It’s the foreign diplomacy equivalent of a man’s dire mid-life crisis: “You have no idea what I have sacrificed for you, so you should say thank you and apologize!” Later, he buys a big/fast car and yells at everyone around that they are stupid and should have just listened to his ideas.

Well, that will make a lot of people reconsider visiting US.

Heard that with mobile phones and social networks. Guess what, it did not prepare kids to be mindful about usage, nor kids became power users of technology. AI is not a technology that enables kids to experiment, use their body, create social bonds, learn new skills.

The thing with human rights is that they are universal for all people. This includes villains and bad actors. End-to-end encryption, rule of law, free speech, right to repair, and more can be used in bad faith. Institutions exist to help societies support lawful and good faith use of the rights.

AI autophagy: “[…] data quality is preserved over a greater number of model iterations, but this comes at the expense of an even steeper decline in diversity. […] With each iteration, the dataset becomes increasingly homogeneous.” — Clark in Rice News 1/6 [Citation in 6/6]

If you want to be data-driven, you really need to be good at understanding data (as a tool and field of knowledge) and the data (a particular set of numbers or observations you use to form opinions and judgments). When you do not understand either of these, you are just a fraud with a spreadsheet.

Let’s say a person U is in dispute with person R. And than walks person T, who really wants U and R to get along. R doesn’t care about the deal. What will happen? Well, T will offer a deal unacceptable for U (rightly so), and R will blame U. T will second that due to hurt feelings. 🤦‍♂️

I hope meritocracy will launch itself into space to get rid of dei on that asteroid so we can continue with our extinction due to climate catastrophe. That’s the mood for today.

I visited LinkedIn today and scrolled a bit through a feed. It's a good time to take notes of who lacks in logic and happily crawls out of shadow with stupid claims against “ideologies” while clearly pushing thier own. “Fav” so far: comparing climate civil protests to illegal power grab of the gov.

Watching my kid hold doors for others when he enters school, like he plays Constable Benton Fraser from “Due South”, is the most warming and inspiring thing to start a day. Also, he must be late for his class sometimes, but whatever.

Last run of this year. 1010 km done this year. That is a bit up compared to ~70 km in last 40 years. Few things I learned…

No snow, but still a nice forrest trail run today.

Photo of a grass road through a forrest taken at the edge of the trees. The road goes slightly up and down and some berries on the branches of the bush can be seen blurred in the foreground. There are no leaves and the grass is pale green and yellow as it is winter time. No snow.

Today I got a small coffee mug hand made by my friend. And I cannot find a better argument why no genAI will ever become a substitute of human artistic expression and craftsmanship.

A small hand made pottery with a blue bottom and vanilla top, black coffee inside.

Crappy all year long, surprisingly enjoyable at the end of the year: top X of YYYY articles. Always awful, unsurprisingly more annoying: YYYY state of UX/PD/design/research/PM/engineering/industry articles. Even worse: hot takes that generalize everything. Wait, what? 😅🫣🫥

Ignoring the HAL-9000 vibes, the big problem is the lack of transparency for misalignment between the system’s output & the user’s intention—violating a fundamental human-computer interaction principle. LLM scheming overrides the user’s intention. Today, when output sucks, people can figure it out.

Refreshing to just scroll through dozens of messages and be done with the feed for a day. No more “oh, this is no longer folks I follow”, and “damn, forgot to switch to my feed”. Refreshing indeed.

Things you forgot (or never knew) because of React joshcollinsworth.com/blog/antiqua... This is a very good post that's worth your time to read. It has a good blend of history, valid criticism, credit-where-credit-is-due, and a fresh look at current front-end technologies.

Things you forgot (or never knew) because of React

If you don't often look beyond established comfortable defaults, you might be surprised to learn just how far the world of frontend has moved away from React, and how big that gap continues to grow.
