> I like to say programming is about knowing which rabbit holes to plunge down and which to step over.

I like this a lot. I told someone once I avoid documentation like the plague and it just didn't have the same poetic ring as this line.

Sometimes you need to dive in, other times you need to hobble together something to step over


its very likely to cause reciprocal tariffs though, and exports of Hollywood way out weigh the imports of foreign films


And it will very likely lead to issues with financing films. Many films these days are shot in multiple locations and use foreign financing, tax breaks and subsidies, sometimes accepting funds from multiple countries.


There are big issues with foreign cinema. We still have a lot of structural advantages in the US to producing films. Production has shifted to other countries because of significant tax incentives. These tax incentives are a way that other countries are frankly not playing fair.

The bottom line for me is that we shouldn't simply accept that films should all be filmed in Canada, Australia, the UK, or elsewhere. Hollywood has been the epicenter of creative jobs in this country for a century, and we should try to preserve it.


Not playing fair? Horse hockey. Every sovereign nation is entirely within their rights to adjust their taxing system for their own benefit. Belief in this juvenile concept of fairness is how we got the unholy mess we're sitting in right now.


US has tons of tax incentives for film, just at the state level. And Trump announced 100% tariffs across the board regardless of if a country has film subsidies.


> These tax incentives are a way that other countries are frankly not playing fair.

Honest question: what does "fair" mean in this context?


There already are tarrifs and bans against Hollywood in many countries.


No free country has a ban on Hollywood movies.


> There already are tarrifs and bans against Hollywood in many countries.

Name one.


Name 10.


I wasn’t sure there would be 10, but nearly all the big countries add extra taxes on Hollywood movies to fund their own competitors. It’s effectively a tariff.


There are around 192 countries. I expected "many countries" to be at least 10. Now it's "big countries"? Does Greenland have a tariff on Hollywood films? Does France ban Hollywood films?


I was thinking something similar, i know i'm going to build skyscraper high arguments that hinge on just this headline


because they started the experiment 20b in debt and have also managed to do a massive crime clean up + survive covid in that time. bitcoin is an overall benefit, but they are burdened but what has been


it makes sense that if average tenure at a company is 3-5 years then some percentage yearly firing will cull people who have 'quiet quit' and havent fully quit yet


iirc those overclocks needed thermal paste to be reapplied, plus dust in case probably crushed airflow


will grayjay do the push/creation side as well, or is that a different product?


my understand is that apple intelligence aims to be a tiny model that runs locally, and when it identifies that a request is complex it sends it off to chatgpt

though it looks like this is just the first of many 'extensions' that can be added to apple intelligence


ChatGPT integration in iOS without an account. 3 integrations:

1. siri can hand off when it decides via 'extension'

2. writing tools

3. camera control / visual intelligence

pretty cool at the end they demo'd using Preview, asking a question of the PDF via Siri/ChatGPT


i lifted weights to attempt to fix postural issues that i noticed in my 20s. it made things worse

the issue was that i lifted weights to make big number go up, instead of using weights as a support tool to explore muscles in the body


Yup, the same happened to me.

The additional strength didn't do anything to fix my posture. It just let me hold my bad posture for even longer, until another muscle would fail.

You need things like Alexander Technique to retrain how you hold and use your body. And things like myofascial release to undo all the new tension you created from all the lifting with bad posture.


yep this is exactly what is saving me, and its taking a while. how long did it take you to “complete” the AT/myofascial work?
