Years ago was randomly trying to find video of In the Heights. Stumbled on yahoo groups where these cams were traded
They had manual seeding/leeching setup. Realized it was high schoolers w/ broadway dreams, but very limited access to actual shows (not living in nyc / cost)
Love finding these niche communities on the internet. And to the lovely person who took pity on me and sent me the video of In the Heights. She added me on social later and has been great to watch her pursue her acting dreams
Broadway historically has been very hard to access
Most people aren’t able to go see shows. It’s wild to see how many are obsessed with something so few have access too.
LMM has made point that for many the scripts shows let high schools use to put on performances is biggest onbording point for most students. And LMM for both
plays has gone through lot of work to make them as accessible to schools.
being able to see productions like they’ve done with Hamilton is really a whole different level. Hope we see this done more. I don’t think it cannibalizes ticket sales. If anything improves business model

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

Cursor and Anthropic are in that great dance. They love and need each other and are totally besties. And yet both know they need to know who's the irreplaceable one in the relationship
It's the question everyone waiting to find out
the range of people liking this tweet really is sign of how much everyone paying attention to answer on this haha
do devtools make money in the fullness of time? should one lean into this time being different or bet on transition off of that?
would we buy at 10B? would we sell at 10B?
do both win? one win? none win? just msft wins everything?
My conspiracy theory is that oil isn’t dinosaurs. It’s the carbon capture technology of the dinosaurs
This is the only thing I want to believe. And makes all carbon capture tech innovation infinitely more funny to me.
Dinosaur time traveler: how do you like our gift to your generatio…sorry you thought that was *made* from my dead body. And you shoved it into your car?!?!
Lowercarbon LP letter: every day we strive to walk a little closer to the glory of the Mesozoic era
Here's chart I made for myself that I think about. Basically the only time period of US history where we've gone this long without a president winning with 75%+ of electoral college was post-civil war period
Lots of ways to interpret this.
One would be to think about what are plausible paths of someone getting those numbers in today's age. If we expect reversion to mean, than it's very interesting to understand what paths someone will cut through it.
Another interpretation of course would be to be bearish. A third
is to think party system has gotten more "efficient" at being roughly evenly split.
You might be wondering what is that datapoint of someone winning with less than 50%. Is that even possible?!?!
We're at odd ground right now where there's not really any medium for mid/long form discussion on blog posts anymore
Blog post replies not really a thing. Twitter used to be but less a place for discussion. Private email and group chat sort of the place, but issues with both
Email or spinning up something like a discourse seems like the temporary solution I'm increasingly tempted by
Latter is tempting after seeing some successes in it on protocol forums for long form. But has whole list of other reasons high activation energy
but it is very odd that there are essays I read where literally do not know where one discusses them
Most I read wouldn't be hacker news fodder anyways. But fwiw I think hacker news is not this either.
