A student asks me a question about #optimisation and #nesting so i'm back into "16 Case stories, re-imagining the practice of layout" with @colm @Femke @Ludi #OpenSourcePublishing
Published in 2012
"a catalogue put together as part of an attempt to rethink #layout tools, and features case stories that range from historical to present, on to the imaginary and speculative. The ‘camera-ready copy’ of this book was created on a pen #plotter: this has required a rethinking of the workflow, including a special font stack built upon engraving tools, to be able to use stroke based fonts."
Tools: #ActiveArchives, #LibreOffice, #Inkscape, Custom #Herschey Inkscape plugin, #Roland pen plotter, laser printer, glue and scissors. Printing: Risograph and Roland Pen Plotter.

Ludi Loiseau. drawing for Ligue based on isotype This image was drawn in llustrator. The top image is o screenshot from the wireframe preview, exposing the actual construction of the vector image. The image below is a preview of the rendered output. The image is the result of o mix of overlaps, linestyles and other transformations. Some of these steps are “baked”. or disengaged . meaning their transformations cre processed into an actuel stroke. Others are live effects opplied to vector-objects. The two images were juxtaposed because we needed to check if the drawing would not produce problems in production. Machines such as lasercutters and plotters, produce output based on the actual stroke of the image. How about? There could be an in-between view where wireframe and final rendering would be overlayed. It would be useful to expose more of the intermediate steps between the construction of the wireframe and how they are processed."An article on "Multi-level type design" and another on "Nested interface optimisation"

How will generative AI firms seek to optimise their models to increase user engagement? 

How will generative AI firms seek to optimise their models to increase user engagement? The problem with social media was never the communication itself but rather the algorithmic optimisation that distorted that communication by prioritising certain forms of content over others. There’s increasing evidence that LLM personas are being driven by a comparable optimisation strategy, even if the behavioural science driving the process is still relatively underdeveloped. The ‘sycophancy’ of the new GPT 4o (and the subsequent backlash) is a sign of things to come.

If the personality of models are designed in order to keep users talking to them for longer, LLMs could get seriously dangerous at a social psychological level. Anthropic’s Claude is rather different because it’s currently trained in a virtue ethics framework which goes some way to explaining why it behaves so differently to other models. But whether they could sustain that approach under commercial pressure remains to be seen.

The problem ultimately arises from the innovation ecosystem which demands certain modes of commercialisation, rather than being an intrinsic outgrowth of the technology itself. This has been my intuition for a long time (inc about social media) but it’s only with Catherine Bracy’s superb book that I’m starting to be able to articulate the implications of venture capital at a more conceptual level.

Use manual chunks with Vite to facilitate dependency caching: sending less JS code to users of your app when possible! An optimisation I figured out when building a chunky app due to the usage of polyfills and client-side libraries recently.
