@RecDiffs @siracusa @hotdogsladies That Italian guy pronounced “Samhain" and “Siobhán” really quite well. If you want some cheap entertainment, try a perfectly normal Irish word such as “tábhachtach”, which means "important”. Like your Northern and Southern Italians, the dictionary link provides three pronunciations labeled “C”, “M”, “U”, for Connacht, Munster, and Ulster Irish, the three main provincial accents/dialects. (I'm from Munster so I pronounce it properly.) focloir.ie

How do you feel when you wake up and before bed and how easily do you fall asleep? The time in bed in the morning and at night tells you all you need to know. It's not a purely intellectual reasoning. It's not a pro and con list. It's not a spreadsheet. It’s not a Venn diagram. It's like, how do you feel? And are you even aware of how you're feeling? How much energy have you spent blocking out feeling, because you don't want to feel certain things? To borrow from Tara Brach, she said to me once, “There was a wise old sage who said, ‘There's really only one question worth considering and that… energy Related

if you have a hard time falling asleep, it's most often because of one of these reasons: - dinner too close to bed - too much caffeine or too late in day - stimulation too close to bedtime the more i'm aware of these, the more often i address them and fall asleep quicker Related

Dry, beleaguered honey cake is no way to kick off 5787. This best-in-category classic adapted from Marcy Goldman is the kind you make every year — deeply spiced, great crumb, and very cozy. It gets better as it has time to rest, honestly, just like me. smittenkitchen.com

It’s amazing to see people discover the joy of making your own personal-scale software. Interestingly most of what at least I see on my timeline is art/entertainment, not productivity software. I have a growing suspicion that existing productivity software is quickly becoming a “middle man” (which means their days are numbered.) Someone says “but people use email, I need to do email” — what they mean is people communicate and that’s true, but it being email or as text on a screen is kind of irrelevant on a human level. The economy of software is moving so quickly right now that it’s hard to e… Related

AUTODESIGNING PPTX: While trying to understand the new @github HydraFusion Project https://t.co/B03qBEWQQK I made my seventh attempt at a bespoke, and on-brand, PPTX deck tool for my brother @mariorod1 to cook with as a custom GitHub Copilot Canvas. It's getting an awfully lot easier to work within Swiss typographic grids in "creative" ways that make the literal roll of the dice satisfyingly fast without making so many LLM calls. Next, I'm looking forward to adding all the interesting GEPA and GRPO stuff that will enable compounding learning capabilities. —JM --- Cozy AI Recipe: - I pointed G… youtu.be

Why Netflix is betting on systems thinkers—not specialists—in the AI era | Elizabeth Stone (CPTO)
2 beliefs, in the piece's order there
Their words
I have a hard time picturing entertainment that doesn't have humans at the heart of it. So that that's humans in the creation of the storytelling, which I think is a scarce and valuable skill.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
