Johns Hopkins is doing a long-COVID survey and apparently is having trouble finding controls -- people who haven't had COVID. If this is you, consider giving them some clicks.

Congrats to Nouran Soliman on a fantastic talk on her best paper awarded work on meronimity (mitigating barriers to engaging in public conversations with partial, self-selected, and verified identity signals)! 👏👏 We also deployed a system for it right here in Mastodon at @LiTweeture a while back 😌 Read the paper here: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3613904.3642241

@axz @LiTweeture nice! Btw did you coin the term meronymity? 🤓

The antidote to AI destroying the web is to strengthen human connection and to make those connections a fundamental part of the open web. Quickly.

@mike that's what we're doing in the fediverse ;)

@seeingwithsound @mike I personally wouldn’t completely discard LLMs. For example, I think self hosted LLMs could be helpful in curating the federated feed. Similarly, ML recommendation systems could help people find interesting accounts or posts among other things. I think the problem is with deception and lack of control, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@seeingwithsound @mike for sure! I just don't get the completely anti-AI vibe sometimes. Partly because AI doesn't mean anything and means everything at the same time.

In a world with many “smart” devices, we need better tools to let us be in control of them.

@raynez and team built one such tool that enables, say, parents, to create ✨immersive stories ✨ that leverage smart speakers, lights, thermostats, fans, and other digitally connected devices, in addition to traditional pixels on a screen.

Check out Lei's presentation on the future of storytelling and at today at 2pm in room 306 (in 30 min!)

@raynez worked on this project with undergrad intern @daekun and our team at Snap. They both will join @hci in the Fall, one as postdoc and the other as PhD student!

@cfiesler the most surprising thing for me is how sticky the product is for so many people who would continue using it no matter what

If you are interested in presenting "work in progress" that intersects computing and society, consider submitting a talk to ACM SIGCAS Works In Progress (WIP). These are online discussions where you can present your work, discuss it with the SIGCAS community, and gain insightful feedback.

To submit a talk, complete the following form: https://forms.gle/N7tuc5e4ELhGLLiSA

We encourage researchers, professionals, and students to participate!

I hate the term "data analytics." By definition, analytics have to be about data. Otherwise what are you analyzing? Vibes?

andresmh,

@bwaber ditto “data science.” Although I guess theoretical physics might not need data.

i'm like 10 years late to this party but just got an apple watch, been having issues with things on phone and watch interfering. e.g., if Siri is on in both then when i say Siri sometimes one responds and the other; also, notifications get messed up between phone and watch, sometimes goes on one, sometimes on both, etc.; not sure what the best mental model is for using this all properly

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@pg the Apple Watch is such a great idea but poor execution. Siri is useless. Notifications are ok but you have to disable most of them otherwise it gets annoying. Find my phone and 2FA are the most useful feature. Also receiving calls when phone is lost. Oh also making the screen all white when you need a light is helpful if you don’t have your phone.

andresmh,
@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@chrisamaphone @pg I’m still sticking around with the Apple Watch. When I worked at MSR I learned it’s always best to embrace whatever ecosystem I’m in 🤷. If I had an Android phone I would switch to an Android Watch.

@andresmh@hci.social avatar

@pg @chrisamaphone haha I did love the aesthetics of windows phone OS. Metro design was perfect on the phone.

@bwaber woah! Every time I return to Boston, I’m surprised at how different Kendall Sq is. My first apartment there was 259 Broadway, and it was such a desolate area.

@natematias @bwaber, what's the most exciting option now? Last time I was there, I tried Tatte, and it was pretty good!
