it used to baffle me that our education systems and research into learning, brain development, etc did not talk to one another at all. now I know it's by design. educated masses are not wanted

The idea of federal officials going to states to help them upgrade their tech capacities is a novel way of thinking about federalism. The USDS team brought principles of human centered design. They also made sure the code the systems ran on reflected the policy goals they were trying to achieve.
The code is the policy: We’d walk through a state’s automatic renewal rules as they were actually encoded in the software and use data to find where enrollees were falling out unnecessarily. Many states had years of policy miscommunications and vendor mistakes baked into their systems and never had the capacity to take a second look. We hosted marathon meetings that brought together everyone from state policy directors to back office IT staff which revealed dozens of opportunities to make improvements. “No, you should not be multiplying quarterly income by 12 to calculate annual income.” “Yes, you can use SNAP data.” “No, you should not deny children because their parents are ineligible.”

This is why I've always hated "what's the best dice mechanic?" discourse. Best for what? Design isn't collecting your favorite tables into a PDF— it's the process of building systems that, when put in motion, lead players to specific experiences that arise pseudo-magically from their own actions.
rosscowman.bsky.social Ross Cowman @rosscowman.bsky.social · 3d
Game mechanics aren't that special.

There is nothing inherently better about rolling 2d6 vs a d12, rolling over or under a stat for a skill check, or using tokens.

The special part is when you, the designer, noticing how a particular mechanic lets you share a part of the human experience

By learning from other countries and adopting international best practices, California High Speed Rail was able to cut its costs by $14 billion and cut 70% of tunnels.

This is a big lesson for transit projects both in NY & around the US: start by learning from other countries.

Ian Choudri: Yes. When I came on board, like we looked at six or seven different areas of improvements and one of that was engineering of how we are building it comparable to the European and Japanese systems. And came to realize that as engineers, all the folks that were in the team being very conservative. They were going, "Let’s build it not that steep." And so we are going to do it as flat as we can. While that’s fun if you are in the desert, if you are going through Tehachapi or Pacheco Pass, you quickly realize you can't stay flat. So the decision was made to make it a little higher, because Europe is doing it, Japan has been doing it. Let’s not reinvent. That eliminated about 70 percent of the tunnels that we had to do. And that’s billions of dollars. Ian Choudri: I don’t blame anyone. These were not intentional mistakes. This was a lack of checking because we don’t have another high speed rail in this country. So we were using highway bridges or freight rail design concepts, which is all we know. And so we fixed it. It took us four months to realize that this is a big mistake and improve the cost structure. When we put our plan out, we said we saved $14 billion by optimizing cost by changing design standards and criteria, bringing them up to par with the European and the Japanese.

A billionaire tax would need to focus on a legal design to catch up with unrealized gains.

My expertise is in aerospace systems engineering so I am not the right person to do this, but someone reading this may be.

In most design you have a very small circle of what the product is expected to do. With LLMs you have a very wide circle that you try to limit as best as you can. Understanding this will tell you why it is risky to implement into systems that need precise circles.

Last week, my Foundations of Human-Computer Interaction class covered an older paper about “social translucence” where they explain how the design of online systems shapes the norms & behaviors w/in those systems. But the framework they create can be applied more broadly, eg to our political moment.

This role combines deep policy knowledge and expertise with operational rigor and technical fluency. This role is scoped as a 1 year contract with possibility of extension. Key Responsibilities Policy Development & Governance • Translate high-level principles into clear, enforceable rules for moderators and users. • Draft, refine, and maintain Bluesky's Community Guidelines and detailed policy documentation for each area of enforcement. • Monitor emerging edge cases and lead deliberation on complex or precedent-setting moderation decisions. Brief leadership when on high profile decisions. • Maintain an internal policy library and wiki that documents rationales, enforcement criteria, and escalation paths.

I'll admit, this comment flares up my profound insecurity about my difficulties playing video games

but it also flares up the "oh, fuck off" reflex because video games and board games have transparently sharp differences as forms, as do game-playing and game-design as skills
YouTube comment from xNealus: I always wondered why Amabel has a game designer has very little idea how to play actual videogames. How do you do game design, then? Even the board games are similar to videogames in terms of making rational decisions and understanding the mechanics What is you judgement's worth if you cannot engage with game systems designed by someone else?

Would you like to read the guidance from the UK government's own National Cyber Security Centre on the value of VPNs?

www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/d...
Additional advantages of VPNs 1 Enabling legacy systems to work remotely, Even when not design for such scenarios. For example, SMB file servers 2 Providing a second layer of defence against misconfigured, unpatched, or poorly designed internal services For example, intranet websites that aren’t well maintained, or use legacy cryptography 3 Protecting internal network servers from external, unauthenticated attackers, By limiting network access to authenticated devices. For example, file stores or databases 4 Protecting user devices from network attacks By preventing direct connections to and from the local network. For example, ARP spoofing attacks, or attacking open network interfaces on the mobile device 5 Forcing traffic between a device and external services through internal, protective monitoring tools This guards against a variety of threats. For example, inspecting web content for malicious code 6 Enabling business monitoring and/or filtering of users’ network traffic For legal reasons, discipline, and duty of care. For example, blocking access to illegal websites
