For me, it is the shift toward thin, auto-hiding scroll bars. I see it on macOS, Linux (Mint), mobile phones and probably Windows too (though i haven't used windows in a while).

Is this a cleaner look? I have always loved visible scroll bars because they act as useful guides for where I am on a page and how much content remains and just easy to drag. Now you have to hover over it first.

I am curious what UX changes have stood out to you lately, for better or worse.. Maybe some designers reading this forum will take notes.

Sam said yesterday that chatgpt handles ~700M weekly users. Meanwhile, I can't even run a single GPT-4-class model locally without insane VRAM or painfully slow speeds.

Sure, they have huge GPU clusters, but there must be more going on - model optimizations, sharding, custom hardware, clever load balancing, etc.

What engineering tricks make this possible at such massive scale while keeping latency low?

Curious to hear insights from people who've built large-scale ML systems.
