Hello everybody,

A good day to you wherever you are reading this. Following the most dramatic preliminary round in Movie Odyssey Award for Best Original Song (MOABOS) history, it is now time for the final.

Might the final also have some surprises and razor-thin close calls in store? As many of you know, this is the eleventh edition of MOABOS (MOABOS XI) and the tenth with participation from family, friends, and tumblr followers. At the beginning of every year, I never know whether or not this admittedly strange competition will return for another year. That it has persisted all this time – and grown – has been a personal joy. And it is not possible without all of you.

I began record-keeping for MOABOS XI when I saw Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) on New Year's Day this year. From there, I kept a running shortlist until the preliminary began on American Thanksgiving weekend. That one song from GdT's Pinocchio has survived the entire year to get to the final. Over the rest of 2023, numerous songs from various movies filtered in and out on my master shortlist, culminating into this final round.

INTRODUCTION

For those who have never participated in this before, my classic movie blog traditionally ends the year by honoring some of the best achievements from movies that I saw for the first time that calendar year (the "Movie Odyssey", in which any rewatches do not count) with an Oscar-like ceremony. I choose all the nominees and winners from each category except for this, Best Original Song. Original Song is the only category which does not require you to watch the movies in their entirety. As always, MOABOS is considered a sort of cinematic-musical thank-you for your moral support in various ways over how long I've known you for. In addition, I think it's a fun, novel way to introduce to all of you films and music you may not have otherwise encountered or sought and to give everyone a little bit of film and music history.

However, MOABOS is but a foot-deep glimpse into my much larger Movie Odyssey for this last year. There are many films I saw this calendar year that I consider much better than the ones that appear here. But did they have any original songs? They did not!

WHAT'S IN THE FINAL

This final will be contested by fifteen songs.

In a preliminary round filled will thrills and spills, some popular titles have failed to make it this far. That includes Lady Gaga's "Hold My Hand" from Top Gun: Maverick (2022) and "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin in Top Gun (1986). But there's a Top Gun song in here, even more widely recognizable than both of these songs, that will be looking to assert its frontrunner status.

Snapping back from what was the first-ever monolingual MOABOS last year, the 2023 final sets the record for the most multilingual field ever with six languages represented – English, French, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese, and Vietnamese. This breaks the previous record held by MOABOS VI (2018), which featured five different languages. After three-year absences, both Hindi-language and Japanese-language songs have progressed to the final. A Portuguese-language song marks the language's (and Brazilian cinema's) first appearance in a MOABOS final.

Two films from 20th Century Fox's Golden Age will also be contending. The first film, Sun Valley Serenade (1941), has two entries by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra. In addition to the appearance of Orchestra Wives (1941) in MOABOS IX (2021), this ensures that each song featuring Miller that has qualified for MOABOS has made the final. In addition, some big news as Shirley Temple – so often on the wrong end of the points totals in the preliminary round – finally sees a final round with Curly Top (1935).

Finally, in a round usually riddled with multiple entries for certain films, there's a distinct lack of films with two or more contenders for MOABOS this year. The only exceptions to that are, surprisingly, Sun Valley Serenade and Good Morning and Good Night (which I encountered for Viet Film Fest this year).

2023's winner will join this company (winners' playlist):

INSTRUCTIONS

Please rank (#1-15) your choices in order. The top ten songs will receive nominations; all others get "Honorable Mentions". There is no minimum or maximum amount of songs you can rank, but because of the nature of single transferable vote (the tabulation method described in the "read more"), it is highly recommended to rank as many songs as possible, rather than only one or two. Those who rank fewer songs run a greater risk of their ballots being discarded in the later rounds of tabulation. Since this rule change (first implemented in MOABOS VI in 2018), no participant who has only ranked one song has seen their choice win MOABOS. Again, this is all described in the "read more".

The tabulation method used in the preliminary round (10 points for 1st place, 9 points for 2nd, etc.) is being used for this round. However, it is used for the final only as the second tiebreaker (the tabulation method that will be used principally for the final – aka "single transferable vote" – is described in the "read more").

Please consider, to the best of your ability (these are only suggestions, not strict guidelines):

How musically interesting the song is (incl. and not limited to musical phrasing and orchestration);

Its lyrics (incl. and not limited to lyrical invention and flow);

Contextual use within the film (contextual blurbs provided for every entry for those who haven't seen the films);

Choreography/dance direction (if applicable; I know that almost none of us have a dancing background, but please do not dismiss this aspect entirely);

The song's cultural/sociopolitical impact and legacy/listenability outside the film's context (if applicable, and, in my opinion, least important factor)

Remember: you are not judging music videos.

A notice on audio/video quality and colorization of black-and-white film: Because it is sometimes difficult to find clean recordings of much of this music, imperfections in audio and video quality may not be used against any song while you are drawing up your rankings – you're on the honor system on this one. In addition, in respect to personal and blog policy, I will not provide colorized videos of films that were originally in black-and-white. You can call this snobby all you want. But to yours truly, film colorization of B&W is disrespectful to the artisans who plied their craft and made decisions based on the fact the film was shot in black-and-white. It is essentially redirecting a movie without consent.

You are encouraged to send in comments and reactions with your rankings - it makes the process more enjoyable for you and myself!

The deadline for submission is Wednesday, January 10 at 9 PM Pacific Time. That is7 PM Hawaii/Aleutian Time and 11 PM Central Time. That deadline is also Thursday, January 11 at Midnight Eastern Time / 5 AM GMT / 6 AM CET / 7 AM EET / 2 PM Korea Standard Time. This deadline – as it always seems to happen – will be pushed back if there are a large number of people who have not submitted in time. The deadline is later this year due to Christmas and New Year's being on Mondays this year.

All of the below songs can also be found in this YouTube playlist (but please note you may not judge the music video, but instead judge the song and how it is used in context).

Enjoy the music! Feel free to listen as many times as you need, and I hope you discover music and movies you may have never otherwise heard of that you find fascinating. The following is formatted... ("Song title", composer and lyricist, film title) and presented in alphabetical order (so feel free to shuffle the order!):

2023 Movie Odyssey Award for Best Original Song Final (playlist)

“Animal Crackers in My Soup”, music by Ray Henderson, lyrics by Ted Koehler and Irving Caesar, Curly Top (1935)

Performed by Shirley Temple

6th in Group B

Young Elizabeth Blair (Temple) and her elder sister, Mary (Rochelle Hudson) are living in an orphanage and are the primary entertainers for their fellow orphan girls. This number occurs early in the film and is quoted multiple times in the film's score. For those of you who despised this song's placement in those Shirley Temple DVD infomercials, I have no apologies to offer you.

For those familiar with Over the Garden Wall, this number inspired "Potatoes and Molasses" and its respective episode.

Where Alice Faye (MOABOS X's "A Journey to a Star" from 1943's The Gang's All Here) and Betty Grable may have been the two primary musical adult actresses at 20th Century Fox, Shirley Temple eclipsed both. Her modestly-budgeted movies showcased her childhood innocence and spunk, endearing her to a moviegoing public faced with the Great Depression. She was the highest-grossing actor in Hollywood from 1934-1938, and moviegoers of the Lost, Greatest, and early Silent Generations credit Temple's movies as needed morale boosters.

“Barsaat mein hamse mile tum sajan (In the Rainy Season, We Met One Another)”, music by Shankarsingh Raghuwanshi and Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal, lyrics by Shailendra, Barsaat (1949, India)

(initial version) / (end-of-film reprise)

Performed by Nimmi (singing voice dubbed by Lata Mangeshkar)

Lyrics in Hindi (translations in the CC's in provided videos)

5th in Group A

Raj Kapoor was a major director/actor in the early decades of Bollywood. In one of his first directed movies, shortly after the Partition of India, we find Barsaat. This romance tells of two love stories of vacationing city men meeting women who live in Kashmir (a disputed region between India, Pakistan, and China). Later in the films, we will find Pran (Raj Kapoor) and Reshma (Nargis) quickly falling in love. But this song surrounds the womanizing Gopal (Prem Nath) and Neela (Nimmi), whose faithful love for Gopal goes largely unrequited. After much convincing from Neela, Gopal attends a local festival – and doesn't pay much attention to this Neela-led song-and-dance number.

