Explore the different ways you can preview and display content to make navigation easier for your users.My dad once told me that graphic design is the art of fitting a newspaper inside a matchbox, and I would say a lot of interface design is the same.In this cheat sheet, we will look at different patterns to preview and display content items.

Esther Wojcicki isn't scared of ChatGPT.As a former teacher and the founder of one of the largest high school journalism programs in the country, she knows a thing or two about teaching the art of the written word, and instead of worrying that AI is going to turn students into cheaters, she thinks it can turn them into engaged writers.

Schools are removing logos and references to Ofsted ratings from their websites as a mark of solidarity with headteacher Ruth Perry, who took her own life while waiting for a negative inspection report.Headteachers are planning to stage peaceful protests including wearing black clothing and armbands and displaying photographs of Ms Perry around the school when Ofsted inspections take place.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.The mystery of the 29-year-old woman who pretended to be a teenager to enroll in a New Jersey high school seemed to capture the imagination of the country, drawing millions of viewers to news articles, TikTok and YouTube.Parents questioned the seeming ease with which she had tricked school officials and been able to wander the hallways, attend classes and meet with guidance counselors for four days in January.

Part of the Northern and Central lines on the London Underground now have mobile phone coverage for Virgin Media O2 customers.The Central line between Holland Park and Queensway, and the Northern line between Archway and Kentish Town are now live for phone coverage in the stations and tunnels for Virgin Media O2 customers.

Transport for London ( TfL) is warning passengers that it will be closing Kentish Town tube station for about a year as it will be replacing both escalators in the station.The tube station's two escalators are said to be the most unreliable on the London Underground were installed in 1997, and now when they break down it frequently causes last-minute station closures
The replacement escalators, the same design that's now being used on the London Underground station upgrades such as happened at South Kensington station, and also on the Elizabeth line, are both to a uniform design making future repairs easier, but are also rated to last at least 40 years before needing replacing.

A weekly round-up of London's rail transport news...
London Underground
The RMT union has confirmed that it is reballotting its 10,000 members working on the London Underground for strike action in a dispute over jobs and pensions.ianVisits
Elizabeth line
The final phase of the staged opening of the Elizabeth line will go ahead as planned next month, in a move that effectively completes the project.

Like most museums, the London Transport Museum can't put everything it owns on display, so keeps a lot in storage, and a few times a year, that store is opened to the public.The depot, next to the railway in Acton houses a number of old tube trains, including a never used concept train, a lot of old trams and some buses - but also an enormous collection of old bits of equipment from the past 160 years of public transport from tiny documents right up to huge electricity transformers and bits of old escalators.

Artificial intelligence has been infiltrating every industry and the world of arts and culture is no exception.In other words, AI art is poised to explode.AI text-to-image generators such as DALL-E or Midjourney have been creating remarkable visual artworks.ChatGPT has taken the world by the storm with its ability to answer questions, write essays, and summarize texts, among other things.

Transport for London ( TfL) has changed the company that looks after its public car parks next to tube and rail stations.TfL's car parking portfolio consists of 78 car parks at London Underground, Overground and Elizabeth line stations, providing more than 10,000 parking bays in total across London.

We're taking part in Copyright Week, a series of actions and discussions supporting key principles that should guide copyright policy.Every day this week, various groups are taking on different elements of copyright law and policy, and addressing what's at stake, and what we need to do to make sure that copyright promotes creativity and innovation.

Transport for London ( TfL) has shown off new bus maps for the proposed Superloop network, showing suggested stops and how it connects to transport links, town centres and local services.The Superloop is a proposed network of limited-stop express bus routes to run around London, and the proposed routes will be subject to further detailed planning, engagement and public consultation.

A Roman bathhouse hidden underneath a London office block will reopen for tours on Saturdays from April onwards.Discovered in 1848, Billingsgate Roman House and Baths, which is managed by the City of London, is home to one of London's best-preserved Roman remains.It's also not that well known as it can only be visited on guided tours and those tours only started a few years ago.

The critical piece of London transport infrastructure that's the London Cable Car won't be running over the Easter weekend as the RMT union has called a strike over pay and conditions.Of the 27 staff working on the London Cable Car, 26 voted in the strike ballot, and all voted in favour of strike action.

Legacy Twitter checkmarks are disappearing on April 1st, Twitter says, and in the future, the only way users will be able to get the coveted blue badge is by paying for a Twitter Blue subscription.That points to a big question for Twitter and owner Elon Musk: will that nail finally drive more take-up of the social network's premium tier?

Large language models (LLMs) - aka the models that power AI like chatbots - aren't just confined to uses in academia anymore.LLMs are trained using deep learning models on vast amounts of natural language data, making them ideal for text-based AI assistants.Because of the broad training data, LLMs can find practical uses in a variety of industries from retail to healthcare and more.

If you've never been to the London Wetland Centre in southwest London, there's an offer on tickets for one day in May, so a date for your diary to plan ahead.The wetland centre opened in 2000, taking over a site that had been a series of defunct, concrete-lined Victorian reservoirs, and turning it into a large wildlife reserve fairly close to central London.

The boom of social media and the internet has resulted in a demand for high-quality video content.Traditional ways of video production are time-consuming, expensive, and demand specialized knowledge and tools.AI video generators provide a solution to these issues by enabling users to generate videos automatically in a shorter time and at a cheaper cost than conventional approaches.

Fortinet has shared some important clarifications following what the company described as 'sensationalized reports' regarding recent exploitation attempts targeting a vulnerability in its FortiNAC network access control (NAC) solution.The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-39952, can be exploited by a remote, unauthenticated attacker for arbitrary code execution.

Soon after ChatGPT debuted last year, researchers tested what the artificial intelligence chatbot would write after it was asked questions peppered with conspiracy theories and false narratives.The results - in writings formatted as news articles, essays and television scripts - were so troubling that the researchers minced no words.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, drew a line in the sand Monday, saying it adamantly opposes a proposed law that would allow newspapers to bargain collectively with social media companies for more ad money in exchange for content.Allowing such a thing would create a cartel-like entity, the company claimed.

The more I look at the latest machine learning models, the more convinced I am that these technologies are bound to make their way into newsrooms - sooner rather than later.I could be a bit biased, since I'm currently developing a transcription app for journalists called Stage Whisper, which uses the Whisper machine learning model to automatically transcribe interviews.
