The Benefits and Dangers of #DecisionMmaking by Algorithm https://conversableeconomist.com/2025/03/27/the-benefits-and-dangers-of-decision-making-by-algorithm/
"Even if the #algorithm does a better job than most humans, some humans will do better than the algorithm.
The gain from using algorithms in many contexts is relatively small in percentage terms, although a small percentage gain applied to a large number of people can certainly be meaningful.
People are more unforgiving of algorithmic error than of human error.
Greater complexity will limit the benefit of an algorithm.
Algorithms are not good, and perhaps cannot be good, at what are sometimes called path-dependent events"

Buying green is good sometimes. Not buying at all is better most of the time.
Making Shorts out of long YT videos seems only to be possible on a mobile (?!). Here's my first attempt. The Availability Heuristic explained in simple terms.

One-good-thing check
If I critique someone's work, can I find one positive thing about them?
Else I might be in a projection or distorted-reality mode
Heuristic (Ecogeographic rules 🌍)
A heuristic 'method of discovery', or heuristic technique is any approach to problem solving that employs a pragmatic method that is not fully optimized, perfected, or rationalized, but is nevertheless "good enough" as an approximation or attribute substitution. Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic m...

For a separation of responsibilities to make sense, we must have clear benefits that outweigh the loss in ownership, collaboration and speed! Otherwise we end up with a slower delivery chain and lots of bugs and process problems and no benefit to overcome the loss!

Are #healthy #meals also more #sustainable? 🥦👀
With Gudrun Sproesser & Ulrike Arens-Azevêdo, we examined the #actual and #perceived #healthiness and #sustainability of meals to investigate the “healthy = sustainable” #heuristic

a good #heuristic to understand whether a concept is part of your #domain or just a technical one is asking yourself if that concept would still exist if you implemented the same business without computers and #software
My most used #heuristic in decision-making is: make the damn decision reversible. (Or changeable In the case of #coding or software design).
So Occam's razor of software development or #engineering is to choose the more changeable one.
Fast then Slow: Choice Revisions Drive a Decline in the Attraction Effect https://agaudeul.wordpress.com/2023/08/29/fast-then-slow-choice-revisions-drive-a-decline-in-the-attraction-effect/ #AsymmetricDominance, #AttractionEffect, #ChoiceProcess, #ContextEffect, #Heuristic, #InducedPreferences, #Rationality, #TimeConstraint
Anyway, the principle is a #heuristic that suggests one answer "yea, probably" to sincere questions like:
- If no pests or weeds are observed among an otherwise immaculate crop yield, are farmers over-utilizing pesticides and other agrochemicals?
- If the government is able to bankroll every project within a certain department, is that department over-funded?
- If a society has a 0% divorce rate, is the social incentive to stay married so strong that many people remain in very bad marriages?

“The word “#heuristic” was invoked all through the summer of 1956. Instead of trying to analyze the brain to develop #machine_intelligence, some participants focused on the operational steps needed to solve a given problem.”
Asking yourself "How quickly can I bust my own idea, rather than protecting it as a pet idea?" is a brilliant #heuristic to live with intellectual humility and explore a path to truly great insights.
And while I disagree that we'll get there anywhere close to 2030, I am glad he pivoted away from the #VR stuff towards this, and actively avoids the #groupthink that seems to be quite common there.
Marijn's episode is out! He brought up his heuristic "Do NOT rewrite from scratch if it is in production". We took a few loops, from code and software architecture, to business strategy and execution!

How is your Sunday? ☀️ This week we will have Marijn as our guest. Do you want to bet on the heuristic?
Hey there #gamedev and #UserResearch folks.
Do you know if there exist any website or ressource showing UX #CastStudies and/or #Heuristic evaluations of games ? I don't think I've seen any and it would be a great thing to show examples to people willing to have a better understanding of how they work
Extreme climate phenomena in Italy (source: #Legambiente, top Italian environmental NGO, published in La Stampa newspaper).
This exponential change takes place in a context of the #anchoring #heuristic of #behavioraleconomics: people's perceptions of risk and associated decisions and behaviors are based on historic experiences that are no longer valid.
Some decisions are not easy to quickly undo (e.g. move buildings). Intensive communications is required for the others.