In the reprise, Neela has died near the end of the film. Reformed, realizing too late how horrible he has been to Neela, Gopal carries her body to her funeral pyre as the monsoon rains – as hinted in this film's very title – finally arrive.

“Chattanooga Choo Choo”, music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Mack Gordon, Sun Valley Serenade (1941)

Performed by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, Tex Beneke, Paula Kelly, and The Modernaires; danced and sung by the Nicholas Brothers and Dorothy Dandridge

Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song

Advanced directly to the final

Midway through this musical, the Phil Corey Orchestra (Glenn Miller and His Orchestra) are anxiously awaiting for their pianist (John Payne) before rehearsal for a Christmas concert in the ski resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho. He's been delayed by an unexpected detour while skiing down the slopes in pursuit of a young woman (Sonja Henie) who has been flirt-trolling him on the slopes. Phil is asked to "stall for time" by the band's manager (Milton Berle). But, quietly, Phil essentially says "screw it" and starts the rehearsal. As one of my tumblr followers put it, classic Hollywood's legacy of weird shenanigans at ski resorts continues.

Nicholas Brothers' and Dorothy Dandridge's segment feels separate from the rest of this number by design. White-owned theaters in the American South would refuse to show films with prominent roles with black actors, so 20th Century Fox structured Nicholas Brothers numbers in a way so that their dances could be easily cut for those theaters. MOABOS IX (2021) participants will recall that "I've Got a Gal (in Kalamazoo)" from Orchestra Wives (1942) and the reprise to the title song for Down Argentine Way (1940) were impacted similarly.

It's a brief, but memorable role for Dandridge in her early career. She would become one of the best African American actresses ever, thirteen years removed for her Best Actress nomination for Carmen Jones (1954).

This was the first of only two films made by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra while contracted to 20th Century Fox (RIP "Fox"). They were to make more, but then Miller decided to join the U.S. Army Air Forces (the predecessor of the Air Force) to lead its official band. Miller, an enormous musical figure of the swing jazz era, disappeared over the English Channel in December 1944. This was the first song ever to receive a gold record, and it was musically referenced across numerous Fox movies during the 1940s and '50s, becoming an unofficial studio anthem.

The city of Chattanooga and railways have and still embrace the song; localized Dutch, Finnish, German, and Italian versions of this song exist.

“Ciao Papa”, music by Alexandre Desplat, lyrics by Roeban Katz and Guillermo del Toro, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022)

Performed by Gregory Mann

3rd in Group A

In this adaptation of Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio, director Guillermo del Toro injects the tale with his signature gothic touch – moving the narrative up in time to Fascist Italy and not shying away from the original book's grotesqueness and the title character's sociopathy. This song appears as part of a montage where Geppetto (David Bradley) goes in search of Pinocchio (Mann) after Count Volpe (Christoph Waltz) abducts the wooden son. Pinocchio is performing for Volpe in part to avoid conscription into Fascist Italy's military.

“Danger Zone”, music and lyrics by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock, Top Gun (1986)

Performed by Kenny Loggins

Advanced directly to the final

This song first appears in the film's opening credits, as a number of U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcats are about to lift off from the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The Tomcats are being scrambled to address an incursion of what is heavily implied to be Soviet aircraft (and results in an exchange that should've immediately started WWIII, but the always-jingoistic Top Gun movies do not care about geopolitical consequences). The song is briefly played again for a similar scene later in the film.

“Esse Mundo é Meu (This World is Mine)”, music by Sérgio Ricardo, lyrics by Sérgio Ricardo and Ruy Guerra, Esse Mundo é Meu (1964, Brazil)

Originally performed a cappella by Antônio Pitanga; provided version performed by Marina Lutfi and Adriana Lutfi (lead vocals), Sérgio Ricardo (vocals), João Gurgel (vocal/guitar), Alexandre Caldi (winds), Marcelo Caldi (piano/accordion), Lui Coimbra (cello), Giordano Gasperin (bass), and Diego Zangado (percussion)

Lyrics in Portuguese (extremely rough translation... "Saravá ogum" is an Afro-Brazilian exclamation; I'm not sure what "Mandinga" means in the song's context, but it's an Afro-Brazilian word that either refers to an ethnic group or "magic")

2nd in Group A

In this film almost never screened outside Brazil, two separate romantic storylines – a white couple and a black couple – play out in a Rio de Janeiro favela. In the latter storyline, Antônio Pitanga plays a shoeshiner. One day, while setting up his shoeshining equipment along the beach, he sings this song – an optimistic number in hopes for a better tomorrow. Black Brazilian romance was and is rare in Brazilian cinema, and the inclusion of such a romance so prominently featured in this film makes it a landmark of the nation's film history, alongside the likes of Black Orpheus (1959; although Esse Mundo é Meu came from a filmmaking movement – Cinema Novo – that rejected the likes of Black Orpheus).

From the song's humble origins and use in the film, Sérgio Ricardo turned it into bossa nova. That's the late composer/film director himself in the provided video (the older man furthest to the left). The lead singers are his daughters.

“Hooked On Your Love”, music and lyrics by Curtis Mayfield, Sparkle (1976)

Performed by Lonette McKee, Irene Cara, and Dwan Smith

(use in film) / (soundtrack version with Aretha Franklin)

Advanced directly to the final

Loosely based on the history of the Supremes, the musical Sparkle is the story of the three Williams sisters (the late Cara as lead singer Sparkle, McKee as Sister, and Smith as Dolores). They decide to take their church singing experience to become a semi-professional group called the Hearts.

This song appears midway through the film, as the boys have dropped out to become managers and the girls have renamed the group Sister and the Sisters (I would've kept the original name). This is the debut performance of Sister and the Sisters. If you're wondering what's going on with the lighting here, that's because the cinematographer of Sparkle didn't know how to light non-white actors.

The film's original soundtrack does not contain any of the original performances. Instead, Aretha Franklin sings all the songs from the film in the soundtrack.

“I Know Why (And So Do You)”, music by Mack Gordon, lyrics by Harry Warren, Sun Valley Serenade (1941)

(initial version) / (reprise)

Performed by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, Lynn Bari (dubbed by Pat Friday), The Modernaires, and John Payne; reprise by Payne and Sonja Henie

6th in Group A

This song's melody forms the backbone of the film's score throughout. In the opening minutes of this musical, we find the Phil Corey Orchestra (Glenn Miller and His Orchestra) rehearsing in preparation for a Christmas concert they will be headlining in the mountainous resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho. The first 48 seconds of the first video are an instrumental version of Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade".

The reprise occurs near the end of the film as Norwegian refugee/figure skating extraordinaire Karen Benson (Sonja Henie, a 3x Olympic gold medalist in figure skating) and pianist Ted Scott (John Payne) find themselves stuck in a mountainside cabin. Karen, who has fled Norway due to the Nazi takeover there, has been pursuing Ted for almost all of the film, and Ted finally succumbs to her charms here – to the outrage of his girlfriend (Lynn Bari). Suffice it to say nobody should watch 20th Century Fox musicals for the plot (but refreshingly, they're not pretending to be any more than what they are).

What the heck is an Olympic figure skater doing and singing in a movie? Well, Henie was used in a handful of Fox musicals in musical numbers set to an elaborate figure skating sequence. These days, Henie's movies are largely out of print and hard to find. Her popularity was such that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) hired aspiring swimmer Esther Williams (unable to compete at the canceled 1940 Summer Olympics) as response to Fox's Sonja Henie movies.

“I’m Just Ken”, music and lyrics by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, Barbie (2023)

Performed by Ryan Gosling and company

3rd in Group B

The Kens of Barbieland have taken over power from the Barbies after Ken (Ryan Gosling) learns about patriarchy in our real world. In response, the Barbies, Allan, and Mattel employee Gloria and her daughter Sasha have manipulated the Kens into fighting each other (or, in the Kens' parlance, "beaching off") while they attempt to reestablish control. According to director Greta Gerwig, the dance segment seen here was influenced by "Lullaby of Broadway" from Gold Diggers of 1935 (1935; see the warm-up playlist I sent to many of you) and "The Broadway Melody" from Singin' in the Rain (1952).

