Don’t get me wrong– I’d rather have more blogs than no blogs so if that’s your situation don’t mind me and my niche beef. But consider for a moment that I can’t tell you the last Medium post I’ve read because they’re all the same to me. I follow a lot of UX and design systems blogs… but I can’t tell you a single person who writes on Medium. Those posts and authors have all blended together into a monolithic groupthinkpiece where individual voices and personality are flattened by the über theme.
The case for creating a website/blog or using a platform which allows customization: Not being flattened by a centralized platform with a single theme.
by recording detailed actions instead of tactical foresight, they fail to distill higher-level, transferable reasoning patterns
大多数人认为记录详细的行动轨迹是智能体学习的最佳方式，因为这样可以保留完整的决策过程。但作者认为这种方法实际上阻碍了学习，因为它只关注具体动作而非可转移的高层次推理模式。这挑战了传统记忆存储的常识，表明简单记录所有交互并不等同于有效学习。

However, existing agent protocols (e.g., A2A and MCP) under specify cross entity lifecycle and context management, version tracking, and evolution safe update interfaces, which encourages monolithic compositions and brittle glue code.
大多数人认为当前的智能体协议已经足够完善，能够有效管理复杂的AI系统。但作者认为现有协议存在严重不足，特别是在实体生命周期、上下文管理和版本控制方面，这会导致系统变得脆弱和难以维护。这是一个挑战行业共识的观点，因为许多研究者可能认为现有框架已经能够处理这些挑战。
Updates between versions are bolded.
这个简单的格式化选择揭示了一个令人惊讶的实践：系统提示的变更历史被刻意设计为难以追踪。通过只突出显示变更内容而非完整版本，普通用户无法轻松理解系统提示的演变轨迹，这种设计选择实际上限制了用户对AI行为变化的理解和适应能力。
The system prompt also encourages certain behaviors, such as always providing code snippets in Markdown.
这展示了一个令人惊讶的设计决策：Anthropic强制要求代码必须以Markdown格式输出，这实际上限制了AI与代码交互的自然性。对于追求原生代码体验的开发者来说，这形成了一个意外障碍，挑战了'AI应该适应开发者需求'的常识。
the person typically wants Claude to make a reasonable attempt now, not to be interviewed first
这一指令挑战了传统人机交互中'先澄清再行动'的常识。Anthropic似乎发现用户更倾向于让AI自行推断并尝试，而非不断询问确认。这一反直觉发现揭示了用户与AI交互的新模式，可能改变我们设计AI助手的传统思路。
Research has shown that involving workers' perspectives in the design of workplace technologies promotes sustainable improvements in productivity and well-being.
这一发现挑战了自上而下技术实施的常规模式，强调员工参与设计的重要性。这一反直觉观点表明，最有效的AI应用往往不是来自高层战略，而是来自一线员工的实际需求和创意。这一发现对组织如何实施AI转型提供了重要启示，值得深入研究如何将这一原则转化为具体实践。

until now, my approach hasn’t been to create a game around a story, but rather, to develop worldbuilding and narrative within the game system.
Thought on games with notable stories: Focus on game system first and build world and narrative within the system.
However, in a world overflowing with games, getting a slice of that pie of gamers is a difficult task. So, I figure there are about six people in the world who love everything I make, and I’ll do my best to cater my games specifically to them.
Interesting thought on making games (or any art) for a small audience of people who love your work, at least as a start point.
world escalates with you as new threats match your rising power.
This is what I'm talking about in the above comment. Except, of course, this is in reverse. It highlights how the so called negative effects can be thematically appropriate.
When something is taken away, it should change the shape of play rather than simply shrink it.
I think a little bit of shrinking of scope is appropriate. But I suppose you could say that if you do it right, it's only really shrinking in the sense that. You are effecting the theme of the game effectively.
That includes ongoing partnerships with national laboratories such as Los Alamos National Laboratory, where we are exploring AI-guided protein and catalyst design, including the ability of AI systems to modify biological structures while preserving or improving key functional properties. Over time, we expect these systems to become increasingly capable partners in discovery—helping scientists move faster from question to evidence, from evidence to insight, and from insight to new treatments for patients.

