“Our approach to your data has been this way from the very beginning. […] You can take your files anywhere. We don’t track what you do in your documents. No-one can view your designs (not even us) unless you let them. Why should AI be any different?”
Bravo.

Not only have we been asked about @sketch & AI stance, We've also been discussing this a lot internally. Today I and @pieteromvlee share our stance as creative makers, read more ➡️ sketch.com/blog/sketch-an…

@LinusEkenstam @RLerelou Yeah I worry that Apple moving more and more into services and content may test their commitment to user privacy.
But I hope sharing eye-tracking data is a line they never cross.

@RLerelou You’d be surprised how little they care about that in their next wave of business.

Strong evidence showing that getting a PhD is extremely bad for your mental health.
A new paper uses Swedish medical records and matches them to the full population of PhD students for which the authors could get gender and birth year data from 2006 to 2017. After some exclusion criteria, they end up with a sample size of 20,085 individuals.
The paper compares PhD students to those who have masters degrees and don't start a PhD program.
Before starting a PhD program, people who stop at a masters and those who go on to seek a PhD have similar rates of psychiatric medication use and hospitalization.
A few years into a PhD program, however, 40% more individuals are on psychiatric medications, before the number falls off as people leave or finish their studies.
You see the same pattern with psychiatric hospitalizations. PhD students are up to 150-175% more likely to be hospitalized after starting a program!
These are incredible numbers, too massive to be the result of chance or a flaw in the methodology. This is comparing the same people over time.
If you're considering a PhD program, and the terrible job prospects and waste of time aren't enough, here's yet another reason to stay away.

My theory is that the designers making all these slick marketing graphics are kept away from the people making the software at all costs. Armed guards are involved. Whatever happens, this joy and whimsy cannot touch the actual software

Sad, but also happy because I’m not tempted to replace my OG AirPods Max

The new AirPods Max (USB‑C) still use the old H1 chip from 5 years ago...
