モーガンフリーマンとマイケルケインとの対談。これもまたシンプルなようで、どこまでも追求できる基礎が詰まっていますね。 以下全部翻訳。 フリーマン: 「マイケル、君は有名な演技マスタークラスをやったよね。」 ケイン: 「ああ、やったよ。80年代だ。遅めの80年代だったかな。」 フリーマン: 「俺はそれを見たんだ。映画演技について大きな教訓をもらった。」 ケイン: 「何についてだった?」 フリーマン: 「クローズアップのとき、どこを見るかだ。」 ケイン: 「今教えてやるよ。映画では、普通に人と話しているときみたいに目から目へ視線を動かしたりするだろ。でも映画だと、そうやると顔がカクカク動いて見えて、あんまり良くないんだ。」 ケイン: 「後ろにカメラがあるよね。俺は今、君に話しかけている。普通に話せば両目が君に向いている。でもカメラが入ると、こっちに少しずらして、もう片方の目がカメラに入るようにする。それでも見た目は、君を見ているようになる。これがコツだ。」 フリーマン: 「いい技だな。」 ケイン: 「それから、目に何か入ったとき以外は、まばたきをするな。マーリーン・ディートリッヒに教わったんだ。」 ケイン: 「ライザ・ミネリの誕生日パーティーで、彼女のゴッドマザーだったディートリッヒがいた。当時俺は『アルフィー』で有名になりかけていた頃で、彼女に『映画スターなのになんでそんなにだらしない服装なんだ』と怒られた。それからビュッフェで一緒に食事をすることになって、『もう一つ、君は目の使い方が間違っている』と言われて、その話を聞いたんだ。」 フリーマン: 「すごいな。」 ケイン: 「まばたきをするな、という人もいた。まばたきすると弱く見えるんだ。俺は今、君と話している間、一度もまばたきしていない。君も一度もしなかったから、義眼かと思ったよ。」

Q. 1139: In the early 1970s, Aquablast, a Canadian company, promised a seemingly lucrative business using high-pressure water to clean industrial machinery and equipment. The venture proved fraudulent, leaving one particularly unfortunate investor nearly £500,000 in debt and close to bankruptcy. Who was this famous investor? #QuizOfTheDay

Recently had a chance to evaluate the realities of the ‘no-cost-emi’ offering via credit cards in India through an actual transaction in the family. Very different from similar transactions in US. 3 learnings for me 1) Banks charge a Rs. 199-299 fee to convert transaction
Idk why people directly pay the full amount when there is no cost emi option available.

Don’t be a pagla, jo samjhane se na samjhe. Some regrets stay with you for a long, long time. Watch the film to find out what Piyush Mishra still regrets. And take his advice, so Flipkart Big Billion Days doesn’t become one of yours.

Jev can generate interfaces in under 2 seconds. Almost zero cost. I took the shadcn component library... → hooked it to a custom style md file → made some basic UI rules of popular apps using the Mobbin MCP → Jev instantly decides based on the predefined library and gives you a fully responsive composition in 1-2 seconds. Adding an LLM layer at the end improves output efficiency much better but takes aorund 8-12 seconds to generate (Qwen, Haiku)