这一观察揭示了AI生成设计与实际设计系统之间的根本差异。虽然AI可以生成技术上有效的UI界面，但这些设计缺乏与特定设计系统的连贯性和一致性，导致设计师不得不丢弃这些生成内容重新开始。这表明当前AI设计工具在理解和应用设计语言方面的局限性。
Agents read them before touching the canvas. Combined with use_figma, agents now have both access and context they know how to work in Figma and they know how to work in your Figma.
这一洞见揭示了Figma for Agents的创新解决方案：通过让AI代理在设计前读取设计规范，同时提供对实际Figma系统的访问权限，解决了AI与设计系统整合的关键问题。这种方法代表了AI设计工具的重要进步，从通用生成转向特定品牌环境的理解。
Every AI-generated design has the same tell: it doesn't look like your product. Components are invented. Spacing is arbitrary.
这一观察令人惊讶，揭示了AI生成设计的可识别特征。AI生成的UI虽然技术上可行，但缺乏与实际产品的视觉一致性，组件和间距都是随意创建的。这表明AI设计工具在理解品牌语言和设计系统方面存在根本性挑战。
AI-generated designs break brand standards because agents can't see your design system.
这一观点揭示了当前AI设计工具的核心缺陷：生成的UI虽然技术上可行，却无法遵循品牌规范，导致设计系统的一致性被破坏。这表明AI与设计系统整合的必要性，以及当前AI设计工具与实际设计实践之间的脱节。
The fundamental architecture remains: Ollama inserts itself as a middleman between you and your models, and that middleman is slower, less capable, and less compatible than the tools it sits on top of.
这句话精辟地指出了Ollama的核心架构问题——它将自己定位为用户与模型之间的中间层，但这个中间层实际上增加了复杂性、降低了性能和兼容性，违背了'简化'的初衷，这种设计哲学值得深思。

