Respecting your users' dread of the clankers (opens on the source site)
People today have a spectrum of opinions on AI: we range from all-in, overly enthusiastic vibe-lifers to luddite curmudgeons. I personally have been from one side to the other and back over the course of this week. Us AI skeptics have good reasons for our fear/hatred/disgust even as we use LLMs daily: adverse effects on the environment and the economy data misuse training on works of unwilling authors bias, hallucinations and lack of accountability stealing our jobs and more! So please build your AI products to let me opt in. Opting in progressively The idea is to cater to everyone on the AI…

Migrating Doximity’s iOS Newsfeed to SwiftUI Without Disrupting Users or Development (opens on the source site)
Doximity ·
The Newsfeed is one of the most-used features in the Doximity iOS app. It is the first thing many users see when they open the app. For doctors checking in between patients or residents catching up during a break, it has to be fast and efficient. Those expectations defined success for the migration. Feature work had to continue, analytics had to remain reliable, and the experience had to remain familiar to users even as the underlying implementation changed. We approached the migration less like a rewrite and more like a controlled rollout. We moved one section at a time, kept the UIKit and…

Ensuring Safety in the Generative AI Ecosystem: Protecting Users from Non-Consensual Intimate Content (opens on the source site)
Android ·
Posted by Ron Aquino, Senior Director, Trust & Safety, Chrome, Android, and PlayAt Google Play, user safety and developer success go hand in hand. We continue to see growth in apps with AI generated features, and indeed, adding generative AI into your apps is a great way to unlock incredible creative possibilities. However, AI features also bring new safety challenges - such as the rise of AI-facilitated generation of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII). Google Play’s policies prohibit the facilitation, creation, or distribution of non-consensual sexual content. Harmful applications…

Flexible Authentication: Reimagining authentication for millions of users at Airbnb (opens on the source site)
Airbnb ·
Rebuilding login and signup surfaced product insights, not just technical challenges. Here’s how we designed Flexible Authentication at the intersection of product intuition and technical architecture.By: Jose Santos, Mike BarryFor Airbnb, logins at irregular intervals are normal. A guest books a trip in January and may not open the app again until summer. A host checks back only when a reservation comes in, and may be busy with other activities when it does. For a two-sided marketplace where a failed login means a lost booking, and lost revenue for both the guest and the host, long gaps…

How we aggregate 70 billion prices to show price context to our users (opens on the source site)
Trivago ·
Price comparison is one of the key value propositions of trivago, and in doing so, we handle billions of prices everyday to provide our users with the most accurate and up to date price as possible. We can leverage this enormous amount of historic price data to provide price context for our users in a scalable and fast way. Why do we need aggregated price data? As we handle billions of prices everyday, aggregating them in real time to provide, for example, the average price for Berlin for next month, would add an extra load into our application and it would not be beneficial for the user…

How web bloat impacts users with slow devices (opens on the source site)
Dan Luu ·
In 2017, we looked at how web bloat affects users with slow connections. Even in the U.S., many users didn't have broadband speeds, making much of the web difficult to use. It's still the case that many users don't have broadband speeds, both inside and outside of the U.S. and that much of the modern web isn't usable for people with slow internet, but the exponential increase in bandwidth (Nielsen suggests this is 50% per year for high-end connections) has outpaced web bloat for typical sites, making this less of a problem than it was in 2017, although it's still a serious problem for people…
