Re:AI is not a coworker, it's an exoskeleton
on Friday February 20, 2026 @01:03PM (#47091476)
The exoskeleton analogy seems to be fitting where my work-mode is configurable: moving from tentative to trusting. But the AI needs to be explicitly set up to learn my every action. Currently this is a chore at best, just impossible in other cases.

Show HN: LLM Politeness Study (hostile and effusive tones boost LLM creativity)
https://aklodhi98.github.io/llm-politeness-study/
I ran 625 API calls across 5 frontier models to find out what makes LLMs produce better creative work. The answer surprised me: it's not about being rude or polite, it's about emotional intensity.

Hmm, may be you're right about UX designers not wanting to explain. For instance, I certainly won't want that vertical bar for aesthetic reasons. It's just hard to defend objectively.

Agree, except the product price could be right on the buy button. Now the analytics won't tell you whether I clicked on the buy button with an intent to buy, or did I just want to know how much it is.
Re:"She's Bouncing the Ball " on the Uncanny Way Octopuses Play

There's a video about an octopus solving a maze: https://youtu.be/7__r4FVj-EI?si=FH2QsL7BxlJ4h7KF. You could call that reactionary too, but at some point we have to admit octopuses do have a higher level of intelligence than we'd assume from an animal their size.

They're just advertising the tech and the platform. Probably so people could come up with some real use cases and apps for it... otherwise what's the point of introducing it a year earlier.

My biggest gripe with Youtube right now is how they've left channel subscription just as a long list. I have hundreds of subscriptions, and they are clearly around a few of my interests...

Great. This is from 50 years ago, and many of the ideas shown have come true. What about the next 50 years? Any video suggesting what we'd be able to see around the house in 2070?

How do you give multiple chances to say no? Is it like persisting with further offerings or different pricing etc?

I have no affiliation with the author, but he's provided reasoning as to why he thinks the design doesn't work for him. You can window-dress the wording, but that's essentially what the article is about.

Re:Building Your Color Palette
on Sunday November 22, 2020 @03:39PM (#25180846)
Practically speaking, you end up using colours many more than 3. Even designing a button needs a base colour, a hover state colour, a clicked state colour and sometimes border colours too. You can ‘wing’ it by using sass ‘darken’ etc as someone stated above, but I’ve found that to be interpreted differently by different browsers, and it’s just better to anticipate these needs and come up with the required colour stops upfront.
