CHARLES RAFFERTY

The Problem with Early Warnings

People don't like to leave a party
unless the house is actually
on fire. Even then, if the flames
are far enough away
to be pretty, they'll finish
their drink, take one more pass
at the hors d'oeuvres.
How things happen has always been
unclear. Hurricanes begin
in a place where no one lives.
Agents of the government start
to wear masks. ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฎ is
a word my neighbors won't use
yet. They are following
the law, they say, and the sirens
are coming for someone else.

An endangered small wild cat native to Thailandโ€™s wetlands has been sighted for the first time in 30 years, the countryโ€™s wildlife authorities have said.
The flat-headed cat has long been feared extinct in the tropical kingdom, where it inhabits peatlands, mangrove forests, and marshes that are difficult to access.
The last confirmed sighting was in 1995. Now 30 years later, the flat-headed cat has surfaced following a camera trap survey in southern Thailandโ€™s Princess Sirindhorn Wildlife Sanctuary.

Mozilla is asking for your opinion about what it's doing, and the survey appears to be aimed at getting you used to the idea that "AI" will become an integral focus area.

I told them that I want Mozilla to focus SOLELY on improving Firefox and Thunderbird, with zero AI in the product.

can you talk about the fake Sovereing solution like @Vivaldi that is an US product by their extensive USE of US infrastructure.

Also when will you move out from #Microslop #Github ?

Graffiti is a gem of an engineering solution that recognizes some hard truths in HCI about predictability that to this day a lot of people fail to recognize (see also jamming modal and voice interfaces into every appliance).
in reply to mirth

@mirth that's really well put. I remember how at the time, when I was using a palm often, it distorted how I wrote on paper, I had to meet the computer halfway when I wrote my notes, and that seeped into other parts of my life somehow.
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

The letter at a time model is a little bit tedious for extended writing but adding a few word suggestions similar to phone keyboards would pretty much close the gap. I don't enjoy typing on touch screen tablets, graffiti evolved with word suggestions might end up being similarly fast and a lot more pleasant. (edit: critically: word suggestion, but not auto-replacement, I find that infuriating)

in reply to mirth

@mirth I tried something where as soon as it found a letter match, it restarted the stroke, like you write "a", and without lifting your pen, you can trace the next letter, but it's too unruly, I'm not sure even that with practice it would ever be usable.
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

Yeah in a way letter at a time is a feature, the user can always tell what's going on. With continuous writing you end up with the same challenge as voice dictation where the user has to keep track of both what they're saying but also the last handful of seconds because the machine may go back and revise everything. Too squirrely.
in reply to mirth

@mirth the word-at-a-time swipe on a phone keyboard (originally swype, now in most of them) is the modern equivalent and does roughly what you're looking for here, probably even faster.

It degrades poorly when you have to correct individual letters for some reason because the word match is incorrect.

I'd like to be able to swipe either words or graffiti-style letters in a way that doesn't involve too much mode-change.

in reply to Daniel Carosone

@uep @mirth Have any of y'all tried 8pen/8vim? It claims to be faster, since you don't lift your finger between letters, but also its learning curve seems a lot steeper.

I just found this video explanation. It's fucking wild!

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

@ekaitz_zarraga @csepp @uep @mirth ooh I hadn't heard of 8pen -- it reminds me of the twin-stick "Daisy Wheel" typing method for game controllers that I made long ago. ๐Ÿ˜€
in reply to gregori

@Gregori @ekaitz_zarraga @csepp @uep @mirth I've been thinking of a scheme like this one to input operators in Orca on Playdate. I like how this looks ๐Ÿ˜€
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

Palm's Jeff Hawkins uses it as an example in his book On Intelligence as a system that others used neural networks to implement. Palm obviously didn't, and their implementation proved to be simpler and more dependable.

Oh look: #discord outsourced their age verification to some vendor. You know, the #ageverification that countries like the UK want to make mandatory for basically every online service. And the vendor had a data breach exposing photos of government IDs for 70,000 people.

Do you feel safer? How many children did we protect by exposing the IDs of these 70,000 (presumably) adults? Thanks for taking one for the team, you 70,000 canaries in the #privacy coal mine.