The production design and overall look of Barbie was meant to have a sort of plastic toy aesthetic. Gerwig wanted to achieve an "authentic artificiality", injecting a sense of child's play into the filmmaking, and spiritually inspired by the production design of The Red Shoes (1948) – especially its 15-minute ballet sequence.

“Miss Celie’s Blues (Sister)”, music by Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton, lyrics by Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton, and Lionel Richie, The Color Purple (1985)

Performed by Margaret Avery (singing voice dubbed by Táta Vega)

Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song

1st in Group A

Based on the book of the same name by Alice Walker, The Color Purple stars Whoopi Goldberg as Celie Harris in her breakthrough role. Celie, forcibly married off to Albert "Mister" Johnson (Danny Glover) as a teenager, has grown resigned after a lifetime of parental and spousal abuse. Mister has a mistress named Shug Avery (Margaret Avery), who works as a showgirl in Memphis. After one stormy evening, a sickly Shug appears at Mister's homestead for the first time and, over a few weeks, Celie nurses her back to health. The two grow attached and, as tribute, Shug performs this song at the local riverside juke joint.

In the book, the romantic relationship between Celie and Shug after this moment is more explicit. Director Steven Spielberg's greatest regret over this film was not making more of this romantic relationship. Given that the movie was released at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis and in an environment where LGBTQ+ themes were verboten to the major movie studios, I don't believe much more could've been done in 1985.

“Qu'est-ce qu'on fait de l'amour? (What Do We Do with Love?)”, music and lyrics by Vincent Courtois, Ernest and Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia (2022, France)

Performed by Pomme

Lyrics in French (rough translation)

1st in Group B

This song appears at the top of the end credits of this sequel to 2012's Ernest & Celestine, which was nominated (against the odds) for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The original was, as I wrote back in 2014, "cinematic friendship at its most rewarding and profoundly beautiful." In this sequel for our dynamic mouse and bear duo, Celestine (the mouse) accidentally breaks Ernest's (the bear) precious Stradibearius violin. It leads the unlikely friends to search for an old violin maker acquaintance of Ernest's back in his homeland of Gibberitia ("Charabïe" in the original title, a name derived from "charabia", the French word for "gibberish").

A further shameless plug for all of you reading this to seek out animation that is not from the major American and Japanese studios.

“Return to Sender”, music and lyrics by Winfield Scott and Otis Blackwell, Girls! Girls! Girls! (1962)

Performed by Elvis Presley

5th in Group B

The eleventh of Elvis' 31 movies (if MOABOS returns for future editions, let's just say there's a lot more Elvis to come) and the second shot in Hawai'i after 1961's Blue Hawaii, Girls! Girls! Girls! is a misnomer as there are only two girls vying for Elvis' affections (it would be an appropriate title for many other Elvis movies). My sister thinks this film should've been titled Girls? Girls. Girls!

Here, Ross Carpenter (Elvis) is a fisherman who spends his evenings as a nightclub singer. Fellow nightclub singer Robin Gantner (Stella Stevens) and the secretly wealthy Laurel Dodge (Laurel Goodwin) are very much attracted to him. This number occurs after Ross starts seeing Laurel, inflaming Robin's suspicions, and resulting in a spat at the bar that immediately preceded the song.

“Suzume”, music and lyrics by RADWIMPS, Suzume (2022, Japan)

Performed by RADWIMPS and Toaka

Lyrics in Japanese (extremely rough translation)

2nd in Group B

This song's melody (especially the eighteen-note vocalized motif) appears throughout the film. But this version, with lyrics, only appears as the second song in the end credits. In this film, 17-year-old Suzume and a young man named Souta must journey across Japan to close a series of mystical doors. Mysterious phenomena are passing through these once-locked into our world, and are causing natural disasters.

Makoto Shinkai's latest, unadjusted for inflation, is the fourth-highest grossing Japanese film of all time. MOABOS regulars will recall previous entries from Your Name (2016) and Weathering with You (2019) – all RADWIMPS compositions. Suzume directly addresses a trauma that Your Name and Weathering with You danced around: the 3/11/11 earthquake, tsunami, and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

“Tiền”, music and lyrics by Trần Khắc Trí, Good Morning and Good Night (2019, Vietnam)

Performed by Trần Lê Thúy Vy, Hà Quốc Hoàng, and company

Lyrics in Vietnamese (translation in provided video)

4th in Group B

In this romantic musical influenced heavily by Richard Linklater's Before trilogy, indie musician Tâm (Hà Quốc Hoàng) unexpectedly forms a deep connection with Thanh (Trần Lê Thúy Vy), a rideshare driver who challenges his view of life, love, and art over a full day traversing Saigon. This song appears about a third of the way through, after a conversation about money ("tiền" means "money" in Vietnamese). Most of the numbers in this film are composed in a style suited to Vietnamese indie music.

“Trời Sáng Rồi, Ta Ngủ Đi Thôi (Good Morning and Good Night)”, music by Phạm Hải Âu, lyrics by Phạm Hải Âu and Chung Chí Công, Good Morning and Good Night (2019, Vietnam)

Performed by Hà Quốc Hoàng and Trần Lê Thúy Vy

Lyrics in Vietnamese (translation in provided video)

4th in Group A

In this romantic musical influenced heavily by Richard Linklater's Before trilogy, indie musician Tâm (Hà Quốc Hoàng) unexpectedly forms a deep connection with Thanh (Trần Lê Thúy Vy), a rideshare driver who challenges his view of life, love, and art over a full day traversing Saigon.

Have a question or comment about MOABOS's processes? Maybe you would like to know something more about a song or a movie featured in this year's competition? I'm the one to ask! If you are having difficulty accessing any of the songs (especially if region-locked) or if there are any errors in the links above or the playlist, please let me know as soon as possible.

Once more to all, my thanks all for your support for the Movie Odyssey, the blog, and for me personally over this last calendar year and beyond. However long you've known me – it has been and is a distinct privilege and a pleasure to share all this music and (at least excerpts of) these movies with you. It's my hope you find this entertaining and enlightening about cinema and the music that goes along with it. Do not worry too much about this if you cannot participate, although I will be checking in as the deadlines get close. Happy listening, and I hope you have fun!

A happy holiday season to you and yours!

PS: TABULATION

The winner is determined by a process distinct from the preliminary round. For the final, the winner is chosen by the process known as single transferable vote (the Academy Awards uses this method to choose a Best Picture winner, visually explained here):

All #1 picks from all voters are tabulated. A song needs more than half of all aggregate votes to win (50% of all votes plus one… i.e. if there are thirty respondents, sixteen #1 votes are needed to win on the first count).

If there is no winner after the first count (as is most likely), the song(s) with the fewest #1 votes or points is/are eliminated. Placement will be determined by the tiebreakers described below. Then, we look at the ballots of those who voted for the most recently-eliminated song(s). Their votes then go to the highest remaining non-eliminated song on their ballot.

The process described in step #2 repeats until one song has secured 50% plus one of all votes. We keep eliminating nominees and transfer votes to the highest-ranked, non-eliminated song on each ballot. A song is declared the winner when it reaches more than fifty percent of all #1 and re-distributed votes.

NOTE: It is possible after several rounds of counting that respondents who did not entirely fill in their ballots will have wasted their votes at the end of the process. For example, if a person voted the second-to-last place song as their #1, ranked no other songs, and the count has exceeded two rounds, their ballot is discarded (lowering the vote threshold needed to win), and they have no say in which song ultimately is the winner. No one who has ranked only one or two songs on their rankings and nothing more has succeeded since this tabulation method was implemented. I highly discourage, but do not forbid, these practices.

Tiebreakers: 1) first song to receive 50% plus one of all #1 and transferred votes; 2) total points earned (the preliminary round's primary tabulation method); 3) total #1 votes; 4) average placement on my ballot and my sister’s ballot; 5) tie declared

i watched Don (2006) recently, and spoiler: i don't like it.

this film piqued my curiosity because of the poster and in general the aesthetics, which seems quite inspired by the Wachowskis' Matrix (1999). After all, this film sets a new standard for action films.

