3:22 Many people get this wrong. There are 2 content-agnostic algorithms for iterating randomly: - shuffle: randomly-permute a list, then start iterating from the beginning. - pick: randomly selects the next item. The sequence at 3:23 can *NEVER* be the result of a shuffle, unless it's the only item in the playlist, and you force the app to continue "shuffling" after the playlist is exhausted. Rand-Pick doesn't care if it repeats a previous item or even the current item itself, so either sequence is possible under rand-pick. Spotify and other apps use a non-agnostic form of shuffling, which is what makes them feel more unique

[@justuraveragecunt9005]

Then why is Spotify's shuffle so disgusting. I litterally have 700 songs in my playlist that i listen to almost every single day. I have thousands of hours on Spotify but i swear to God it plays the same songs i always hear. I was told Spotify stores memory of your most listened to songs and "picks" thru that ?

[@SunflowerFlowerEmpire]

With the Google maps example. It's a matter of of fact that 99% of people who unbox their brand new old gadgets do not follow the tips and tutorials. When you keep these tips and tutorials on in the background. They literally teach you how to use every "hidden feature for each app and use case scenario" like "one handed use cases". That's why we have tons of utubers making bank with videos such as: "here are 1000 things you didn't know about your brand new old devices videos" etc etc.

[@Rudxain]

It's a shame anyone who knows even just 1 little unique thing about a device is labeled as a "power user" or "nerd". People are willing to pay $1k for something, only to blatantly ignore 50% of its features. Being aware of the features is enough, there's no need to use them, but people are too lazy to learn even the simplest things

[@tubester358]

​​​@@Rudxain people don't generally have a choice between buying a device that just does what they want to do on it and buying one that also does a million other things and has hidden tricks so naturally they'll just learn enough to achieve their basic goals, in the end a common enough user error is a design error and that's how we even got to this point of UI/UX design, otherwise we could just stick to archaic apps and huge manuals. Also guided learning just when you need it is far more effective than learning all the actions first when you've barely started using the product. I think the video game trend of having random tips appear between screens (in loading screens) is good for any app with many button inputs, but it's very uncommon for some reason, even hovering over buttons to get a pop-up stating what they do is rare.

[@Rudxain]

@@tubester358 > "don't generally have a choice" I know, I'm one of them! My intention isn't that people should always learn about the full potential of their devices. I'm complaining about people installing duplicate features because they didn't RTFM. For example, installing a QR scanner when the system already has one 🤦. > "guided learning" I can relate. When I switched from VScode to Helix, I was overwhelmed by the key-binds and modes, so I only learned "intermediate-level" features. If I ever need an "advanced feature" I just read the docs/wiki or Google my use-case. > "hovering over buttons" I made a to-do app with accessibility in mind, so I made extensive use of the HTML `title` attribute!

Some PS's: - Our brains are so hard wired to recognize patterns that truly mathematically random patterns stop _appearing_ random to us. I.e. if you show people two images with a collection of dots, and you ask them which one is more random, most will choose the one where the dots are more evenly spread out. Even though true randomness leads to the opposite and you'd expect some dots to be clustered closer together. Same happens with a random shuffle of music tracks and why _smart shuffle_ is using many more algorithms to select songs than a simple random number generation. - The double tap to zoom gesture also works in Apple Maps. - The keys in iOS keyboards (IDK about Android, but probably there as well) have the same _physical_ size on the display but aren't the same size in software. Since some keys, for example the E or A keys, are pressed much more frequently than others, software will take these statistics into account and also register those keys more likely if you tap in between them or even "mis-tap". It is trained on huge datasets specific to language and your previous inputs to guess what word you're most likely typing and tries to prevent typos before they even happen. If you make all keys the exact size in software as they are shown to you, you'll make many *many* more typos.

I'm sorry, but text looks so much worse on a mac, it took me a lot to get used to it and every time I use windows I am amazed by how sharp the text looks! On macOS it's just blurry, I find it fatiguing not being able to focus on it. They moved away from subpixel rendering when they introduced "more space" resolutions, as it just applies a larger resolution downsampling on a smaller one, otherwise the text would have weird colored borders

Unlike what is stated in the video, they both use anti-aliasing. Mac does indeed use a full pixels. Windows too, but goes a step further by breaking up each pixel into its RGB components which gives it 3x the resolution on one of the axises. I believe it's still possible to switch it off, especially on retina displays where the pixels are small enough, but on a low res monitor below 300dpi, Microsoft's solution is actually quite clever and fascinating that aspect of it wasn't the focus of this video.

