Champagne-like beers, trappist beers, darker Kellerbiere... anything goes, honestly. Here's a few things I believe about beer in particular: - if it is allowed to be sold, it's usually going to be okay and the only thing that matters at that point is how well it sells. Which is a massive benefit in this case: niche beers will get hidden away during storage and accumulate some pretty severe faults. It won't make you sick, but you definitely get flat, weird, murky aromas - popular beer is practically guaranteed to be fresh and that's about the most important thing - most breweries are consolidated under the big beer conglomerates: Anheuser-Busch InBev, Molson Coors Beverage Company, Heineken N.V., Carlsberg Group, Constellation Brands, Constellation Brands (Corona, Modelo), Asahi Group Holdings. Which also means that 99 % of beers, even in famous countries like Germany or the Czech Republic, are surprisingly the same... at least the regular export, pilsner, and hell variations. It's not something I lament, there is only so much you can do before your drink turns into a gimmick; that being said, most people claiming preference for one type over the other usually won't come close to nailing a proper blind taste test. - which, in turn, means we're dealing with lots of silly beer memes, still: "light beers are weak and taste like ass," "american beer is bad..." - and then you got the popular cheap brands, like Pabst or Oettinger or Yanjing/Beijing Pijiu... they'll all taste the same once you're a tad sloshed and chugging them cold. Beer is great, beer is pretty consistent, and the outliers are really great, too. Yay for beer.

Also: Why-enn-shteph-unner Heeeh-feh-wai-tsenn Try pronouncing it like that, I'd totally be down for you to just pick a couple of viewer-submitted transliterations in any given language and try them out that way. I spent an entire Chinese wedding teaching kids some foreign swears by approximating them using mandarin phonemes, people really get a kick out of these games lol. Really blasted me right back to the past with that bit haha

Since you were so enthralled by instant proofreading: we already got that with LLMs. In fact, in terms of translation and language any GPT-4 subscription will get you incredibly far, declension, example sentences explaining usage, best practices... conventional translation as a job died more than a year ago, and that is hardly exaggeration, considering you're, at best, getting hired for quality control at this point. You truly can just chuck your text into an applet and immediately have it get rid of errors most humans wouldn't really notice. Or, if you're coding, (or would like to code in a much more abstract fashion) - you can do that with Claude 3.5 Sonnet and artifacts, pretty much endlessly without it loosing track like the models that came before. 20 bucks a month is nothing against the absurd productivity increase, you could stomp out a basic database tracking your Patreon library on a separate site in no time at all. It was kinda of obvious we'd be making lots of progress, but seeing it happen in real-time still is so surreal... and Her definitely feels very prescient, at least for the time being.

To one of the question when I was a young stud my favorite beer was the Modelo, but Corona popped my Cherry.

I’ve been a fan of Scarlett Johansson since Lost in Translation, but this is my favorite role. Brilliant performance.

A shamefully forgotten and underseen Joaquin Phoenix movie is Quills. The rest of the cast is also stellar, with Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet and Michael Caine.

Jonas Buckner

That guy played the Joker.

I'm so glad you guys enjoyed this -- it's one of my favorite movies, and I found it so poignant and unique and beautifully written. George, I don't think it's so much about visualizing Scarlett the actress that makes her voice work, but rather that her voice is so warm and scratchy and soft, she really feels human and real. My favorite thing about this is how gentle it is -- it's just such a smart exploration of what it means to be human, what it might be like to be in love with an AI, and how that would impact us positively and negatively. I also think the movie demonstrates how easy and natural it is for human beings to personalize things. I can very easily see lonely people falling for their AIs. Heck, I get overinvested in RPG videogame romances, I'd fall flat for an AI with a warm and supportive voice in 3 minutes flat! Spike Jonze used to be married to Sofia Coppola, so it's interesting to see each other in their work -- to see Sofia in this portrait of marriage, for instance, and to see Jonze in her portrait of marriage in "Lost in Translation," etc. Jonze is genuinely poetic writer/director -- I never watched "Jackass," but he did a beautiful job directing this and "Where the Wild Things Are" especially. He won Best Writing, Original Screenplay Oscar for this movie (it was also nominated for Best Picture, Score, Production Design, and Original Song). My one quibble with the movie is whether Theodore would be legally allowed to publish that book of letters -- and if he did, would it hurt the people involved? Did the recipients know their letters were written by someone else? Are they okay with having such private details about their lives and loves published publicly? Shouldn't Theodore (or Samantha) have gotten the permission of the "letter-writers" and "letter-receivers" before publishing them? And doesn't the greeting-card/letter company own Theodore's work on the letters to begin with? (Sorry, this is the way my brain works.) But it's a lovely little movie, and it always makes me think. Thank you for the reactions!
