Designers Have to Move from the Surface to the Substrate — Suff Syed ![](https://m.stacker.news/111533) For most of computing history, designers have been the authors of the visible world. They shaped the screens we tap, the icons we recognize, the patterns we repeat until they feel second nature. From Xerox PARC to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, nearly every interface worth designing has already been designed. The metaphors of interaction: the desktop, folders, windows, menu, tap, swipe, are now complete, endlessly iterated but rarely reinvented. But we are entering a new frontier. For the first time, the interface itself thinks. And when it thinks, the rules change. Today's most profound design problems don't live on the screen at all. They live in the invisible substrate beneath it: how models behave, how they reason, and how their decisions are constrained or liberated.

Syllabi | Improving clinical trial design ![](https://m.stacker.news/111391) **The benefits and costs of running trials** This process brings benefits: doctors have higher-quality evidence on whether drugs are effective and safe, helping them prescribe better treatments; researchers can learn from clear evidence of successes and failures to develop new and improved drugs. But it also comes with costs. One is the expense of running clinical trials (often reaching hundreds of millions of dollars), which discourages researchers from developing new, experimental drugs and drugs without a large financial market. Another is the time it takes to conduct trials (typically several years), which delays access to potentially life-saving drugs.

Fluid forms, vibrant colors - Microsoft Design [Apple Liquid](https://stacker.news/items/1002257/r/deSign_r) Design, now Microsoft Fluid. Would _Gas & Smoking Mirrors_ be next? ![](https://m.stacker.news/111393) How a subtle refresh of our Microsoft 365 icons signals deeper change. A collage of Microsoft Office app icons, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, and others, floating over a light background with abstract shapes and interface elements. When it comes to outsized impact, it’s hard to debate the almighty icon. No bigger than a postage stamp, these tiny symbols are gateways to entire experiences, distilling complex ideas, product abilities, and brand identities into a single, memorable image. By evoking emotion, sparking curiosity, and giving intuitive guidance, they make technology more accessible and approachable. ![](https://m.stacker.news/111394) Today, as we roll out refreshed icons for Microsoft 365 apps, small but significant design changes are a reflection and a signal. As a reflection, they encapsulate how AI is shifting the discipline of design and the nature of product development. As a symbol, they embody an ethos rooted in connection, coherence, and fluid collaboration. While these principles guided previous redesigns, their meaning has shifted—connection today isn’t about visual consistency so much as the seamless flow of human intent across every Microsoft 365 canvas. ![](https://m.stacker.news/111395)

Boring is good ![](https://m.stacker.news/111392) The initial, feverish enthusiasm for large language models (LLMs) is beginning to cool, and for good reason. It’s time to trade the out-of-control hype for a more pragmatic, even “boring,” approach. A recent MIT report shows that 95% of companies implementing this technology have yet to see a positive outcome. It’s understandable to feel confused. When I get confused, I write. This is why I wrote the first part of this series, Hype is a Business Tool as the online debate had become so overheated. In part 2, The Timmy Trap, I covered why we are, surprisingly, a large part of this hype problem. We’ve allowed ourselves to be fooled, confusing an LLM’s language fluency with actual intelligence. LLMs have effectively hacked our social protocols, fooling us into believing they are more intelligent than they are. So in this final part, I want to answer the question: why should we still care? The tech is problematic, and signs point to the bubble bursting. When we hit the “Trough of Disillusionment,” what rises from the ashes? Two lessons from my career help me navigate uncertainty: 1. technology flows downhill, and 2. we usually start on the wrong path. – Scott Jenson

New keyboard suggestions from the Gboard team for 2025 ![the Gboard Dial Edition shows why the software team isn't allowed to design hardware](https://m.stacker.news/111275) Gboard is a keyboard app for smartphones and tablets that offers excellent conversion capabilities, as well as convenient features such as themes that allow you to use your favorite photos as backgrounds, voice input, and translation functions. ![](https://m.stacker.news/111276) The Gboard team is dedicated to providing you with the ability to type the way you want, anytime, anywhere. For example, the handwriting input feature makes it easy to type even the elusive \( ˆoˆ )/ or other difficult characters you may not know how to read. We have proposed a variety of keyboards and input devices to create a unique text input environment. And today, we're introducing a new DIY keyboard that you can actually build: the Gboard Dial Edition. We realized there was one action missing from previous keyboards: rotation. This keyboard revisits the traditional typing, pressing, and tapping actions, and allows for text input by rotating. ![](https://m.stacker.news/111280) ![](https://m.stacker.news/111277) Simply insert your finger into the beautifully positioned keyhole in the innovative circular design and turn the dial. The curved operation method and the nostalgic buzzing sound of the keyboard will lead you to a new typing experience. If conventional dial input were adopted in its current form, the increase in the number of keys would result in an increase in size and a decrease in rotation speed, but this was resolved by arranging the main dial in three layers. The result is a dramatic reduction in size, three times faster speeds, and parallel inputs. ![](https://m.stacker.news/111278) ![](https://m.stacker.news/111281) Various function keys and cursor keys are provided as independent dials, making them ideal for use with the character dial. The enter key and number keys are designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Dial input prevents erroneous input and ensures reliable input. The time it takes for the dial to return allows for a calmer thinking and input experience. ![](https://m.stacker.news/111279) ![](https://m.stacker.news/111282) We are considering continuing to develop color variations to suit different tasks and preferences, frill covers that match a calming room, and mouse stands and curled cords for expansion devices. Up until now, keyboards have relied primarily on pressing. That's not to say pressing is bad, but after taking a step back and thinking about it, I came up with this nostalgic yet new keyboard. ![](https://m.stacker.news/111283)

IKEA Museum - Time travelling with IKEA catalogues from 1951 ![](https://m.stacker.news/111273) For over 70 years, the IKEA catalogue was produced in Älmhult, constantly growing in number, scope and distribution. From the 1950s when Ingvar Kamprad wrote most of the texts himself, via the poppy, somewhat radical 1970s and all the way into the scaled-down 2000s – the IKEA catalogue always captured the spirit of the time. The 2021 IKEA catalogue was the very last one printed on paper. ![](https://m.stacker.news/111274)

Light and Shade: exploring creativity’s AI conundrum ![](https://m.stacker.news/111269) **Light and Shade: exploring creativity’s AI conundrum** As AI systems advance in unstoppable motion, the creative industry faces an era of rapid change. We give pause with Light and Shade, a series interrogating the challenges and opportunities at the heart of the AI-creative conversation. In early 2022, I saw something weird on the internet. Martin McAllister, a Cannes Grand Prix winning ECD, was using (what was then) rudimentary AI to draw other people’s “dream careers” on (what was then) Twitter. That account, thankfully, is still available to explore here. At the time, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion were in their early stages, and many generative AI platforms were still in beta. Generated drawings like this had begun cropping up online and, at the time, I could think of no better use of AI technology than Martin’s job bot. It was funny, frivolous and bizarre. AI, I thought, has been completed. ![Our research reveled divided feeling.](https://m.stacker.news/111270) ![We don't attempt to define the correct view, but to brig the light into sharper focus.](https://m.stacker.news/111271) ![It's not just the new tools that creatives must navigate, but a growing loss of control.](https://m.stacker.news/111272)