[@karellen00]

@@patrikfagard6525 Exactly, Windows (and probably Linux too) use the so called "subpixel rendering", that gives you 3 times the resolution in the anti alias.

Regarding the sharp rectangular corners of programs: I actually don't associate that with "hostile emotions", I feel like those programs mean business, they were created to get work done and _fast_. A non-rounded UX style often goes hand in hand with a compact layout with less pagination and more information dense interfaces, which I'm a sucker for. I really want the tools I use daily to be efficient and powerful, not some rounded, rubbery toys, where a single setting change would take me 7 clicks and 30s on fancy transition animations.

[@413X1NKP]

About text navigation and pressing arrow up/down: Reality is that from programming standpoint, ALL of text are just arrays of characters. So, a word "Hello" is just an array of letters "H", "e", "l", "l", and "o" in an array, they are placed under the order of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. (so character "H" is 0, character "e" is 1, etc). if you have multiple lines of text, these lines are also just multiple arrays of characters. So in other words - every paragraph of text is just a big list of characters. You can get the position of where your cursor (the position where you insert a new character at) is located within the array of characters. For example, let's say we have the two lines of text: ``` I did not hit her! I did not. Oh hi Mark! ``` let's say our cursor is located right before the capital "M" in the word "Mark" on the second line. This means our cursor position is 5 (counting spaces, those are also characters). Then, if a user presses arrow key we could theoretically just move the cursor to the 5th character on the previous line (we can determine the end of a line by a break symbol that isn't visible for end-users)... But reality isn't like this too! If we do exactly that we should end up right before the lowercase "n" in the word "not", but we somehow end up right after it?. It's actually a lot more complicated than that, but to be entirely honest it's not really font dependent either! This stuff is interesting, i recommend reading about it :)

15:32 Finally, text without the blue and orange stuff around it

[@existenceispain_geekthesiren]

That blue and orange stuff is there to essentially triple the resolution of your screen in one direction when it comes to text rendering! Every pixel is made of three differently-colored bars (usually. some screen have different layouts, but you'll generally see it as vertical bars). If you were to render a shade of grey, you would have to use all three bars. However, you COULD just darken the bars that would be contained within the letter, and keep the remaining ones lit up. That does mean the edges usually aren't grey, but it serves to make it crisper and more legible, due to the increase in resolution.

[@existenceispain_geekthesiren]

why MS paint keeps the orange and blue edges even though the image is being rendered as pixels and not as paths, I have no clue. probably just reused the text renderer windows uses by default and didn't bother to change it.

10:04 I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as "complex commands we have to remember", nowadays (since decades ago) is just tab-key, `--help`, and `man`. Copypastas aside, CLI apps still have their use. I believe GUIs and TUIs have different purposes according to their pros and cons. A camera app must be GUI, but a calculator works better as a CLI/TUI, just to give an example

[@matj12]

I like inputting to a calculator with a keyboard, but TUI is often insufficient. If the calculator is properly graphical, it can do things unavailable with TUI, like symbolic maths with 2D layout. Most computer algebra systems have that, but I like how it is in Mathematica the most because it formats also input, not just output, so I could program there using 2D math notation. Notice that I distinguish TUI and CLI; CLI is an interface where the user gives commands by writing them as text; TUI is an interface where all is presented as plain text. So I would like that there would be widely used CLI terminals able to show graphics or formatted text, like how DomTerm can render HTML. I think that it would make CLI much more user friendly.

