Pafko at the Wall
“Sometime in late 1991,” Don DeLillo told a Paris Review interviewer in 1993, “I started writing something new and didn’t know what it would be—a novel, a short story, a long story. It was simply a piece of writing, and it gave me more pleasure than any other writing I’ve done.” The result was the novella “Pafko at the Wall,” first published as a Folio in the October 1992 issue of Harper’s Magazine, making up a third of the issue’s length. “Wherein the Giants clinch the pennant, Bruegel descends, a bomb explodes, Sinatra sulks, and a Harlem boy plays his own game,” rea...

For human-in-the-loop systems, he discussed that they integrate humans actively into control systems, rather than just having humans provide input. He noted that this approach was pioneered by NASA and is now also important in AI.

16. Evaluation Analysis
We provided an overview of evaluation and analysis in user experience design. He explained that evaluation involves scientifically testing hypotheses about whether designs meet user needs. There are different types of variables involved like stimuli, responses, and participant demographics. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used, like hypothesis testing and grounded theory. Descriptive statistics describe sample data, while inferential statistics make inferences about populations. Due to typical sample sizes in UX, non-parametric statistical tests are generally more appropriate than probabilistic ones. Simon emphasized understanding these concepts at a high level without worrying too much about statistical details. Text Transcript: https...

We discuss how real-world user experience work is often messy, imperfect, and constrained compared to the ideal scenarios described in textbooks. He outlines several common constraints like tight deadlines, inadequate funding, and stakeholders who just want to check boxes rather than make meaningful changes based on feedback. However, there are still things UX practitioners can do even with constraints, like informal discussions or small lab studies to gather initial feedback and ideas. The key is managing expectations that real work will not be perfect and setting realistic goals based on available time and resources. Text Transcript: https://web.cs.manchester...
