I think this mostly applies to bad or cheap touch screens, which most cars today have. I used to be strongly in the anti touch screen camp, but after getting a car where the touch screen is basically an iPad in terms of display quality and touch input quality and size, I surprisingly don’t really mind it. Good voice control also helps a ton.
Screens or touchscreens are useless without full visual focus.

Physical buttons can still be used without constantly looking at them, this is a huge difference.

Touchscreens should be considered as a low-cost fallback when better solutions are unpractical or too costly.

They rarely provide a better experience.
Worse than touch screens are those touch buttons (you know, where the thing is just printed on the outside of the TV).

I have no idea why, I'm fluent with touchscreens in the usual way but something in my brain just.... I don't know. Theoretically it should be the same, right? Except it feels horrible and wrong and I even have trouble trying to find the button.

Probably because I'm vision-impaired and an actual touchscreen is usually backlit and easier to see, while for physical buttons I've always compensated by using my sense of touch more (move hand towards general area of button, narrow it down with my fingertips).

The lack of the tactile click also certainly has something to do with it as pointed out above.

I'd actually be really interested to know from any UX design people here that work on this kind of thing - am I an outlier or does everyone hate them?
> Given multiple sources saying different things, It's hard to predict. Though what we are seeing are feedback loops that are causing exponential effects.

> Gambling solely on 2000 years because it's a more convenient prediction would be unwise.

I agree with both of these things. It's all so unpredictable.

But I do think there's a sort of terror-cult around climate change which is not very helpful. The extreme doom scenarios are easier for people to reject and disbelieve and they make people sceptical of changes that are actually, demonstrably happening already.
I've built this queue system probably 5 times, first 2-3 were failures as consumer concurrency was 1 without us noticing for hours. The bloat comes from updating the work instead of deleting I assume, did for me. There are definitely many ways to not do it right but kinda works.
Besides phones and tablets, seldom touchscreens bring anything positive.
> we can put boundary boxes around what is possible

Based on our incomplete knowledge. So we really can't. What would a proof that something is physically impossible look like?
I cannot imagine anything worse than being stuck on Mars with Elon Musk.
> highly unlikely to amount to enough evidence to make a claim that anyone should feel comfortable generalizing to a population of humans

Then what is the solution? quoting a study after all?

You also didn't explain why you mention all the things you "feel" about the poster, given you have such high standards of evidence - e.g. that they are making stuff up - what is that based on if not xp?

> My dude, I literally said

Saying "sure, let's do this" after making it very clear that their opinion didn't matter, and you think they were making stuff up? I don't think it was inviting a discussion in good faith, whether you said it or not.
To avoid going in more circles: So why isn't that happening more if it's so easy? Why does college education depend most on the wealth of the parents? The outcomes are empirical evidence that your theory sucks.
> Kerberos as a much saner SSO system than OAuth.

+1, it really solves nearly all the authn and federation problems. You still find KDC installations in places with large *nix footprints. Sometimes it's AD, sometimes it's MIT with a cross-realm trust.

It's incredibly flexible and transparent to the user. It's easy for sysadmins, and various service owners to implement as it's basically drop a keytab in place, and set an environment variable for many daemons and libraries.

IMO, the only reason it fell out of favor with the web crowd is there wasn't a gaggle of centralized providers that let them stand up services without thinking about the infrastructure. It wasn't packaged up nicely.
Automakers are required to (thanks to the 2012 law you mentioned), so characterizing them, saying they don't mind seems like overselling it.
Yeah but being the only one to not follow a trend when the trend goes wrong also has a huge advantage. I feel like it balances out. Ultimately, designers just need to be more thoughtful and purposeful about the choices they make

I also find it really difficult to wrap my head around how Tesla's turn signal buttons on their "yoke" could possibly have made it through any testing. Did none of the people they tested it on use turn signals?? Did they just not test at all? It seems like the smallest effort of UX testing would've immediately pointed out how terrible this is

Tbh it feels like ultimately it's just companies deciding to skimp out on design. Tight deadlines and lazy cost-cutting measures probably contribute

I will complain because "HDR" is often usually used to refer to the process of /removing/ HDRness from data, ie, tone-mapping, so you can display it on an SDR display. Or so you can make one of those /r/shittyHDR images that looks like it's been deep fried.

This one looks like it's real though.
There were other groups that were looking at how piezoelectrics in a surface could create vibrational patterns that the finger interprets as texture. Apple even through some money at this avenue at one point but I haven't heard anything in ages.

Part of the problem of textured screens is that you have to be able to touch the interface without activating anything. That's newer enough tech that the prices are probably just now coming down.
I'm convinced this is one of the most significant social problems in the U.S. A huge number of American adults spend a third of their lives in an environment where there is no acting towards a common good, and in many cases are actively encouraged to behave in antisocial, cutthroat ways towards other people. There is no way everybody just leaves that at work when they go home and suddenly become good and caring citizens. That's not even counting all of the direct damage they cause directly through the business itself.

Honest answer (and thanks for asking):

First, I want to make it clear that I don't think of "climate deniers" as a group per se like a race, creed, or nation. There's a lot of detail and nuance in the world and I want to explore that, not abrogate it.

I just want to elucidate on that a little before I get to answering your question.

You have folks like the people in the oil companies who knew about the science of the greenhouse effect and still spent lots of money casting doubt on it in public to protect their profits.

You also have people who have honest doubts and questions. I'm even one of them. I've heard that global warming and climate change might have more to do with changes in the Sun's energy output than human chemical emissions, and I'd like to talk more about that, but ooo yeah not in public, eh? You would have to be all like "but I'm not a climate denial-ist" like OP.

