Twenty-Eight year old piece on anthropology at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center and the influence of Dr. Lucy Suchman on interface design. Very interesting historical piece on what was then recent history that readers can connect to current trends.
The title is woefully dated.

Sharing this new academic conference from the EUSSET mailing list because I think it sounds really cool:
International Conference on Innovation in
Rural Regions (ICIRR), 13-15 September 2026 in Siegen, Germany – https://icirr.wineme.wiwi.uni-siegen.de/Could be something for (parts of) my #HCI and #CSCW research bubble. The submission phase is already done, it's all about registering and attending now! 🙂 It's a first time event, but I know the organizers and it's legit.

Man, the ACM website -- the Association for Computing Machinery's site -- is so confusing with all the usernames and accounts.
I am trying to subscribe to one of their mailing lists and it's asking me for an email address and a password. As an ACM member, I have an @acm.org email; my account also knows about my Macalester email, and my newer St. Olaf email. I have tried all of those, and all the various passwords in my password manager. None work.
If only, somehow, someone who knows something about, say, human-computer interaction, or how to use, uh, computing machinery to run a website with user accounts, mailing list subscriptions, and so on.
(Context: I just want to sign up for the SIGCSE-LAC list -- the special interest group for computer science education's committee for liberal arts colleges. https://computing-in-the-liberal-arts.github.io/. This should not be hard. Grrr.)

Automation bias
Nie wieder werde ich behaupten, dass die E-Mails, die die University of Edinburgh an ihre Alumni verschickt, nutzlos sind. Heute habe ich echt was daraus gelernt: automation bias.
Automation bias is the propensity for humans to favor suggestions from automated decision-making systems and to ignore contradictory information made without automation, even if it is correct.
#LLM-basierte Chatbots bringen also ein doppeltes Bias-Problem mit sich:
- reproduzieren sie bekanntlich den Bias der Trainingsdaten und
- haben ihre Nutzer:innen die Tendenz, #AIslop mehr zu glauben als direkt von Menschen vorgebrachten Vorschlägen.
Vielleicht wäre der deutschsprachige Diskurs über #Automatisierung, #Digitalisierung und »#KI« gescheiter, wenn es diesen Wikipedia-Artikel auch auf deutsch gäbe? Aber wie würde das Lemma auf deutsch heißen?
Die obige Definition geht zurück auf Mary Cummings (2004): "Automation Bias in Intelligent Time Critical Decision Support Systems" in AIAA 1st Intelligent Systems Technical Conference. DOI: 10.2514/6.2004-6313.
Leider ist der Volltext z.Z. nicht kostenlos abrufbar. Auf der Suche danach in @base fand ich ein gleichnamiges Buchkapitel von derselben Autorin aus dem Jahr 2017 – auch ohne Volltext. In BASE kann man sehen, wer es zitiert hat. Da sind interessante Publikationen bei.
Ich schulde euch noch den Text aus dem Alumni-Newsletter, in dem automation bias erwähnt wird: Trust, responsibility and the future of AI and robotics von Helen Hastie, die wenige Jahre vor mir dieselben Fächer studiert hat und jetzt die School of Informatics leitet. Danke, Prof. Hastie!

HCI против классической виртуализации: архитектурный выбор для современного ЦОД
В мире корпоративной ИТ-инфраструктуры уже много лет существует дискуссия. На одном полюсе — проверенная временем классическая трёхуровневая архитектура (серверы, сеть, внешняя СХД). На другом — гиперконвергентная инфраструктура (HCI), которая объединяет все компоненты в единую программно-определяемую систему. Выбор между ними — это не просто вопрос "что новее", а стратегическое решение, влияющее на управляемость, масштабируемость, отказоустойчивость и совокупную стоимость владения .

[BLOG] I have to admit: A product manager told me they were "excited for the security review". Yes, excited.
First, I thought I misheard something. But then I realized: This wasn’t about the review itself, it was about the way that we do this in our team.

I plan to share more insights on research that influences my daily work as a Usable Security Consultant at a large company (>45M customers).
Is this the kind of content you find valuable? Let me know (over here or on my other channels). Your feedback will be much appreciated.