Action films before The Matrix were power fantasies featuring macho-men and explosions everywhere. The Wachowski sisters came in with their fashionable hero(ine), their choreographed action scenes modelled on Hong Kong action films, their abundant use of slow-motion, spinning cameras and other filmmaking techniques that make Neo look cool. The quintessence of coolness being achieved in the iconic 'bullet time scene' which combines all the above elements.

so when i saw, the theatrical release poster of the film Don (2006) i wondered if it was an Indian remake of the Wachowski sisters' masterpiece because why not ? after a quick Wikipedia research, I realised that it actually was the remake of the Hindi film of 1978 and, on paper, that sounds like a great idea. revamping an action film from the late 70s with new filmmaking techniques in a post-Matrix era; that makes sense, I was quite optimistic.

unfortunately all the inventive filmmaking techniques are used just to make Shah Rukh Khan cool and every other scene is mid. After the intermission, we even abandon the green filter because apparently for the filmmaker The Matrix = green filter. like i said, The Matrix emulated Hong Kong martial arts films for their action scenes, and so did Bollywood films in the 80s. so why does Farhan Akhtar (director of Don (2006)) decides to emulate the worst of Hollywood incomprehensible action scenes. Its countless cunts which create superficial 'smoothness'. why? my little theory is that Farhan Akhtar just want to make his protagonist 'look cool' but with a very superficial understanding of what makes a protagonist cool.

in this film, Shah Rukh Khan plays a dual role: the cruel drug lord Don and his lookalike Vijay, a kind-hearted man from humble origins. but he's too busy trying "to look cool", his acting is identical whether he plays Don or Vijay. moreover, we minimize how cruel Don is because of the "coolness" of Shah Rukh Khan. his "wittiness" defuses the emotional scenes that require seriousness.

to conclude, i'm so happy The Matrix was such an influential film but unfortunately people all around the world liked it for superficial reasons. for so many people, The Matrix is just green filter and slow motion, and that saddens me.

#shah rukh khan #srk #don #don the chase begins again #bollywood #the matrix #matrix #neo #keanu reeves #the wachowskis #lana wachowski #lily wachowski #the wachowski sisters #wachowski sisters

hi!!!!!! i have questions!!!!!!

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

9. How do you find new fic to read?

30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!

Hello thank you for the ask Rowan!!!!!

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

I’m pretty proud of the different AUs in rivers; I enjoy thinking through all the chain reactions that would have had to occur for a certain set of circumstances to be in place. I’m also really happy with how the world of my Hawke/Sebastian fic is coming together, although I still need to do a lot of work before it gets someplace I’d be happy publishing (and I am impatient). The Free Marches are such a good playground!! I like the idea that Ashna’s sister is Inquisitor in this world, even though it barely comes up lol. She recruits the templars as one major change, and I like the potential mirroring of a dynamic between the Hawkes and the Trevelyans. (The more I look at what I consume and write, I really like strange family dynamics lol!)

While I'm off-topic, wedding ceremonies. Real or fictional, I'll never get tired of learning about them, lol.

9. How do you find new fic to read?

I am a very picky reader at times, haha. I usually have an idea not so much of what specifically I want to read but what kind of mood I want to be in. Sometimes I know I want like a modern AU or a specific trope, or I might have Thoughts about one part of canon and want an AU specifically about that… (ME2 Horizon...) So usually I just go on AO3 to the fandom and filter characters/pairings and explore, sometimes with specific searches. For DA in particular I love the Black Emporium Exchange collections, the rarepairs are so good!

A lot of the fandoms I want to read for are smaller, so I'll just gradually work through everything that looks interesting haha. Really often, I’ll go to authors I enjoy and check out their bookmarks; because of this, I read fandom-blind a lot and have often gotten into fandoms after reading fic, which is always a fun time (This is how I got into Dragon Age, actually! And why I’ve read so much Mad Men fic for someone who has never seen Mad Men LOL)

30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

I think I tried to stretch myself with a heart because I'd never written a continuous multi-chapter story before. Really, I took a risk with risky business; I’d never written for Zevran or Josephine before, and I was so nervous because I wanted to do it right and on a deadline. I don't know even now if I matched up to what I wanted, but with the deadline, I had to get it out there no matter what, and I couldn’t back out; that really helped. I think now when I write and I'm going over something over and over or delaying posting, I can ask myself: is it going to get any better with the skills I have, or is posting this and moving on to something else the way to grow?

Also, every time I write sex is pushing my comfort zone lol, I always post and think "oh ok, that's out there." Slowly trying to expand said zone.

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!

I’ve recently been sidetracked from all things Dragon Age, and have been bouncing between that Miranda/Shepard fic and this fic for a Hindi movie I watched a while back. (At this point, I'm getting distracted from distractions 😭) A few lines from the latter:

He thinks that as much as he wants to protect Akira, she is the one protecting him. From getting old and bitter and somehow from dying. Suddenly, he feels a hollowness inside him, the conspicuous lack of something. The lack of her body and her warmth pressed tight up against him. The lack of her voice and her incessant chatter. His life is very quiet without her. Figuratively speaking, which is another thing he doesn’t really do without her. This life is not conducive to metaphor. Her pants were too big, that’s what he remembers. They lent her the extras they had, and if they were big on Krishnan, of course they’d be big on her. She had to cinch them up, and he hates the way he feels when he thinks about it.

Thank you again for the ask!!

2023 Kick-off Travel (2 of 2)

We woke up early for the second day. Excited ako kasi eto yun trek na hindi natuloy the previous travel because it was raining sooooo hard.

Since El Union opens an hour earlier than Little Cat, we grabbed our coffe from there. Haba ng pila, walang cold brew but it will do the trick.

We travelled for about 20 minutes and arrived at the tour guide spot. Someone approached us and said that it's Php 1,500 minimum fee for 5 pax, wala pa yun bayad pala sa tricycle nya (Php 300) and others that I will share later. Dalawa lang kami so we didn't care na about the fee and continued on. Whether nadaya kami or not, it's fine... we always think on such instances that it's their source of living and as long as they do the job, we'll pay.

It was a 30 minute-ish tricycle ride to the starting point of the trek. The guide says it's 1 hour, but hindi ko alam anong pace nun mga ganon. Haha. It actually took us around 1 hour and a half, with stops for photo taking. I gained 7 kilos so it was indeed an experience getting used to this new body while I trek after 2-3 years since my last.

But, the view is so fucking worth it.

Every photo I took and the videos I had for a reel I made are filter-free. Hindi kailangan. Sobrang namiss ko yun pawis, hingal, akyat, baba, gapang... it was relatively an easy trek but because we were wearing shoes, scaredy cat ako sa dulas. LOL.

Going back, we were recommended to just take the habal-habal. It's Php 400 per person, and you need to pay for your tour guide's ride as well so total of Php 1,200. Dahil super nakakatakot yun 40-minute habal ride ... as in malala pa sa roller coaster... napa-tip kami. Kasi we survived it and buhay kami. LOL. Aside from that, may environmental fee pa na Php 60 isa.

After that, we grabbed a VERY LATE linner (lunch & dinner) at Seawadeeka. Legit Thai flavors, awesome staff. They adored Fofo so much na nun kakain na, they asked if they can take care of him para makakain kami. Tapos ayun, kinidnap nila papasok sa kitchen at pinanggigilan haha.

Share ko na din pala yun hindi planado but turned out to be quite a looker na outfit ko.

We then went to the beach so Fofo can enjoy a bit of the litter sand. LOL. Ates came up to us asking if they can take photos with him. Nakakatuwa lang kasi we adore how Fofo can also share some happiness to other people.

We then brought Fofo back to the hostel to rest. And for us to also recharge energy a bit, before going to La Kantina... again.

Love their cocktails, while the beer is husband's usual order... same sa Sarsa kasi. We got complimentary pizza.

To be honest, it still feels like a dream how much our travels have improved. Same travel buddy, but ngayon, hindi na kami about budget. We can eat and hike without thinking so much about expenses... though, sa totoo lang... hindi din naman kasi kami magastos or luxurious. We don't do steaks, or high-priced wines and we sincerely love being muddy and dirty and walking when we can.