Jack Cheng considers Pip, his Plus One, somewhere between a colleague and pet with a personality—one he programmed himself, drawing on references from Studio Ghibli, bird watching, and Catherine O'Hara.
编辑 Jack Cheng 用吉卜力工作室、观鸟和 Catherine O'Hara 作为参考，亲手编程赋予 AI 助手 Pip「介于同事与宠物之间」的性格——这个细节令人着迷。它意味着「个性定制」正在成为 AI 工作流的核心能力，就像曾经 Photoshop 技能是设计师的必备项。未来，「你的 AI 助手的性格设计有多好」可能成为衡量知识工作者专业程度的新维度。
A "parallel organization chart," in which each AI worker has a name, manager, and job description, allows your company to move faster than it ever could with humans alone.
「平行组织架构」——这个概念把 AI Agent 从工具变成了组织成员。每个 AI 有名字、汇报关系和职位描述，这意味着 Every 实际上在运行两套组织：一套人类，一套 AI。令人惊讶的是，这种设计并非隐喻，而是字面意义上的运营实践。这是 AI 组织化最前沿的实验：不问「AI 能做什么」，而问「AI 应该向谁汇报」。
We evaluate 452 tasks from the public APEX-Agents dataset spanning investment banking, management consulting, and corporate law
452 个任务跨越投资银行、管理咨询、公司法三个领域——这三个领域是全球「知识密集型工作」的代表，也是最难被 AI 替代的白领职业。APEX-Agents 选择这三个领域作为 benchmark，本身就是一个宣言：AI 已经准备好挑战那些曾经被认为「最安全」的专业工作。而最高分只有 33.3% 这个事实同样是一个宣言：这个挑战才刚刚开始。
design the environment well, you let the agent run, and you own what it produces.
作者对Agent问责制的重塑极具启发：从微观的步骤审批转向宏观的环境设计。人类不对Agent的每一步负责，而是对塑造Agent行为的“场域”负责。这是一种管理思维的升维，把焦点从控制动作转移到了设计系统。
it almost always traces back to the interface rather than the language model
这是一个极具反直觉的深刻洞见：AI产品的不靠谱往往是界面问题而非模型问题。当我们将责任推给算法黑盒时，作者指出通过优秀的交互设计构建结构和护栏，能有效补偿模型的不确定性，这才是当下的核心设计挑战。
Non-deterministic software breaks the contract.
传统软件的确定性承诺被AI的非确定性打破，这是当前AI产品体验“滑溜”的根源。作者敏锐地指出，这并非单纯的模型缺陷，而是设计契约的失效。我们需要用界面设计来重塑这种可靠性，为不可控的输出建立护栏。
I feel confident, though, that the slippery feeling people associate with AI products is a solvable problem, and the solution looks more like thoughtful interface design than better models. The models will keep improving on their own. The harder work is building the structure around them so that their output feels reliable, legible, and trustworthy.
大多数人认为AI产品的可靠性将随着模型技术的进步而提高，但作者认为真正的挑战在于围绕模型构建结构和界面，而非模型本身。这一观点挑战了AI领域的技术决定论思维，强调了设计的重要性。
When you delegate an issue to an agent in Linear, the delegation is visible. There's a person who set the agent loose within that system, and that person is accountable for the outcome. You design the environment well, you let the agent run, and you own what it produces.
大多数人认为AI代理的行为应由代理本身或实时监控系统负责，但作者提出责任在于最初设置代理的人。这一观点将问责制从实时交互转向了初始授权，挑战了AI责任归属的主流认知。
The more important work happens before the agent even starts. An agent operating inside a well-designed system already has the context and constraints it needs to do good work. In Linear, that means project plans, issue backlogs, code, and documentation. These all shape what the agent does and how it does it.
大多数人认为AI系统的责任在于实时监控和干预，但作者认为真正的责任在于事前的系统设计和环境构建。这一观点将问责制从实时交互转向了系统设计阶段，挑战了传统的AI治理思维。
The first interface that spread for AI tools was the chat window. That makes sense. When you don't know what something can do, the safest approach is to let people ask. A conversation feels familiar, it stretches across many situations, and it doesn't force a specific structure up front.
大多数人认为聊天界面是AI交互的理想形式，因为它直观且灵活，但作者暗示这只是探索阶段的工具，而非严肃工作的解决方案。这一观点挑战了当前AI工具设计中聊天界面占主导地位的趋势。
Non-deterministic software breaks the contract. When outcomes can vary, sometimes wildly, based on what someone types into the same chat window, designing for reliability becomes genuinely harder. This slippery feeling is the design problem of this era, and it almost always traces back to the interface rather than the language model—which means it belongs to designers, not researchers.
大多数人认为AI的不确定性是一个技术问题，需要更好的模型来解决，但作者认为这是一个设计问题，属于设计师而非研究人员的责任。这一观点挑战了AI领域的主流认知，即技术进步是解决AI不可靠性的主要途径。
