@baldur “The only issue I am facing as a professional #art director in games is that I just want them to leave me and my art teams alone so we can make cool art. There is *no problem to be solved here*”.

I don’t think the Art director is looking at this from a business angle. The problem being solved is to reduce the high cost #WhiteCollar workforce and still make a profit.

This has been happening since 2022 when #ChristopherHohn decided SE/SWE cost to much for #Alphabet (#google) and all the SW companies followed.

Why?

Later that year #OpenAI released #ChatGPT.

Forbes · Billionaire Hedge Fund Investor Urges Alphabet To Cut Costs: ‘No Justification’ For Salaries That Are ‘Too High’By Jonathan Ponciano

Hello everyone 👋🕶️

I’ve been using the Meta Ray-Ban glasses for a while now, and I recently got the Meta x Coperni limited edition, which inspired me to make a video highlighting some of the features available with these glasses.

🎥 Full video: youtu.be/DuaNJnkwOg4

📌 This is what I cover in this video:
- Unboxing the Meta x Coperni limited edition
- Specifications
- Meta View app setup
- Capturing videos and images using Meta AI
- Exploring Meta AI features (code explanations, having the AI read a book, and translating text)
- Live translation features
- Playing music, audiobooks, and identifying songs
- Comparing Meta x Coperni vs Meta Transition Lenses

💡 Let me know if you have any specific questions about the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

Yes, it is true! 😏

Terence Eden on the oddly narrow definition of family

I was recently browsing some blogs and came upon Terence Eden’s Blog and a post titled Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Families. I have no doubt that much of the oddly limited definition of family comes from oddly narrow ideas. I think some of it comes from not thinking about the users who use your system.

For example, I’ve seen family tickets which cover two adults and two children. That’d be no good for us growing up. I had three siblings; two of us would be left out under this limited definition.

The thing about people is that we rarely fit into the neatly defined boxes that executives and marketing agencies try to put us in.

The same limitation applies to names. I have a friend who had to invent a surname to make life easier because, without one of those, a lot of computer systems got very confused.

Programmers encounter similar limits for email validation, dates, time zones, leap years, and non-standard addresses. I think this is because programmers have yet to encounter all the many edge cases that make good data validation a truly horrible problem to solve well.

But, yeah, they also misunderstand what makes a family. We need should change the general awareness of what a family is. Starting with how many adults and minors make up any given family unit.

Terence Eden’s Blog · Falsehoods Programmers Believe About FamiliesI've written before about Solipsist design - those services which have been designed to work only for a very specific type of family. I was taking a look at Google's "Family" proposition - which allows users to share their purchases with other family members. What I found didn't impress me.
