hype vs. job count gap
Scatter plot of hype versus the gap between milestones. As the gap shrinks from 300 jobs to 5, labels escalate from “milestone” to “MONUMENTAL”

okay but you gotta admit, Apple’s cooking with software chart design. look at Apple Health:
Two charts. The top one shows respiratory rate during sleep, visualizing ranges vertically throughout the night with the max and min labeled. The bottom one shows sleep stages with time spans attributed to one of four categories: awake, REM, core, and deep. Both charts show creative and visually intelligent design principles.A chart contrasting cumulative steps throughout the average day to the current day.A chart comparing a recent 6-day average to the previous 22-day average.

Dear residents, Northrop Grumman has advised us to upgrade the knobs in your stoves. We’re coming to collect them soon. Please refrain from reselling these illicit components on the black market.
Email notice of required unit access.

It reads, “As part of a manufacturer-recommended safety upgrade, we will be replacing stove knobs in apartments located on Floors 1 through 12. Access to your home will be required during the scheduled window below.”

caught a glimpse of claude's raw reasoning, coming straight from "the state space"
Claude response text followed by a thinking summary--usually in the opposite order.

Response text says, in all lowercase: "i wonder if there's a body of established work on this. trajectory correction in dynamical systems? control theory has the obvious analogy but the state space is so weird here."

The thinking summary is expanded and says "I don't see any current rewritten thinking or next thinking to process. The next thinking appears to be just "q", which seems like it might be incomplete or a stray character. Could you provide the actual thinking content you'd like me to rewrite?"

Starting a gallery of round corner sins
card with egregiously poor design that, among other things, features 4 different sizes of rounded corner. the worst of all is the enclosing box has high rounding at the bottom to “match” the large button contained within, but relatively small rounding at the top (and even smaller at the top of the “content” area)

Have you ever investigated a bug with your app's keychain? Ever had to bisect that bug? Ever wanted to give up when you found out your "last known working version" doesn't actually work, and the real one is two years old? Turns out desktop apps & VMs are getting pretty scriptable these days!
