Surfing Ability Summit page at 200% with my keyboard (as one does) and came across this weird control.
Turns out it’s a roled-up button that launches Microsoft Immersive reader. Which is crap at 200%, it turns out.
Anyway, use native HTML buttons and let users rely on their browser’s reader mode.

A book / speaker icon overflowing its container with dev tools showing it’s a div with a button role, an icon from a CSS glyph in an I element that has presentation role, and the button has both aria-label and title of “10:15 AM–11:15 AM | BRK010 - Building NeuroInclusive Employee Experiences | Room: McKinley Immersive Reader”.
The new view where the bottom half of the “Immersive Reader” is clipped, the lines of text run out of the viewport to the right with no scrollbar, the Play and Voice Settings buttons overlap one another, and the circle defining the bounds of Voice Settings is itself offset above the icon and mostly over the Play button.

When giving a presentation about my experiences in Cuba, a man who had visited the Island in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s broke down crying explaining how different things used to be. Honestly didn't know how to deal with such a thing during a talk, it was heart felt, honest; someone who refused to describe the situation as cold as I did because they knew what the numbers meant.

Went to the Japandult, a small Japanese fair in Munich („dult“ is an old Bavarian term for fair). It was nice but also expensive. 15€ to get in. They had some cultural shows (rap, flute music, a presentation from a Samurai school) and booths with handcrafts. Lots of anime plushies. Handmade, yes, but also cliche. You could buy some not so common snacks and sweets and they had a food truck with Takoyaki (balls filled with octopus)

Entrance of the Japandult fair in Munich. The glass front of a modern business building sports a large Banner. The logo on it is a cartoon cat with a pretzel on a red circle.
Closeup of the desk of a female calligrapher. She is currently finishing a name written in Kanji. There are pots with colorful powder and sponges on her desk that she used to add a dash of pink and green color to the piece of paper she is writing on.
Top down photo of a small Japanese cake and a spoon. The cake is round and approximately palm-sized. It is bright green due to the Macha flavor and is topped with cream, a piece of chocolate and pieces of dried strawberries. The cake is placed on a tiny cardboard tray held by a person but you only see parts of their hands.

In my futile quest to get more people to make mosquito traps for their yards, I made a visual. Please share with friends and sneak into any presentation you're giving even if it's completely unrelated to mosquitoes. Mosquito Dunks contain Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis ("Bti"), a bacteria that is safe for everything except mosquito larvae, work for approximately 30 days, and are available at most garden centers and hardware stores in North America. Bti-containing powders and liquids are sold worldwide under different trade names. NB: the white lid helps you see mosquito larvae (if present it's time to add another dose of Bti). #mosquitoes #mosquito #ipm

One-shot emergency psychiatric triage across 15 frontier AI chatbots
Veith Weilnhammer, Lennart Luettgau, Christopher Summerfield, Viknesh Sounderajah, Elise Wilkinson, Virginia Corno, Matthew M Nour
arxiv.org/abs/2604.25415 arxiv.org/pdf/2604.25415 arxiv.org/html/2604.25415
arXiv:2604.25415v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: AI chatbots are increasingly used for health advice, but their performance in psychiatric triage remains undercharacterized. Psychiatric triage is particularly challenging because urgency must often be inferred from thoughts, behavior, and context rather than from objective findings.
We evaluated the performance of 15 frontier AI chatbots on psychiatric triage from realistic single-message disclosures using 112 clinical vignettes, each paired with 1 of 4 original benchmark triage labels: A, routine; B, assessment within 1 week; C, assessment within 24 to 48 hours; and D, emergency care now. Vignettes covered 9 psychiatric presentation clusters and 9 focal risk dimensions, organized into 28 presentation-by-risk groups. Each group contributed 4 distinct vignettes, with 1 vignette at each triage level. Each vignette was rendered as a realistic human-authored conversational query, and the AI chatbots were tasked with assigning a triage label from that disclosure.
Emergency under-triage occurred in 23 of 410 level D trials (5.6%), and all under-triaged emergencies were reassigned to level C urgency. Across target models, average accuracy ranged from 42.0% to 71.8%. Accuracy was highest for level D vignettes (94.3%) and lowest for level B vignettes (19.7%). Mean signed ordinal error was positive ( 0.47 triage levels), indicating net over-triage. Dispersion was highest around the middle triage levels. All results were confirmed relative to clinician consensus labels from 50 medical doctors.
When presented with user messages containing sufficient clinical information, frontier AI chatbots thus recognized psychiatric emergencies as requiring urgent medical assessment with near-zero error rates, yet showed marked over-triage for low and intermediate risk presentations.

