More assorted notes on Liquid Glass

news.ycombinator.com Riccardo Mori 2025-08-18 05:18:22

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been trying to make sense of Apple’s latest user-interface redesign — Apple calls it Liquid Glass — that will affect all their platforms in the next iteration of their respective OS versions. But it’s hard to make sense of it when, after checking Apple’s own guidance, I’m mostly left with the feeling that at Apple they’re making things up as they go. If you’ve been following me on Mastodon, you’ll be already familiar with a lot of what follows. I just wanted

The Download: how AI could improve construction site safety, and our Roundtables conversation with Karen Hao

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-08-18 14:10:00

More than 1,000 construction workers die on the job each year in the US, making it the most dangerous industry for fatal slips, trips, and falls. A new AI tool called Safety AI could help to change that. It analyzes the progress made on a construction site each day, and flags conditions that violate Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules, with what its creator Philip Lorenzo claims is 95% accuracy. Lorenzo says Safety AI is the first one of multiple emerging AI construction sa

Something Hilarious Happens When Potential Customers See That a Product Has AI Features

New research suggests that slapping the "AI" label on products doesn't always go over well with buyers, the Wall Street Journal reports. A new study published this month in Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management found that consumers tended to turn away from products that were promoted as having AI — especially if the items were a high-risk purchase like a car.

Auth for B2B SaaS: it's not like auth for consumer software

Auth for business software (B2B) shouldn’t look the same as auth for consumer software (B2C). In many cases, it actually can’t work the same way. I’ll cover three important buckets of differences between B2B auth and B2C auth: Logical isolation and tenancy models Priorities and trade-offs Protocols and features By the way – let’s use auth loosely here and let it subsume related stuff like user management.

Xbox Needs to Get Weirder or Die Trying

Xbox is in a weird place right now, and I’m not the only one who thinks so. In fact, people with more important opinions on the subject than myself seem to agree: if Microsoft doesn’t get its shit together on hardware, the box as we know it is cooked. Laura Fryer, the former director of the Xbox Advanced Technology Group for the original Xbox project back in May 2000 and former executive producer for Microsoft Games Studios up until the Xbox 360 days, put it bluntly in a recent video. “Obviousl

US economy shrank 0.5% in the first quarter, worse than earlier estimates

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.5% annual pace from January through March as President Donald Trump’s trade wars disrupted business, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in an unexpected deterioration of earlier estimates. First-quarter growth was weighed down by a surge of imports as U.S. companies, and households, rushed to buy foreign goods before Trump could impose tariffs on them.
