On likes, reposts, and bookmarks

I received a nice email this week asking about my use of likes and bookmarks: how do I use them, and how are they different? The email made me realize I haven't been very consistent about my usage. Here's the mental model I have for them, and how I plan to use them from now onwar…

On likes, reposts, and bookmarks

Daniela Gawehns May 5

Conferencing in Zaragoza this week: #Complenet26 is happening and I get to hear a lot about #graphs, #hypergraphs contagions and hopefully also about face-to-face #interactions .
My poster (and accepted paper and (more importantly) chapter of my thesis) is exploratory work using the concept of social fluidity on interaction data of playing children.
Thanks to Leiden University Fund for the travel grant!

Poll:
* Am I a weird minority that thinks typing on a full keyboard is faster and more accurate than talking, **particularly** if you are in a **shared office**.
* No it just C-suite that works from home by themselves and doesn't realise... that voice isn't the best.
* mixed: voice is OK for emails or prose but *not suited* to C++ code,video editing, fire-wall-rules etc

In conversation with other #UX practitioners, I often lament that fundamental #CogSci expertise is missing in most of our craft's public discourse. An example for that are the Gestalt Laws, such as figure/ground in this video.

Someone designing human-computer #interactions absolutely must understand these principles, even if they don't know their formal names. Judging from the average software UI shipping these days, alas, it's not taught and/or valued nearly enough.

🎒 inZOI is getting a SCHOOL, the studio will reveal the new school mechanics next week.

The devs say the system is in a final development stage: players will be able to attend classes, live everyday school life and ramp up social interactions. The educational update is planned by the end of May, but the team wants to gather as much community feedback as possible before launch to fine‑tune balance and specific school g...

An interesting summary from the editor:

"AlphaFold’s success in protein structure predictions has led to similar attempts to predict interactomes. Here, the authors demonstrate that AI-based screens are very limited in discovering truly novel interactions compared to experimental screens, exposing open challenges in interaction prediction."

Experimental assessment of AI-based interactome mapping - Nature Communications
