    I ❤️ the #DarkTower (2017).

    It's one of those sci-fi or fantasy based films, in which a kid or younger person is cast as a hero or cohort, that just appeals to me, much like:

    #EndersGame (2013)
    #TheLastAirBender (2011)
    #SorcerersApprentice (2010)
    #BulletProofMonk (2003)
    #TheForbiddenKingdom (2008)

    None of which are great movies from a film making POV but are movies that I find very entertaining nonetheless.

  5. I remember seeing several presentations in actuarial mathematics lectures that mentioned such things, and which were heavily criticized... The response was always “yes, but it's a theoretical exercise”... I never would have believed that insurers would take the plunge and implement such dangerous ideas... #sorcerersapprentice

  6. Yay! Third time lucky. Having run one pot for 12 hours with five capsules, I then transferred it to eight pots (using well-sterilised milk, cream and potato starch). No rancidness, just a slightly sweet smell. I only warmed the eight pots for 24 hours, so it's still a bit liquid, but I was too worried about colonisation by the baddies. Anyway, next time I'll use stuff from this batch with a couple of capsules and go direct to eight pots.

    The yellow colour is from the saffron in the capsules.

  7. CW: Long thread/5

    This is sometimes called the #AlignmentProblem. High-speed, probabilistic systems that can't be fully predicted in advance can *very* quickly run off the rails. It's an idea that pre-dates AI, of course - think of the #SorcerersApprentice. But AI produces these perverse outcomes at scale...and so does capitalism.

  8. Had a brief reprieve for a short ad for Sensodyne Toothpaste and it felt like watching “Citizen Kane” in comparison

  9. I’m sorry but this kid is not cool enough to be wearing his hat backwards.. even by 2001 standards

  10. There’s one positive about this movie: everyone’s hair pieces are firmly glued in place