A fourth built the presentation using a JavaScript library. A fifth critiqued the overall flow & content.
值得注意的是第五个agent的角色：批评与审视。在多智能体并行架构中，不仅需要执行具体任务的工人，更需要引入自我纠错与元认知机制。这种“左右互搏”的设计大大降低了并行带来的错误累积风险，是提升整体输出质量的关键洞见。
They meet their target S-parameter specifications despite having very alien-looking geometries.
这预示了AI在工程设计中可能带来的范式革命。人类工程师受限于直觉，往往在熟悉的几何模式中打转；而生成式模型通过探索庞大的设计空间，能发现人类从未设想却能完美满足物理规范的“外星结构”。这不仅提升了效率，更拓展了人类对物理利用的边界。
A wire becomes a transmission line. A bend becomes a reflector. Two parallel traces become coupled antennas. The geometry is the circuit.
这一论断深刻揭示了射频设计的核心本质。在低频下，拓扑连接是关键；但在射频领域，物理几何形状直接决定了电磁行为。这打破了传统电路设计的直觉，指明了为什么传统基于拓扑的思路在射频领域会失效，物理结构本身就是电路的逻辑。
what makes the LLM a disciplined wiki maintainer rather than a generic chatbot.
架构中的Schema层是约束LLM涌现行为的定海神针。没有结构化指令的LLM只是闲聊机器人，而Schema将其规训为严谨的“图书管理员”。这深刻揭示了在Agent架构中，显式规则约束比隐式能力依赖更为关键。
Obsidian is the IDE; the LLM is the programmer; the wiki is the codebase.
这是一个极具启发性的隐喻。它重新定义了人机协作的边界：人类负责意图对齐、信息源策展和方向探索，而LLM承担枯燥的交叉引用、一致性维护等“体力活”。将知识管理视作软件开发，让LLM成为最忠诚的底层码农，极大释放了人类的认知带宽。
each new engineer arrives with no memory of what happened on the previous shift
这个比喻极其精准地揭示了长周期Agent的核心困境。上下文窗口的限制使得Agent如同失忆的轮班工程师。因此，设计Agent系统的本质，就是设计一套高效的“交接班”机制，让隐性的经验显性化。
a harness encodes an assumption about what the model can't do on its own
这一洞见是Agent工程演进的底层逻辑：脚手架是对模型当前能力边界的妥协。随着基座模型能力跃升，曾经的“必要组件”可能沦为冗余开销。因此，解构并剔除过时假设，是保持系统简洁高效的关键。
errors in the spec would cascade into the downstream implementation.
展现了Agent系统设计中的风险控制逻辑：过早陷入底层细节会导致错误级联。让Planner专注于高层目标，将实现路径留给执行层自主探索，有效避免了自上而下的规划谬误，增强了系统的容错性。
exhibit "context anxiety," in which they begin wrapping up work prematurely
揭示了长任务Agent的深层心理机制——“上下文焦虑”。模型并非只是遗忘，而是会因接近上下文限制而“仓促收尾”。单纯的上下文压缩无法解决此问题，必须依赖彻底的上下文重置与结构化交接，这是设计长程Agent的关键洞见。
Designing for agents forced us to build a better tool for everyone.
这是一个充满辩证法的结论。Agent 所需的确定性、非交互性和显式声明，恰恰符合 Unix 哲学中“易与其他程序协作”的原则。为 Agent 约束而优化的接口，消除了人类在自动化脚本编写和测试中的痛点，实现了人机体验的统一与双赢，证明了良好抽象的普适价值。
Every prompt is a flag in disguise
这句话精准地概括了 CLI 工具现代化的核心原则。交互式提示虽然对人类友好，但对自动化脚本和 AI Agent 构成了不可逾越的障碍。将其转化为 flag，不仅是为 Agent 开门，更是强迫开发者理清“必需信息”的边界，从而设计出更健壮的接口。
You don't need a separate agent API. You need to look at every `input()` call, every CWD assumption, every pretty-printed-only output, and ask: what if the user on the other end is a process, not a person?
大多数人认为需要为AI代理创建专门的API或接口，但作者提出反直觉的观点：不需要单独的代理API，而应该重新设计现有的CLI工具，使其同时支持人类和代理。这种统一的方法更加高效，避免了维护两套接口的复杂性。
Implicit state is the Enemy
大多数开发者认为当前工作目录（CWD）和环境变量等隐式状态是理所当然的，是提高开发效率的捷径。但作者认为这些隐式状态是敌人，因为它们会给AI代理带来困难。通过使所有状态显式化，不仅解决了代理的问题，也使工具对人类更可预测和可脚本化。
The funny part is that none of this made the CLI worse for humans. The TUI picker still works and looks fancy, progress spinners still spin, confirmation dialogs still confirm. We just added a second door.
大多数人认为增加对AI代理的支持会使工具变得复杂，降低人类用户体验。但作者认为，为AI代理添加的功能实际上没有损害人类用户体验，反而通过增加'第二扇门'（非交互式接口）同时改善了两种用户群体的体验。
Every prompt is a flag in disguise
大多数开发者认为交互式提示是CLI工具的良好用户体验设计，但作者提出反直觉的观点：每个交互式提示都应该有对应的标志（flag）替代方案。这是因为AI代理无法处理交互式输入，而将所有提示转换为标志不仅支持代理，还使工具更加可编程和可测试。
Designing for agents forced us to build better tools for everyone.
大多数人认为为AI代理设计工具会使其对人类用户更加复杂或难以使用，但作者认为为AI代理设计工具实际上改善了所有用户的体验。因为代理的约束（如需要明确的参数、避免隐式状态）恰好使工具更加模块化、可脚本化和可测试，这对人类开发者同样有益。
Implicit state is the Enemy
大多数人认为CLI工具应该利用隐式状态（如当前工作目录）来简化用户操作。但作者认为，所有隐式假设都是AI代理的绊脚石，明确指定所有参数和路径不仅有利于代理，也让人类用户的脚本更加健壮和可预测。
Every prompt is a flag in disguise
大多数人认为交互式提示是CLI工具的最佳实践，因为它能引导用户完成复杂任务。但作者认为，每个交互式提示都应该有对应的命令行标志，因为这种设计让工具既能服务于人类用户，也能被AI代理自动化使用，而不需要额外的API层。
Designing for agents forced us to build better tools for everyone.
大多数人认为设计AI代理工具会专门针对机器，可能会牺牲人类用户体验。但作者认为，为AI代理设计工具反而能提升所有用户的体验，因为代理带来的约束条件（如明确的状态管理、可预测的接口）同样让工具对人类开发者更加友好和可脚本化。
以 Enter 键为锚点，捕捉用户每一次表达意图的瞬间。

