CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of child abuse. Something was in the air in 1973 where people wanted nostalgia and con artists in their films. But while George Roy Hill teamed up with Redford and Newman for the utter perfection of the genre, Peter Bogdanovich followed up one classic film with another underrated gem. Nothing about this movie is particularly remarkable, save the outstanding performance by 9-year-old Tatum O'Neal. Instead, it's just an aggregate of everyone telling a really good story. I'll give you this 5 dollar bill rather than the dollar change but you can get a 20 instead as we watch Paper Moon on Have a Good Movie!

The episode covers Apple researchers' Ferret-UI Light, a 3B-parameter on-device model that interprets on-screen interfaces using a two-pass crop-and-zoom approach, positioned against reported OpenAI smart-speaker work with Jony Ive, Amazon's generative-AI Alexa rollout, and Google's Gemini integration, with Apple emphasizing privacy and local processing. Walmart is highlighted for offering free Google-backed AI training to its US and Canadian workforce (about 1.6 million employees) via an eight-hour professional certificate, with executives saying AI will reshape jobs rather than drive layoffs. Wikipedia, via the Wikimedia Foundation, blocks archive.today citing infrastructure overload from automated requests and alleging some archived captures were altered, raising concerns about archival integrity while distinguishing it from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Research from UNSW Sydney and the Australian National University finds most people—including "super recognizers"—struggle to detect AI-generated faces, increasing risks like fraud and social engineering. The show closes with Bernie Sanders urging to slow AI development, alongside similar readiness warnings from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei about rapid progress toward very powerful systems and the lack of preparedness by lawmakers and the public.

PONG is one of the longest- and most consistently circulating video games. Released in 1972, it remains at our fingertips as Android or iOS app, hosted at freepong.org and the Internet Archive, and even released as A Tiny Game of Pong for the Apple Watch. Despite its simplicity and ubiquity, Atari's PONG encapsulates far more than the history of a video game and an iconic game company. King PONG: How Atari Bounced Across Markets to Make Millions (MIT Press, 2026) is the first book dedicated to an unassuming game that changed the world. Through the prisms of product positioning, market development, and category creation, Professor Raiford Guins answers the question of why Atari's inaugural product succeeded and why it endures.The author of Game After and Atari Design, and an excavator of the “Atari landfill” in New Mexico, Professor Guins brings us a unique history that reconsiders the launch of Atari's PONG through the lens of the company's business practices. He follows the young Silicon Valley startup from its early days of positioning its new product within the existing coin-op amusement industry to its establishment of a consumer industry for home video games—a story of remarkable market development innovation. Written with a passion for video games and a historian's insight, the book animates the business exploits of one of the fastest growing and most influential companies ever. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Can strategic bombing of cities ever be justified? In the previous episode of this podcast series (E126), Col. Altieri said that the air force always considers itself revolutionary. Before I began recording, he cited strategic bombing in World War Two as both revolutionary and consistent with Clausewitz's concept of making things so painful that the enemy will not continue to resist. I responded, saying that strategic bombing of the civilian population was a war crime and violates Just War criteria. Afterwards, I thought my response might have been hasty. In this episode, I re-look the idea of strategic bombardment, not as we might see it today, but as it was believed during WWII. In any examination of history, we need to see things as they were understood by those making decisions at that time, not from our current perspective.   Music: Holst, G.

Macintosh & Maud Haven't Seen What?!

In a decade of darker, boundary-crossing films, this week's film is just under the rader for having some of the darkest undertones of all. And that's beyond the fact that it might be one of the best portrayals of sex workers on screen, refusing to judge its subject on anything but her actual character. I mean, yes she is being stalked by a violent powerful man to get murdered, but it has nothing to do with her means of income. the problem is that this movie is just plain weird, and not for any real reason. But it's worth the price of admission for Jane Fonda giving an absolutely stunning performance. Sit back and relax and fall lin love with Bree as we watch Klute on Have a Good Movie!

