Y'know how there's a pattern of behavior where someone says something is bad about the tech industry or community or OSS software or something, and then every single nerd within a 50 square mile radius says WELL ACKTUALLY??

I just realized that if, like, even 10% of them just... Sat down and spent some energy fixing the problem instead of insulting someone for experiencing it, we would've solved all those issues by now

I tire of all these posts about how much solar energy we GENERATE and so few posts about how we store and transport it 😤

@grimalkina

“Solar energy”, “we (as in human)” and “generate” in the same sentence always gives me “Brain twists”.

It’s extraction mining without the refine, store and distribution infrastructure network pieces.

@design_law

Where’s the diagram to show which bit(s) or is the patent for an exact reproduction? If so, where’s the 3D photo/render for comparison.

😬😖

dahukanna,
@dahukanna@mastodon.social avatar

@design_law so if:

  1. reverse the horizontal colour order with red at the top and purple at the bottom
  2. Arrange the wax vertically with red on the left and finishing with purple on the right
    … 5 factorial combinations before adding layer thickness and boundary variability

Do any of the above combinations infringe that questionable design patent?

dahukanna,
@dahukanna@mastodon.social avatar

@design_law having not read the patent, they are not claiming the entire possible spectra of each colour layer and the layers themselves have irregular boundaries that could@be defined by a specific instance of mandelbrot’s fractal equation. Is this detail covered in the patent?

dahukanna,
@dahukanna@mastodon.social avatar

@design_law

“the claim is limited to the colors shown” - OMG 😱

Printed on which photographic grade paper and ink - https://www.britannica.com/science/color/The-visible-spectrum

They don’t even state industry shared Pantone colour identification!

There is no specificity and without it how would any multi-colour tea-light maker either legally avoid or comply?

Foundations day at #dddeurope badge unlocked: Keynote presentation glitch because of geo-politico-socio-technical bureaucracy visa issues.
Fascinating to me is observing that we have shared social vocabulary, social behavior using existing technical video conference tools to use as “get out of jail” alternative to enable this interaction.
I enjoyed the thought-provoking presentation by Michael Feathers - https://2024.dddeurope.com/program/design-discovery-in-existing-systems/

After "should designer code" and "to wireframe or not", this week we are back to "do we put the primary button on the left or on the right side of the modal?". (I would go with test it, for what it's worth)
Am I the only one feeling stuck in a loop?

@stephaniewalter @phillip
This design conversation makes me face-palm & rub my face, so hard.
This is like asking if we should use 100g, 200g, 300g or 400g of flour to make a sponge cake, without knowing how many people you want to feed.
Where modal button is placed on a screen depends on which device is displaying the screen - a desktop, mobile or other device & whose Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) you are complying with etc. So it depends!

What the hell is "superalignment"? When the "safety" people buy the BS of AGI, it's hard to know whether to take them seriously. We need safety without the superlatives, grounded in present-tense reality, not macho computer dreams and nightmares.

Just got an incredible idea to structure my project on a day to day basis, in a way that combines multiple disciplines without being overwhelming, and practical at the same time, and iterative

Each axis represents a domain or area of research or skills or theme & each coloured rectangle represents an intersection of the above.

Also each level of coloured rectangle represents one iteration of the intersection — the first visualisation/essay/ prototype of a 100 days of _____ type of project

“Nothing new under the Sun” was more of a facetious and dramatic statement, than factual.

I agree that framing/perspective has a major role to play in uncovering the previously unseen, unnoticed, etc. once “seen” it simple, beautiful and amazing in its hidden obviousness.

You have to embrace the irony of all the doom and gloom articles about AI replacing us, while working in an industry where most clients / stakeholders / PMs have no real product vision and no idea how to express what they want/ need. I think we are safe in the long run.

@stephaniewalter

“It might replace ‘pixel pushing’ jobs, …” - based on current tech it’s not going to do that, as it doesn’t model interactions (context+function+form+situational information), it’s mainly used to model sequencing plausible, not always accurate or relevant, written or image form instances i.e. lots of words or images strung together.

It’s being misused for decision making and consequence “chickens” are eventually coming home to roost.

I swear, so much complexity of my life right now comes from me wanting to be able to graphically draw out an interconnected hypergraph but also have a convenient textual representation of said hypergraph

I'm sure this makes zero sense to people. But ugh. It's so frustrating to have the ideas in your brain and just not be able to really tease them out in a useful way for others
