This was also the word of the day on March 21, 2017 (http://www.haineshisway.com/smf/index.php?topic=4983.msg1123511#msg1123511).  Nothing wrong with that. :)

Well, it looks like the honeymoon is over. ::)

Over just a few months, ChatGPT went from correctly answering a simple math problem 98% of the time to just 2%, study finds (https://fortune.com/2023/07/19/chatgpt-accuracy-stanford-study/amp/)

The chatbot gave wildly different answers to the same math problem, with one version of ChatGPT even refusing to show how it came to its conclusion.

I think I'm going to miss Tony Bennett being alive in the world.  So many things I was "used to" have gone, and his continued presence was reassuring.

Truth be told, I am more of a Jeannette than a Tony, but as many of you know, that means i prefer the song "San Francisco" as sung by Jeannette MacDonald in the film of the same name to Bennett's "I Left My Heart in San Francisco".

I don't hate Bennett's song at all, but prefer the more upbeat song to the romantic ballad.

We had a huge storm last night.   Pictures on FB show some damage around my small town, including a tree in front of the parsonage of the Johnston First Baptist Church,  The tree broke in half...for the second time in the last five years due to high winds.

Given that, I would put ties on such a tree until it was strong enough to withstand the occasional wretched storm.

But, it's not my tree.  I can mourn its loss from a distance.

Folks on FB are all atwitter and atweet about "Oppenheimer".  Some are moaning over its announced length, others are complaining that they don't know what people mean when they say the movie is very long.

To me, it means that it's three hours, as advertised, but that it is intense and can tax a person intellectually, emotionally and physiologically.  That tells me there is a lot of content and much of it is disturbing.  That can take a lot out of a person.

"Schindler's List" is such a movie, but I would not be the person I am today had I never seen it.  Movies change me, some in minor ways, but others in major ways.

Apparently, "Oppenheimer" will be an IMAX experience where such showings are available.

Who here uses a B&W laser printer at home?

I've got a Brother that's been a great workhorse for several years, and it's time for a new toner cartridge. I've always bought their own brand to minimize any risk of the thing failing. This time I'm looking at the prices, and mine is still hanging in there at nearly $60 -- which is damned pricey in comparison with "compatibles" at half that, or even two-packs that are half that.

Any personal recommendations one way or the other?

Who here uses a B&W laser printer at home?

I've got a Brother that's been a great workhorse for several years, and it's time for a new toner cartridge. I've always bought their own brand to minimize any risk of the thing failing. This time I'm looking at the prices, and mine is still hanging in there at nearly $60 -- which is damned pricey in comparison with "compatibles" at half that, or even two-packs that are half that.

Any personal recommendations one way or the other?

Keith has purchased canisters with the non-manufacturer's ink.  He said they are a real pain to get them to work properly.

Canisters would be for inkjets, right?  I know those are risky.  This is a full-size toner cartridge for a laser printer.  The same risks might apply, but I don't know.

At the 10-hour mark, Paul Rudnick’s book, Farrell Covington and the Limits of Style, has gotten good. It has also gotten sad. Another recounting of the start of the AIDS era. And it’s very effective.

Always like John Heard.

Yeah he’s great in those Joan Micklin Silver films. He had some demons and his career never seemed to fully blossom. Between the Lines is on YouTube for free.

Just watched the original ending of Chilly Scenes of Winter when it was called Head Over Heels. It was happier, but not successful. Bergman could have pulled it off. But I am glad Silver was able to do something better, truer to the character, even if the original ending is closer to the book.

My dad LOVED it, of course.  He said he never thought that he'd ever get a chance to see Tony Bennett perform live.

A very special family event.

Yup.  And the we were able to get tickets for my dad's other bucket-list performer, Dave Brubeck.  Another fantastic show!

I used to live about 10 miles from Dave Brubeck. Never met him. But did hear him perform. Excellent concert.

Very cool!

I did, too! In Connecticut. The DH used to go over and see him at his home sometimes.

That's great!

You may (or may not) remember that ballet No. 30 was driving me crazy and I dumped two attempts before I settled on the third attempt. I think I posted that I suspected it would be a number I would be asked to redo. Well, Doug, the gentleman who hired me and who is also copying the scores just sent me this:
Wow, Larry! I just started No. 30. It sounds amazing!

I sleep easier now!

That's wonderful, Larry!
