The image of him in the home shop with the radio playing and people still bringing him supposedly unfixable things is wonderful

There is something pleasantly backwards about a school teaching people to repair objects that were designed to last, while so much of the rest of the economy is optimized around replacement

If people follow your direction, it is usually because the argument made sense, the trust was already there or you did the unglamorous work of aligning everyone beforehand

In a way management should be treated more like a role change than a one-way promotion

A lot of "rapid adoption" in software is really the result of unusually cheap distribution and feedback loops

I think part of the difference is that in software we can often try the new thing immediately and see whether it helps. In biology, "this is real" and "this is important" are much harder to establish because the system is noisy, the experiments are slow and the implications may not be obvious until other pieces of the puzzle show up

Science is incredibly good at producing descriptions that are shareable between observers, but subjective experience is not obviously shareable in that same way

The point isn't that a human could literally sample bat experience. It's that if bat experience exists, it is tied to a form of embodiment and perception that we can describe externally but not fully inhabit subjectively

A bat might not have a "personal point of view" in the human sense, but that doesn't mean there is no point of view at all

Soo an outside description of a system, no matter how complete, does not obviously give us the inside of the experience...

But for actual use, especially screens and reading, the tradeoff can be pretty bad

What struck me here is how much "good UI" changes with age

For that use case I'd probably optimize less for "best keyboard" and more for "least annoying thing to pack and set up"
