@OrenMarmorstein @Israel early, on time, or late?

This says it all. Out of 71 pages (33,526 words), the ICJ dedicated 2.5 lines (41 words) to the October 7th massacre.

@johncoogan cool kids getting cool kids tech smh

Last Friday, Apple announced that it is the exclusive new broadcast partner for Formula 1 in the U.S. ESPN is out and Apple is in. The races will be free to watch if you pay for Apple TV. You won’t need an Apple TV to watch them though, since you can use the Apple TV app on a MacBook to sign up for Apple TV the service. Reporting places the annual fee around $140 to $160M. Not bad for a niche, higher-end media property that pulls ~30M viewers across all races over a year (at least they did last year with ESPN). Now that’s just over 1M viewers per race, and for reference Apple TV has around 40M subscribers. I have two questions. First, is the Apple TV audience big enough to grow F1 immediately? And second, is there a real lift from having adjacent sports-related content that can funnel new viewers into live sport viewing? This was certainly my experience with Drive to Survive, the Netflix reality show about F1. I started watching that and after a few seasons of behind-the-scenes content edited for maximum dramatic effect, I started throwing on the actual races. I knew all the teams, the drivers, the principals, the rivalries, etc. It basically bootstrapped me into being able to keep pace with a real fan who’s been following for years (loosely). Apple doesn’t own Drive to Survive though, all they have is F1 The Movie. Now, it’s a great movie, and it actually does a great job of teaching you the basics of the sport. Will it be enough to jump from a single two-and-a-half-hour movie to watching races regularly? I’m not sure, they might need to bridge the gap a bit. Hopefully Apple picks up Rocketpoweredmohawk from YouTube and gives him a full show. A similar pipeline of funneling viewers from broad interest into actual live sports is underway in soccer. Apple got extremely lucky with Ted Lasso, which outperformed all expectations and shifted American serial dramedy watchers one notch closer to becoming soccer fans. Apple also has MLS rights, so full games are available, but in soccer, Apple already has its bridging production: Onside: Major League Soccer. It’s produced by the same team behind Drive to Survive. If the content stack works, what comes after streaming the full race on Apple TV? I was hoping it would be watching the race in virtual reality. One of the most compelling demos for the Apple Vision Pro came from BlackBoxInfinite and allowed viewers to watch races while seeing live race maps overlaid into their physical environments. This could obviously go a lot further. Fully immersive video cameras are too cumbersome to fit onto F1 cars as they race around the track, but going to stereo recording should be doable in short order. You can also place immersive video cameras all over the track, in the pit lane, and up in the sky. Allowing Vision Pro viewers to fly around the track in real time feels like an obvious future, but Apple is moving slower than molasses on this front. The only VR announcement in the F1 deal so far is that you will be able to watch the races in Vision Pro, like any other screen. No special production attention yet. Hopefully this changes. There are clearly so many amazing new technologies that could create something special between the F1 experience and the Apple Vision Pro hardware. I know the install base is still small, but Apple has plenty of capital to continue investing here, and I hope they do.

thank you, fixing

ideal to be harsh on the work and some laziness had crept in too genes absolutely matter and degrees don’t prove. yes no GA1 last night, there’s a bit more work finishing but will still be rolling out throughout week as planned through dev week and beyond the ga was the punchline to the terrible shared-it-all (layered meanings from exp) “joke” more very soon

I'm working on a thought right now that I don't quite know how to say. Saying that something is true makes it more true or more likely to become true. Unless. That's the part I'm stuck on. There's a category of phenomena that are sensitive to speech, and they change when you speak about them, and there's a category that don't. Things that get more true the more you say them: - My life is good - I like to exercise - We're winning - [X] is the bad guy Things that don't get more true the more you say them: - I am actually a woman - Genes don't determine your abilities - Having a degree proves that you're smart I'm gonna try to draw the line around speech-sensitive phenomena, but I know this thought is gonna slip away tonight.
