A friend of mine had a reviewer suggest 5 references to include. All 5 had one author in common. 🤔

Think the person who posted that is Daniel Litt, math prof at UofT. Good follow on twitter, lots of little math related humour, and he posts some fun probability problems sometimes.

Feel weird correcting a meme, but that should be f(x)-L where x is between x_0 - delta and x_0 + delta. As written it looks like a definition that would only work for monotone functions.

Had a total braindead moment, I even watched that Jaws release lol.

Scanning (and fixing) prints is gonna be relatively costly, so I totally get if they want to use the upscale pipeline for random slop. But doing it for Jaws seems kinda crazy. Like Hollywood does not give a fuck anymore.

Wait why are they upscaling? It’s from the 1980s so they should have film prints? Are they working from like a 2k DI made for the bluray releases?

Is that supposed to be an emptyset or very pretty curly braces?
Either way: me too, thanks.

- Comment on Christopher Nolan Says Buy ‘Oppenheimer’ on Blu-ray ‘So No Evil Streaming Service Can Come Steal It From You’: ‘We Put a Lot of Care’ Into Home Release 1 year ago:
The quality of a regular bluray is much better than streaming for the most part! Bitstarved content sucks and I really hope discs don’t die out.
- Comment on Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’ 1 year ago:
That’s not really true though, we’re forgetting this now because covid really shuffled things, but it was getting impossible for anything lower budget than a blockbuster to get screentime because of how many screens were contractually obligated to Disney and Marvel. They had really insane power for a few years, after all if you don’t show their movie almost exclusively for an extended period they might not let you show it at all.
Something like the Irishman probably had a better shot dealing with indie theaters that normally oscillate between playing cult classics and the festival scene movies than with multiplexes.
