Author here: Yeah, for now that's indeed the case. I don't think things will substantially change with the improvements you mention. I'm genuinely interested in knowing which, in your opinion, would no longer be valid, though

That's sadly true. But it's also a race to the bottom.

Technical writing is one of those jobs where it's tempting to think that AI will indeed take humans' jobs. But only a company that has gone bananas would do that. All it takes is understanding that the deliverable is not the job

I agree with you, but, to be honest, I'm not too worried about logical phallacies in my post because I'm not trying to convince anyone, nor trying to justify myself. Mine was but a metonymy: by having kids, I'm bringing new s

Cultural anthropology might have an answer there. I guess that some cultures and traditions view not having kids as selfish because there's a cultural push for preserving society (kids will become workers, help parents, pay taxes, figh

Life with kids has always been problematic.

There's nothing rational in having kids, as in many other things we do as human beings. I've no arguments to refuse books like David Benatar's Better Never to Have Been. Actually, I agree with most of his theses. The only rat

I've three kids. It's wonderful, it's exhausting, and it's often terrifying. Being a parent is a painful experience, but so is living life. Would my life be easier and less painful without them? Yes. Would my life be bet

Oh well. Freudian psychology hasn't been considered scientifically sound for decades now, so I guess you're right. Not sure if you were implying that modern psychology also sustains itself on Freudian theories; that would be so wr

It's a classic joke / trope in methodology classes: Psychology describes the mind of second year undergrads. :-) It's a serious problem depending on the subject: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles&

We can't experiment with humans, so social sciences will always have to deal with low quality, statistically noisy results.

That psychology has some serious problems as a science is not news. As the author says, there's lots of cargo cult science in it, and the publish or perish system doesn't help in the quest of raising quality of research. On the ot

Yes, though it'd be perhaps more accurate to say it expanded upon the theme, as Wikipedia says.

What I find interesting here is how the effect of using lowercase would add up and reduce carbon production significantly. It reminds me of Gerry McGovern's articles on the use of images and the environmental impact that that has. ht

Apple's A/UX had Commando, a graphical assistant for assembling Unix command-line incantations. I'm baffled that this hasn't been redone.

Would you do the same with, say, the UI? Or an API?

Experimental docs withdrawal? That sounds a bit too extreme and harmful for any business. Unless you had a different technique in mind.

by remoquete 3y ago
As the post says, docs are part of any software product. This cannot be emphasized enough. A technical product without documentation or effective UX writing is going to generate so much dissatisfaction and support burden you'll conside

I've a limited understanding of the topic, but would this allow to run an LLM in a mobile phone in offline mode? If that's feasible, it'd pave the way to lots of interesting applications, such as AI-assisted content moderatio

As a UX writer, the ability of providing feedback or editing UI text before a disastrous piece of Loren Ipsum goes to production is very, very valuable. What's the feedback you think is silly here?