This week the TEH Podcast is hosted by Leo Notenboom, the “Chief Question Answerer” at Ask Leo!, and Gary Rosenzweig, the host and producer of MacMost, and mobile game developer at Clever Media. (You’ll find longer Bios on the Hosts page.) Top Stories 0:00 LN: Internet Archive to the rescue My wife is visiting my sister-in-law, and the parking brake in her 2000 Honda CRV (originally my mother’s car) froze up. The pull-lever i the center wouldn't budge. I got messaged for help. I searched for “2000 honda crv maintenance manual”. The second entry is The Internet Archive's scan of the ~1400 page manual. https://archive.org/details/HondaCRV19972000  I was able to send her images from the manual about how to access and lubricate the pull lever. This isn't the first time IA has popped up randomly to help. It's an amazing resource. 5:45 LN: What bird is  that? Another story of things coming together. My wife takes a photo with her phone (Pixel 4a) of a hawk sitting on a fence in our neighborhood. https://flic.kr/p/2rVhrLG  The photo is auto-uploaded to her Google Photos account. I grab a copy and crop it. Original is 4032×3024, so there are lots of opportunities. Not bad. https://flic.kr/p/2rVjh8d  7:00 I fire up Topaz Gigapixel AI, and, with a little adjustment of settings, upscale the image 4x. I then crop it further to focus more closely on the bird. Also not bad, though there are some tell-tale signs that this was AI upscaled. https://flic.kr/p/2rVisjk  9:15 My wife asks me what kind of hawk that might be. No clue. So I decided to try … ChatGPT. I upload the upscaled image, and ask simply, “What kind of bird is this?” Likely ID: Red-tailed Hawk (juvenile) Based on the bulky buteo shape, overall brown upperparts, the pale “checkerboard” pattern on the wings, and the strongly banded tail (common in young birds before they develop the classic red tail), this looks most consistent with a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk. We do indeed have red-tailed hawks around here. It’s interesting that it ID'd a juvenile. 15:00 Identify birds. https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/  18:00 LN: Claude Code Installed on my PC because it promised to be able to work on local data 20:00 Non-trivial install (at least for Windows – WSL, and then you're running in an Ubuntu bash shell). 21:10 Scenario 1: My Obsidian vault – all plain text (.md) files.

The Ancient Art of Modern Warfare

The philosopher of war, Carl von Clausewitz, described three legs that support the architecture of war: Primordial violence, the play of chance, and reason. Clausewitz aligned the element of chance the military. Every revolution brings unintended consequences -- the free play of chance. A revolution in military affairs, therefore, means exponential chance to affect the other legs of that trinity. Did the predicted revolution in military affairs come about?

Communism! A menace to all god-fearing Americans in the 1960s, a real travesty against society. At least that was the background that this novel and film dropped into to make a much larger point about the horrors of war and trauma. But even more than a knotty, complicated conspiracy thriller, this is a really unique film from an underrated director and shockingly talented cast…for the most part. Frank Sinatra is pulling quadruple duty here with producing, acting, cajoling studio heads, and really, really acting and it pays off in a major way, even if this was a little too weird for the Oscars.