So, just to repeat, I'm not being tribal here. (For instance the Chinese Communist Party creeps me out, but I still give them credit for e.g. fixing the Loess Plateau, etc. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20537409 ) I'm not against a group, I'm sick of certain behaviors.

To answer your question "why [am I], personally, sick of [certain behaviors]?" It's simple.

When I was a kid in high school I found my parents' copy of the Next Whole Earth Catalog which was a kind of hippie how-to guide from the 70's. I have no idea what happened to the people who made and bought and read this thing. My parents didn't talk about it or anything like that. But it became, for awhile, something like my bible. I left my textbooks in my locker and carried it around instead (it's like four feet wide and weighs six or seven hundred pounds!)

In it I learned about people like Christopher Alexander, Bucky Fuller, and Bill Mollison, and I began to see, or think that I saw, a better world. A world where humans and nature were in harmony, and "no one had to get nailed to anything."

That was about thirty-five years ago.

So, from my POV, everybody has been running around enacting "Idiocracy" instead and, yeah, I'm sick of it.

There's an older 'smart' knob out there that was meant I think for CAD interfaces. I don't recall if it's made anymore, but I do know that it's shown up on the bridge of a number of scifi aircraft/spaceships over the last decade.

But for the purposes of this discussion, having a couple three of those on the dashboard and using them a bit like radial menus would probably split the difference pretty well.

Speech recognition has mostly gotten over the accent hump, and with LLMs you can bridge the gap.

For fun I tried an experiment, in one context I told GPT to mangle sentences in a way that a speech-to-text might, and in another I told GPT to transform sentences into commands for a car's various ECUs.

Results:

"Torn the hair conditioning gown to 65 decrees." => works

"Can yew plays make it warmer in hear" => works

"It's weigh two, uh how due yew say, it's way to frayed in hear!" => works (!)

It actually understood a mis-transcribed French word in the middle of a series of English commands:

> I apologize for the confusion. I interpreted "frayed" as an incorrect transcription of "froid" (which means "cold" in French) considering the context of the sentence and the surrounding phrase "how do you say." Thus, I replaced "frayed" with "cold.""

It even realized that someone inserting filler like "how do you say" indicated they may be looking for a word in another language:

> The phrase "how do you say" is often used by someone who is trying to recall a word or phrase in another language, or when they are unsure about the correct term to use in the current language. In this context, it signaled that there might be a language-related issue, leading me to consider that "frayed" might be an incorrect transcription of a word in another language, such as "froid" for "cold" in French.

And
And in case you think it just guessed on past commands, I was able to replicate this in a fresh context window with no hints about what commands it should accept.

Mastodon isn't the only solution to run a server. He mentions that a single binary, smaller sized server is necessary.

I would say, either that or a PHP based one. It is not difficult to run Friendica on something like dreamhost. It might not be as instant with delivery, but more than enough for an individual or a small group.
> Also, the authors don't explain how pre-pandemic mask wearing is different than pandemic mask wearing.

This is great.

While Google is busy imploding the next generation of startups can flourish. I'm being hopeful that they decimate a lot of big tech and they don't just all get bought out.

Azure has one of the best OCR for handwritten text, but for normal document extraction (read: printed text), any service would do a reasonable job.

Sounds like a bad cultural fit for you then. Values are subjective. One could easily turn it around and say that a life spent in the pursuit of happiness is a waste. Hedonism is not a universally accepted value. One could equally say that Duty or hard work is the measure of a life well lived.

> Touch screens are also pretty terrible for older people. Vision and fine motor skills both degenerate. Without tactile feedback, it is hard for older people to determine if they've successfully clicked on something. Gestures can be tough to teach and successfully implement without error.

It's not just you. Most touch screens will have some sort of feedback (visual, tactile or auditory) to let you know when you've pressed a button. Those touch buttons on screens and monitors don't.
There's fundamental tradeoffs, as there always will be when you're compressing things into an image model.

So, this is going to have new different issues. Since it's similar to Imagen, it probably can't handle long complex prompts as well, since they developed Parti afterward.

Here's my question: are there any image models where, if you prompt "1+1", you get an image showing "3"?
I think it's because they talk about "hundreds of buttons" and then mention they don't actually use the touch screen, they use voice.
Yes, single log out is an ongoing nightmare. <Stares at Ping>

With a mutex, counter and condition variable you can trivially implement a semaphore and be sure that it's correct at a glance.

Implementing a mutex and condition variable with semaphores is an exercise in Rube Goldberg mousetrap construction.

Semaphores aren't go to because they are lower level building blocks; only in the sense that it's hard to convince yourself that a semaphore-based program is correct.

The premise in this article is false. Linux was never heavily based on semaphores. The main synchronization workhorse in Linux are spinlocks, and the wait queue mechanism: and always have been. Well, spinlocks since SMP was introduced in 1.3; before that, interrupt disabling and enabling.

Wait queues are a close cousin of condition variables.

That's a good trick for JSON-based AWS APIs, but the S3 API is all XML AFAIK. I had to fix some signing bugs in the unofficial Haskell AWS SDK, and found it rather fiddly and a fair bit more than 30 LoC.

The question isn't whether you mind it, the question is whether you're more likely to get in an accident because of it.

Without the tactile feedback of a physical button or dial, and especially in cases where button position varies based on which mode you're in, it's hard to imagine even a high-quality touchscreen being safe.
