Very excited for all of the nice things Foundation Model access unlocks in iOS 26. Makes things like automatic tag suggestion in Crouton super smooth.

New blog post out (finally) โœจ I tested the dataviz accessibility of the 2024 presidential election dashboards, and (as expected) found a lot of issues to write about:

This is a great example of why the web rocks. Safari and Chrome disagreed on the spec, so we ended up with a third, better spec. This wouldn't happen if one company controlled everything: webkit.org/blog/16587/item-flo

@pg community engagement like sponsoring a conference or hiring someone would be the biggest expenses. Server costs or buying energy drinks are peanuts.

This New Open-Source Alternative to Google Docs and Notion Is Backed by France and Germany

Docs is an web-based collaborative text editor that is the result of a joint effort led by the French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿฅ– (DINUM) and German ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿฅจ governments (ZenDiS).

It's a good alternative to popular services like Notion, Google Docs and Outline.

The platform offers real-time collaboration capabilities, a sleek minimalist interface, and all the essential features you could possibly need.

Best of all, Docs is open-source on GitHub and can be self-hosted, making it a viable option for local agencies and companies.

You can test Docs on your browser by visiting this page:

impress-preprod.beta.numerique

using the login:

You can also volunteer to help translating Docs to other languages here: crowdin.com/project/lasuite-do

advice for students --

as much as it is important not to uncritically accept AI hype, claims of superhuman performance, AGI, etc.

it is also important not to uncritically accept that LLMs are useless b/c they are sometimes wrong, that all AI is terrible for the environment, etc.

stay rigorous folks!

And finally, take a first look at HTML export: With it, you can export a website from the same source code as your PDFs. HTML export is currently incomplete and experimental. It is only available on the command line, behind a feature flag.

@hrbrmstr Yaaay, super exciting. And hopefully it's getting proper tagged PDF support soon as well to be something I feel more comfortable recommending.

A reminder to those who manage #websites (I needed it myself):

Remove the share to X/Twitter button from your sites, if you no longer want to be associated in any way to a social network run by a billionaire that thinks it ok to do a Nazi salute.

ah, #chi2025, where the decisions are random but impactful. as always happy to be faculty submitting enough papers where the statistics mean i got some accepted.

but, sad esp that one really nice paper, that went into R&R w/ good reviews, to which a lot of work was done, was rejected.

anyway, you should check out "AI Policy Projector: Grounding LLM Policy Design in Iterative Mapmaking",

What is the best/most fun snow sculptures you made/seen?
I will put them in a (new) post on streetartutopia.com

A creative snow sculpture resembling a ferocious snowman built around a mailbox. The snowman has an open mouth formed by the mailbox, angry black eyes, a carrot nose, and twig arms raised in a menacing gesture. Surrounding the sculpture is a snowy suburban neighborhood with houses and trees blanketed in white.