Our work demonstrates that designs informed by Structure-Mapping Theory can support users in navigating, making use of, and engaging with variation present in information. In this sense, AbstractExplorer enables dialectical activities that users may otherwise have found to be too tedious or difficult to engage with.

Exploring through colors: Each photo page has a list of the top eight colors in the photo. When you click on a color, you can explore all the other photos in which that color is one of the the main ones. In this way, all my photos are connected aesthetically. The navigation on a photo page is within the event.
Interesting web design idea for photography websites. Each photo lists with the photo meta data and description the top eight colors in the photo. Visitors can select any one of colors and seen an archive of every photo where that is one of the top eight featured colors.

This could be an interesting template for a stationery design.
My point is that the property of associated/dissociated is completely unrelated to the property of realistic/unrealistic.
Iwould argue that the issue here is that the term 'realism' is more like 'internal consistwncy' or 'verisimilitude'. When we have an event that happens and breaks verisimilitude it breaks us out of the game. Whereas accepting the initial premise of warp drive means that a ship warping into space next tk you isn't braking the expectation. Whereas dissassociated mechanics are breaking those expectations because there's no reason why the character ahould only make a one handed catch per game.
*Caravan means that Marla will gets +1E and that she can travel 1 HEX for free with them. They also sell/buy as in towns.

I suppose the most logical would be that the scale shifts and your're unlikely to ckme accross a smaller encounter bht quite likely to come accross a larger oneI wouldn't want to up the likelihood too much more the result if you do get an encounter.

I analogize typewriters to cars: there really isn't a "beginner friendly" option, they're all just cars or typewriters. This being said, how well built and engineered they are and some of the smaller optional features or "trim lines" can differ a fair amount. With typewriters, one of the biggest trim differences is the tabulator (does it have one and how do the controls work? If you're a screen writer, you really want one, but if you're doing other general writing, you can get away without one typically.)
With Olivetti, you're probably going to find peak typewriter manufacturing and materials from the 1930s into the early 1970s. The best stuff is likely in the 50s and 60s where their design chops are also the strongest. Their stuff in the mid-70s and after becomes more plastic and isn't as solid (eg. Lettera 35).

Some suggestions: <br /> Standards: Graphica, Linea 88<br /> Portables: Studio 42, 44, 45; Lettera 22, Lettera 32
Be sure to take a peek at the individual typewriter galleries and individual machines in the database to see the shifts in design over time, if that interests you.

Solution 2 : Sicko's Lagoon
This solution seems to revolve around the following
What's important to recognize is that Advantage/Disadvantage doesn't technically ban or even replace the diegetic conversation. In theory the two procedures can co-exist, but in practice—with player priorities, optimal play, and finite time—A/D takes precedence.
One solution might be to. Have NPCs use the mechanics in ways that teach the player how effective they are. Similar to the way that Pokemon uses mechanics to teach people how to play the Pokemon game and helps them to avoid the trap of simply getting large damage moves and using only them.

