What begin in admiration
is infected with experiences
as important to the things we design
as their idiosyncracies.
Our haunted meat
is the problem at hand, those
linear
biases
that form industrial technology.
Better far to hope with teeth
than to end with organized disappointment.
.
We begin in admiration and end by organizing our disappointment.
The river that ran through the village I grew up in
has a website and it's infected with malware.
We can’t design experiences.
Experiences are reactions to the things we design.
Having a website is as important for most companies
as having a restroom.
We can’t design experiences.
Experiences are reactions to the things we design.
We're conflating seeing the injustices of our world
with thinking that everything is getting worse
We can’t design experiences.
We can’t design experiences.
Experiences are reactions to the things we design
presenting us with solutions of their own idiosyncrasies
rather than solutions of the problem at hand
Software is written by haunted meat
to run through boxes of poisoned sand and enchanted crystals
presenting you with a solution of its own idiosyncrasies
rather than a solution of the problem at hand
Intuitively, an explanation
is a local linear approximation of the model's behaviour
presenting you with a solution of its own idiosyncrasies
rather than a solution of the problem at hand
Machine learning is like money laundering for bias
presenting you with a solution of its own idiosyncrasies
rather than a solution of the problem at hand
“Church bells are considered the earliest form of industrial technology,” he told me over a cup of coffee in a nearby Costa. “In the 11th century, churches were synchronising a large number of people for the first time. When the bell rings, that’s when you wake up and go to wherever you’re working.”
Industry as a solution of its own idiosyncrasies
rather than a solution of the problem at hand
Faced with idiosyncracies
and the problem at hand
we must learn to hope with teeth.
