Rapid Prototyping : Little Bets for Big Winseklimcz
?
It¡¯s time to reconsider the traditional methods you have used to convince your boss and clients to spend budget on your big innovation, R&D, or marketing ideas. The days of communicating your ideas via PowerPoint, jpegs, static webpages, wireframes, and sketches are over. Say hello to rapid prototyping.
Today¡¯s marketplace requires constant innovation. The idea of making ¡°little bets¡± to discover, develop, and test an idea has taken hold. And in this new paradigm, you need to be able to ¡°fail fast¡±¡and ¡°fix fast¡±. Budgets are tight; there¡¯s no room for costly, time-consuming conceptualizing to determine the viability of an idea. You will learn how to take an idea from concept to a tangible, interactive prototype in 30-90 days, complete with hardware and/or software. This is rapid prototyping. Products and software are dynamic and visual; static images and long text descriptions no longer do the trick. You get the feedback you need to either ¡°fail fast¡± or secure a larger investment in a tangible and cost-effective manner.
Didn't go to design school? Have a taste for good design, but aren't sure what it takes to get there? This talk takes a "playbook" approach to the mechanics of design a with process inspired by art & science. This is not your typical abstract design theory talk; you will take away to-the-point techniques you can start using tomorrow. This talk will guide both the creative-minded technologist and tech-saavvy artist through a practical design process that produces well-designed software.

Invited talk at Designing for People: AI and the Benefits of Human-Centred Digital Products, Digital & AI Revolution week, Keele University, 14th May 2025
https://www.alandix.com/academic/talks/Keele-2025/
In many areas it already seems that AI is in charge, from choosing drivers for a ride, to choosing targets for rocket attacks. None are without a level of human oversight: in some cases the overarching rules are set by humans, in others humans rubber-stamp opaque outcomes of unfathomable systems. Can we design ways for humans and AI to work together that retain essential human autonomy and responsibility, whilst also allowing AI to work to its full potential? These choices are critical as AI is increasingly part of life or death decisions, from diagnosis in healthcare ro autonomous vehicles on highways, furthermore issues of bias and privacy challenge the fairness of society overall and personal sovereignty of our own data. This talk will build on long-term work on AI & HCI and more recent work funded by EU TANGO and SoBigData++ projects. It will discuss some of the ways HCI can help create situations where humans can work effectively alongside AI, and also where AI might help designers create more effective HCI.

Imagine you have a group of fennec foxes searching for the best spot to find food (the optimal solution to a problem). Each fox represents a possible solution and carries a unique "strategy" (set of parameters) to find food. These strategies are organized in a table (matrix X), where each row is a fox, and each column is a parameter they adjust, like digging depth or speed.

Slack like a pro: strategies for 10x engineering teamsNacho Cougil

You know Slack, right? It's that tool that some of us have known for the amount of "noise" it generates per second (and that many of us mute as soon as we install it ?).
But, do you really know it? Do you know how to use it to get the most out of it? Are you sure ?? Are you tired of the amount of messages you have to reply to? Are you worried about the hundred conversations you have open? Or are you unaware of changes in projects relevant to your team? Would you like to automate tasks but don't know how to do so?
In this session, I'll try to share how using Slack can help you to be more productive, not only for you but for your colleagues and how that can help you to be much more efficient... and live more relaxed ?.
If you thought that our work was based (only) on writing code, ... I'm sorry to tell you, but the truth is that it's not ?. What's more, in the fast-paced world we live in, where so many things change at an accelerated speed, communication is key, and if you use Slack, you should learn to make the most of it.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
?
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it¡¯s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that¡¯s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they¡¯re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
?
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

