It seems to me that the breakthrough claim was a desperate attempt of OpenAI staffs to get their beloved boss back to OpenAI. If anything it most probably will be incremental things rather than a breakthrough but definitely not a bad things but just call a spade, a spade [1]. Ironically the breakthrough happened somewhere else in Google and for some unknown reasons as of now, Google has missed the boat of commercializing its very own invention.

Personally I have been recently have been using the ChatGPT-4 on a daily basis, and I considered myself a long time and ardent user of Google products (mainly search) for the past two decades. However it becomes increasingly frustrating for the past several years since it is getting more difficult to perform "search that matters" (going to trademark this motto). What frequently irked me the most is not when doing random or targetted search with Google, is when looking for something that you discovered previously but it's forgotten and apparently it does really matter now. It was quoted that about 10% of our time looking for items that we lost or misplaced, and the same can be said to our acquired knowledge and information. Some times we crave so much for the knowledge or the info we had but very difficult or impossible to recall. ChatGPT-4, in particular the online search with Bing feature, is extremely useful in this regard but at the same time is very limited since it is not a well supported features with many failed attempts, perhaps due to limited online data scrapping capability, and thus sub-par results. This specific feature, I call it search that matters, is like Google search with steroid and the fact that Google, with its Deepmind subsidiary, failed to utilize and monetize on this opportunity until now is just beyond me. If ChatGPT, call it ChatGPT-5 if you like, can perform this operation intuitively and seamlessly it will be a game changer but not a breakthrough. Apparently according to ChatGPT-4 you can have a game changer not a breakthrough.

The breakthrough, however, is to fundamentally improve AI or LLM itself as mentioned by Stephen Wolfram in his tutorial article on ChatGPT, not merely enhancing its existing operations [2]:

When it comes to training (AKA learning) the different “hardware” of the brain and of current computers (as well as, perhaps, some undeveloped algorithmic ideas) forces ChatGPT to use a strategy that’s probably rather different (and in some ways much less efficient) than the brain. And there’s something else as well: unlike even in typical algorithmic computation, ChatGPT doesn’t internally “have loops” or “recompute on data”. And that inevitably limits its computational capability - even with respect to current computers, but definitely with respect to the brain.

This isn't how tax write-offs work. The expenditures in the production of a film or TV series are always deducted from taxable net income regardless of whether the final product is released or not.

There are a plethora of reasons not to release a creative work. For example, you don't want to spend any more money on music licensing, editing, marketing, etc, that is unlikely to be recouped.

"Tax write-offs" simply isn't one of them

The legal system in the U.S. isn't based on some Hobbesian philosophical notion of "rights," even if the Founders were inspired by it. It's based on interpretations of how our rights, enumerated in law or a Constitution or otherwise, may or may not have been violated under the circumstances of a case.

I really don't think this has been legally established, especially not in the case that AI is being used in conjunction with a copyright base image that it uses as a scaffold. It's incredibly hard to see the result as anything but a derived work of the original and being copyright by the author of the original in a similar way to applying a digital filter would.

The courts will sort out the boundaries of copyright here, but I'll eat my shorts if it's as extreme as the "all things that come out of AI are public domain" crowd thinks.

I paid for the YouTube premium that came with the old Google Music subscription, and the problem was it regularly showed ads anyway, especially in the kids stuff.

So then we still needed ad-blocking, which broke Google in a way that it tried to show even more ads (ad blocking probably disrupting the ability to track a 'premium' user/client).

So we're back to relying completely on ad-blockers, and have completely cut out any Google or YouTube sourced content for the kids.
Yes, I do think it's a good way, at least for intermediate technical roles. The amount I learned building a side project was staggering. I felt so invested in getting to good solutions and had so little technical debt fettering me that I learned 24/7. My knowledge grew more with this project than it did in college + three years of post-college work.

I built Streamus (https://github.com/MeoMix/StreamusChromeExtension). It was a Google Chrome Extension that turned YouTube into a tab-free music player/playlister. It grew to 300k MAU by advertising organically through Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/2sypcn/seven_months_...)

I ended up becoming part of the Backbone Marionette organization on GitHub (they were the frontend framework I used to build it prior to React existing), I learned how to write, manage, and scale a full-stack application, and being able to cite the success of this project kept doors wide open for me when applying to future employers.

My next job after Streamus was joining a remote, profitable, bootstrapped startup with a team of ~40 people, had equity the company, and the company sold for 9 figures half a decade later.

A++, would do again in a heartbeat, no regrets - even though the project itself was shut down by YouTube's lawyers once it grew popular enough.

Nix is the "worse is better" approach, it's just symlinks and environment variables and bash scripts under the hood. (Not even a single container in sight!)
No, though you could use Firecracker to launch a Mirage (or any other) unikernel.