It is not a stable state because the “perfect” balancing point is dynamic – even a 4,000 year old game like Go still has had balance adjustments in the past twenty years.
It's actually acceptable to tweak as the game matures and people find new ways to play it. Don't think you have to get it perfect first time.

I’ve realized it’s much more than just making websites or apps look good. UX design focuses on how people actually experience and interact with technology. It’s about understanding users what they need, what frustrates them, and what makes their experience easier or more enjoyable. A UX designer combines creativity with problem-solving to create designs that are both practical and appealing. In short, UX design is about shaping digital experiences that feel natural and help people achieve their goals without confusion or frustration.

It's an Olivetti Valentine. An iconic piece of design with mechanicals almost identical to the Lettera 32. Its designer, Ettore Sotsass, was apparently not fond of it ("I worked as an architect for sixty years of my life and all people know is this fucking plastic machine" - or something to that effect) and its first production run was not particularly popular.

I’d like to share the process of porting the original codebase from ~67,000 lines of C code to ~81,000 lines of Rust
Interesting outcome. Rarely (basically never) do you see "it's more verbose to write in $LANG2 what would be written in fewer lines if you were using $LANG1" touted as a positive.
Allows for code to become “portable” between files since the code can carry most of its external dependencies inside of itself, making refactoring a bit easier.
Which keys are those? It's possible that they slow down keys which would otherwise risk penetrating the page. If they're on period, comma etc then this is likely the case.

For such work, Dreyfuss collects an annual income greater than $2,000,000, a healthy slice of the approximately $25,000,000 which business spends on industrial design in America. There are about 30 people on the Dreyfuss payroll in his New York and California offices. The boss shuttles between the two.
Before redesigning a tractor, Dreyfuss drove one for days. When he almost ran over his assistant because he couldn’t see him in time, he redesigned the tractor for visibility. Dreyfuss also found that farmers lost fingers in exposed tractor gears, corn pickers, and other farm implements. He fixed it so that the gears and chains were enclosed.

Your question is a great one, but I'll go another direction since I'd dug into some of the history and details of Helen Keller's mid-century typewriters a while back. You can find some details and descriptions here (and in the associated links which includes an accessible video of Ms. Keller using a solid and sexy black Remington Noiseless standard typewriter): https://www.reddit.com/r/typewriters/comments/1ihot96/helen_kellers_typewriters/
She managed on both her Remington as well as her brailler as well as any sighted person, though obviously had someone to check her printed work.
I recently saw another heavily modified midcentury typewriter for someone who, if I recall correctly was not only blind, but had no arms. It was set up so that they could move a selector and type using a custom chin rest. Sadly, I didn't index it at the time, but it's interesting to know that such things existed for accessibility reasons.
As for Braillers, you might appreciate this recent article about a repairman in Britain who was retiring: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/jan/02/wed-be-stuck-alarm-as-uks-last-braille-typewriter-repairer-ponders-retirement
I've got my own brailler, which is a sleek-looking art-deco industrial piece of art with the loveliest shade of dark shiny gray paint I've ever seen on a typewriter. (I'm both a mathematician and information theorist into the areas of coding and cryptography, so Morse code, Braille, etc. are professionally fascinating to me.) I still need to take it apart and repair a few portions to get it back to perfection, but it generally works well.
As for the aesthetics, I personally enjoy the solid industrial look and feel of the machines from the 1930s-1960s. The early 30s and some 40s have glossy black enamel and machines like the Corona Standard/Silent from the 30s are low slung with flat tops that sort of resemble small pianos and just scream out "I'm a writer" with a flair for dark academia and just a hint of classical Roman design. Many of these machines come with gold tinged water-slide decals which really set themselves off against the black enamel, though on the majority of machines the gold is beginning to dim from time, wear, and uncareful application of cleaning solutions.
I love the Royal KMM, KMG, and the Remington 17, Standard, and Super-Riter for their industrial chonkiness and (usually) their glass keytops. One of my favorites is the Henry Dreyfuss designed Royal Quiet De Luxe from 1948 which always gives me the feel of what it would look like if a typewriter wore a tuxedo or the 1948 gray and chrome model which is similar but has the feel of a sleek gray flannel suit on a 1950s advertising executive prone to wearing dapper hats, smoking cigarettes, and always with a cocktail in his hand. Into the 50s and 60s almost everyone had moved to plastic keytops which I don't think are as pretty as the older glass keytops with the polished metal rings around them.
At the opposite end of that spectrum are the late 50s Royal FP and Futura 800s which have some colorful roundness which evokes the aesthetic of the coming space age. They remind me of the modern curves and star shapes of the television show The Jetsons. Similarly space-aged are the sexy curves of the silver metalic spray paint on wooden cases for the Olympia SM3 from the same period. These to me are quintessential typewriter industrial design. In gray, green, maroon, brown, and sometimes yellow crinkle paint with just a hint of sparkle in their keytops I really love the combination of roundedness and slight angularity these German designed machines provide. They have a definite understated sort of elegance most other typewriters just miss. I suspect that late-in-life Steve Jobs would have had an Olympia SM3.
There's something comforting about the 40s and 50s sports-car vibe of the smaller Smith-Corona portables of the 5 series machines in the 1950s with their racing stripes on the hood. They feel like the sort of typewriter James Dean would have used as a student—just hip enough to be cool while still be solid and functional.
Sadly into the 70s, while machines typically got a broader range of colors outside of the typical black, gray, and browns things became more plastic and angular. They also begin to loose some of the industrial mid-century aesthetic that earlier machines had. They often feel very 70s in an uncomplimentary way without the fun color combinations or whimsy that art and general design of of that period may have had in the music or fashion spaces. They make me think of politics and war rather than the burgeoning sexual revolution of the time period.
Interestingly, for me, I feel like most typewriter design was often 10-20 years behind the general design aesthetic/zeitgeist for the particular decades in which they were made.
Good luck in your search for the right typewriter(s) for your own collection.

