Villains who live in opulent, remote modernist houses may have been a cliché since the last century, but given Hollywood’s addiction to the tried and true, they do still turn up now and again. Unsurprisingly, few filmmakers have managed to use them anywhere near as memorably as Alfred Hitchcock did. Think back to North by Northwest, that […]

"Rory Feldman was accused of deceiving, defrauding, and stealing. But he says he’s been the target of a relentless smear campaign by a 'magic mafia.'"

Unexpectedly, my favorite part of Micro.blog’s email newsletters is that I get an email with all my posts from the last week. It would be useful even if I was the only subscriber. Monday morning is a great time to quickly reflect on what was happening last week before moving on.

In April, Andrej Karpathy published a GitHub gist file called “LLM Wiki,” a brief text document designed to help one

The post Andrej Karpathy, Google and Garry Tan agree Markdown is the answer, but they’re not solving the same problem appeared first on The New Stack.

Andrew, this is what I changed that paragraph to.

There isn't very much I'd have to do beyond adding two Atom elements to my feed, and an Atom namespace declaration in the top line of the file. So it's not an easy thing to do, because I don't see the need for Atom to be a requirement for WebSub, and I'd like for them have had the maturity to do this a different way.

Stay in line, and do our Monday crossword. This puzzle was constructed by Peggy Sue Marlin, and edited by Hoang-Kim Vu. Peggy Sue works in systems and data automation and enjoys golfing and DIY projects. She won her school spelling bee on the word "cheeseburger," then w...

I think it's important we set some axioms for discussion of Anaheim's Leo Carlsson signing an offer sheet with Philadelphia, because it helps a superficially mindblowing contract feel something closer to logical—both in that the Flyers were wise to offer it, and in that the ...

Every Thursday and Sunday evening, a dozen volunteers file into the back room of Vesper, a community space in East Austin. In the workroom-turned-library, there is a small kitchen, bright overhead lighting, and hundreds of books and magazines stacked every which way on floor-to-ceiling shelves that line the walls. Each person plucks a handwritten letter […]

I love this short little video montage of actresses during Charlie Rose interviews. No dialogue, just quiet reactions. Musical accompaniment by Laurie Anderson (O Superman).

What makes an apology actually work?

Jason Snell, at Macworld: My first day on the job at Macworld, Apple was perilously close to going out of business. It was the fall of 1997, and Steve Jobs had returned to Apple and engineered the ejection of Gil Amelio as CEO, but there was no iMac yet, no visible turna...

Holes in socks have become a curious sight at this year’s World Cup. The reasons why are a weird mix of biomechanics, perception, and player habits.

One of the great things about the World Cup and the US: In the United States, Every World Cup Team Is a Home Team. “Soccer fans from all over the world, many now making their homes in America, have packed bars, restaurants, living rooms…”

The Seal 08 boasts “the power of a million-dollar vehicle,” but can be bought for under $30,000 in China. After it went on sale last week, locked-in orders for BYD’s new flagship electric sedan reached around 65,000 in its first 30 hours.

It was meant to make you think, and apparently it did that, but didn't help you see the reason.

It is explained in the next paragraph.

Local news has long been an exception to a troubling trend. Even as trust in national news organizations eroded over the past decade and partisan divides over the media widened, local news largely held its ground — majorities of both Republicans and Democrats continued to rate their local news media favorably. Despite facing major financial...
