I left a comment last week on Smashing’s “Design Patterns For AI Interfaces” (which is still in moderation):

Essentially, if your UI doesn’t also try to prevent harm then it might …

Designing a new AI feature? Where do you even begin? Here’s a simple, practical overview with useful design patterns for better AI experiences.

There's a german and a french Wiki article about #PetroMasculinity, but not an english one? 🤔

Not Here, Go There: Analyzing Redirection Patterns on the Web
URI redirections are integral to web management, supporting structural changes, SEO optimization, and security. However, their complexities affect usability, SEO performance, and digital preservation. This study analyzed 11 million unique redirecting URIs, following redirections up to 10 hops per URI, to uncover patterns and implications of redirection practices. Our findings revealed that 50% of the URIs terminated successfully, while 50% resulted in errors, including 0.06% exceeding 10 hops. …

Joint equidistributions of mesh patterns 123 and 132 with antipodal shadings
The study of joint equidistributions of mesh patterns 123 and 132 with the same symmetric shadings was recently initiated by Kitaev and Lv, where 75 of 80 potential joint equidistributions were proven. In this paper, we prove 112 out of 126 potential joint equidistributions of mesh patterns 123 and 132 with the same antipodal shadings. As a byproduct, we present 562 joint equidistribution results for non-symmetric and non-antipodal shadings. To achieve this, we construct bijections, find recurr…

The Effect of Pattern Quality on Measurements of Stress Heterogeneity and Geometrically Necessary Dislocation Density by High-Angular Resolution Electron Backscatter Diffraction

The Effect of Pattern Quality on Measurements of Stress Heterogeneity and Geometrically Necessary Dislocation Density by High-Angular Resolution Electron Backscatter Diffraction
We examine the effect of pattern quality on the output of high-angular resolution electron backscatter diffraction (HR-EBSD) analyses. Band contrast, as a proxy for pattern quality, was varied by adjusting the number of frames averaged per electron backscatter pattern during data collection. The same region in a deformed sample of the mineral olivine was mapped six times varying the number of frames averaged between 1 and 30 between each map. Each data set was analyzed with HR-EBSD, producing m…

Great point by Karen Hao in this [PODCAST] interview: Open AI has become an EMPIRE like the East India Trading Company did historically. Acting with impunity for their own self interests w/o nation-state consequences.
