    @davidmead It looks like you're sending https for the target but your site links to my http URL. I should probably fix this to accept it regardless of the mismatch, but that's the reason.

  • Avoiding The Uncanny Valley of User Interface (blog.codinghorror.com)
    one of the great strengths of web applications is that they aren't bound by the crusty old conventions of desktop applications. They're free to do things differently -- and hopefully better. Web applications should play to their strengths, instead of attempting to clone desktop applications.

  • Who Killed the Desktop Application? (blog.codinghorror.com)
    All the innovation in user interface seems to be taking place on the web, and desktop applications just aren't keeping up.

    @davidmead Great work! It sounds like you should send a pull request for your changes to the Known plugin! I bet many others would benefit from the changes too! #indieweb

    Is it just me or is the author using the term "Uncanny Valley" completely wrong? Ignoring the silly Pixar story, I still don't understand how voice recognition (or more accurately, speech recognition) is currently in the uncanny valley.

    You know when your GPS says "recalculating" in a condescending voice? That's the uncanny valley of text-to-speech.

  • I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced “Wesley-Ann” (thebloggess.com)
    and she keeps saying “Recalculating” in this really judgey, condescending way

    @oscargodson @aaronpk That’s demonstrably false and I move to strike.
    Aaron Parecki
    @holman @oscargodson I haven't actually heard of the term being used like that. I've only heard it in this context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

    @aaronpk I don’t think that’s true.
    Aaron Parecki
    @holman It's from a 1970 paper by a Japanese roboticist http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/an-uncanny-mind-masahiro-mori-on-the-uncanny-valley http://web.archive.org/web/20110313073609/http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20110310jk.html

    @aaronpk It was initially disclosed in Ed Catmull’s “Creativity, Inc.”
    Aaron Parecki
    @holman but the concept of the uncanny valley is way older than that

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
