To be fair to Wright, there were a bunch of big budget movies in 2025 that flopped: Thunderbolts, Tron Ares, Snow White, etc. There’s definitely a wider phenomenon at work of cinema struggling in general. But I agree, Wright’s big-budget ca

If you’re a fan of LOTR but don’t fancy reading it aloud yourself, I’d really recommend the new audio versions read by Andy Serkis. While I don’t vibe with every facet of his performance, overall it’s a tour-de-force, and really makes the p

You really can’t tell? Perhaps the bar for AGI is lower than I thought.

"Ban all plastics" is a strawman that will not happen and no mainstream opinion is suggesting. But there is a wide spectrum of possibilities between "ban all plastics" and "do nothing". A principal concern is i

But isn't that a limitation of the AI, not necessarily how the AI is integrated into the software? Personally, I don't want AI running around changing things without me asking to do so. I think chat is absolutely the right interfa

I think the context some may be missing here is that Blue Origin and ULA have been attempting to get the FAA to limit SpaceX's planned Starship operations in Florida on the basis that they will have too much environmental impact and i

Yes, modern screenwriting classes hammer home some variation of the five-act structure and, the particular beats to hit at each point. It's rare for any narrative film, even indies, to deviate from it much, and you are absolutely told

“I don’t think this kind of thing [satire] has an impact on the unconverted, frankly. It’s not even preaching to the converted; it’s titillating the converted. I think the people who say we need satire often mean, ‘We need satire of them, n

Eyeballing it, that bar looks to be around 15% in height. Typing "50" instead of "15" is a plausible typo. Albeit, one you might expect from a high-schooler giving a class presentation, not in a flagship launch by one of

So, this is admittedly a little tinfoil, but I wouldn't be surprised if Musk is happy for some degree of espionage to happen. If it looked like there was a possibility of China getting this capability first, it would light a fire under

Almost any task on a software project that you need to is worth doing as a script, if at all practical. Unless you are really, _really_ certain that it will be 100% a one-off, then writing and committing a script to do it will almost always

I'm tired of hearing the exact same arguments, "not needed", "just syntax sugar", "too much complexity", about every new syntax feature that gets added to JS. Somehow, once they are in the language, nobody

I tried this for pixel art and came away a bit disappointed. It seems to have no real support for drawing using palettes / indexed colors. Sure, you can setup or load a palette, but the drawing tools make no reference to it, and contin

It'd be interesting to plot this against incidences of fouls and misconduct over the same time period. If play has gradually gotten cleaner, this would provide less opportunity for referee bias to affect outcomes even if referees thems

I'm not sure how much sense it makes to talk about 9 year old children "liking" gambling. Sure, genetic predisposition undoubtedly plays a role in any behaviour, but do you really think childhood experiences have no effect on

While I share your reservations, how many millions of people have experienced the exact same disruption to their jobs and industries because of software that we, software engineers, have created? It’s a bit too late, and a touch hypocritic

It also has barely seen any activity in years. It is going nowhere. The TC39 committee is utterly dysfunctional and anti-progress, and will not let any this or any other new syntax into JavaScript. Records and tuples has just been killed, d

I think the accepted truth that dating apps like Hinge are terrible for finding long-term partners ignores the fact that most people are not really trying to use them to find a long-term partner. They might say they wanted to find a lon