Exciting news! 🤖✨ We just published our new paper on co-designing a modular, low-cost, open-source smart mirror tailored for people living with dementia and their carers! 🧠💙
Instead of adding tech that causes anxiety, we built assistive support directly behind a familiar household item. 🪞🏡
Check out the full thread below to see how we did it! 👇

OutDesign is already available in a somewhat beta version, yes. In fact, you can have a look at the thread @BertrandCaron quoted in his original post to get access.
I would love to know more about this mixed policy, between formats and conservation, if you agree!
It happens that I spend most of my time at the BnF those days. I'm currently wrapping up my Ph.D. dissertation in #HCI about publishing and file formats. If you are on the Mitterand site as well, maybe we could grab coffee?

EDIT-2: I've been made aware of claims, that the video and the "creators" site might be AI generated. Watch at your own discretion, but keep the caveat in mind. Anyway:
This is one of the best talks on user interface design and human computer interaction I've seen in a long time:

#GUCAC negation and its uses.
Negation is proposed metadata for indicating the complement of a term's meaning.
GUCAC forms thoughts from inside to outside. The first four stages of thought formation are Creation, Description, Articulation and Specialization. These stages correspond to the four layers of a glyph. An optional fifth stage is negation which corresponds to unplugging the hub.
Negation comes last because positive logic tends to be less confusing than negative logic. Thus ideas are first constructed of positive thoughts and then revealed to be false and disbelieved as needed.
The hub is the triangle and circle in the center of the glyph as shown in this diagram.
Terminology and Graphic Conventions
The line segments (elements) within a glyph are further classified as radial spokes or circumferential laths in inner or outer layers, and are aligned in eight distinct directions (octants). Within each layer the elements are also grouped on either the right or left side. The central circle (hub, not an element) is positive or true when filled (plugged, the triangular plug is an element) and negative or false when empty (unplugged). These classifications are used to provide a symbolic superstructure which help a viewer to associate the state of the glyph (aspect) with its meaning (term).The hub is always printed. This provides a reference for the placement of the other elements. Without a hub it is difficult to tell if a single spoke is above or below the center and whether it is an inner or outer spoke. The plug within the hub is a triangle that 'points' to the left. This is intended to show the orientation of a glyph (in case it is viewed upside down). The triangle points to the 'beginning' (the left inner spokes) of a glyph.
More, less, major, minor, active and passive (Yang and Yin) are common principals across the mental, social and physical realms. By tying these binary principals to the classifications described above, we hope to associate a glyph's aspect with an engram of an individual's experience and thereby imbue it with meaning.

Не панацея, а инструмент — когда бизнесу стоит переходить на HCI, а когда лучше воздержаться
Когда компания планирует инфраструктуру для виртуализации — например, в рамках создания новой площадки, решения задачи по замене устаревшего железа или по какой-либо другой причине — рано или поздно встает вопрос архитектуры. Что это будет — классическая схема с выделенным хранилищем, конвергентная или гиперконвергентная? Ведь у каждой из них свои сильные сценарии и свои ограничения. В этой статье разберем, из чего складывается реальная экономика гиперконвергенции, какие сценарии она закрывает действительно хорошо, а какие лучше оставить классической схеме. И отдельно расскажем, как с гиперконвергенцией работает VMmanager.

Wrote a little blog post about my attempts at making creative tech, making things because we can, and imagining a future where that is more common, than it consuming us : https://blog.nicoleta.cc/creative-tech-sagamaking-a-programmable-led-skirt/
May or may not include some lower-intermediate Lindy Hop dancing too.
If you work in/with new media, interactive technologies, human-computer interaction, or as a creative technologist, and would like to spare some time for a chat, it would really help me out :)

I think drag-and-drop as a #UX mechanism has a second-class feel. Both in implementation, like it's not designed to be the best way to do anything, and in attitude, like developers and designers don't want to support it.
I posit that tapping buttons is a cognitive drain that has unnecessarily taxed our #attention tremendously.
Alternatives have fallen short, but I believe I can do better.
