Ironies of Automation: Still Unresolved After All These Years Lisanne Bainbridge's 1983 paper, Ironies of Automation, has had considerable influence on human-machine research, prescience in predicting automation-related concerns that have led to incidents and ac...

Either way this might be of interest: doi.org/10.1109/THMS...

This paper discusses an orthogonal problem of transitioning workers to monitors of autonomy, something that humans are not good at. The deskilling in this sense reflects a different issue than the one in the article. Of course, the "irony of automation" is still an issue, e.g., autonomous cars.

This doesn't work at the scale and load of major AI conferences, so I see the point.

Well apparently people raised their scores after being able to see the authors. I don’t have a strong opinion either way but for these communities it seems that potential collusion is a problem.

The segmentation of researchers to 3 different platforms wasn’t a good outcome of the Twitter -> X transition.

All for more conferences in complex systems, but very odd to abbreviate it the same as a major security conference.

Thank you for the advice. This strikes the right balance for me to try some things, because as you said recording can get complicated quickly. One question: you say the camera doesn't matter much but you need good light. Where do you find this good light if it's not naturally available?

It's Kon for me as well.

Thanks, appreciate you taking into account my opinion :) Yes I am using freedom mode. I will take a look when time permits.

For me personally discussing about gaps allows students to be too vague (want to solve everything at once). So I'd rather them (and me) focus on a particular problem, of course part of that is hypothesizing but I am not sure I like the current way it is being presented wrt gaps.

The standard advice in my field is to answer the following questions: what's the problem? why is it an important problem (in a particular community)? what is your solution? what follows from your solution?

In the general setting I am in agreement with this advice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIz...

I guess the standard advice is that when doing research you are speaking to a community, that community ostensibly has problems and you are trying to solve problems for them.

I tried this with one of my students. Mostly to make sure we are on the same page on things. I guess my biggest pet peeve is seeing science as having gaps rather than being in a continuum. I'd prefer an option to have a _problem construction_ instead of gap.

No this helps. @gioele-zardini.bsky.social and I have been thinking about how to actually make category theory compelling and convincing and useful.

Thanks, appreciate the detailed view :)

And what is the thresholds that makes this usable compared to other applied category theory papers that are "mumbo jumbo"? Why did this one make the cut and the rest didn't for you?

Genuinely curious.

Interesting, there is some work that lexicographically prioritizes metrics for autonomous vehicles and I have done some of that. Is there something specific you do not to run into the "lexicographic dominance" problem, which would be a much bigger problem for LLMs?

In the south places like these come with more services, such as divorce attorneys and guns.

I've received my first unsolicited email from a crackpot that claims to have solved one of the millennium prize problems. I don't know how to feel about this.

That doesn't seem like a very useful response to my question.

Maybe I am not familiar enough with how this community measures things, but is "human PhD range" a useful metric? If so what does it mean?

I only wish they would also support org mode, but I do use it to share lists with people :-)

This is generally known to be true for expert writers: writers that are experts on a particular topic not experts at writing. See, for example, here www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIz...

This is before LLMs: A student submitted verbatim code including the _other_ students name in the top comment. Failing the class, the student retakes and does exactly the same but with _another_ student. I was beyond flabbergasted.

This is the answer for me as well. The Iliad is clear on this.

I've never used HEY. I am curious to know what you think they do right? I have my qualms with how bloated the Fastmail UI isβ€”and how it seems to be getting even worse in that respectβ€”but it's overall usable, especially in comparison to say Gmail.

12.05.2025 10:37 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I really like Fastmail for personal email, mostly because of the masked email feature. I can create aliases for every vendor I use so there is no mail leakage and if things do go wrong I can immediately tell whose responsible. I would also consider it a really solid platform otherwise.
