Ein weiterer solider Film der Serie, wenn auch nicht ganz so gut, wie die Vorgänger. Besonders die Songs lassen leider in diesem Teil etwas nach. Aber war ne gute Zeit im UCI.

Runde Nr. 3! Die Lage spitzt sich zu!
🎬 Hot Fuzz
Didn't remember the action-laden ending to be this long. But apart from this, solidly funny entertainment!
🎬 Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
Ehhh…whattt??? Jesus. This is just bonkers all the way through. It's wild! I don't really know what to make of this (yet).
🎬 Praxis Dr. Hasenbein
Eieiei ist das behämmert! Und wenn ich mir die Hälfte der Szenen so angucke, fand das Cast das auch!
🎬 Texas - Doc Snyder hält die Welt in Atem
Wesentlich besser als Dr. Hasenbein. Dieser hat in der Tat einen Haufen großartiger Dialoge und Szenen. Das Gitarrensolo! Die ganzen Nasenmann-Szenen. Das Erdbeben. Muss man mal gesehen haben!
🎬 Bibi & Tina: Bewildered and Bewitched
Voll verhext? Voll in Ordnung!
🎬 Bibi & Tina: Girls vs. Boys
Dekadent bereits am Morgen geguckt. Mit Popcorn. Es war super!
🎬 The American Friend
Loved the pictures in this film. Everything's so beautiful and moody. I have never seen Bruno Ganz younger than here, I believe. And he and Dennis Hopper are simply fantastic (and the support cast, too). At first I thought the plot could've been a bit more tightened up, but honestly, I think it's really fits the movie and its characters. And it's certainly entertaining and also quite funny how clumsy they are at times.

Video of GPT-OSS 20B running on a phone
GPT-OSS 20B is a very good model. At launch OpenAI claimed:The gpt-oss-20b model delivers similar results to OpenAI o3‑mini on common benchmarks and can run on edge devices with just 16 GB of memory
Nexa AI just posted a video on Twitter demonstrating exactly that: the full GPT-OSS 20B running on a Snapdragon Gen 5 phone in their Nexa Studio Android app. It requires at least 16GB of RAM, and benefits from Snapdragon using a similar trick to Apple Silicon where the system RAM is available to both the CPU and the GPU.
The latest iPhone 17 Pro Max is still stuck at 12GB of RAM, presumably not enough to run this same model.

Apple Newsroom on the Immersive Vision Pro Lakers Broadcasts
apple.com/newsroom/2025/10/spectrum-brings-nba-games-in-apple-immersive-to-apple-vision-pro/
Apple Newsroom:
In addition to live games for fans in the Lakers’ regional broadcast territory — which covers Southern California, Hawaii, and parts of southern Nevada, including Las Vegas — full game replays and highlights will be available to Apple Vision Pro users in select countries and regions from both the SportsNet and NBA apps. These live games will be captured using the new URSA Cine Immersive Live camera from Blackmagic Design, a version of the camera that launched earlier this year to capture Apple Immersive for Vision Pro, and will be available for purchase next year.
I didn’t catch yesterday that these immersive broadcasts would only be available live within the Lakers’ local broadcast territory, which stinks, but alas, makes sense given how sports broadcasting rights work.

The Underscore Music Player
For the past several months, I’ve been using a web-based music player I built called Underscore. It’s playing music for me right now. I recently revamped & improved it and thought it was time to show it off. Here’s a screenshot:

Minute/Year is an art piece/installation where the sound occurring in a space for a single minute is recorded each day. Simultaneously, the previous day’s recording is played back. So each day’s recording features something of the previous day.
