typically when i arrive in a new location i send out a pulse, an electromagnetic wave that helps me "see" the surroundings. it also helps me locate nearby objects of interest to my mission, like power sources or communication hubs

Buried in Altman's post is the real story: "People are generating much more than we expected per user," using massive compute resources on content that's often being generated for very small audiences (it is, after all, a social media app). OpenAl will "have to somehow make money for video generation," Altman wrote. Translation: Sora is burning through compute costs with no offsetting revenue. Altman floated a potential solution: "We are going to try sharing some of this revenue with rightsholders who want their characters generated by users." The idea-perhaps similar to You Tube's ad-monetization program for videos that include copyrighted material -would give studios a financial incentive to opt in. "The exact model will take some trial and error to figure out," Altman acknowledged, "but we plan to start very soon."

Just saw these stills from Akira Kurosawa's High and Low and said "Good heavens" out loud.
Man peering out of a bed of flowers with a reflection shining back from his glasses. Back facing shot of a man watching sail boats from behind a fence. Silhouette of a man pulling a gun on another man as he looks at the backdrop of the mountains Mustached man gripping his briefcase tightly, face scrunched up in a scowl, as he rides in a filled passenger car.

Coyote My left hind- foot steps in the track of my right fore- foot and my hind-right foot steps in the track of my fore-left foot and so on, for miles— Me paying no attention, while my nose rides along letting the full report, the whole blast of the countryside come along toward me on rollers of scent, and— I come home with a chicken or a rabbit and sit up singing all night with my friends. It’s baroque, my life, and I tell it on the mountain. I wouldn’t trade it for yours.

mathematicians: This is the Schlüsman-Katsuhira transform. It took researchers over 250 years to discover. Only 30 people in the world know how it works.
tech artists: This is the Schlüsman-Katsuhira transform, or as we call it in the biz, "ol' Schlussy". We use it for realistic cheese textures :)

this is imo one of the most elegant results in distributed computing and this is a great presentation of it!
