Press F11 then refresh. Reminds of screensavers I wrote in the 90s/early 2000s. Very nice.

It sounds like an expensive drug habit to have. To start with, imagine the withdrawal symptoms.

There's one problem I have with it. This afternoon it triggered a migraine.

I just came back just now, just in case it was a co-incidence, and yep, it was not a co-incidence.

"tea-party style paranoid right-wing anti big evil government organization". ...is hardly nuanced parlance.

> It's just something that needs to be thought through.

Your statement is what I mean. "Thinking things through" should be done during design. Once you have built system, its much harder to compensate for design flaws.

Programming is not designing. Designing is not programming. Fixing bugs is not designing.

You have to design into the UI system a means for it to compensate for changes in user behavior. You don't want a system that takes many uses to train. At the same time you don't want a system that is trained by a single use. For me this is the crux of the problem.

The happy medium that automatically detects deviations from a user's 'normal' behavior _and_ takes the correct action is very hard to design, as it involves AI fuzzy logic.

I disagree that this would be a bug. It's a design flaw that cannot be corrected by fixing bugs.

It's analogous to security flaws. If there is a flaw in the design, no amount of bug fixing will make the system secure, unless that 'bug fixing' changes the design.

One thing that mustn't be over-looked with interfaces that 'learn about your behavior' is they can lock into a 'local maxima' and can be difficult to retrain without resetting to factory defaults. - If your lifestyle changes, can the interface keep up?

That sounds like they would be proving a negative, which is impossible to do.

It was fun, but sometimes _really_ hard to determine if I was actually participating in the game or just spectating!

That won't stop them from trying. I hope there's a nearby friendly embassy. 8)

I hope he's changed his password. In one of the vids it's fairly easy to workout what he was typing to login.

The same could be said about your comment. Touché.