This Day in Legal History: Treaty of Guadalupe HidalgoOn February 2, 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed, officially ending the Mexican-American War and significantly altering the legal and territorial landscape of the United States. The treaty ceded vast swaths of land to the U.S., including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of several other western states—about half of Mexico's territory at the time. In exchange, the U.S. paid Mexico $15 million and assumed $3.25 million in claims by American citizens against Mexico. Legally, the treaty promised to protect the property rights and civil liberties of Mexican nationals living in the newly acquired territories, but these promises were inconsistently honored in practice.The treaty's ratification triggered significant legal and constitutional debates about the extension of slavery into new territories, setting the stage for the intensifying sectional conflicts that led to the Civil War. It also marked the beginning of long-standing disputes over land grants and water rights that would shape western property law. Moreover, the treaty's vague wording left many issues—such as tribal sovereignty and citizenship—unresolved, leading to future litigation and policy struggles.The treaty was signed in the town of Guadalupe Hidalgo, near Mexico City, and ratified by the U.S. Senate in March 1848. It remains a foundational document in U.S. legal history, frequently cited in discussions of land rights, citizenship, and the limits of treaty enforcement.Our first story today is a bit off topic.In today's digital world, every click, swipe, and login happens under a legal regime you didn't negotiate—Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, and community guidelines that quietly shape your rights and obligations online. These documents form a system of private lawmaking, where companies act as legislators, drafting rules users must follow, often with little recourse or transparency. You don't sign them, but courts often treat them as binding contracts. Clauses about arbitration, content ownership, surveillance, and data sharing carry real legal weight. Yet these terms can change overnight, unilaterally, and without notice.TOSTracker was created to bring transparency to this ecosystem. It's a non-commercial research tool that tracks and archives the evolution of digital contracts over time. With over 150 companies and nearly 250 historical versions of key documents thus far, TOSTracker offers timestamped, hash-verified, and citable records of how these texts change. It provides full version histories, detects redlines at the word and section level, and supports programmatic access through an API. Whether you're studying arbitration creep, GDPR compliance, or how moderation rules evolve, TOSTracker gives you the empirical backbone to do it.All content is normalized and archived via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, with cryptographic hashes ensuring document integrity. Importantly, it doesn't interpret the law—it captures the text and structure so you can. For legal researchers, privacy advocates, and anyone concerned with digital governance, this is a window into how private law is made, revised, and enforced online. It's not a product; it's a dataset, an archive, and a call to look more closely at the legal architecture of everyday tech.We're also actively seeking contributors to help expand the archive. If you come across a consumer-facing legal document—like a Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, community guidelines, or EULA—that isn't already tracked, you can submit it directly through the site. This includes documents behind logins, from smaller platforms, or covering underrepresented industries and regions. Submissions help close coverage gaps, diversify the dataset, and improve the foundation for legal research into how digital rights are defined and redefined over time. Your input directly supports transparency in an area where the law is often invisible.Check it out at tostracker.app if your research overlaps with digital contracts, user rights, or the evolving boundary between public law and platform governance.The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has sent warning letters to 42 major law firms over concerns that their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring practices may be anticompetitive. The FTC emphasized that firm-wide agreements to meet diversity benchmarks—particularly those tied to programs like Diversity Lab's certification—could unlawfully restrict competition in the legal labor market by influencing hiring, compensation, or promotions. These letters arrive amid a broader rollback of DEI initiatives under President Donald Trump's administration, which has eliminated related programs in government and targeted private sector efforts.Firms such as Paul Weiss, WilmerHale, Perkins Coie, Skadden Arps, and Latham & Watkins—some of which had previously been challenged by Trump-era executive orders—are among those named. Some reached compromises with the White House, offering pro bono legal work in exchange for eased scrutiny, while others fought and won legal challenges against the orders. The FTC's scrutiny centers on participation in Diversity Lab's voluntary DEI certification, which encourages firms to ensure at least 30% of leadership candidates are from underrepresented groups. Though previously upheld in court as non-discriminatory, the FTC now frames such collective DEI practices as potentially violating competition law.US Federal Trade Commission warns law firms about DEI hiring | ReutersImmigrant rights groups filed a federal lawsuit in Boston challenging a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy that allows agents to enter homes without judicial warrants. The suit, brought by the Greater Boston Latino Network and the Brazilian Worker Center, targets a May 2025 memo—recently revealed via a whistleblower complaint—that permits ICE officers to use administrative warrants instead of warrants signed by a federal judge. These administrative forms, issued internally by the Department of Homeland Security, were previously insufficient for home entries under longstanding practice.The plaintiffs argue that using such warrants for home arrests violates the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. Legal advocates claim the policy removes a crucial constitutional safeguard just as ICE ramps up enforcement tactics in states like Minnesota, where multiple recent actions have already been deemed unlawful by judges. The lawsuit comes after fatal incidents in Minneapolis during anti-ICE protests, intensifying scrutiny of federal immigration operations.ICE officials defend the policy, asserting that individuals subject to removal have already received due process. However, the lawsuit challenges that rationale, pointing out that due process does not override constitutional protections against warrantless home intrusions.Lawsuit challenges ICE ability to enter homes without warrants from US judges | ReutersFormer CNN anchor Don Lemon is facing federal charges over his role in covering a protest at a Minnesota church opposing President Trump's immigration crackdown. The protest, which disrupted a church service in St. Paul on January 18, was livestreamed by Lemon and targeted the church because one pastor was allegedly also an ICE official. Lemon was arrested by the FBI, spent a night in custody, and appeared in court where he confirmed he plans to plead not guilty. He and six others, including independent journalist Georgia Fort, were indicted under laws prohibiting obstruction of access to houses of worship—a legal framework typically used against abortion clinic protests.Free press advocates and constitutional lawyers are raising concerns about the charges, framing them as part of a broader pattern of the Trump administration targeting critics, including journalists. Lemon's attorneys argue this is a political prosecution meant to suppress press freedom and distract from ongoing crises. In the archived livestream, Lemon is seen documenting the protest rather than leading it, further fueling First Amendment concerns. The DOJ's case hinges on a controversial interpretation of laws rarely, if ever, used to prosecute journalists for protest coverage after the fact. Legal experts say there is no clear precedent for the charges, and press freedom groups are warning of escalating threats to constitutional protections.Ex-CNN journalist Don Lemon faces Minnesota protest charges | Reuters This is a public episode.