Basically from the bottom up the stack is:

1. Hypervisor (e.g., KVM, Xen, Hyper-V), runs directly on the hardware
2. Virtual Machine Monitor (e.g., QEMU, Firecracker), running on the host's user-space (say Linux) and in charge of starting/stopping/managing VMs and interacting with the hypervisor
3. Virtual machines, eg, a Linux VM running an NGINX web server.

(the above is simplified because there are differences between type-1 and type-2 hypervisors, but those diffs would make this message too long)

A unikernel is actually a virtual machine, just a very specialized one that doesn't use a general-purpose OS underneath. They tend to use library OSes, so that it's possible to choose libs that are appropriate to each app at build time.

And while we're at it :) , a MicroVM is nothing more than a standard VM (e.g., based on Linux) launched/managed via a fast/modern VMM like Firecracker.
Everybody’s experience is different, that is not unique to THC or CBD. Most psychoactive medications are the same way with doctors cycling patients through different medications and dosages based off the patients experience.

Personally I was prescribed Celexa and had an extremely adverse reaction involving an inability to sleep properly and terribly lucid dreams. However, Lamictal worked great for a quite a while until it was priced out of my reach.

For some, 10mg of THC as needed, typically every other night, works well and is cheaper with less side effects.

When the workspace and the staging area aren’t in sync, the differences cannot be tested because the compiler doesn’t know how to deserialize the .git/index blob. The workspace is stored as normal source files, and committing those would be better.
> do we create things that consistently work differently tquadraticallyhan people's intuition?

I don't know if this is true of git, but in general we have a disease called, "solving problems we don't have". I don't mean the YAGNI issue, or people trying to talk others out of doing engineering because the current masochistic process is good enough.

I mean the impedance mismatched caused by taking a concrete, physical problem, translating it into a domain that looks nothing like the problem you're meant to solve, and then tweaking how the fiction works so that it fulfills the requirements.

A few wise people have warned me off of this strategy over the years, but there's not nearly enough ink spent on this topic. This impedance mismatch gets worse over time. They asked for X, and you gave them Y, so when they ask to refine X into X + 1, it gets a little harder each time. The complexity goes up and you find confused product owners asking for what should be a simple change and getting tremendous pushback that smells a lot of deflection.

Meanwhile because users think the system works one way, they expect it to behave in certain ways and constantly get rudely surprised by how it actually works.

Again and again in my career, I've found that a lot of performance problems are obscured by accidental complexity and/or X-Y problems, and once you know the task you actually need to perform, and write the code to solve the actual problem instead of an analog, everything becomes clearer. A mix of determinism and pre-determinism (static calculation) makes for a much faster system without sacrificing legibility in the process.

The issue, I think, is that people find the problems they are given to be boring, and so they try to solve an analogous problem they find more entertaining - at first. There are other ways to find joy and fulfillment in simple tasks besides making them into stunts.
I know this is derailing the main thread, but then why are studios choosing not to release finished movies on streaming? It seems like they could recoup at least some of the expenses compared to just shelving the thing forever.
> singular `include?` instead of `includes?`

Pedantic tangent, but `includes` is actually the singular form: "This array includes that object" vs "All of these arrays include that object".
Most of the people likely just like marijuana, which is fine. But where it becomes dangerous is when you pretend you “need it” to support some kind of permanent condition. It’s a perfect recipe for addiction and choosing substance abuse over other things in life (family, career, friends, etc).

I would be equally horrified if someone told me they were drinking vodka daily but “just for their anxiety”, or having four glasses of wine a night to “treat their insomnia”.
Certain expenses will be capitalized while the film is available for release/streaming. Depreciation/amortization will be years for the life of the film. But if you scrap it right away, you can deduct those expenses immediately.
> For example, you don't want to spend any more money on music licensing, editing, marketing, etc, that is unlikely to be recouped.

I have no idea what "Max" is in the GP, but another big reason to not release a creative work is if audience feedback was negative enough that even releasing it for free would hit the value of your brand.

The word "admit" in a headline always raises my hackles. This wasn't a secret. Your reporter didn't wheedle the truth out of them. You sent an email, and they responded with what they had already said countless times.
Yes. I know. This is controversial for a lot of people, but I know it is true for me: working 40h on a computer with mentally-draining tasks is not, and never will be, sustainable.

I worked very hard on many jobs, I always get praise, until I get tired and suddenly it doesn't matter how good I did in the past: I am shown the door or get mistreated so bad that I find the door myself.

So my best solution so far has been to move into freelance/part-time. It is a different world, with different challenges, but nothing beats being able to keep a sane mind.

This might be a hard pill to swallow, but no amount of “life hacks” will fix an issue with the ownership of your time.