Masaya lang ako. This is all I want in life, tbh. And while some dream of international travel - which of course I'd love too - ang dami pa din talagang lugar sa Pilipinas na pwedeng pwede pang diskubrehin.

HAPPIEST FUCKING BIRTHDAY CHAN!!!

Fair warning before you proceed. I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense because I’m literally crying over here. I’m a blubbering mess because I love you so much and all I want to do rn is squish you in the biggest of hugs but I can’t so here’s some very long emo rambling from me.

I mean, what do I even say? How do I explain in words how much you mean to me? To me, you are literally a blessing. I would be so utterly lost without you that I’m scared to even think what if I never met you on this hellsite. It only has been a bit over a year since I’ve know but what a fucking year it has been.

You literally thirsted with me over Jensen Snackles and then encouraged me to write my first ever fic and I'm so grateful to you for that because if it hadn’t been for you then I never would’ve realised how much I love writing. You beta all my fics and are always so excited about any ideas I get. You kick my self doubt in the ass and are always so supportive of whatever I do. You literally do not have to do all of this but you still do and it just makes me fall in love with you even more. It just shows how gorgeous of a soul you are.

You let me rant, cry, scream, tease and flirt with you all I want and never once judge me. Not even when I crack my stupid lame jokes. I love listening to you talk about your day and fanfiction worthy college drama. Just simply exchanging memes with you has been the highlight of my shitty days.

You also act like a twitter filter for me 😂 and I don’t think I’ll ever forget that Soldier Boy edit I made that you made me post 💀. I just hope to god nobody ever sees it 💀

I have never been the kind of person who thinks a few years ahead because I know that nothing ever lasts forever or even a few months, let alone years. But if I know one thing, if there’s one thing that I can feel deep in my bones, is that I can always see you being a part of my future. I can always imagine ranting to you, laughing at stupid things with you, flirt with you using cheesy hindi lines, going crazy over new wip ideas, thirsting over men, screaming when Taylor drops something new, telling you about stupid things that happen in everyday life.

I don’t know if you know this but I absolutely love your writing. That birthday fic that you wrote for me has literally become one of my comfort fics and I always find myself reading it every few days. It’s just THAT good and your writing is just THAT good.

You are kind, smart as fuck (just look at your college course and how well you do), funny, sassy, beautiful (i don’t clearly remember your face but i know the comment i made that made you slide in my dm’s 😏 and i still stand by it 😤), cute, so lovable that i literally want to squish you. I can run out of words but not run out of things that I love and admire about you. You’re beautiful in every aspect.

I’m honoured to know you, not only as my girlfriend, but as another human. I know you’re not good with words, neither am I, which is very funny seeing as how we both are writers, 💀 but you don’t have to say shit for me to feel it. I can feel your love and support and care for me just through a screen while being hundreds of miles apart.

I may not have all the knowledge about murdering someone and getting away with it like you, but i do know that if someone messes with you, then i bet my non-existent ass they can talk to my fists and the wall when i bash their head through it.

I may never get to know your face or your voice, but I'll love you forever. Your face and voice doesn’t matter (okay i don’t mean it like that. They do matter. Very much. Yk what i’m trying to say. Stop laughing at me being a dumbass!). I wouldn’t love you any differently than I do now. But that doesn't mean that I don't want to give you the biggest hug!!! 😩 *goes to earn money so she can visit you*

I love how we literally went from strangers to thirst partners to a writer and beta to friends to best friends to now girlfriends 😏. I wouldn’t want anyone else to have this 180k, multi chapter, slow burn fanfic journey with anyone else other than you. I just hope we only go forward from here. Fyi that means wives 😂

Thank you for making my life brighter. Thank you for making me experience that ZNMD wali dosti. Thank you for loving me in the purest way. Thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me, keep doing, and will do in the future. And these are just some of the things I’ve mentioned that you do for me. There are a million others that you do that I know of. Million others that I don’t even know you do. It’s just I feel you’re here and everything gets better. I start smiling and having hope for this shitty world. The dark parts of me brighten.

So today on your birthday, I wish you all the best things in the world. I wish you immense happiness. I wish you the purest form of love that’s right out of one of your fics (NOT THE ANGSTY ONES!!! THE GOOD, HAPPY, FLUFFY, AND HEART MELTING LOVE!!!). I wish you all the light and laughter and good health. But most importantly, I wish you zero bus accidents 😭💀

I love you. More than you can imagine. More than I can imagine.

Love

Your ‘behen’ 😒 (yes i’m never letting go of this and imma tease you till the end of times)

Abby

P. S. Here are some memes to tell you how much I love you because I’m shit at telling how I feel with words.

I almost forgot to tag you 😭😭😭

Subcontinent Superstars DIVINE and Karan Aujla Are Taking Indian Hip-Hop Global

As hip-hop spread from the South Bronx across the globe, it proved to be an astonishingly malleable artform, absorbing local sounds and filtering them through the genre's liberatory language. DIVINE and Karan Aujla, two stars who lead the burgeoning Indian scene cited by Music Business Worldwide and Luminate as one of the world's fastest-growing, embody hip-hop's life-changing potential–they emerged from rough circumstances, putting everything on the line in their quest to be global superstars.

With over 10 billion combined streams between the two of them, and a laundry list of co-signs and collaborators from every genre under the sun, DIVINE and Karan Aujla are well on their way to achieving their ambitious goals. Each superstars in their own right, they recently joined forces for "100 Million," the first single from their upcoming album, coming soon via Mass Appeal India.

youtube

"100 Million" is a triumphant moment and a collision of two massive movements in the Indian scene. DIVINE is a charismatic, gravelly-voiced emcee, striking fear into the heart of his opposition with his Hindi-language rhymes. His gully style beautifully complements Karan Aujla's Punjabi-language crooning, as he mixes microtonal melodies with rhythmic patter that would make any rapper jealous. Their flawless tag team displays an inspiring sense of unity, presenting a singular front despite differing in sound and language.

Defined by nostalgic hip-hop production reminiscent of Y2K-era Dr. Dre, in this case produced by American producer Trox (50 Cent, Cordae), “100 Million” is an anthem for those with grand dreams, the two icons reflecting on the enduring habits that propelled them to greatness. The song arrived in mid-January, with a video filmed in Dubai and directed by Karan Aujla’s long-time collaborators Rupan Bal, Dilpreetvfx and Anmol Raina. The song and video immediately became a huge success–the song reached the #1 spot of the YouTube Trending Charts in India, and reached the Top 10 in countries including Canada (#2), New Zealand (#4), UK (#6), Australia (#8) and the UAE (#8). Overall, the song racked up over 17 million YouTube views in its first two weeks, as well as over 3 million Spotify streams.

Karan and DIVINE have individually topped several charts across India with their albums and songs such as Karan's “Softly”, “White Brown Black”, “Mexico,” and “Players,” and DIVINE's “Mirchi”, “359 AM”, “Baazigar” (80 million YouTube views), and “Kaam 25” (65 million YouTube views). Their upcoming collaborative project is the first of its kind in the Indian music space and is poised to be a landmark moment in Indian music history.

With “100 Million” instantly captivating the fanbases of two of the region’s biggest stars, fans are already in a frenzy as they wait for more to drop from what is shaping up to be one of the most exciting projects of the year – stay tuned for more.

AI Copilot: Reunderstanding human-machine cooperation

Note that I am writing this article. At the beginning, the title is uncertain and the content is completely blank, but on the right side of the Edge browser, New Bing serves as a sidebar and is helping me think. An outline of the entire article.

Yes, the world we live in is quietly undergoing earth-shaking changes - AI is really here! Just a few months ago, the popularity of ChatGPT made us realize that AI has begun to deeply penetrate into every aspect of the human world. . Before that, we didn’t even realize that a silent change had begun.

That is, AI Copilot has quietly entered HE Tuber our lives and work.

What is an AI Copilot? How will it disrupt our understanding of work and life? This article will clear up this mystery for you.

In order not to fall behind in the trend of technological change, we must understand AI Copilot in advance and proactively embrace changes. Let us start our reading journey today!