ChatGPT and the Future of Work - Clark Boyd Clark Boyd
?
Everyone is in agreement that ChatGPT (and other generative AI tools) will shape the future of work. Yet there is little consensus on exactly how, when, and to what extent this technology will change our world.
Businesses that extract maximum value from ChatGPT will use it as a collaborative tool for everything from brainstorming to technical maintenance.
For individuals, now is the time to pinpoint the skills the future professional will need to thrive in the AI age.
Check out this presentation to understand what ChatGPT is, how it will shape the future of work, and how you can prepare to take advantage.
The document provides career advice for getting into the tech field, including:
- Doing projects and internships in college to build a portfolio.
- Learning about different roles and technologies through industry research.
- Contributing to open source projects to build experience and network.
- Developing a personal brand through a website and social media presence.
- Networking through events, communities, and finding a mentor.
- Practicing interviews through mock interviews and whiteboarding coding questions.
Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
?
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
A brief introduction to DataScience with explaining of the concepts, algorithms, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, statistics, data preprocessing, real-world applications etc.
It's part of a Data Science Corner Campaign where I will be discussing the fundamentals of DataScience, AIML, Statistics etc.
#4: After looking around at various conference session lists. I decided to focus on things that people aren ¡¯ t talking about much today. This talk is meant to touch on some design and development trends that will be popular in the next 6months - 2yrs.
#6: Everyone is talking about responsive design for mobile devices. But more and more TVs and Cars are showcasing web browsers. What does responsive design mean for them?
#9: We ¡¯ ve tried this before. What can we learn from our mistakes?
#10: Concept - tv companion experiences, rather than tv-optimized experiences.
#11: Simply replicating sites on a tv doesn ¡¯ t make great use of what a tv is good at.
#12: TV companion uses the screens around you to create a unified experience. TVs are good at video. Phones are good for controlling, and deeper content. Leverage what the device is good at.
#13: Example - Xbox Smart Glass. The experience is split between a big screen and a little screen. The content on each screen is appropriate.
#17: Smart glass is a step in the right direction. But you don ¡¯ t need proprietary technology to pull it off.
#18: Example - Google Sync Sports http://chrome.com/supersyncsports/#/webapp/
#19: Example - Mixparty by Nokia Music mixparty.nokia.com. Some tech used to build something like this: HTML5 - http://www.html5rocks.com/en/ Web Sockets - http://www.html5rocks.com/en/ tutorials/websockets/basics/ Node js - http://nodejs.org/
#21: Visit Mixparty.Nokia.com on your Xbox to see the app in action.
#22: Currently, TV and large-screen advertising is not very relevant nor actionable. If I see something, I should be able to get it on the spot with minimal friction. The companion concept works well for this.
#25: Some of us have had the web in cars for a while.
#27: These types of apps are the first cut and they are OK. But they are inhibited by old-school controls and existing hardware. The
#29: Telsa Model-S is better, but arguably worse in some cases since you loose the ability to feel the controls without looking at them.
#30: Responsive design in a car will mean - being responsive to the driver and its location. -The car should respond to voice and eliminate cumbersome interactions -The car should be responsive to the location and serve up relevant information -The care should be responsive to its surrounds and automatically adjust routing information based on traffic conditions.
#31: In general, this industry is largely untouched by technology and design and ripe for the picking. General Motors in-vehicle coding platform: https://developer.gm.com/index.php
#36: Makey Makey is based on the Arduino controller. And allows you to link simple keyboard commands to any conductive material. http://www.makeymakey.com/
#37: Makey makey lets us create controllers that are more tactile in nature. This example shows a squishy ball controlling a soft physics body on-screen. This experience is more 1-to-1 than a mouse controlling a soft physics body.
#38: the mouse and keyboard were designed as a one size fits all solution. Arduino and micro-controllers allow us to explore task-specific controllers, which can be much more effective solutions.
#39: The makey makey offers a low-barrier, low-cost way of exploring new interaction concepts.
#40: We held a makey makey hack-a-thon at sxsw13. People used various materials to build controllers that were used to play the mini games.
#46: Another example of where makey makey come in handy for building a prototype. Thumb Wrestling + HTML5 + Arduino. Read more at : http://bit.ly/13hnTaW
#48: Mobile devices are thought of as ¡° touch-first ¡± . But websites tend to be touch-second.
#50: More and more devices are touch-enabled. Websites will need to design for touch as a first class citizen soon.
#52: www.ContreJour.ie This is an example of a site that handles multi-touch just as good as a native app. The tech is there, designers and devs need to embrace it.
#54: Many page sites are commonplace now. For many cases this is fine. But in many ways we desire more. We like apps. Aside from their inherent utility they also posses aesthetic qualities they delight us - motion, responsiveness, and great design. Web tech is finally in a position to give us what we like.
#55: Single page web architecture helps us get closer to this goal.
#58: A bunch of major web properties are embracing app-like designs for the web. The convergence of web and mobile will continue to be a hot topic for near term.
#65: This site is a great example of how rich a single-page website can feel. Note the detailed motion treatments and how snappy the UX is.
