We literally call them “smee’s” in the doc film world.

This used to work! A few years ago you could search email with keywords and it would find what you are looking for and now it’s mush. It’s depressing.

Once again, the most effective and personal argument I can make for you to vote against Trump in November is that if he wins there's a very real chance that he would try to deport my wife and I do not what that to happen

Pretty confident that all the people who say AI can replace human teaching are just outing themselves as being bad at teaching.
“Already, generative AI is capable of assuming, to a great degree, the roles of the traditional professor. Soon, we may begin to consider AI as a professor in its own right.” 💀

I’ve made a lot of jokes about the J.D. Vance sparkling water story from Hillbilly Elegy, to the extent that it probably sounds made up, but you owe it to yourself to read the real thing if you haven’t

As a daily prospect park loop rider I should say PP but the rocky park of the north end of CP is pretty killer.

As someone who remembers Shinzo Abe's assassination very well, there's going to be a lot of conflicting and unclear information for a few hours and longer, and a lot of people are about to show their buttholes with their hot takes - don't be one of them

Honey pancakes in the parking lot of Hmart at 3 am after leaving Frank and Hanks are among the best memories of my 20s.

Growing up our local burrito chain advertised “burritos as big as your head” and it’s maybe the most important metric for burritos.

I'd give Kagi a look. You have to pay for it, but honestly it feels very worth it. Feels like google 2012. Every once in awhile I open google to find something I just can't find on Kagi, and I'm always shocked out busy google feels now though it is better for weird/obscure stuff.

Don’t forgot to attribute like $4 of your monthly subway pass to energy costs. And a dollar or two if you take electric Citybikes. Gotta be thorough.

So many crypto people tried to tell me Walmart was using distributed ledgers for inventory control! Which was obvious bullshit. But yes there are internal corporate uses for LLMs: the question is if there are consumer uses.

Was realizing the other day within a year of the App Store I personally knew so many people making app based businesses and had bought and used apps that changed my work. When Apple color came out like 3 people I knew started businesses on it. If ai was as big we would already see the impact.

Man now I really want to see a high school play set in the backyard of the divided house.

Just spent a week upstate (real upstate not just extended Brooklyn upstate) and saw 0 trump signs in an area that had flags, signs, painted barns, etc summer of 22 and 23. It’s WEIRD how it’s all gone.
Avatar
Not saying I disagree but in parts of upstate New York the signs and flags were everywhere two years ago with no real campaign going on so presumably third party vendors were producing a lot of it. Why would those vendors stop making signs if the demand was there? At least in NY it’s baffling.

Or you got to Oberlin because you dropped out of your first college and Oberlin takes an absurd number of transfer students.

Is this the story Reilly told on Conan and the whole time Conan was like “the anecdotes are never this juicy” and liked soaked it up like a sponge?

I did a quick google and couldnt find anything but an article in Tablet that seems to think Carlos is a good movie. Also dreading finding out what assayas did to be on this list.

Bought this album at Amoeba Music late one night based on faith that any band with such a great name would be good. Listened to it again yesterday.
