Des disques durs reconditionnés

The comparisons are a nice reminder that we don’t have to take in what we put out.

I now feel reconciled that this is not a problem or a sign that we’re in the wrong line of work.

Dans un autre registre, la femme est « un être humain défini par ses caractères sexuels qui lui permettent de concevoir et de mettre au monde des enfants », pointe la LDH. « Faut-il en conclure qu’une femme stérile ou ménopausée n’en est pas une ? », s’interroge-t-elle. Elle épingle également la définition de l’hétérosexualité, qui est décrite comme une relation « naturelle » entre les sexes ; « ce qui implique que l’homosexualité ne l’est pas », en déduit la LDH.

Years ago I read this review on a new book at the time, The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better After 50 by Jonathan Rauch. The book explores the phenomenon of a "U-shaped" trajectory in life satisfaction. Drawing on extensive research, Rauch reveals that happiness often declines from our 20s into our 40s, reaching a low point in midlife, before rising again in our 50s and beyond. This pattern, observed across various cultures and demographics, suggests that the midlife slump is a natural phase rather than a crisis. When I read the review I remember thinking, sweet! I have something to look forward to in a few years.

Headline: Reaching people on the internet

Frame 1
Title: How it used to be:
Character Matt stands in front of modest building labeled "Matt's Website" with flags "Email", "Netvibes" (sp?), and "RSS" flags flying from roof. Matt says, "Come on over! I've got some neat stuff here." as a small group listens.

Frame 2
Title: What Happened:
Matt's modest building is now dwarfed by a giant skyscraper with Facebook logo on it. Sign above entrance says, "Welcome, new active users!" The small group of characters rushes over to Facebook while Matt says, "Actually, follow me over there. It'll be easier for us to reach each other."

Frame 3
Title: Where we're at now:
Matt stands outside Facebook building, alone. His modest building stands in background Sign above Facebook entrance says, "Door locks ENGAGED." as Matt yells at building, "Hey, I made some new stuff. Can you show it to my followers?"

Frame 4
Sign above Facebook entrance says, "PROMOTION! Boost this post for $10,000 and reach a fraction of your followers!" Matt looks at building and says, "Fuck."

Un argumentaire en faveur des réseaux sociaux décentralisés.

UX and AI, but no single speaker addressed the training data sources, the energy requirements,

But never once did the question arise of whether it’s ethical to even use these tools.

One topic was expressed: the AI slop

There’s a quote by Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen that UX designers like repeating:

Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context. A chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.

As Molly White states:

There are no ethical uses of current large language models.
