Funny thing about Pluribus is that it is not a sci-fi predicting the future; it is the first sci-fi doing media theory work on a recent creation.
I still need to hire more people for the 1285 and I have absolutely no idea what positions this will require, what should I offload. This is hard.
Humanity is like me. It is lonely. There is no one to tell us if what we have accomplished is amazing or very, very childish and stupid. Our glories are stories we tell ourselves. And this is such an obvious thing and also such a shock.
After submitting my paper to The Information Society, I got this response, which made me so honored and happy I cannot put into words. I cannot believe I got this email!
Zea critiqued the search bar as pale white. Trying to come up with a better color, it came to me that I could have used patterns or multiple colors and as always my mind was stuck with modern UI universe, and suddenly there was it: Rotating rainbow as the background. Along the way I also noticed that the clipping is of a world that I like, but isn’t “me”. Trying to figure out what to replace it with, the idea of ellipse popped up and it because so nice.
Also the search bar now has a side margin for when it is focused. The combination of this and my timing animation functions have become magical.
The search shows pictures fairly badly. I have to move to specialized views faster to avoid this.
Here I perfected the automatic cell merge and therefore the created tables all feel super elegant, almost Knuthish.
