These seem to be made by artists trained on traditional drawing. All drawings show knowledge of cross-hatching or pointillism, correct use of values, perspective, and so on. That’s why it looks great today, these qualities are independent of how advanced the digital medium of the time was.

> Why would you want to “focus on the underlying content” here? Tab bars and toolbars still cover the underlying content, and the more transparent/translucent they are, the worse. When something fades to the background, it literally ceases to be in the foreground, so there’s no point in focusing on it. This is like proposing an interface that helps you focus your sight on your peripheral vision.

I believe that's exactly what Apple wants. This new design direction appears to be a strategy to unify all UI for VR as well.

If all controls are designed to be translucent, they (Apple) have freedom to put the control anywhere on the user's field of view on VR and allow "focus on the underlying content" (which in the case of VR, is the real world).

Time will tell if this approach makes sense for 2D screens.

Company takeover by bean counters and clowns. It happens with every company, sooner or later.

Apple remains on the edge with hardware though. I guess the show is still ran by the engineers at this department.

The Philippines has a story of foreign influence on their local politics. It wouldn't be crazy to expect this is just the latest chapter of the 3 letter using it as laboratory.

In other words, gravity would be explainable by statistical mechanics (like heat)?

This looks like a product evolution, but in reverse.

I suppose it takes a lot of deltaV to get a stable orbit over the sun poles?

Last I heard, workers were getting replaced by AI, so this will sort itself out.

Is this what Stephen Hawking used at the time?

The "bean counters" always win in the current state of affairs.

The pressure of the financial capitalism on the industrial capitalism is too high. Any company that produces anything is eventually forced into rent-seeking to keep delivering what has come to be expected YoY growth. C-level that won't let that happen will see the way out.

A much needed area of study. Companies and institutions are drowning on "data", but don't know how to organize information. It gets progressively worse with the ability to generate large bodies of text with the help of LLMs, but no structured information.