[@Rudxain]

@@matj12 I agree! Graphing calculators also work better as GUI. TUI wouldn't be enough for that, even with Unicode "fine detail" chars

[@loodwich]

Batteries are one of the most important components of our tech and the most understated. Yes, we say the most important is the CPU or the GPU... those are important and have a lot of development, but those don't work without electrical current... so are useless. Li-ion is the battery of our tech... but they have 2 problems: 1) They heat when you are using them, and they could burn themselves when you are using your tech (so all our tech products have circuits to prevent that) 2) Have a limited lifespan, around 500 cycles, which seems a lot. But our cell phones use all the change in a day, so if the phone is at 40% or 20%, we charge at night to have a full charge in the morning. So if our phones use all the charge every day, 500 cycles will be over in 2 years. So in 2 years, you will change your battery or your cellphone. I have enough knowledge of batteries to know how they take voltage and temperature measurements; if I did that every day, I would know how they are; that takes time, dedication, and a Ph.D. But the computational power of our cell phones is higher than our computers of 20 years ago... So on the iPhones ( I don't know other companies), Apple spends a lot of information on the actual usage of your battery, the temperature, the brand, and the data of thousands of users to correct the battery charge in your screen... It is not a guess; it is an algorithm with a lot of variables to give only 2 numbers (the charge and the number of cycles of your battery) to give you the right to decide: a) I will still be with my phone b) I will change the battery c) I will change the phone... but not only that, thousands of users give a lot of data, so the iPhones also know the Amperage that they use every moment and connect or deactivate circuits to increase the life of your battery. But the primordial function of those that don't communicate changes is the usefulness of your cellphone to you. So after years of usage of it if you think that your iPhone was a good value, you will buy another one of the same brand. Android phones use open software, so if you want to use that feature, you will share it with all the companies, and they improve its value for the money you spend developing that system. This is an advantage for the user but not for the company. Also, if you don't want to include those sensors, that feature is no longer appropriate for you, so big companies like Samsung pay for personalized Android versions.

[@DoomFinger511]

500 cycles doesn't seem correct for a battery. I've had my s20 ultra for 5 years now and have definitely charged it over 500 times.

[@sandysan4191]

​@@DoomFinger511Yeah I think it's 1000 cycles. Also different charge states, temperature, discharge rate contribute differently to the cycle. Like 30-50% is a lower cycle than 80-100% at x°c and so on

[@DoomFinger511]

@@sandysan4191 I did a little research, when they say 500 or 1000 cycles it means from 0%-100% or vice-versa. Since people rarely charge their phone from 0% (and most phones tell you it's at 0% when it's really around 5%) it actually take several charges before it's consider 1 cycle.

[@KILOPOWER]

​It's an average, basically a lot of batteries fail early on, and it drives the average way down. If it has already survived 200 cycles, it will probably survive hundreds more

The shuffle is true , I always listen on pc nowdays so it's easier. Rejecting convinience for sake of control People like me will suffer and return back when needed but same for movies and games and other stuff.

Nobody wants you to buy movies or games in CD , and worse nowday you only get the download authorization , not the CD ! or online activation.. Lots of nice videos from you btw, your exactly the channel I wanna watch because i'm also obscess over design and human psych behind those design. It's the little things..

These videos didn't 360 my life but lots of helpful stuff. I'm always Grey when it comes to how good I handle things. I can be a addict or basically the wrong user of something and yet learn or soon grow out of it. Addiction is hard to quit but I'm able to quit quickly but re-addict if I get bored again.

[@SianaGearz]

An unloaded battery (low consumed current) has a falling voltage with decreasing state of charge. It bottoms out at somewhere between 3.0 and 3.3V depending on chemistry and tops out at somewhere between 4.2 and 4.4V depending on planned endurance and chemistry. Now obviously the consumed current varies continuously, and you can't just have the battery percentage jumping around rather than decreasing smoothly, so there is some load correction and filtering going on. I remember Blender version 2.0 around 23 years ago. You had to print out the keyboard cheat sheet and slowly learn it, because most of the functionality was not available except by keyboard :D But once you did it was like having a direct connection from your brain into 3D, it was amazing!

[@ginsederp]

The battery percentage is a guess. But it is a much better guess if your phone has had the chance to measure a charge across the full capacity of the battery (1%-100%) within a reasonably short amount of time (~1 month) to account for seasonality changes and battery wear. With a full charge from empty, your phone can do a 1-1 match from voltage to energy input at every percentage. At least at the reference temperate (of your home usually)...
