Apple Reminders on macOS Tahoe includes this interesting piece of vintage UI design

Despite macOS going through a couple major redesigns over the past couple years with Big Sur in 2020 and now Tahoe in 2025, there’s still one app that includes a very old looking interface that predates these redesigns: Apple Reminders.

First it peddled the poison, and now it's selling the cure. OpenAI announced that it's launching a new AI-powered jobs platform next year that will use AI to match employers with potential candidates. Called the OpenAI Jobs Platform, the initiative will put it in direct competition with job juggernauts like LinkedIn, which has also been experimenting with integrating the tech.

Being good isn’t enough 06 Sep, 2025 Giving good career advice is hard. Maybe it’s because careers can look more alike than they really are. Two people can have the same title but what helps one could be rubbish for another. Or maybe it’s that “good advice” itself is fuzzy. It depends entirely on the person receiving it. For some people it means finding work they love. For others it’s about meaning. For many it’s just getting promoted. Still, here’s what I usually say. You have to be good at

Geoffrey Hinton, long considered a "godfather of AI" and who won the Nobel Prize in Physics last year, has a complicated relationship with the tech he pioneered at Google many years ago. He's long argued that AI poses an existential risk to humanity, and signed a letter earlier this year calling on OpenAI not to betray its non-profit roots. Even in his own personal life, it sounds like Hinton can't escape the tech. In an interview with the Financial Times, the 77-year-old revealed that his ex-
