Sustainable Interior Design for Park Street Apartments, Melbourne ![](https://m.stacker.news/113884) ![](https://m.stacker.news/113880) Created in response to the shortage of rental housing in Melbourne, Milieu’s Park Street project introduces an innovative approach to urban development by repurposing ageing structures to meet modern renters' needs. Seeing the potential in an under-utilised building in Brunswick, Milieu purchased a walk-up mid century apartment block, converting it using a ‘renovate to rent’ model. With their ‘build less, give more’ philosophy, Milieu engaged Breathe studio to design the interiors and the sustainability features. Their focus was on a light-touch renovation to preserve its essence while achieving two key objectives. ![](https://m.stacker.news/113881) ![](https://m.stacker.news/113882) ![](https://m.stacker.news/113883) ![](https://m.stacker.news/113885) ![](https://m.stacker.news/113886) ![](https://m.stacker.news/113888)

The Art of Moving ![](https://m.stacker.news/113878) # Good design takes shape long before the paint swatches, it begins the moment you start packing for your big move... There’s something unexpectedly artistic about packing. On the surface, it’s repetitive, cardboard boxes, tape, labels. But if you step back for a moment, you’ll see it’s also editing your life like a designer trims unnecessary detail from a perfect composition. As you wrap dishes in paper or fold clothes into neat stacks, you’re making design decisions, deciding what deserves space in your new world. Interior designers often say that good design begins with subtraction. It’s not what you add that creates beauty; it’s what you leave out. Packing follows the same rule. The pieces you choose to bring carry visual and emotional weight. Each item that stays behind frees up room for air, for creativity, for calm.

When design drives behavior ![](https://m.stacker.news/113757) In some cases, design is what something looks like. In other cases, design is how something works. But the most interesting designs to me are when design changes your behavior. Even the smallest details can change how someone interacts with something.

The Continual Learning Problem ![Design space of continual learning approaches.](https://m.stacker.news/113583) If we want to move towards a world where models are “always training” and continually learning from experience over time, we need to address a basic challenge: how do we keep updating the parameters of a model without breaking it? In this post, I’ll motivate memory layers as a natural architecture for this paradigm: high-capacity, but sparse (few active parameters) on each forward pass. In our recent paper, we found that finetuning memory layers enables learning without forgetting much more effectively than LoRA. When learning TriviaQA facts, NaturalQuestions performance drops by 89% with full finetuning and 71% with LoRA, but only 11% with memory layers. Along the way, I’ll also discuss the challenges of the continual learning problem broadly. Check out the paper here: [Continual Learning via Sparse Memory Finetuning](https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.15103)

How To Make Your UX Research Hard To Ignore ![](https://m.stacker.news/113580) If I just get enough data, just enough evidence, just enough clarity on where users struggle — well, once I have it all and I present it all, it alone will surely change people’s minds, hearts, and beliefs. And, most importantly, it will help everyone see, understand, and perhaps even appreciate and commit to what needs to be done. Well, it’s not quite like that. In fact, the stronger and louder the data, the more likely it is to be questioned. And there is a good reason for that, which is often left between the lines. ![](https://m.stacker.news/113582) There is nothing more disappointing than finding a real problem that real people struggle with and facing the harsh reality of research not being trusted or valued. We’ve all been there before. The best thing you can do is to be prepared: have strong data to back you up, include both quantitative and qualitative research — preferably with video clips from real customers — but also paint a viable future which seems within reach. And sometimes nothing changes until something breaks. And at times, there isn’t much you can do about it unless you are prepared when it happens. > “Data doesn’t change minds, and facts don’t settle fights. Having answers isn’t the same as learning, and it for sure isn’t the same as making evidence-based decisions.” > <sub>— Erika Hall</sub>

52 Weeks of Obsessions ![](https://m.stacker.news/113578) Each week or two for 52 times, I’ll design a custom page exploring a topic I’m currently obsessed about, giving me a mini design challenge. It should feel like a visual bonbon, a lovely little surprise every week, as a small antidote to the algorithmic curation. Straight to your inbox. It’s a space to document what matters to me right now and create a lasting personal library of inspiration. By revisiting and building on these ideas over time, I hope to preserve not just the content but the context and journey behind it. A personal space to reflect, document, and experiment. ‍I want this to be a stepping stone in my journey to build a more healthy and fun relationship with tech and creativity again. There’s no reason to do this other than for myself. It feels refreshing. It will probably be harder than I anticipate (especially the recurring cadence), but we’ll see! ![](https://m.stacker.news/113579)

James Shore: The Accountability Problem ![](https://m.stacker.news/113438) Software development may be a foreign country to the rest of the business, but we can still be a trusted part of their empire. To do so, we have to take accountability, rather than allowing it to be forced upon us. Rather than falling into the habit of delivering X features on Y date, we can be accountable for what really matters: results, just like our colleagues in sales, marketing, and other parts of the business. And the results we create are new opportunities. Enabling more prospects. New partners. More leads. Better retention. Product bets allow us to be accountable for the estimated value of those results. So far, they’ve been working for me. I hope they work for you, too.