Take Away:

Understand the essence of AI Copilot

Application cases of AI Copilot in different scenarios

How AI Copilot is integrated into products and individuals

1. How does New Bing understand AI Copilot?

Let’s start with Microsoft’s New Bing launch conference.

In March this year, Microsoft CEO Nadella told a story about AI helping Indian farmers at the New Bing launch conference:

One farmer, speaking in Hindi, expressed a rather complex idea of how he had heard about some government programs and wanted to apply for subsidies for which he believed he was eligible.

So this is a very complex prompt query. Technology does a great job.

"You should go to this portal, fill out these forms and you will get your subsidy."

The farmer replied, Look, I'm not going into any portals. I won't fill out any forms. Can you help me? He (AI) did it.

The model has been trained on all Indian government documents using GPT and this speech recognition software. So there are basically two models that come together to really help rural farmers in India trying to access government programs.

These things were developed a few months ago by OpenAI and people on the West Coast of the United States, and are being used by local developers to have an impact on rural farmers. It's so cool to see that.

Nadella launches New Bing, a search engine integrated with AI:

In the future, all computer interactions will be assisted by an agent, and we will have the concept of Copilot:

Injecting the next generation of search and browsing with AI and assembling it into one integrated experience, we'll reimagine the search engine, web browser, and new chat experience into what we consider to be your co-pilot for the web . Now, co-pilot is a key word as we believe in the empowering nature of AI!

New Bing+Edge browser is a next-generation search and browsing solution infused with AI proposed by Microsoft. It is also a practitioner of AI Copilot.

Let’s take a closer look at how Microsoft thinks about how search will become Copilot after integrating AI. There are four points:

1) Better search : Search is not just a tool, but a service whose goal is to help users achieve their needs and goals. Therefore, Microsoft uses AI to enable search to better understand the user's intentions and context, filter out the most relevant and valuable content from massive amounts of information, and present it to users in the most appropriate way.

For example, if a user wants to know the latest developments on a certain topic, Microsoft can automatically generate a concise summary for the user, including the latest news, data, pictures, videos and other information.

2) Not just search : Search is not only a way to obtain information, but also a platform for creating information. It can help users discover new knowledge, inspiration and possibilities.

Therefore, Microsoft uses AI to enable search to provide users with more functions and services, such as helping users create some content, such as poems, stories, codes, songs, etc., or helping users optimize or improve their existing content. For example, if a user wants to write a poem, Microsoft can generate some interesting and creative poems for the user based on the keywords or topics provided by the user, or help the user modify or improve the poems they have already written.

3) Chat is search : Microsoft believes that search is not just a one-way process, but a two-way dialogue, which allows users to establish a closer and more natural connection with search engines. Therefore, Microsoft uses AI to enable search to have natural and friendly conversations with users. It can not only answer users' questions, but also raise questions, suggestions or challenges, stimulate users' interest and curiosity, and be able to respond to user feedback or Modify to improve yourself.

For example, if a user wants to know about the life of a celebrity, Microsoft can play an interesting question and answer game with the user, allowing the user to guess the celebrity's name, birthplace, occupation and other information, and give tips or rewards.

4) Support generated content : Microsoft believes that search is not just an interface for displaying information, but an engine for generating information. It allows users to use the powerful computing power and rich knowledge base of the search engine to create the content they want. . Therefore, Microsoft uses artificial intelligence technology to enable search to support the generation of various types and forms of content, such as images, audio, video, text, etc., and to adjust the style and quality of content according to user requirements and preferences.

For example, if a user wants to draw a painting, Microsoft can generate a painting based on the description or example provided by the user, and allow the user to select parameters such as painting style, color, and details.

The reason why New Bing needs AI Copilot is as follows:

In the entire search process, about 40% of the time is spent clicking on search links and clicking back.

It reflects that we waste a lot of time looking for answers.

Search technology has not changed for many years. We enter Query in the input box, and the engine returns a list of search results to us. In " , I wrote about a concept:

Users search to get results.

The current search can handle simple results very well, such as navigation, weather, and stock prices.

But for more complex things, such as those listed at the beginning of this article: I want to write an article about AI Copilot, how should I write it?

Search engines have no solution.

Or: Recommend to me a five-day cultural tour of Beijing, where you can taste local specialties, and the cost should not exceed 2,000 yuan;

For such content, we will go to Xiaohongshu to find notes.

After ChatGPT, AI has the ability to understand and create. Integrating it into search engines is undoubtedly an imaginative thing.

Starting from user needs, AI Copilot is designed based on in-depth analysis of user search behavior and intentions . It can understand the user's context, emotions, preferences and goals, thereby providing search results and suggestions that are more suitable for user needs.

New Bing has upgraded itself from an original tool to a service!

2. Application scenarios and value of AI Copilot

Let’s talk about a few application cases of AI Copilot:

In "Reading: AI helps you quickly filter before reading" , you will find that reading can help us quickly summarize the articles to be read, saving time in content selection. If you are interested, you can also use WeChat to scan the QR code. Just start trying it out and repost the article to it.

In " " , we can see what kind of warmth the ancient need for a diary can enjoy in the AI era.

In " In ", audio and video text is refined and summarized, and AI has also greatly enhanced our work and study efficiency.

In "AI Series 06: Mid Journey and Discord Achieve Each Other" , Midjourney has also become the first choice for designers to use AI-assisted painting.

There are also articles like "Bing+GPT, creating a new search experience" , " , etc., etc., all show the significance of AI Copilot.

All needs can be rethought using AI.

As can be seen from the introduction of the above products, the application scenarios and values of AI Copilot are very broad and rich. It can provide users with more intelligent, personalized, and multi-modal solutions in different fields and scenarios. and interactive experience to help users achieve their needs and goals.

For Co-Pilot implanted products, we will continue to expand in the next section:

3. Product Principle of AI Copilot

Dario Amodei is the founder of Authropic, the company behind Claude. He said in an interview:

If AI wants to become more efficient, it must first help humans improve their own productivity , and then gradually reach the same level of productivity as humans.

Regardless of which year AI developed to the level of AGI, at the current stage, AI can be fully embedded into our work and life flow to realize AI Copilot:

Andrej Karpathy is the former senior director of AI at Tesla. This is the man that Musk has publicly tried to retain, claiming that Tesla's door is open to him at any time. At X at the end of last year, it was said that 80% of his code was completed using GitHub Copilot.

The path where GitHub Copilot takes effect is as follows:

Use large models to conduct targeted training based on the massive code of GitHub, and then provide services to help the private code part complete the work better.

Different from the currently hyped AI Agent, AI Copilot is more practical. Right Now can quickly improve personal productivity. In "The Core Competence of Creation in the AI Era: See how it deeply integrates with Claude to evolve content productivity" (5,000 words) Good stuff!)" In the article, I detailed how I tightly integrated Claude into the content creation process:

Let’s take a look at the working mechanism of Reading:

Taking a comprehensive look, we will find that the mechanism of AI Copilot is:

AI requires humans to initiate requests and then respond quickly. After humans receive the response, they can continue to advance their original processes or continue to interact with AI.

It can be seen that the core of AI Copilot implementation is human-computer interaction and collaboration . The required abilities are at least the following:

1) Understand user intent

AI needs to accurately understand the user's needs and intentions before it can respond appropriately. This is also the core reason why AI Copilot became feasible after the qualitative change that began to occur after NLP (natural language processing) developed to GPT3.

2) Generate personalized responses

Based on understanding the user's intention, AI uses generative models (such as ChatGPT, etc.) to generate targeted responses. These responses need to be personalized. For example, Xinguang will use options so that AI can be targeted according to the specific needs of the user. personalized response.

3) Continuous interaction

Embedding into the user's workflow is an important logic of Copilot, which requires AI to be able to continuously interact with people in complex tasks. In other words, it is a high-knowledge intern on StandBy 24 hours a day, and has a certain memory ability. Able to respond continuously.

4) Mix external knowledge

For a large number of human needs, AI can request external knowledge sources at any time to retrieve and learn incomprehensible content in order to better respond to human needs.

5) Ensure output quality

If the quality of AI's response is too low, there will be no way to help humans improve work efficiency. Therefore, the quality generated by AI Copilot must meet usable standards, and of course the security and compliance of the output content must be ensured, etc.

