The UI era is ending. 🪦
For 70 years we designed computer interfaces. Mainframe, CLI, GUI, Touch.
But with AI, the interface is disappearing. What will come next?
My talk from @mastra's conf this week:
Kobe Bryant: "Failure doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination"
An interviewer asks: "Are you someone who loves to win or hates to lose?"
Kobe responds:
"I'm neither. I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win that supersedes fear, I think it's a weakness either way. If you play with fear of failing, you'll capitulate to that fear. If you play with the sense of 'I want to win, I want to win,' then you have the fear of what happens if you don't. But if you find common ground in the center, you're unfazed by either. That enables you to stay in the moment and not feel anything other than what's in front of you."
The interviewer asks: "How did you become someone who doesn't seem afraid of failing?"
Kobe responds:
"What does failure mean? It doesn't exist. It's a figment of your imagination."
He explains with an analogy:
"Let's use happy endings. Everybody wants a happy ending, right? Snow White finds her prince and lives happily ever after. Well, I call BS on that because two months later, they had an argument and he's sleeping on the couch. The point is: the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it's a failure is if you decide to not progress from that. If I fail today, I'm going to learn something from that failure and try again on Tuesday. That's why failure doesn't exist."
The interviewer asks: "If you finished your career without a championship, would you have looked at that as a failure?"
Kobe:
"No. I would look at it as being extremely disappointed, because I had a dream and goals I wanted to accomplish. If I didn't accomplish those goals, I'd have to ask myself why. Poor leadership? Failure to communicate with my teammates? Lack of preparation? Those would be reasons why I didn't win. So I'd have to analyze that. And as I evolved post-basketball into business, those same weaknesses would reveal themselves there too. If I don't learn from that, I'm going to struggle again."
He concludes:
"I can take those situations and learn from them and have them make me a better person later in life. But if I don't take that stuff and apply it someplace else, that's failing. The worst possible thing you can ever do is to stop. It's to not learn."
@PTI_News@grok is this (indian petroleum ministry order) true? and if true, is it applicable throughout india .. or is it just for odisha? any references?
Here is the full 50-minute conversation between President Trump and President Zelensky.
There are a lot of politicians claiming Zelensky was "ambushed."
There was a full 40 minutes of dialogue before the "fireworks" started.
The president insisted throughout the first 40 minutes that he was focused on peace.
Zelensky responded by strongly pushing back on a ceasefire with Russia and demanded that Putin pay for the entire war.
JD Vance jumps in at the 40-minute mark to clarify the difference between Trump and Biden and their approach to the war.
This apparently ticked off Zelensky which is when the fireworks started.

They dropped $32 million on this ad—and they’re about to get their money’s worth and then some.
Starring Harrison Ford and the American flag, the ad featured several patriotic statements, including:
“Freedom is for everybody. But it isn’t free. It’s earned.”
“There are real heroes in the world, but not the ones in the movies. Real heroes are humble, and they’re not driven by pride.”
“The most sacred thing in life isn’t the path. It’s the freedom to choose it.”
If you're not using AI apps in 2025, you're at a huge disadvantage.
I've tried 100s of new apps this year, and here are the best 14 AI tools that actually stuck with me!
@atrupar Respectfully speaking, i think what you are saying is bs. This was an anti incumbency vote. People were disappointed with the current administration, they felt it was responsible for inflation & illegal immigration. Period. It was not about transphobia or mass deportation
"When I got to Harvard I found a lot of people like him who would say whatever they needed to to get ahead...I hope things work out a little bit better for JD Vance than they did for Mike Pence."