the “paperwork reduction act” required any government office to check with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the White House every time they wanted to put out a form, to ensure the form was not duplicative of any other existing form. This measure aimed at “reducing paperwork” from the government, has indeed accomplished its goal, but by making it impossibly slow for any government office to put out any form or survey. This hurts everything from website user surveys to USGS surveys of opinions around public lands.

As digital nudges become more widespread, it is essential to consider their potentially harmful conse-quences. Our research, based on 42 semi-structured interviews, found that even with the consent of thenudged individual, nudging them in a digital environment can lead to feelings of stress or guilt. Throughour findings, we developed an in-depth understanding of the impact of digital nudging on user dignityand provided guidelines for designers to consider the potential dignity affronts. The participants in athree-month research study reported responses to digital nudges that could be categorized as dignityaffronts in the form of forfeit, flight, and fight actions. I
These findings raise the question of what constitutes a dark pattern. As discussed in the literature review byMathur, Acar, et al. (2019), there is no clear definition of what constitutes a dark pattern. Some definitionsfocus on the intention of the nudger and state that a dark pattern is an intentionally harmful nudge (Contiand Sobiesk, 2010). Other definitions state that any harmful nudge, regardless of intention, is a darkpattern (Waldman, 2020; Zagal, Björk, and Lewis, 2013). Looking at the findings of this research, thedigital nudges in the app were both helpful and harmful, depending on the participant. This illustrates thatperhaps a digital nudge can become a dark pattern under certain circumstances, even if it is responsiblydesigned.
Digital nudging has become an important research topic for information systems researchers to explore.In general, digital nudging is seen as a positive form of engagement while few study the impact of digitalnudging in a critical manner.
Importantly, our paper shows that a digital nudge can become a dark patternunder certain circumstances, even if it is responsibly designed.

Figma
Figma has many options for line spacing. You can use "&" and points, and others also by clicking the "apply variable" icon on the right of the Line height option.
The percentage calculation is different to what is calculated here. To match the 135% discussed and recommended here, as the optimum distance, use 170%.

Google Docs Line spacing in Google Docs is interesting. You can choose line spacing between 0.6 and 100. You cannot use the % as a line spacing feature.
To match the 135% discussed and recommended here, as the optimum distance, use 1.35 and create a custom line spacing. Note it seems to match the 135% concept, but it does not play out in the higher pts.
