You know your dogs' breeds were susceptible to enjoying fetch so you never played fetch with them. Ah yes those poor idiots who actually work their dogs for their bred purpose.

Yes, the title is editorialized and there's nothing inherently wrong with what was shared. But I do think this reflects poorly on OpenAI. They seem proud of how well Sora can create deepfakes, and share no real perspective or concern for the ethical dilemma and impact these models are already having. The marketing around Sora seems incredibly juvenile.

Maybe it's because my server is still on v.1.139.4, but I have had the opposite experience with the new beta timeline on Android. I disabled it after trying it for a week because it took so long for thumbnails to load vs. the stable version. Compared to Google Photos, any version of the Immich timeline I've tried feels extremely clunky. It's a great backup alternative and I commend the team behind it, but it is far from being a product I'd recommend as an everyday photo gallery app.

Believe it or not, most movies, television, videos begin with a text script.

We had no part in this. The blame lies squarely with Google and its employees, who trade away user freedom for profit and career gain. Many who are smart enough to know better but instead compromise their principles. It's just another symptom of late-stage capitalism.

Profit is driven by demand. It incentivizes meeting demand. Profit is not what is scarce. It's our ability to meet everyone's demand. In a reality where profit does not exist, rare disorders are still at the bottom of the list, because demand and net impact is still low.

This has GPT written all over it: "That’s not just a runtime bug. That’s a reliability risk baked into the ecosystem."

For whatever reason, it constantly uses rhetorical reclassification like “That’s not just X. That’s Y.” when it's trying to make a point.

In GPT's own words:

``` ### Why GPT uses it so often:

- It sounds insightful and persuasive with minimal complexity. - It gives an impression of depth by moving from the obvious to the interpretive. - It matches common patterns in blog posts, opinion writing, and analyst reports. ```

I think that last point is probably the most important.

His NOVA episode on the same subject is worth a watch as well https://youtu.be/Xe5AE-qYan8

I think most younger readers will be familiar through his videos on the Numberphile YouTube channel.

Well luckily we're all protected by the paywall.

Very cool. The rental part is less exciting to me, simply because I live in a more rural area. When it comes to P2P sharing, it's better to just have relationships with your neighbors and share/barter directly. That isn't to say I wouldn't use the rental feature. Just that the tutorial / diy "recipes" feature seems to have a more near-term usefulness to me, as it doesn't require proximal adoption.

I wish you luck!

Based on the title, I assumed there would be some association between rental and DIY tutorials. Perhaps showing the necessary tools to accomplish the task with rental links? The tutorials become something like an all-in-one kit. I also think you could commoditize the tutorials themselves, rather than just sourcing from YouTube. Great idea with a lot of potential!

It took me a LONG time to adjust to CPAP and now I totally agree on all points. I got hooked when I was sick with a nasal infection because of point #3 (plus it was the only thing that allowed me to breathe).

Not OP but we sound very similar. I wear a CPAP as well as a night guard. My dentist ordered me a "Max Occlusal Guard H/S Daytime" - it covers my upper teeth, has a hard outer shell and a softer lining. It's very thin and I can use it during the day (as long as I'm not talking) to prevent bruxism. I've used the cheaper Amazon ones - the ones from your dentist are well worth the cost.
