get why Midjourney doesn't allow better showcase and search from their platform.

Thanks! Right now, you can see it on desktop when you hover the image. Others gave me the same feedback so I might implement a more permanent solution.

My first proper use case is to ban any kind of "lorem ipsum" from my designs. I can populate every field quickly with relevant data and content, which helps for communication. But I haven't seen really impactful tools yet. So

You conveniently use mild examples when I'm talking about harmful stereotypes. Reinforcing bulky NFL players won't lead to much, reinforcing minorities stereotypes can lead to lynchings or ethnic cleansing in some part of the worl

The problem is that it can reinforce harmful stereotypes. If I ask an image of a great scientist, it will probably show a white man based on past data and not current potential. If I ask for a criminal, or a bad driver, it might take a hint

Sadly it's not only designers but sometimes the whole product org who is biased… I lost on a potential design contract earlier this year because the company wanted a paid case study. 3 hours to improve their onboarding and customer act

In case you don't already know, the indiehacker community is now quite mature with a few folks sharing their stories and lessons up to a few $M of ARR. Microconf is also very high quality with great talks out there, a podcast and a sla

You probably know more about these details than me, I was referencing Real Engineering's video [0] on the subject. If the whistleblower's information is true, then it's an even bigger fuckup than expected. But I'm worrie

A convincing explanation I saw is that usually all doors are loosely attached by the subcontractor, since Boeing needs to remove them to build the interior. Then puts them back to specs. A miscommunication probably happened where the plug d

I have to disagree here. Events, reminders, deadlines and calendars are key to any project management. So far, the built-in calendar view wasn't good enough for anything substantial. Having a proper calendar experience could make me sw

Try creating a calendar view in your database and filter it with your name or any properties. It works for me.

One of the best projects I saw was made during the “early” days of generative AI (2022) and the strange output fits perfectly the story. Summer Island by Steve Coulson [1] is a short comic book made by an art director who can't draw we

You'll find a few threads about design courses on HN, here's the last one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38591437 If your goal is to open an agency, certificates have close to 0 impact. Maybe for some gover

This makes sense, but why can I only find this opinion in a HN comment? Why isn't the board explicit and owning this position? Why the "research faction" was radio silent? It would shift the debate around 2 opposing views for

To this day this is the best experience I had in VR by far. I spent hours roaming the earth, it's truly amazing. It's sad that Google is massively underutilizing this asset.

The first time I've put on a VR headset was for vestibular rehabilitation. They had different simulations to fight dizziness, although in the end my cause was different so it had little (positive) effects on me. But it really opened me

Innovation doesn't stop once you manage to make something fly. Aerodynamics simulations, science of materials, engine design or manufacturing innovation like metal 3D printing are some of the areas that can completely revolutionize how