4. Will AI Copilot be added to the product?

In product design, we can think about whether, after implanting an AI Copilot, it can meet the above requirements and increase the value provided to users.

Specific judgments can be made from the following aspects:

1. User scenario requirements

This is the core: Do users have strong needs for assistants in the usage scenarios of this product?

For example, the core value of being able to read is whether users have the need to filter articles before reading.

The premise for the value of Tongyi Listening is that users need to extract text from audio and video, organize the text into segments, and refine key points during work and study.

The premise of the value of Xinguang is that users hope to get a response from AI after writing a diary.

GitHub Copilot: Do users want to get code suggestions and quickly complete code when writing code? New Bing: Do users want to directly obtain available content?

All technologies are for the needs of users, so returning to the roots and thinking is the most important thing.

2. Is the interaction mode consistent with

The most suitable Copilot at present still uses Chat to interact, so it would be more suitable if it can be implemented through text interaction, voice-to-text, etc. in the input box.

Of course, Midjourney’s new “Inpainting” function is a little different:

There is now a new button "Vary (Region)" on Midjourney. Using this function, users can select the area they want to change, enter a new text prompt, and modify the image directly with text. trim

This is an occasion that requires as little language input as possible, but for AI to clearly understand human intentions, Prompt input is still needed.

3. Degree of data accumulation

Whether the product itself has a large amount of high-quality user behavior data and content data is the basis for training AI models. Especially for vertical models, you must enter the data flywheel before you can really build barriers, that is:

There is more and more data, the quality of the responses given by the model is getting higher and higher, and users are increasingly unable to leave.

4. Openness of output content

If AI can autonomously control generation within an appropriate range, it is more suitable for Copilot, such as WPS AI, Notion AI, etc., which can assist content generation very well.

5. Business needs

After adding AI Copilot, can the product bring differentiated competitive advantages and thereby improve core indicators?

Q: How do you think about monetizing this?

Nadella: Last time I checked software, search was the most profitable category on the planet . So I just need a few more users. Everyone else I compete with has to keep all their users and all their gross margins. So there are no plans to charge for new presence.

In an interview, the host asked Nadella whether there would be a clear charging mechanism, and the answer was no. It is very clear that Bing's main business is search. As long as more users use Bing, it can make money back. After receiving the blessing of GPT4, Bing will gain sufficient differentiation advantages. And Chat and Search are closely integrated:

5. AI Copilot is added to you!

Today we have talked so much about AI Copilot and how to embed AI into products. If we regard ourselves as a product, do we also have to join the world physically?

Turn AI into your own Copilot!

The current era is the era of super individuals and one-person companies. How to use AI to amplify the original limited personal abilities and improve our efficiency is very meaningful. AI Copilot is a very effective method!

The unique value of AI Copilot has at least three points:

Improve work/study efficiency : Tongyi Listening can help us watch podcasts, read videos, and quickly review meetings, which is a very typical scenario.

Optimizing content quality : There are already a large number of prompts that use ChatGPT to produce content. Let’s not talk about those. For long articles like mine, AI can quickly and effectively help further improve the content quality.

Stimulate more creativity : Many times, manpower is limited, and the brain’s memory and imagination are lacking. AI, as an all-powerful external brain, can help us supplement it very well. Or after finishing writing, let AI help give suggestions, which can also help us check for omissions very well.

After talking about the value, you must ask me how to integrate it into myself. Here I will give you the exclusive four-step AI fusion method :

1) Understand your own needs and pain points

Recall, what is the most time-consuming and energy-consuming aspect of your own work and study? Is there any duplication of effort here?

For example, when I write an in-depth long article (more than 5K words), the most tiring part is to search for a lot of information, organize and think about the content of the information, and then consider it all to find the main thread to connect it.

This is a bottom-up writing method, based on a relatively certain topic (such as product analysis). After having a general framework, a large amount of information needs to be sorted out, and then the article framework is sorted out, and then gradually filled in.

Now it is completely possible to use AI Copilot to see what ideas the AI has. After colliding with it, you can roughly clarify the framework, and then directly fill in the chapters one by one.

AI will be very helpful in several parts here:

Tasks that rely heavily on external knowledge input, but do not have enough knowledge themselves.

Don’t know what you don’t know.

AI has almost all the information in the world. As long as you follow some fixed questioning methods (for example: you are a senior product manager in China, please help me check this outline and give me some suggestions), you can let AI assist you. us.

2) Evaluate the feasibility of AI integration

AI is also trained from the information that can be found on the market. If you are in a very unique niche field, or there is almost no information on the market, large models will not be able to do anything.

Like the product analysis written by Super, most of the time I still need to handle it myself, because there is not much content to analyze each specific product (especially niche products), which will make the AI not know how to analyze a product well, and many Sometimes I still need to think deeply on my own.

However, most workflows can be supported. As long as the input and output of the task can be clearly defined and the relationship between input and output is relatively clear, the feasibility of AI integration is relatively high.

For example, if the task is to let AI automatically generate a travel plan based on a tourist's needs, then:

Input : "I want to go to Beijing for a five-day trip during the National Day. I must go to Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, and the Badaling Great Wall. The budget is 5,000 yuan." This is the natural language description of the demand information provided by tourists such as travel time, attraction preferences, and budget. It is clear and specific.

Output : Based on this demand information, AI generates a complete travel plan including recommended attractions, hotels, restaurants, itineraries, etc. The output form is also clear.

If either input or output is not clearly defined, the AI will not know the relationship between input and output, and it will be difficult to complete interactive tasks.

3) Find matching AI tools

In "Core Competencies of Creation in the AI Era: See how he deeply integrates with Claude to evolve content productivity (5,000 words of useful information!)" I also wrote why I chose Claude as the main Copilot tool because it supports 100K long input. You can upload files, and the writing style is similar to mine, so I will choose it.

There are now a plethora of AI tools on the market, and it is important to find one that suits your needs. We can pay attention to the following points:

Functional fit

Tool model quality

Ease of use

stability

cost

Compliance

future development potential

word of mouth

4) Continuously iterate and improve the process

The knife gets faster the more you use it, there is no need for us to ask ourselves to understand AI at the beginning.

Just like when I use assisted driving, I gradually become familiar with it and become more and more aware of its temperament (such as whether the driving is aggressive or conservative), so I can decide when to use it and when to do it by myself~

We can start with simple scenes and tasks at the beginning, and slowly expand the scope of AI assistance.

You can draw a flow chart and gradually add the parts suitable for AI.

For example, I used Claude as a copilot for long-form writing. Later I found that Xmind Copilot seemed to be quite easy to use. I tried using it at the outline level. After trying it for a while, I found that Claude was still easy to use, so I returned it. .

It doesn't matter, we can keep trying, experiencing and optimizing the original process.

Finally, remember to pay attention to the latest AI technology progress. For example, I used Bing as a creative assistant in the early days of Copilot. After Claude 2.0 came out, I immediately replaced it.

To summarize, as a creator, I know deeply that the arrival of AI has broken the original content impossible triangle:

To take a step back, if you don’t pursue hot products, you can have both high frequency and high quality. If you are interested, you can read my AI topic. In the 15 days this month, I have updated 6 long articles on AI. Topic selection-,-

So, you might as well start using AI Copilot first, you will find that it brings surprises!

Water from height always flows to the lower part

Water from height always flows to the lower part.

we know this

By the way, lakes, ponds and even wells are mostly stable.

And still water may form ice but I have never seen it.

Well, while collecting water from the well of our house a few years ago, I also picked up a piece of ice.

Can well water make ice

Yes, it is common for well water to be ice cold even in warmer climates. This is because well water comes from deep underground, where the temperature is generally cooler. The temperature of well water can also be influenced by factors such as the depth of the well and the geological characteristics of the area.17 Aug 2021

well water and fridge icemaker/water dispenser help needed

susanpn15 years ago

In our new build I am going to have well water for the first time ever. In choosing a fridge, I am trying to figure out if I want an icemaker and if I want through-the-door water/ice dispenser. Considering ONLY the well water issue, what are the pros/cons in having both the icemaker and the door dispenser? Is it any different than with municipal water in terms of filters I would need to get? Would the water/ice look and taste fine or would the well affect it?

