For some reason MKBHD is the only individual in America that’s being held accountable.
Last video I did something pretty stupid. You might've already seen it, but maybe not so I'll address it here. There was a clip with the action cam of me test driving a car and going way to fast. Absolutely inexcusable and dangerous.
I've since cut it out of the video with YouTube's editor tool. I also understand that this looks like covering it up, but I think it's the right thing to do.
There's no reason to leave that clip in (there was no reason to include it in the first place) and I would never want to make it seem ok by leaving it in the video. I'm well aware of the Streisand effect, and I know everything on the internet lives forever, but I think that's the best decision right now.
All I can do apologize and promise never to do anything close to that stupid again. That's a terrible example to set and I'm sorry for it.
Despite the consistent peals of a disgruntled baby unfortunately pressed into attending a theater in the late evening and the futile jangling of a parent’s keys, seeing Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was pretty fantastic.

Seeing a lot of surface level reads of this ad as dystopian, but it’s the first mildly edgy thing Apple has done in years and it pushes beyond the gorgeous but bland messaging they’ve been mired in.
Meet the new iPad Pro: the thinnest product we’ve ever created, the most advanced display we’ve ever produced, with the incredible power of the M4 chip. Just imagine all the things it’ll be used to create.

People are making a lot of hay about this quote but putting cartoon Sokka’s words in a human mouth totally changes the dynamic. Cartoons being sexist doesn’t play the same way as humans being sexist. They’d have to make adjustments.
Netflix's live-action "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series is toning down the sexism.
"We took out the element of how sexist [Sokka] was. I feel like there were a lot of moments in the original show that were iffy," says Kiawentiio (Katara).
“Yeah, totally,” adds Ian Ousley (Sokka). “There are things that were redirected just because it might play a little differently [in live action].”

Perfect opportunity for a random junior dev to speed run a native Netflix visionOS app.
Netflix co-CEO on lack of a Vision Pro app:
"We have to be careful about making sure that we're not investing in places that are not really yielding a return, and I would say we'll see where things go with Vision Pro.”
Not unchecking a box to enable their iPad app is a huge investment.

There was a brief moment in Georgia history that seemed like post-war life might be a true cultural shift - before it was stomped by racism.
160 years ago today, the state of Georgia refused to seat 33 Black elected officials from the state legislature, sparking a series of events that led to one of Black Twitter's most celebrated memes.
A thread.

You’ll never even notice 99% of “realistic” cgi. It’s as ubiquitous and foundational to modern filmmaking as digital camera sensors. teapaw.org/slimyswampghost/status…

The core truth of this whole discourse is that the movie was just fine. It’s a big dumb commercial piece that had typical moments of brilliance and stupidity heavily saddled with external issues and expectations.

I’m convinced this completely absurd dialog came about because they wanted to say “all the explosions are real” but they got made fun of online so they settled on the nonsensical “no cgi”.

Every few years new swath of folks realize there’s some absolute gold in the consciously big n’ dumb FF franchise and I love to see it.

The concept of penetration testing human art competitions is interesting here, but this is still such a lame thing to do.
So a photographer entered an AI Image into the Sony World Photography Awards 2023 and won!
He then refused the award.

“I applied as a cheeky monkey, to find out, if the comeptitions are prepared for AI images to enter. They are not.”

Carl’s gonna die in the first 3min.
Pixar’s ‘Up’ short film ‘CARL’S DATE’ will play in theaters in June before showings of #Elemental.
The short film follows Carl as he prepares for his first date since Ellie’s death.

The core problem here is that photons lighting these scenes were produced after the 70s, and as such are inaccurately representing the era.
my personal theory for why it's impossible for hollywood to make a plausible period piece for TV/film in 2023 is cosmetic dentistry. these fake teeth simply did not exist in the 70s.

This one deserves at least one more season. So much heart, great vfx that matched the tone, a hardworking cast that brought some wonderful new characters to life. Felt poised to hit its stride in s2.
EXCLUSIVE: There will be no second season of #Willow, Disney+’s live-action original series based on the 1988 fantasy film directed by Ron Howard bit.ly/3mWpEdn

The singular most effective PM I ever had wasn't a coder. They were an extremely skilled *facilitator* who learned how I worked and created a responsive environment around me to help increase my efficiency.
NEW: Elon Musk has sent another email to Twitter engineers warning them about code reviews. “All managers are expected to write a meaningful amount of software themselves. Being unable to do so is like a cavalry captain who can’t ride a horse.”