Den 1 februari 1713 stormade tusentals osmanska och tatariska soldater ett svenskt läger i det som idag är Transnistrien. Mitt i stridens centrum stod en sotig och blodig Karl XII, beväpnad och omgiven av en liten skara karoliner i desperat kamp mot övermakten.Kalabaliken i Bender under det stora nordiska kriget började som en diplomatisk kris, utvecklades till en våldsam konfrontation – och myntade ett nytt svenskt ord: kalabalik. Vad som skulle ha varit en kontrollerad eskort hem för den svenske kungen, förvandlades till en katastrof för både svenskarna och deras värdar. Kalabaliken i Bender formade bilden av Karl XII som en envist okuvlig monark – i Osmanska riket kallad Demirbaş, ”Järnhuvudet”.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu Premium samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Olle Larsson som är aktuell med boken Kalabaliken i Bender.

I utkanten av staden Bender vid Dnjestrfloden beviljades han asyl av sultan Ahmed III och slog sig ned i vad som kom att kallas Karlopolis – en slags svensk koloni i byn Varnitsa.Trots exilens till synes säkra förhållanden blev Karl snabbt ett politiskt problem för osmanerna. Istället för att återvända till Sverige eller sluta fred, pressade han sultanen att gå i krig mot Ryssland. Under flera år försökte han övertyga Osmanska riket om att inleda ett gemensamt anfall mot tsar Peter I, tillsammans med Sverige och Krimkhanatet. Medan kungen väntade, växte frustrationen i Konstantinopel – både över kostnaderna för hans uppehälle och hans envisa diplomatiska agerande.Karl XII:s vägran att återvända hem, i kombination med hans aggressiva krav på militärt stöd, gjorde honom till en belastning för sultanen. När han inte accepterade erbjudandet om eskort hem – av rädsla för att bli utlämnad till sina fiender – fattade den osmanska ledningen beslutet att använda tvång. Seraskern i Bender fick order: kungen skulle gripas, men inte dödas.Karl, som fått kännedom om planerna, vägrade ge efter. Han lät befästa sitt läger och förberedde sitt lilla följe – omkring 1 000 karoliner – på strid. Hans trotsiga svar till sultanen var karaktäristiskt: om de inte gav sig av, skulle han "sveda eller skära skägget av dem". Situationen var laddad till bristningsgränsen.På morgonen den 1 februari 1713 inledde den osmanska styrkan sitt angrepp. Uppemot 10 000 turkiska och tatariska soldater omringade det svenska lägret och genomförde ett våldsamt stormanfall. Vad som var tänkt som en disciplinerad insats förvandlades snabbt till ett tumultartat slagfält.Karolinerna försvarade sig tappert från sina provisoriska befästningar, men var både numerärt och materiellt underlägsna. Inne i kungshuset försvarade sig Karl XII personligen, beväpnad, sotig och blodig. När han till slut omringades och tillfångatogs, fördes han till seraskerns residens. Trots sin fångenskap vägrade han visa underkastelse och lär ha yttrat det hånfulla ”Bravo! Bravo!” när han erbjöds en plats på en divan.Bild: Karl XII förs bort som fånge till Bender efter kalabaliken, med det brinnande kungshuset i bakgrunden. Målningen skildrar dramatiska slutscener ur Kalabaliken i Bender 1713, där den svenske kungen tvingades kapitulera efter flera års exil i Osmanska riket.Musik: Björneborgarnas marsch med Muntre musikanter, Internet Archive, Public DomainMålning av Allan Egnell (1884–1960), olja på pannå, 29×52 cm.

Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1930 film All Quiet on the Western Front. I'm joined by Kyle Wilson from the Oscar Chaser newsletter and we talk about the challenges of making a film about WWI from the German perspective in the United States, how many of the greatest war movies are about what war does to a person and how they deal with going back to normal life after what they've seen in war, and how this film doesn't shy away from so many of the grisly realities of warfare. You can watch All Quiet on the Western Front online at The Internet Archive, Tubi, or rent it from Amazon, or pick up a DVD copy for your collection. And be sure to check out Kyle's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:The Talented Mr. Ripley directed by Anthony MinghellaThe English Patient directed by Anthony MinghellaKing Kong (2005) directed by Peter JacksonThe Lord of the Rings (trilogy) directed by Peter JacksonPhiladelphia directed by Jonathan DemmeSilence of the Lambs directed by Jonathan DemmeSaving Private Ryan directed by Steven SpielbergThe Best Years of Our Lives directed by William WylerBand of Brothers (series)The Divorcee directed by Robert Z.
