Typewriter Monke @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social "why not use [language model] for this" well you see I take some amount of pride in having stuff to say that can't be predicted by a statistical estimate April 28, 2025 at 6:04 AM

Dan's "you've given it more thought than me" is an incredible line read.

Jason Mamoa sneaking up on Henry Cavill meme. Cavill is labeled “me, totally in the writing zone”. Mamao is labeled “expiring SSL cert”

ahh, self-hosting

the internet starting to re-fragment into having Actual Websites again as centralized social media self-destructs is unironically one of the absolute best, most positive things happening rn

Monolith social media is not what the human condition desires.

YouTube video by UnderworldFan94 Underworld - Cowgirl

Come to think of it, I also had that album taped to CASSETTE so that I could listen to Cowgirl while riding my bike around in extremely unsafe ways. Discman couldn't handle the jostle. Hard to beat this helldiving through like Times Square or suchlike:

Underworld: still got it.

I came up as a young man with dubnobasswithmyheadman on a discman(!!!) walking rainy nights in the Village. "Into the blood," and so forth. It's inspiring to see artists putting out high quality new stuff 25 years later.

Nevermind! It's in the WaPo itself!

What's your source on the Arc XP layoffs?

We didn't have a company thing for this. Part of our agency partnership program is to let them all have a free site to give away, and similar for employees, so it's devolved to individuals deciding how they want to use that.

Continuity is a specific discipline in filmmaking. At it's base is making sure the physical environment of the set is consistent across many days of shooting. The minutia is a whole job.

"On a traditional film set, the background would be the same, things would be the same [from scene to scene]."

If you can't get continuity from these models it's never going to work.

As real live shit continues to happen, it just won't be an effective information environment. Like LinkedIn. Except instead of being a blandly professional environment it'll be X the Everything App, for fans of that kind of thing.

Legacy Twitter got that. It was their whole brand but more importantly why so many highly influential communities congregated there. That's all blown now.

"Microblogging" is a killer app for when Stuff Happens Live. Forum style posting on your phone is fun and nice but what makes or breaks a platform is those moments.

If current trends continue in platform adoption, x dot com the everything app is a few breaking real time events away from doom.

Perhaps the big lesson this time around should be "voters won't make the case to themselves."

I think the candidate or campaign still has to run on what was delivered to reap the benefit.

Sorry for the bother! Thanks for the quick reply.

@drpepsi.bsky.social maybe I'm banking on too much idiosyncrasy with spending an hour on This Place, but I feel like I bought some light sweatpants off you tweeting about it 2-3 years ago and can't for the life of me find an email about the order that would let me re-up. Apologies if this is a miss.

More good vibes. Flavor Flav is a power user!

First post on this app.

The vibes are good.
