Nice. I do feel like being able to see everything all at once - or at least having it in the same unit - would benefit me. Not sure I’ve hit db scale yet, but I’m probably overestimating my memory.

What’s you system for cataloging gear? I use “mound building” and “oops I forgot I had that.”

Did we break it? Yes. Can we fix it? Signs point to “not likely.” See historical precedent, or literally anything that requires competence or attention span.

On point and only emphasizes how ill equipped our current leadership is for the challenge. No broad or long-term vision for … anything.

Mark my words: Your personal health, employment and tax information is being stolen from the Federal government in order for Elon Musk to build X into his massive "everything" platform, where your most private information will be leveraged to drag you into the platform and keep you there.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

The secret to knocking out a task you don’t want to do is finding more urgent task you want to do even less. The escalation of procrastination fallback.

User experience lessons right here at Sabino Canyon. A user testing group of > 1 would have identified this problem. Hardware and software have to talk. Though I do admire the UX field modification.

Okay, I have a Bluesky presence, but I think popping from network to network as the company leadership morphs from reckless to disappointing to dangerous is a losing battle. The people make the community and I lose track of good folks with every jump. Except Twitter. F*ck Twitter.

“Hawk tuah memecoin rug pull” is a great sentence to drop when you want to bring a conversation with your parents to an abrupt halt.

I was pretty neutral about the food on my international Lufthansa flight, then they handed out full-size bags of Haribo gummy bears as a snack and now I’m a customer for life. You never know where you brand wins will appear.

I think that’s the presupposition for a lot of this discussion, but it also seems that the models continually accomplish tasks they “can’t” (like understand context), and we close doors to where there may be real advantages for real people. I’ve been convinced to say “can’t yet” much more often.

Wow, these are great. Nice to be ambushed by photos of the Tucson area as well.

I had a boss whose superpower seemed to be sincerely apologizing for things that were not his fault. He came out looking empathetic and effective every time and the organization was much better for it.

I’m not deeply expert in this and most of my WCAG work is in brand design, but the evolution of machine generated text from “a man walks along a street” to “George Clooney walks along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California” seems like meaningful progress to me. I’d certainly love more context.

chance @photodesign.bsky.social · 28/11/2024
I’ve seen the evolution go from very generic to startlingly accurate for specific places, actions and sentiment. I see a lot of potential for backfilling noncompliant areas. That’s all I’m positing.

True, but it’s getting way better. The AI tools I use for keywording and describing stock photos is very, very good and has evolved three generations in the last year. I’ve used it for over 100k photos and it rarely misses anymore. Verbosity can be easily set.

This CAPTCHA. I guess AI gatekeeping to keep out other AI’s but allow humans is only going to get more challenging. It might be time for a new model. (FWIW, I failed.)

Remember when everyone used to make fun of social media platforms filled with boring, navel-gazing posts like “I ate a sandwich today”? Maybe those were the good old days.

The difference between “a new low” and “rock bottom” can only be established in hindsight.
