  • Like most genres there’s going to be some films that connect with some people more than others. The music, setting, characters, story, etc can all weigh in on how effective the scares or laughs or whatever emotional reaction you’re going for are with different audiences. If heredity was too slow of a suspense builder you might want to avoid other similar slow building suspense for awhile and look for more faster paced action horror, comedy horror, etc other sub-genres of horror.

  • Saved an old desktop and laptop from the trash by installing mint and Firefox with ublock. The desktop lasted them for years without any problems, and I think the only problem I supported on the laptop over years was the boot mount filled itself up during updates and needed to be cleaned up.




  • Here’s the cycle we’ve gone through multiple times and are currently in:

    AI winter (low research funding) -> incremental scientific advancement -> breakthrough for new capabilities from multiple incremental advancements to the scientific models over time building on each other (expert systems, LLMs, neutral networks, etc) -> engineering creates new tech products/frameworks/services based on new science -> hype for new tech creates sales and economic activity, research funding, subsidies etc -> (for LLMs we’re here) people become familiar with new tech capabilities and limitations through use -> hype spending bubble bursts when overspend doesn’t keep up with infinite money line goes up or new research breakthroughs -> AI winter -> etc…
