They're only principles if they make you say no to things that you would like to do. Otherwise, they are just sparkling theater.
What usually happens is that teams say "our principles are Empathy and Usability" while real decisions all happen upstream.
This is not an effective way of working, and will be detrimental in the long term. Real impact requires real #agility, which means delegating decisions downwards via good principles.

If you're comfortable, your principles aren't working
Design principles are a tool for delegating and scaling the ability to say "no" to many good ideas, so that they can say "yes" to one great idea.The Product Picnic

Interessantes Interview in der taz mit einer Astronomin ĂŒber die Kolonialisierung des Weltalls und des Himmels durch GroĂkonzerne, Staaten und Tech-Bros, die ihre vielen schlechten Ideen (Herrschaft und Ausbeutung) auf der Erde zunehmend ins All exportieren.
Dabei zerstören sie nicht nur mit Raketenstarts und Weltraumschrott immer weiter die Umwelt auf der Erde, sondern mit dem zunehmend erschwerten Blick auf den Nachthimmel, auch kulturelle Erben der Menschheit und wichtige Orientierungshilfen fĂŒr viele Tiere.
Holen wir uns den Sternenhimmel von den verdammten MilliardĂ€ren zurĂŒck!

This is the single greatest examination of why so many people are falling for the myth that #LLM / #AI tools are "intelligent" or actually reasoning about the output they give.
It draws a parallel to how psychics operate & how we fall for it.
It also shines light on why the grift has become so widespread & why so many #tech leaders are doubling down.
It's no more real that a psychic knows your future than an LLM is problem solving, thinking or even analyzing anything.

Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney.
The FTâs analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States.

Protect your Site with a DOOM Captcha.
Guillermo Rauch [CEO of Vercel], a frontend-as-a-service product, just used the company's AI site builder to come up with a new twist on CAPTCHAâs, one that invites users to play the classic first person shooter game DOOM and killing at least three monsters â on nightmare mode.
#doom #retro #pixelart #gaming #captcha #it #security #privacy #programming #engineer #media #webdev #tech #art #news
![We all know that âCan it run DOOM?â is the first question of a hardware hacker. The 1993 first person shooter from id Software defined an entire genre of games, and has since been made open source, appearing on almost everything.
Announcing his latest innovation on New Year's Eve, Guillermo Rauch's Doom CAPTCHA adds to a lengthy list of notable [and more serious/useful] feats, including authorship of Next.js, Mongoose and Socket.IO, among other open source projects. The Doom CAPTCHA might take the title for most fun, though.
That is, if you can cope with Doom on nightmare mode [the highest difficulty], which makes the demonic enemies harder to kill and more aggressive. Your correspondent did manage it on the first try, once I remembered that it's not immediately obvious how to strafe, and was left with a meager 19 percent health and a suitably bloodied and battered status bar face.
Since most web users find even the most basic CAPTCHA an annoying hoop to jump through, I don't see the nightmare Doom version gaining much traction outside the most sadistic devs implementing it as a joke or to intentionally annoy people.](https://inne.city/photo/preview/640/317906 "We all know that âCan it run DOOM?â is the first question of a hardware hacker.

So hereâs [Guillermo Rauch] DOOM captcha, in which you must gun down three bad guys to proceed.
Itâs a WebAssembly application as you might have guessed, and while itâs difficult to shake that idea from the early 90âs that you needed a powerful computer to run DOOM, in reality it shows just how powerful WebAssembly is, as well as how far weâve come in three decades.
The captcha prefer a few different entry points instead of always playing the same level, and I were always more handy with the mouse than the keyboard back in the day, but itâs certainly a bit of fun. Itâs worth noting that simply playing the game isnât enough to verify your humanity â if youâre killed in the game before vanquishing the required three foes, youâll have to start over. As the game is running at âNightmareâ difficulty, proving your worth might be a tad harder than youâd expect.

CAPTCHA programs that are used to determine whether a site visitor is a person or a bot come in pretty standard formats. Think text distortion [where users type the characters they see in a box amid other squiggles]; image recognition [youâre selecting, say, all the squares in a grid with a bicycle image]; and checkbox verification [you click on that box that reads: âI am not a robotâ].](https://inne.city/photo/preview/640/317908 "[ImageSource: Guillermo Rauch]
