A while back, I built an app to solve Wordle using simple information theory. My family banned me from playing because it “isn’t in the spirit of the game.” I’d argue it’s perfectly fair, anyone can do it.
This site collects projects like that: the things I build, the problems I find interesting, and other fun ideas.
If the film studio wants a massive audience, they make the “5-star version” of a movie designed to appeal to the 50th-percentile of movie interest (eg the Marvel Cinematic Universe). If they want status and critical acclaim, they make the 95th-percentile “vibe” movie.
No notes. Generalists, those who take an interest in many art forms, are stuck. They want more meat on the bone than a movie made for the 50th percentile gives and aren’t so steeped in cinephilia as to appreciate the 95th percentile Oscar nominees.
