Ah the fallacy of 'universal accessibility'

Not everything done in the name of accesility makes it accessible to all, nor does accessibility have a necessary correlation with 'good design'.

That's not to say we should't strive for both and require accesible solutions, but let's not pretend putting lightswitches 40" from the floor or those bumpy concrete pads in grocery store parking lots are better for everyone.

As a developer you should be embarassed if your site isn't accessible to screen readers, its not exactly hard to add some aria roles and alt tags.

The reason JAWS and Voiceover are to widely used is not because no one else has tried.

I'd reckon 90% of 'accessiblity' software was written by a sighted or hearing dev that thought they had an idea that would be 'helpful'.

Copyright fair use rules are tools designed to govern how humans use protected works in dervied works. AI is not human use, therefore the rules are only coincidentally correct for AI use where it even is.

You should view this page in Microsoft Edge for the best experience! \s

Serves them right.

Who would have predicted turning customer support over to AI with no human interv

They thought "Well, I guess this makes me one of those people for whom "Not talking about politics with Friends" becomes a core tenent to my personal philosophy."

If this is Elon post Ketamine, what drug can we give him to put him back in a negative frame of mind?

Even Old New York used to be call New Amsterdam..

How does it feel, OpenAI?

I mean, I think there is a signifigant portion of video game players that could have told you Starfield and RedFall would underwhelm.. Bethesda players clearly want, nay are begging for more Elder Scrolls and Fallout main line games.

I know Bethesda wanted a new IP, but literally their audience was begging them to make the stuff they want to play faster and it seems like they ignored it, at their peril.

Agree on everything else, just salty at Bethesda for dropping the ball. I'd also add Valve to the list somewhere as another weird example because they make far too much money distributing games to have as strong an appetite for making them despite a pretty good track record (The hardware... maybe another story)

Won't somebody think of the poor doctors?

worth noting that without cell service, GPS can reliably give you time, lat, long and elevation. So if previously you had no actual map downloaded, or an old or out of date map, you'd just get a pretty accurate dot on an inaccurate map, or just raw coordinates.

this is a controversial take, but IMHO, the immutable data structures make Clojurescript (+ Reagent) a very, very nice way to build SPAs.

We've tried nothing and are all out of ideas!

I mean, except if they are clearly copying works they don't have copyright to, they are violating the law and effectively taking some amount of money out of the pocket of authors and rights holders. You can try and demand people use more "neutral" language to disucss copyright violations, but good luck.

I hope you never know the misfortune of having assets devalued by people that feel they don't need to operate within the boundaries of the rules.

archivists hate robots.. doesnt matter if the error rate or risk is lower than with human handling, many refuse to believe it.

When I worked at the George Eastman Museum many moons ago, the staff entrance had a distinct vinegar-like odor that I believe was from vinegar syndrome isolation storage for the film collection at some point in its history before the archive building was made in '89. That place has an AMAZING collection.

some people just don't want to throw out the baby with the caste-water.

Yeah I mean we said sorry, what more do those people want? \s

i mean I guess Spez started it by trying to monetize the API, unless you meant who started the idea of a blackout as a reaction to that, in which case Im not sure.

Imagine how much faster we'll be able to generate Fake News!

The first amendment was not intended to limit any entity other than the government. There is no provisions requiring or even suggesting private entities must also abide by the First Amendment. I am unconvinced enabling people that wish to damage our Democracy by weaponizing the first amentment is somehow better for Democracy, or even more Democratic.

I sort of hate GraphQL. Multi-mutation syntax sucks, no select-all.. do not like.

GPL code is open source but what you do with it also needs to be open source as a condition of its use. Will CoPilot inform developers if suddenly the code suggested requires them to re-license their software?

Some trivia: CC0 is a public domain declaration.. at least in the US. There is no process by which an author can make their works public domain, CC0 is just a (weak) promise that the copyright holder will treat the work as if it were public domain.

Based on this comment, you may not understand what the GPL's purpose actually is, because it is NOT simply for the promoting sharing and remixing. The GPL is for ensuring that code, and its derivatives, are all able to be shared and remixed in perpetuity. the biggest (imo) difference between GPL and MIT/BSD licenses is that you CAN NOT use GPL'd code in a non-GPL* codebase. (*or GPL-compatible license)
