OpenAI vs Google

Is this competition even close? At least competition leads to more innovation and cost reduction to consumers. Apple still nowhere to be seen. https://www.youtube.com/w…

Apple at WWDC 2024 nnounced that Siri can tap into OpenAI’s ChatGPT when needed. The company said it wanted users to be able to tap into external models. Siri will ask if you want to share your question with ChatGPT and then will return suggestions from the OpenAI chatbot. ChatGPT is also built into systemwide writing tools. So, for example, Apple said you can create a bedtime story for a child and add images created by ChatGPT. It will be free, without creating an account, and your request and information won’t be logged, Apple said. https://www.youtube.com/w…

Infinite Scroll Advantages and Disadvantages

It’s hard to break the power of infinite scroll, which, in the early 2010s, became a design practice standard. The idea behind infinite scroll is that it allows people to enjoy a frictionless browsing experience. They can surf the web and casually consume content without a pesky “Next page” button interrupting their flow. Without a natural stopping point, though, people tend to just keep going. Infinite scroll is designed to pull you in. Now, infinite scroll is ubiquitous on social media platforms, blogs and e-commerce sites. While infinite scroll may offer users a smooth browsing experience, many designers believe there are better ways to navigate the web. https://builtin.com/ux-de… Bytetheapples.com implemented infinite scroll within the comments section of each post.

Infinite scroll is also an intuitive design choice when the main action of users is to casually flip through a social media feed. In this context, the timeliness of information is paramount, and each bit of information is of relatively equal importance. And there’s always a new update.

Pagination is probably the most obvious approach to organizing web content. It involves dividing content into discrete pages, each one populated with a limited number of items. It’s clear, and gives users what they expect. There are hardly any surprises with pagination.

This may encourage passive users to stick around and read “just one more” article, which helps juice the site’s pageview and bounce-rate numbers — but it yields a frustrating experience for most visitors.

Removing page numbers and buttons from the bottoms of pages in favor of infinite scroll might yield an elegant, seamless browsing experience for users. Especially on mobile devices, where users have grown accustomed to swiping with their thumbs, rather than pecking at buttons, to fetch additional content.

Some blogs and news sites use infinite scroll too. They stack articles on top of each other on an endlessly scrolling page, often with each successive article creating a new URL in the address bar as the user scrolls down.

Instacart is in the process of migrating its primary data store over to Amazon’s DynamoDB. The current system, Postgres running on Amazon EC2, was pushing its limits. In a blog post, InstaCart Software Engineer Manas Paldhe tells the deciding factor to migrate came down to something seemingly so innocuous but equally important to people who need them: push message notifications.

1963 Timesharing: A Solution to Computer Bottlenecks

This vintage film features MIT Science Reporter John Fitch at the MIT Computation Center in an extended interview with MIT professor of computer science Fernando J. Corbato. The film was co-produced by WGBH (Boston) and MIT. The prime focus of the film is timesharing, one of the most important developments in computing, and one which has come in and out of favor several times over the last several decades as the dichotomy between remote and centrally-managed computing resources played out; the latest incarnation for centrally-managed computing resources is known as cloud computing. Timesharing as shown in this film, was a novel concept in the early 1960s. Driven by a desire to more efficiently use expensive computer resources while increasing the interactivity between user and computer (man and machine), timesharing was eventually taken up by industry in the form of special timesharing hardware for mainframe and minicomputer computer systems as well as in sophisticated operati…