Thanks all -- this is immensely helpful! Live Wire thanks extra for the copper vs plastic pipe info. Really appreciate the advice and knowledge you are sharing. Hopefully our plumber will know that but we aren't quite there yet, although the well is in (400ft if that matters). Chefnewbie thanks too, i guess we will wait and see what the water quality is like. Mainecoonkitty I am in Vermont so we are practically neighbors -- nice to know you are so happy with your fridge and water!

Can I Get Your Service if I Have Well Water?

AUGUST 28, 2012 READING TIME: 3 MINUTESEASY ICE PROGRAM

Well water and ice machine subscriptions… This is one of those “maybe” answers.

Turning the “maybe” to a “yes” depends on what water treatment you have installed – or are planning to install. The real question is: “What is the condition of the water after it leaves the filtration system?” Here’s a quick guide to understand the types of problems well water and water filtration systems cause with ice machines. If we can work with you to solve these, then we’d be delighted to provide you with an Easy Ice ice machine subscription.

Are You Using The Right Ice Melt Near A Well Or Water Reservoir?

Do you like winters? Yes, most of us do. They don’t call it “the most wonderful time of the year” for nothing. But the slippery and icy sidewalk in winters can be challenging as it can result in dangerous slip-and-fall accidents. Therefore, clearing snow and providing safe access to the driveway for your family and visitors becomes your responsibility. One of the most popular and effective ways to get rid of this treacherous layer of ice is by using ice melt.

According to a study, 60% of American households use rock salt or salt-based ice melter products, but only 38% of them are aware of its hazards. We take generous amounts of rock salt and spread it in open areas like steps, driveways, sidewalks, etc. Some people even think that rock salt is safe to use and is natural snowmelt, which is a big myth.

How does water turn into ice?

Ice Structure

Point out that when water freezes, the water molecules have slowed down enough that their attractions arrange them into fixed positions. Water molecules freeze in a hexagonal pattern and the molecules are further apart than they were in liquid water. Note: The molecules in ice would be vibrating.21 Aug 2023

ऊंचाई से पानी हमेशा निचले हिस्से में लहराता है

यह हमें पता है

वैसे झिलों तलाव यहां तक की कुए ज्यादेतर स्थिर होता है

और स्थिर पानी बर्फ बनाता होगा मगर मैंने कभी देखा नहीं

खैर हमारी घर की कुए में मैं कुछ साल पहले पानी उठाते समय बर्फ का टुकड़ा भी उठाए थे

क्या कुए ��ा पानी बर्फ बना सकता है

हाँ, गर्म जलवायु में भी कुएँ का पानी बर्फ़ जैसा ठंडा होना आम बात है। ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि कुएं का पानी गहरे भूमिगत से आता है, जहां तापमान आमतौर पर ठंडा होता है। कुएं के पानी का तापमान कुएं की गहराई और क्षेत्र की भूवैज्ञानिक विशेषताओं जैसे कारकों से भी प्रभावित हो सकता है।17 अगस्त 2021

कुएं का पानी और फ्रिज आइसमेकर/पानी निकालने की मशीन की मदद की जरूरत है

सुसानपीएन15 साल पहले

हमारे नए निर्माण में मुझे पहली बार कुएं से पानी मिलने जा रहा है। फ्रिज चुनते समय, मैं यह पता लगाने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ कि क्या मुझे बर्फ बनाने वाली मशीन चाहिए और क्या मुझे दरवाजे से पानी/बर्फ निकालने वाली मशीन चाहिए। केवल कुएं के पानी के मुद्दे को ध्यान में रखते हुए, आइसमेकर और डोर डिस्पेंसर दोनों रखने के क्या फायदे/नुकसान हैं? क्या फिल्टर के मामले में यह नगर निगम के पानी से अलग है जिसे मुझे प्राप्त करना होगा? क्या पानी/बर्फ दिखने और स्वाद में अच्छा होगा या कुआँ इस पर प्रभाव डालेगा?

सभी को धन्यवाद - यह बेहद मददगार है! तांबे बनाम प्लास्टिक पाइप की जानकारी के लिए लाइव वायर को अतिरिक्त धन्यवाद। आप जो सलाह और ज्ञान साझा कर रहे हैं उसकी वास्तव में सराहना करते हैं। उम्मीद है कि हमारे प्लंबर को यह पता होगा, लेकिन हम अभी तक वहां नहीं पहुंचे हैं, हालांकि कुआं अंदर है (अगर यह मायने रखता है तो 400 फीट)। शेफन्यूबी को भी धन्यवाद, मुझे लगता है कि हम इंतजार करेंगे और देखेंगे कि पानी की गुणवत्ता कैसी है। मेनकूनकिट्टी मैं वर्मोंट में हूं इसलिए हम व्यावहारिक रूप से पड़ोसी हैं - यह जानकर अच्छा लगा कि आप अपने फ्रिज और पानी से बहुत खुश हैं!

यदि मेरे पास कुएं का पानी है तो क्या मुझे आपकी सेवा मिल सकती है?

खैर पानी और बर्फ मशीन सदस्यताएँ... यह उन "शायद" उत्तरों में से एक है।

"शायद" को "हाँ" में बदलना इस बात पर निर्भर करता है कि आपने कौन सा जल उपचार स्थापित किया है - या स्थापित करने की योजना बना रहे हैं। असली सवाल यह है: "निस्पंदन सिस्टम छोड़ने के बाद पानी की स्थिति क्या है?" बर्फ मशीनों के कारण पानी और जल निस्पंदन प्रणालियों में होने वाली समस्याओं के प्रकारों को समझने के लिए यहां एक त्वरित मार्गदर्शिका दी गई है। यदि हम इन्हें हल करने के लिए आपके साथ काम कर सकते हैं, तो हमें आपको ईज़ी आइस आइस मशीन सदस्यता प्रदान करने में खुशी होगी।

क्या आप कुएं या जलाशय के पास सही ढंग से पिघलाई गई बर्फ ��ा उपयोग कर रहे हैं?

क्या आपको सर्दियाँ पसंद हैं? हाँ, हममें से अधिकांश लोग ऐसा करते हैं। वे इसे यूं ही "वर्ष का सबसे अद्भुत समय" नहीं कहते हैं। लेकिन सर्दियों में फिसलन भरा और बर्फीला फुटपाथ चुनौतीपूर्ण हो सकता है क्योंकि इसके परिणामस्वरूप खतरनाक फिसलन और गिरने की दुर्घटनाएं हो सकती हैं। इसलिए, बर्फ साफ़ करना और अपने परिवार और आगंतुकों के लिए सड़क तक सुरक्षित पहुंच प्रदान करना आपकी ज़िम्मेदारी बन जाती है। बर्फ की इस ख़तरनाक परत से छुटकारा पाने के सबसे लोकप्रिय और प्रभावी तरीकों में से एक है बर्फ पिघलाकर।

एक अध्ययन के अनुसार, 60% अमेरिकी परिवार सेंधा नमक या नमक-आधारित बर्फ पिघलाने वाले उत्पादों का उपयोग करते हैं, लेकिन उनमें से केवल 38% ही इसके खतरों के बारे में जानते हैं। हम प्रचुर मात्रा में सेंधा नमक लेते हैं और इसे सीढ़ियों, ड्राइववे, फुटपाथ आदि जैसे खुले क्षेत्रों में फैलाते हैं। कुछ लोग यह भी सोचते हैं कि सेंधा नमक का उपयोग करना सुरक्षित है और यह प्राकृतिक रूप से बर्फ को पिघलाता है, जो एक बड़ा मिथक है।

पानी बर्फ में कैसे बदल जाता है?

बर्फ की संरचना

बता दें कि जब पानी जम जाता है, तो पानी के अणु इतने धीमे हो जाते हैं कि उनका आकर्षण उन्हें निश्चित स्थिति में व्यवस्थित कर देता है। पानी के अणु षट्कोणीय पैटर्न में जमते हैं और अणु तरल पानी की तुलना में अधिक दूर होते हैं। नोट: बर्फ में अणु कंपन कर रहे होंगे। 21 अगस्त 2023
