I may have to cover my eyes occasionally: I did get an aisle seat in case I need to make an escape. But it may cure me by overexposure!

I have booked to see Hard Boiled on Thursday. I have an aversion to seeing guns pointed at people's heads in films, and explosions scare me. I've just watched the trailer.
Pray for me.
I'm much older than you, and it's taken me a long time, and I still slip up sometimes!
Speaking as someone who recognises themselves in what you say, there is a third option. I've learned to slightly rein back at times and to recognise when it's ok to let go, sometimes within the same conversation.
@huwbowen.bsky.social Just sent you a DM, don't know if you can see them!

Green-tinted image showing a bowl of strawberries created by Japanese psychologist Akiyoshi Kitaoka that doesn’t have any red pixels in it, despite the strawberries looking red (they're actually grey, and it's just their relation to the overall green tint combined with what colour we expect to see on a strawberry that creates the illusion).
US: “I believe it when I see it! Reality is what our senses tell us! Always trust yourself!”
SCIENCE: “Here is a picture created by Japanese psychologist Akiyoshi Kitaoka that doesn’t have any red pixels in it, showing how easily we’re all fooled by what we think we can see. Have a lovely day.”
@sil.kryogenix.org Is It worth posting the request for CMA responses to Brumtech slack, do you think?
To be scrupulously fair, the flour in the British loaf will also have added nutrients (calcium carbonate, niacin, iron and thiamin) for the same reasons.
Yes, it was excellent! And thank you so much for the arachnophobia warning, we need more of those!
Got any plans for lunch?
yes I think I have to write something about 'failing quietly' vs 'failing loudly'
when the electricity in your house goes out, that is failing loudly. you know at once.
when an AI fails, it mostly fails quietly. the bad incorrect answer gives no warning that it is different to the good useful one
This feels tremendously helpful to me, but I can't think of a name! I'm a front end web developer; when developing the back end a lot of the time it just won't work if you've got something wrong, but with front end it can all look fine until you get an edge-case user complaining something's broken.
I'll pencil it in!
I'm not around on 1 March (or 15th) but will be on the 8th.
I'd be up for that!
The bar at the bottom of Leam? No I haven't. Do you recommend it?
@huwbowen.bsky.social Not to be weird and keep recommending you stuff, but are you aware of this documentary? Q&A with Walter Murch in London in May, will probably have a limited release after that. princecharlescinema.com/film/3161733...
I didn't! It helps if you know some colour theory, but I found myself describing the colour in my head with words. I seem to be consistently too dark, and some of their scores seem to be different to what you'd expect from how close the colours look.
Or marvellous, depending on your fancy! I go to letterpress courses from time to time and I love it. It forces you to slow right down and think about every decision, although once you'd done 7 years as an apprentice I'm sure you sped up quite a bit.
Pop him on a box.
Absolutely! The trailer is on YouTube and if it doesn't make you want to watch it immediately then I don't even know who you are. (It's on or has been on Netflix but I don't have that, I saw it as god intended, in the cinema.)
Talking of which... are you much of a Godard fan? Whether you are or not, you really should see Linklater's film Nouvelle Vague. I think you'd love it, I did!
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

And it's not overdone, just exactly the sort of stuff that is 90% of Rightmove. And hauling the drum of protein powder out of the boot. And his socks!
And I love Pearce Quigley.
Minimalism is a racket. It’s just big small trying to sell you more less.
every shot-on-video, made-with-a-camcorder horror movie that's just some teenage friend group fucking around in the woods with some fake blood and a monster mask contains more artistic merit, human joy and creative light than anything AI has ever made or will ever, ever make
Don't know if you've seen this Reddit comment but it absolutely nails that whole situation. www.reddit.com/r/politics/c...
That's exactly why a lot of people vote for Trump: they hate liberals above all else so they'll do anything to piss them off even though they'll get caught in the fallout.
