I finally watched "Sex, Lies, and Videotapes" directed by Soderbergh.
I remember I used to own the VHS too but never managed to watch it.
Well, it was a nice watch in terms of performances and direction, but the film felt dated to me. As in I don't relate to the dynamics of the characters, which reminded me of my parents' generation.
Then I thought that although it's not my reality (luckily) it's still a reality for many.
Also, the world is kinda backwards nowadays. 1/2

I literally can't stop screaming in my pillow about people who heavily rely on hashtags being dubbed "spam" by overbearing algorithms/moderation that shadowban a group of people broadly and randos with a personal vendetta (regardless whether an algorithm is present on a given social network or not)
when certain users engage in actual deceptive behavior like *checks the trending feed* claiming to give away free laptops/appliances and then not bothering to be transparent and reveal that the offer is restricted to academics living in a specific region (unless users actually click on the link and investigate the fine print further)
No better than actual spammers who post get-rich-quick schemes in the comments to multiple unrelated posts...

Hezbollah Officially Enters War Against US-Zionist Barbaric Aggression
Hezollah, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, announced that it launched a salvo of missiles and a swarm of drones at the Mishmar HaCarmel air defense site south of Haifa late Sunday into early Monday, stressing that the operation was in retaliation for the assassination of Iranian Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei and in response to ongoing zionist attacks on Lebanon. This action offiicially marks their inclusion into the war against US-Zionist gencodical arrogance. Below we publish their communqiue.
—
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
“Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought because they were wronged, and indeed Allah is capable of granting them victory.”
— Truthful is Allah, the Almighty, the Great
In revenge for the pure blood of the leader of the Muslims, His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Imam Sayyid Ali al-Husayni Khamenei, may his sacred soul be protected, who was unjustly and treacherously shed by the criminal Zionist enemy, and in defense of Lebanon and its people, and within the framework of responding to repeated Israeli aggressions, the Islamic Resistance targeted, in the middle of the night between Sunday and Monday, 2 March 2026, a salvo of precision missiles and a squadron of drones at the Mishmar HaCarmel missile defense site of the Israeli enemy army south of the occupied city of Haifa.
The leadership of the Resistance has always affirmed that the continuation of Israeli attacks and the assassination of our leaders, youth, and people gives us the right to defend and respond at the appropriate time and place.
The Israeli enemy cannot continue its aggression, which has lasted for fifteen months, without facing a warning response to stop this aggression and withdraw from the occupied Lebanese territories.
This response is a legitimate defensive action, and the responsible parties must put an end to the Israeli-American aggression against Lebanon.
“And victory is not but from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”

Mass. Democrats condemn Trump's war in Iran. Some Republicans are worried too.
Pajiba has always been one of my online go-tos, and today, Kayleigh Donaldon there has written this banger. Read it.
I still love how the Democratic Party has me on the list a mail list unfortunately but they have the wrong name.

If a problem has a geometric shape that you have good intuition about, you could of course just go with your gut and wing it.
Or you can use the amazing powers of machine learning, analyze the properties of the problem by doing ground truth approximation on a few gigabytes of data, and an hour of training a few networks later you end up with... the same answer.
But, hey, science!

in reply to Stefan Ihringer • • •@compfu nah it's pretty good in fact. It won Cannes in 1989. It's not a regular Hollywood movie, neither for the direction or the editing or even the plot. But it's still a "regular" film, nothing artsy.
Again, the more I think about it the more I like it in the end, it's just that there are some cliches that rubbed me wrong.
