This could’ve easily been 12 blog posts, but I opted for one that comprehensively captures how I feel about design on Apple platforms right now. The Pendulum Swing There was immediate criticism of iOS 7’s visual design. Concerns mounted pretty quickly about both style and accessibility. Some people remarked, “It’s only the beta,” implying significant change during the beta release phase was not just possible but probable. Yet, after it was released to the public largely the same as it was intr

You sound like ChatGPT

theverge.com Sara Parker 2025-09-04 09:00:00

Join any Zoom call, walk into any lecture hall, or watch any YouTube video, and listen carefully. Past the content and inside the linguistic patterns, you’ll find the creeping uniformity of AI voice. Words like “prowess” and “tapestry,” which are favored by ChatGPT, are creeping into our vocabulary, while words like “bolster,” “unearth,” and “nuance,” words less favored by ChatGPT, have declined in use. Researchers are already documenting shifts in the way we speak and communicate as a result of

How teachers are fighting AI cheating with handwritten work, oral tests, and AI

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-05 20:04:00

A hot potato: The fear that generative AI tools such as ChatGPT would lead to a generation of students cheating and plagiarizing work has come to pass. The situation is so bad that educators are now looking at multipe ways to stop the problem, or at least make the practice much more difficult. Ironically, one of them is to use AI. Speaking about AI-cheat students, Gary Ward, a teacher at Brookes Westshore High School in Victoria, British Columbia, told Business Insider, "Some of the ones that I

Nothing Phone 3 says goodbye to Glyph Interface, hello to Glyph Matrix

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-06 17:29:53

TL;DR Nothing teases its upcoming Phone 3 with a new design element called “Glyph Matrix.” The teaser suggests dot matrix-style lighting on the back of the device, potentially for more intricate light patterns. Previously leaked renders of the Phone 3 do not align with the newly teased Glyph Matrix design. In typical Carl Pei fashion, the Nothing Phone 3 hype train is at full speed. We’ve just about recovered from the heartbreak after learning about the Phone 3’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor

In the 1980s, experiments were begun with a radical new aircraft design–the forward-swept wing. This odd-looking configuration promised a number of aerodynamic benefits. However, these benefits came with some severe limits as well.
