Am I missing functionality, or do Figma purposely make creating and managing variables/tokens tedious and so fucking annoying? I mean, no simple duplication of a group/child, no duplication of collections…
Maybe less AI fanfare and more attention to improving these core features. #designsky

The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

In my experimenting with AI, I've seen the latest breaks in workflow—coming in and out of markdown/code-block format, etc, etc… But getting your output confuddled in this context? 🫣 Not so intelligent.

Loadsa colours. Beware of the slip-ons. Bought them once, and spent the first few minutes of unpacking looking for the laces. .

It was a significant step to switch to a different web browser in the first place. Now, there is an expectation we may move again—see if they get it right this time. Not sure I have the appetite…

Think I'll choose a good old-fashioned browser and see how they get on from a distance. 'AI browser…'🙄

Paul Weller (Deluxe Edition) Paul Weller · Album · 1992 · 37 songs

Great album for a sunny day—bring me back to many a 90s summer’s day. It was nearly Wild Wood, but it’s been a while with this one.

A humorous image depicting two individuals dressed in matching grey outfits, styled to resemble characters from the movie "Austin Powers." The larger individual, standing behind, is holding a finger to their lips in a "shushing" gesture, while the smaller individual, strapped to the larger one's chest with a harness, has a displeased expression. The background is a plain dark teal color.

Great. Now I need to inject bleach into my eyes.

Have to dig out my copy of this for another leaf through. Although not the same as the actual sleeve, it covers the work of Reid Miles. Capturing his Bluenote cover designs #bluenote #book #cover
