- First time seeing The Room last night, at a small local theater. People laughed and yelled and threw spoons and had a great time The movie was somehow worse than I expected it to be!
- Reposted by Ron Boweswas talking with someone about this just the other day: it's a real shame that we're lumping in actually useful applications of machine learning in with pointlessly wasteful LLM projects due to nothing more than semantic scope-creep.
- I've been reading Mike Close's books on magic ("Workers"), and something he said really resonated: all the tricks marketed by magic sellers advertise "EASY!", and "LEARN INSTANTLY", but what's the fun in that? I want to learn things that are hard, not easy! #magic

- One of the smartest marketing coups was convincing people that the ads are the best part of a big sporting event I look forward to "watch this amazing Superbowl ad!!!" being over - an ad's an ad, block it

- @goodtogo.wsdot.wa.gov Are y'all having problems with your payment site? I got a bill in the mail (despite having a G2G account), and when I log in, the payment fails with "unknown error" and the customer support page doesn't do anything

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version.
