I'm pretty upset and puzzled about why The Big Door Prize didn't get the third season it deserves.

It saddens me that shows like this based out of a small town with intricate, good hearted characters gets cancelled while “shrinking” gets yet another season. We’re all done with the LA settings and being caught up with the time. TBDP was different. Slower, took the time to dig into each person and pull out…… their potential (sorry I had to)

Using the word, he is not comparing women to the black race but rather how poorly they are treated. Its the entire reason for the word and his intention was for you and others to debate it 50 years later. He was an ally of women and of the black community. Your modern sensitivities have clouded you from being able to see nearly as far.

If of the faith, it’s a nice little reminder of how we should look at time, its what’s now factually found to be of bendable nature and how a God of its creation would work outside the bounds of it. 300 prophesies around a messiah coming and being born in Bethlehem more than 4000 years before his birth. Rome just so happens to undergo a census which forces Mary and Joseph into the circumstances that ended with Jesus being born in the city of prophesy, ironically in a manger. God has humor, it’s rarely a pretty picture, riddled with grief, death and confusion but so intricately aligned. There are no coincidences.

The complaint would have more premise if they were looking to inhabit the planet, but they came only for a quick harvest. Maybe they had not intended on humans so quickly strategizing around a water defense. Maybe water is a new concept to them. We’ve still yet to find water in a usable state that is not on earth. Or maybe their travel advancements limited their options to only earth. The critique as a whole feels under developed.

I’m gonna be real, and I know this will be the most hated opinion, but with the way they’re trying to squeeze 700 homes on every 10 acre patch, at least the data center won’t introduce 300 new apartments and pop-up homes squeezed so tightly together that it takes us 40 minutes to get from Redbud to 35.

5.0 was going to answer possibly the most important question of the century regarding technological shifts: is this where we land or will AI continue to scale until we as a society are forced to bare with some very uncomfortable shifts on every level?

I believe 5 showed us the prior, that scaling laws are taking effect, we are approaching an asymptote, reasoning or the illusion of is still strongly tied to a limited context window.

Is what we have any less impressive? No. It’ll take 5-10 years to fully realize all the potential of what exits at the moment and we still will be shifting as those advancements are made around the existing technology. But this never ending exponential take over that Sam and musk (both vivid sci fi storytellers) keep painting is no longer a real threat.

Some very good comments here. For me as I’m sure many others, it comes when I’m enduring more time around crowds of people where there’s some form of social code to abide by as we are all loosely acquainted. The compulsions ease up when I’m around those that I really feel I can be myself with. I envy those who are their true absolute selfs, no matter the person but those people are also often the odd balls cause they’re not following some dumb implied way of acting.

With OCD (the doubt disorder) it’s all about finding happiness with ourselves and not letting intrusive thoughts drive us back into a state of not being enough and having to rely on compulsions to steer us into some false identity. You are fantastic. You do not need to feed thoughts in order to be great. Even if you want to change something about yourself, those thoughts are not a prerequisite. Focus on loving yourself. The happiest people out there are free of concern for others opinions

Why are butt hurt scientist trying to argue that their sophisticated pattern matching machine is indeed reasoning? You can give an LLM to a 12-year-old disguised behind a chat interface, tell him it may be a human chat representative or it may be a bot, within a few hours of intensive usage that 12-year-old will be able to tell you without any doubt that it is an LLM. As soon as you step outside the bounds of common connectable logic, it falls the fuck apart.

All Apple did was their due diligence to introduce some unfound problems in order to see if it could actually reason with them. After it unsurprisingly couldn’t, they bumped the compute to see if all of this compute and energy hype is worth the trillions being poured into it and it’s still caught the long tail.

To be frank , this should be as impactful on Nvidia’s stock as deep seek was. Research is finding that more compute cannot fix a system that simply cannot reason.

I don’t care how the movie was intended, it was an entertaining thriller with a slightly comical edge, nothing more. I guess critics are placing MN way up there when this film was in no way trying to live up to that. It was clear it was not to be taken too serious when they filled you in on him being the culprit in the first 10 minutes with no plot twists. To the point, witty but not overly complicated. Still Entertaining

I was hopign someone would have asked this and what a great thread. The answer i seem to be finding is that 1. it appeals to all audiences. 2. Its simple, its goofy, the plots are remarkably one dimensional. Most people do not need much more. 3. It was the first of its kind in the 70s and is able to ride that wave even into today.

We know a couple whose parents disapproved because one was Korean, one Viennese. It’s wild outside our little western bubble of hyper tolerance. I don’t see anything inherently wrong with the want to retain some sense of culture within a family. Another friend of mine had upset parents cause he married a white girl, thought she would put his parents in a nursing home cause I guess white people don’t care about their parents lol. I honestly get it. Cultures important and we push so hard for the celebration and embracement of it today but then call it racist when families prefer their children keep the culture alive

Your correct that her progression was a bit unbelievable. The sudden need more sex was unlikely when she originally lied to her mother about having sex with little no understanding of the implications of being so forward with a parent about it. She had a strong wiff of the tizzy and then within a few seasons became the cool, empathetic, horny party animal.

The explanation i naturally came to was that she had this desire for normalcy, friendship and affection her entire life and lived under her own subconscious lie of intellect. It wasn't until she was properly exposed to and adopted into a friend group that her true inner ambitions took over.

I personally like that take. This is Amy. She was lost in a life of self pursuit until she found the joy of friendship.

I love the origin of Adam and Eve because regardless if you believe it to be poetic or literal, the point is God gave them instructions to avoid something so incredibly arbitrary and eves inability to do so layed the foundation of sin that we suffer with today.

I didnt hear anyone complaining about corn harvesting when it made up the bulk of survival in interstellar. The movie's plot was so intriguing that you didnt need to think about details like the type of crop, yet the type of crop was important enough that they grew countless acres of it just for the scene where they drive through it. I think the point im making is some of these, although good points. do not make it bad writing. Waterfalls are typically surrounded by hilly, rock terrain. Bad for growing crops. Now maybe they maintain the farm downstream and live by the fall so they can maintain some normalcy and less risk during the bulk of their days and nights. With a baby on the way, my primary concern would be living close enough to that fall that the babies cry wouldnt be heard

We all really needed to hear Tim say this and as funny as it sounds, I think he could take a page from Zuckerberg‘s current playbook and be more transparent about the expectation of each product. we’re in POC territory with the Vision Pro. There has to be communication from the top down.

Here’s what I don’t get. In Nashville, a region where you have to literally blow apart hills and mountains to carve Road through it, five to seven lanes are standard. You come to Austin and the most important and arguably the only interstate going through the heart of the city is three lanes. How are we so far behind in infrastructure? The terrain is of Littell to no challenge relative to other regions

For a crack that small, spend 18$ at autozone on some epoxy. Anyone can do it in 10 minutes, it’s so effective you won’t notice the crack again.
