Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 16hDry Claude, sure. Wet Claude would want to know what kind of psychosis you had in mind 110
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 03/10/2026Last night was A Man for All Seasons, which was great. As is usual, Molly had the best observation about it, which was: "Did we just watch a legal thriller?" 030

Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 02/10/2026Man, really? Re: your kid. That’s really surprising to me. Obviously I believe it, though. Maybe you’re right! Hard to imagine the idea separated from HP, admittedly. 120
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 02/10/2026I mean it would have to be something with a bildungsroman element I guess is my more considered answer. Superwholock was the wrong shape imo 110
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 01/10/2026I don’t know the context for this, but I have done a three-day road trip with a cat, traveling with a litter box, and it went just fine. 000

Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 26/09/2026He was 25?? Orson Welles wrote, directed, and starred in Citizen Fucking Kane when he was twenty-five years old???? 3140

Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 26/09/2026I’m retroactively proud that one of my favorite stanzas in the Editorial Trochee Sequence includes, arguably, two Orson Welles shoutouts in a row, since Maurice Lamarche’s Brain was a heavily Welles-inflected performance 040
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 26/09/2026We watched that one just a few nights ago! It’s what made me want to watch Kane! Likewise holy shit Third Man!! 020
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 26/09/2026Imagine getting a boyishly conspiratorial smile from a young Orson Welles, like you and he are the only two people in on the grand joke of civilization 3140
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 26/09/2026We watched Citizen Kane last night; it was my first time seeing it. Unfortunately I’m going to be obsessed with Orson Welles for a while, we regret the disruption of whatever else I was doing here 4230

Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 25/09/2026Something like OpenAI’s full-duplex voice/audio model(s) but with a visual component. I’d consider this met either by a diffusion model doing video or via a model controlling a rigged character in a real-time, “streaming” way (so not just an LLM triggering canned animations) 120
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 25/09/2026My first couple of years of college, there were still a few text-only CRT terminals in use at the library for patrons to search the catalog with. Some of them even had dot-matrix printers you could use to print off a copy of your search results. 010
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 25/09/2026I’m pretty sure he responded with a polite “no” and probably a couple of the many many reasons why that wasn’t going to happen 120
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 25/09/2026It ran VMS, and I recall sending the system administrator, Jim, an email asking if he would consider switching to Unix because I knew Unix was cool and wanted to learn how to use it 110
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 25/09/2026It was a DEC Alpha of some kind. The rumor was that its RAM loadout was an incredible SIXTY-FOUR of God’s own megabytes 130
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 25/09/2026It’s nuts that my first computer programming experience was on text-only terminals connected to a central shared. Even at the time (mid-90s) that was a pretty unlikely setup for a high school computer science class to be using. 120
Paul Starr @pa.ulst.ar · 25/09/2026I feel complicated about the issue but I do think think this doodle from years ago would make a good laptop sticker 1252
