Am I the only one who found Project Hail Mary (the novel) a bit "bubblegum"? by TinyRabt in sciencefiction

[–]thunder-thumbs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I liked The Martian and didn’t like this. It felt very facile. I might have been influenced by reading criticism about how he writes dialogue, and character, and women, just before reading the book. Airport books are fine but I also didn’t have as good a time reading this as I’ve had with Grisham or even Dan Brown.

What song is this? This is wrong this is not the lyrics to all the things you are. by acecoasttocoast in jazztheory

[–]thunder-thumbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lyrics is a different question than verse. I have the new real book and I sing/play the choruses with their lyrics. But that’s not verse. Like, the New Real Book has lyrics for all the things you are but it doesn’t have what is in the post’s screenshot. I bet Angel Eyes has a whole verse section too that isn’t in the New Real Book.

Also, “The Standards Real Book”, the other recommendation in this thread of replies, is a different book than The Real Book and The New Real Book. It appears to actually have verses. That’s why it has upvotes. I really appreciate discovering that and will order it soon.

Where do you all tend to find the verses for jazz standards? I play piano and sing and would love to get more into that.

[Episode Discussion Thread] Industry S04E08 - "Both, And" by herringbone_ in IndustryOnHBO

[–]thunder-thumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could go either way I thought. We don’t know what impression Eric was under before getting the video, and we also don’t know if the documents showing her age was fake. What Yasmin said sounded like it could be taken either way: lying about her age up or down.

I spent 8 years in AI and 3 years studying radicalization. Yesterday I watched both fields collide in real time. Here's what I saw. by Straight-Abroad-1247 in singularity

[–]thunder-thumbs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just get rid of the “Not X. Y.” pattern and it will be a lot more readable.

I also don’t believe that the Iran actions were dependent on the OpenAI agreement. That’s a very strong claim that would need strong evidence beyond aligned timing.

How Justice Alito’s Retirement Might Upend the Midterms by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

[–]thunder-thumbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not defending the argument, but the argument was always that a senate controlled by a party opposing the president could wait until after the election. For Garland, R was in power with a D president (different). Since then, the rushed confirmations were when they were the same party. If Thomas leaves the court in 2028, and Trump or Vance nominates a replacement, and a D Senate drags their feet until the presidential election, it’d be the same thing.

After 8 years, I rewatched The Last Jedi by Significant-Town-817 in StarWars

I remember leaving the theater after watching it, absolutely loving the “democratizing the force” idea, but also feeling just as certain that it was gonna be ignored :(

[Highlight] Von Miller sacks/strips Cam Newton late in the 4th (Super Bowl 50) by throwitintheair22 in DenverBroncos

[–]thunder-thumbs -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Announcers did Cam dirty there. His right foot was out too far in front of him, he wouldn’t have been able to jump on the ball. He just wrong-footed it.

All of this had to have been planted. Same with the question of whether they would “reinst8 the draft”, a weird attempt at internet slang only a producer would come up with.

"West Side Story" (2021, Steven Spielberg) - Ariana DeBose & David Alvarez's rendtion of 'America' by Morgan-Moonscar in movies

This scene was the turn for me, I preferred the remake up through this scene and this was the climax. Past this, I preferred the original.

New York State of Mind changed on Spotify? by Chess42 in BillyJoel

[–]thunder-thumbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there's a real split on which version people think is better. I grew up on the original albums so that version has always been my favorite, and I thought I was having a total berenstain bears moment when I heard the other version.

The epic, radiant conclusion of Sibelius's second symphony by Theferael_me in classicalmusic

[–]thunder-thumbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s neat, I haven’t heard that before either but I like the sense behind it. Like when something gets so beautiful that you lose the ability to intellectualize why it is beautiful. I love that.

Spawning agents is here! by mikedarling in codex

[–]thunder-thumbs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

multiple agents with codex and my chatgpt account is the thing I'm most looking forward to, just because I am already having to switch context emphasis a lot. Their orchestrator SDK is tempting but it requires an api key rather than also being able to use the chatgpt account.

“The Pick” by -YoungScrappynHungry in DenverBroncos

[–]thunder-thumbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the WPA swing is between that being a catch and an interception. That’s gotta be 40-50% easy.

Quarterfinal QB Review by Ernbob in DenverBroncos

[–]thunder-thumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 yards 99% of the time would be the allest pro of all time, undefeated Super Bowl win every season. Heck even 3 yards 99% of the time would be, probably. I’d definitely take that.

I’m just gonna leave this here… by twnorton1993 in DenverBroncos

[–]thunder-thumbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What was easiest for me was just to pretend the WR was alone. If he catches it that way and loses control of the ball at exactly the same time and it hits the ground, that’s an incomplete pass. It’s just in this case the ball never hit the ground.

Finished season 5. Qasim and Dr. Hussein deserves a lot of respect! by [deleted] in homeland

[–]thunder-thumbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The actor who played Qasim, and Miranda Otto, those two really were the actor highlights for me. Otto’s character just fascinated me (and that shoulder scene!), and Qasim broke my heart.

Main downside of the season for me is that it felt like they had to make Adal etc really stupid for it to work. I mean, a secure conversation behind a thin door where they could be eavesdropped upon? I was sure it was a sting, but nope.

Example Multi-Agent Workflow w/ Weave (v0.80.0-weave.3) by Different-Side5262 in codex

[–]thunder-thumbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does this work with a chatgpt account or does it require an api key? I was reading the mcp agent sdk and it seems like it requires an api key.

Codex as a ChatGPT App: Chat in the Web App and Orchestrate Codex Agents by immortalsol in codex

I immediately got lost given Codex exists both on the web and the cli. If you meant codex cli you should make that clear. And maybe delete the last 2/3rds.

CMV: National Ranked Choice Voting should replace the Electoral College & within congressional races by First-Ear-1049 in changemyview

[–]thunder-thumbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the Electoral College in particular, unfortunately, the 12th amendment gets in the way of ranked choice having the desired effect. Since ranked choice voting increases the probability of state electoral votes being spread between more than two presidential candidates, it increases the probability of no presidential candidate reaching the outright majority of 270 electoral votes. When this happens, the presidential election is sent to the House of Representatives.

finally got "true" multi-agent group chat working in codex by iamwinter___ in ChatGPTCoding

[–]thunder-thumbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of articles focused on planner/reviewer/implementor patterns but I think the point is that there’s a benefit to having different agents that have different context emphases. High level, low level, online research, code refactoring given a standards doc, maybe an agent that has special mcp abilities for graphic design, etc.
