Les formations ont accès à toutes ces notes, les pondèrent et aboutissent à une forme d’hyper-précision où chaque élève se voit attribuer une moyenne à trois chiffres après la virgule. Cela signifie qu’on aura un élève avec une note de 12,256, un autre avec une moyenne de 12,257, et le but, c’est d’avoir le moins de doublon, d’avoir une note la plus discriminante, la plus individualisée possible, pour ensuite classer les personnes les unes derrière les autres.

De la même manière qu’on a un Règlement européen sur la protection des données, certes imparfait, il nous faudrait un règlement sur la protection des calculs.

L’autre enjeu très fort est celui de la participation des citoyens. [...] Dans les banques, l’assurance, le service public, il est anormal que les usagers ne soient pas représentés dans les discussions sur les effets du calcul.

Le numérique nous éloigne de ces enjeux, parce que la technique facilite le fait de décider pour d’autres

About Hayao Miyazaki to OpenAI allowing to generate image with the style of the studio Gibli.

Tante draws the following conclusion:

For the longest time OpenAI’s systems would try to block people from generating images in the style of certain artists. This was obviously for copyright reasons, the didn’t want to get sued (even more than they already are). Which is something they just changed very explicitly. You can now easily generate stuff in the style of Studio Ghibli and Sam Altman made his avatar on X-The Nazi Network a ghiblified version of himself.

This means OpenAI has to make more and more announcements so they look to the investors like they’re still cool and interesting. Any old garbage will do, like a literary fiction writer bot or something.

We can reach the limit with AI though:

Pour les personnes qui veulent savoir combien de mémoire consomme un serveur XMPP avec 2 virtualhosts, 11 utilisateur·ices et 13 salons, la réponse est : ~ 165 MB de RAM

Encore moins gourmand, ce sont les serveurs IRC (cf: https://pleroma.lord.re/objects/4748377b-6551-4319-b2b3-95f714cb649e)

Next time you're washing your hands next to somebody, cup your hands until the water overflows, then look at them dramatically and say "This water is getting out of hand".

Similar to previous shaares I stored

1. . If you look at 99% of all websites in the wild, everybody who worked on them seems to be allergic to semantics and shit. Headings are random levels, loosely based on font-size, Form Fields have no labels, links and buttons are divs.
2. The whole industry doesn't understand semantics and shit.

So when I teach about HTML I always start with the elements that are obviously interactive. I show them the multitude of UX layers of a link.

s and layers of UX that are added to a well considered form. I show them what happens on a phone when you use an input with a default text type instead of the proper type of email.

See the example between a span with an onclick-event and a proper link: the proper link opens a specialised context menu on right-click.

Why "Semantic HTML" fails? There’s no clear UX feature to point at.

First we need to get people exited about HTML by showing all the free yet complex layers of UX you get when you use the interactive elements properly.

You need a good idea of what UX is before you can understand things like the option to nagivate through the headings on the page with a screen reader.

I didn't know the radio button has an "indeterminate state" :o
I am curious about HTML form validation with HTML and clever CSS.

In other words, talks about what HTML does, and much less about what it means in theory. Let’s talk about user experience, and let’s stop talking about semantics and shit.

De même, la CJUE confirme mon interprétation du considérant 129 du RGPD. Une Autorité de Contrôle doit minimiser les efforts administratifs pesant sur les personnes concernées.

La CNIL et le Conseil d’État contreviennent donc aussi au RGPD en permettant à la CNIL de ne traiter qu’une partie du dossier et en reportant le reste et la vérification de la conformité à une éventuelle nouvelle plainte.

"The Jedi use the cascade for knowledge and defense, never for attack."

"But only the Sith deal in absolutes!"

It was so simple, anyone who wanted to could create a free account [on Geocities, Tripod, FortuneCities, or Freeservers and build a website to share their hobbies and ideas.

The web was more about browsing and exploration.

It is worth remembering a website [...] can also be art. The web is also a creative and cultural space that [can be Free from convention defined by commercial product design and marketing].

If the commercial web is "industrial", you could say that the small web is "artisanal". One is not better than the other. They serve different needs and both can co-exist in an open web.

There is a lot of old good website, internet archive links and examples

Not in France.

Seit heute morgen sind ein Dutzend in Deutschland illegaler Casinos ohne Casino-Plattform und somit offline. Denn "the mill adventures" hat die illegale Instanz seiner Casino-Software abgeschaltet.

Wir können daraus lernen:

• Recherchen zu illegalen Casinos wirken.
• Wir können Casinos ihre Plattformen nehmen, was im Gegensatz zu den von der GGL geforderten Netzsperren, auch tatsächlich funktioniert.
• Ich bin den Betreibern der Casinos sehr nahe gekommen.

What is the opposite of "vibe coding"?

It could be someone who does everything like a professional who is never needed. "Overkill coding"?

Bad #UI
experience: I was trying to send a friend some money via #CashApp
, but could not verify my identity. Here’s what their tech support found out:

“...from the documentation you have provided, we see that you have a legal one letter name. While we understand that is the name chosen and legally granted, we regret to inform you that we cannot proceed with the request at this time.”

I sent a response thanking them for figuring out the problem, and I wouldn’t try to get verified -- or use CashApp -- again.

I also sent them the URL for “Falsehoods Programmers Believe about Names”
