Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
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.

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.

The six step guide to practical project management
If you think managing projects is too difficult, think again.
We’ve stripped back project management processes to the
basics – to make it quicker and easier, without sacrificing
the vital ingredients for success.
“If you’re looking for some real-world guidance, then The Six Step Guide to Practical Project Management will help.”

Wat is powerset? Powerset bouwt aan een zoekmachine voor natuurlijke taal die specifieke antwoorden kan geven op vragen van gebruikers (in tegenstelling tot keyword-gebaseerde zoekmachines zoals google of bing). Bijvoorbeeld bij de vraag (maar dan in het engels) “Welke staat van de VS heeft de hoogste inkomensbelasting” zou een conventionele zoekmachine de vraag an sich negeren en zoeken op staat, hoogste, en inkomensbelasting. Powerset probeert het verwerken van natuurlijke taal te gebruiken om documenten terug te geven die de vraag antwoorden. Moeilikheden semantic search: zeer zwaar op processoren internet wordt groter => data die verwerkt moet worden ook
Werking van een doorsnee zoekmachine: wanneer we iets op internet opzoeken, typen we onze zoekterm in en hop, we krijgen bijna meteen een antwoord. De gehele zoekterm is 1 query die naar de servers van de zoekmachineëigenaar verstuurd wordt. Deze wordt opgesplitst in verschillende deelopdrachten. Zo'n deelopdracht noemen we ook een thread. Zoals hier al te zien is, wordt zo'n query opgesplitst in deeltjes die dan afzonderlijk zullen worden behandeld. Hun resultaten worden dan later weer samengevoegd. Dit parallellisme heeft vooral als doel meer resultaten te kunnen teruggeven. Wat dit onderzoek echter wil uitzoeken is of het niet mogelijk is te parallelliseren in functie van de snelheid waarmee de resultaten geretourneerd worden. Dit willen we uitzoeken met in het achterhoofd de toepassing van het semantische web.
Dit is de werking van de zoekmachine zoals we ze nu kennen. Verschillende queries worden aan verschillende query-integration servers toegekend en elke query wordt in threads opgesplitst. De index van de server is ook in een paar delen opgesplitst, zodat threads van verschillende query's gelijktijdig kunnen werken in de index. (gekleurde pijltjes). Nadat alle threads van een query voltooid zijn, worden de top hits van elk onderdeel van de index teruggegeven aan de query-integration server die dan de top hits samenvoegt en nog opmaak toevoegt om het geheel uiteindelijk aan de gebruiker terug te geven. Op deze slide is de interne structuur van een zoekmachine te zien. Elke query wordt naar één server gestuurd en zal daarna onderverdeeld worden in enkele threads. Rechts staan 3 kopieën van de gehele index. Deze index bevat alle informatie van de webpagina's die zullen doorzocht worden. Zo'n index bezit een soort van sleutelwoordencatalogus. De verschillende woorden van een query zullen in de index worden opgezocht en voor elke thread worden alle hits (de resultaten) geretourneerd aan de query-integratieserver. Deze maakt dan een selectie van de beste hits naargelang de query, voegt nog wat opmaak toe en zal uiteindelijk via de Front-end server de zoekresultaten teruggeven aan de gebruiker.
Beste granulariteit voor parallellisme? Evaluatie van verschillende modellen We deden alle experimenten met de code van Powerset’s zoekmachine, een index van Wikipedia-artikels en willekeurige queries uit onze logs. Elk experiment bestond uit het verwijderen van de cache van het besturingssysteem, het herstarten van de zoekprocessen en het afvuren van 12000 queries vanop een client-machine. We tellen de eerste 2000 queries van het experiment niet mee om de file-cache te laten opwarmen. Met deze methode verkregen we resultaten met een variabiliteit van minder dan 1%. Wanneer we de resultaten bekeken waren we vooral bezig met de wachttijd en in mindere maten met de efficientie van cpu en geheugengebruik. En we introduceren een subjectievere manier om ons resultaat te meten: het percentage van queries die terugkomen in minder dan een bepaalde tijdsspanne. Die tijdspanne is, misschien wat arbitrair geplaatst, één seconde
De structuur die in dit onderzoek wordt bekeken, is FGMT(Fine Grained Multi Thread). Een query zal niet meteen in threads onderverdeeld worden. Je moet weten dat er een index van de index is, deze slaat op voor elke term in welke documenten deze voorkomt. Eerst worden alle read-operaties dus klaargezet en daarna worden deze over de threads verdeeld. Dit heeft als voordeel dat de threads zich niet meer moeten bezighouden met het opzoeken van de relevante documenten. Een ander verschil, dat niet op de afbeelding te zien is, is dat er slechts 1 query terzelfdertijd behandeld wordt per core, omdat de index niet opgesplitst is. Het proces is dus niet meer zo afhankelijk van de andere queries als bij de voorgaande methode.
Deze grafiek laat zien na hoeveel tijd 5, 25, 50, 75 en 95% van de 10.000 queries uit het experiment hun antwoord gaven. De grafiek toont duidelijk dat FGMT de snelste methode van de 3 gebruikte is wanneer we queries parallelliseren. Een minder positieve bemerking is dat de snelste queries, de 5% die het eerst klaar waren met hun taak, trager zijn in geparallelliseerde werking dan in sequentiële werking, deze tijd gaat van 14 millis naar 24 millis. FGMT zal dus niet altijd de zoektijd verminderen. Nu kunnen we ons de vraag stellen voor welke queries dit wel gebeurt, en voor welke niet. Na verder onderzoek is gebleken dat sommige korte queries beter gebaat zijn met een lineaire aanpak dan met een parallelle. Daarom zullen we proberen een heuristiek te ontwerpen die enkel deze queries sequentieel laat verwerken.
Heuristiek 1: query wordt sequentieel op 1000 documenten losgelaten, dit geeft goed beeld of query al dan niet veel hits zal hebben. Indien aantal hits onder voorafbepaalde grens zit, sequentieel verdergaan met query. Indien boven deze grens, de rest van de index in parallelle threads verwerken. Deze grens, is een interactiegrens van 1% van de documenten, 10 documenten dus. Concreet wil dit zeggen dat wanneer een query gelinkt wordt aan meer dan 10 documenten in die 'proefperiode', het een query is die genoeg resultaten zal teruggeven om parallellisme te rechtvaardigen. Daarom wordt de query voor de rest van de index dus parallel verdergezet. In deze heuristiek wordt geen rekening gehouden met het aantal threads waarin de verdere verwerking van de index moet gebeuren. Te veel onderverdelingen maken, maakt de threads zodanig klein dat de tijdswinst verloren gaat. Daarom 2e heuristiek, die meet hoe lang het duurt om de 1000 documenten te verwerken, en aan de hand daarvan bepaalt hoeveel threads optimaal zou zijn voor de beste prestatie.
Zoals we hier kunnen zien geeft parallellisme hoe dan ook een sterke performantiewinst. In zijn niet-geoptimaliseerde vorm echter worden de snelle queries ietwat benadeeld. Dit wordt opgelost door heuristiek 1 dat bepaalt of een query al dan niet beter parallel verwerkt wordt door een hit-ratio van 1%. Op het eerste gezicht lijkt heuristiek 2 geen verbetering te zijn, integendeel zelfs, het is een fractie trager, maar wat deze figuur niet laat zien is dat het CPU-verbruik met deze heuristiek ruim 20% lager lag. Dit is dus een belangrijk uitgangspunt naar de toekomst toe om 'groenere' zoekmachines te bewerkstelligen.
