After years of work, and several of the greatest minds in computer science telling me it couldn't be done, I've finally done it.

I finally finished my bot that automatically blocks anyone on Twitter who isn't Extremely Hot.

If you're reading this: congrats!

but probably for similar reasons

animators choose how to represent or exaggerate things deliberately *un*realistically

deep RL for movement shows how a model would move if it were literally real

animators show how it *feels* like something *should* move

[James @ratherbright]

ai is a term that has meant a lot of things over time

the miyazaki quote about him “hating ai” was not about him hating generative ai but rather normal cgi where the 3d model learned to move (unnaturally) via deep reinforcement learning

but yeah he hates generative ai for sure

Talking to a friend who works more than me: buddy, it’s called life. It’s called joy, time with family. Nature.

Talking to a friend who works less than me: at a certain point in every man’s life he needs to step up bro

one of my fav fun facts

nyc film permits are shockingly inexpensive - especially considering the fact that they will reroute traffic and provide nypd presence for “free”

it’s why so many movies and shows are set there. they’re ads for the city

[k.a. @kaeae]

@soldierlander22 @burning_mercy @pakejanek @BadGuyRants Between actual location, cgi and set i’m thinking permits in nyc is tough/expensive while set for something like this wouldn’t look good enough (cgi more expensive than set but its a major studio franchise so they have a good budget)

when my dad worked for the postal service in the 70s they had a paperwork headache when two employees had the same SSN. it’s not supposed to happen, but it does

SSNs are older than computers

there are only 1b SSNs. there are 300m *living* americans, and >150m dead since 1936