The whole presentation is worth the click-through:
1. Honestly, the metaphorically mangled goose slides in the post make more sense than a lot of the rest of the presentation — which is •really• saying something.
2. That deck is a magnificent example of why I don't like sharing slides as a means of sharing the content of a talk.
3. If we •do• attempt to infer the content from the presentation's sloptastic slides alone, it’s a remarkable window into the investor thinking that’s driving the AI bubble: “Exponential money is hiding just around the corner! Get in on the ground floor! Buy now! Buy now and rocket to infinity and beyond!!”

Re this post:
Back in 2012, the Minnesota Orchestra musicians went on strike over a semi-secretive plan from the board to remake the orchestra (one of the best in the world) by slashing player salaries, gutting creative direction, and turning them into a sort of pop-lite-classical easy listening machine of some kind — details very fuzzy, rationale even fuzzier.
During the dispute, a slide deck of their shadowy plan leaked. It was somewhat garbled and confusing, and missing all the key details and analysis that everyone was dying for. “What are you hiding??” the public cried, “Show us the full plan!!” “What are you talking about? We did!” “No, not just the presentation! The actual plan!”
A confused period followed during which it became clear that the slide deck •was• the full plan.
This little gaggle of the Brightest Minds of Business moonlighting on a nonprofit board thought that gutting a local institution required so little thought that when people saw the full analysis, they assumed the board must be hiding something.

The "nawagraha kindi" in #Udupi Krishna Matha is one of the more famous windows in #India.
1. Visitors see the idol of Krishna through one of 9 holes in the window.
2. Cameras can see well from a distance through one of the holes.
3. If given enough time, the eyes can get a good view, but visitors usually don't get that much time (only 3-5 secs/visitor).

RE: #Udupi #India yesterday, where I'm most content these days. A welcome breakfast from a local friend, then caught a "yakshagaana" play.
Today saw this presentation of Krishna and had 1-1 with two swamijis. Also met many people who've accepted me as their own. Even picked up some goodies. ☺️😋
Like I said, #content. 🙇‍♂️

Set aside religion, faith,... and take in the #art and #imagination that produced this simple yet elegant #sculpture (centuries ago) and presentation (today).
Picture I received today of Anantapadmanabha (Wishnu reclining, Brahma in the lotus from his navel, consorts by his feet) in Karkala #India.

Narasimha is the fourth incarnation of the #Hindu god Wishnu. For reasons, rage is a key trait of Narasimha, especially early in the incarnation. #trivia
Yesterday (Thursday) was "Narasimha Jayanthi", the birthday of Narasimha. The occasion is observed with pomp in Waisnavite locations across #India.
I of course attended the Narasimha Jayanthi festivities in #Udupi. Of the many people I encountered, two were rather rude and directed some anger at me, which I thought I didn't deserve. Still, I handled one of them right, which is by ignoring them; but I think I responded a wee bit in kind to the second. 😳
Needless to say, those two interactions left a bitter taste in me, but I later consoled myself that maybe it was just that Narasimha cast his shadow on some people that day, what with him having just been born. 😀
PS: Anyway, enjoy this presentation of Udupi Krishna on the special day:

RE: #Udupi #India.
The picture shows a presentation of the idol of Waradharaaja ("king among wish granters") consecrated in Kanchi, #Tamilnadu.
PS: An interesting tidbit about that Kanchi temple 👇
