https://sora.com/

They're doing this whole 12 days of Christmas thing

Day 1 - O1 reasoning model released (faster better than preview)
Day 2 - enhanced fine tuning
Day 3 (today) - Sora

Sora is currently unavailable (presumably because so many white men are trying to use it) BUT if you want to get your AI video genreated fix I highly recommend taking a look at https://civitai.com/videos it's basically open source sora. It'a cool as fuck. I could, and often do, scroll though it for hours.

It is quite ironic that the people I know that have spoke out against AI the hardest are the people with Alexas, Jewgle Homes, they fully believe anything chat bots say to them, and they use AI programs more than anyone else I know.      (technology)

Supreme Court To Decide Whether Helping Poor Rural Americans Get Broadband Is ‘Unconstitutional’     (www.techdirt.com)

https://www.techdirt.com/2024/12/02/supreme-court-to-decide-whether-helping-poor-rural-americans-get-broadband-is-unconstitutional/

The FCC has long run an $8 billion federal subsidy program to help bring phone and broadband services to lower income homes and schools called the Universal Service Fund. The historically bipartisan program has long been funded by a fee on traditional phone lines. But with traditional phone lines dying, there’s been a long, ongoing discussion about how to best continue to fund the program.

The program has certainly seen fraud and abuse (much, much improved in more recent years). But it’s also done a mammoth amount of good getting neglected communities connected to the internet. A lot of folks like to singularly focus on the former to support the belief that government is always inherently bad.

The program is definitely in need of reform. Enter Republicans, who aren’t so much interested in how to fix the program, as they are redirecting taxpayer funds to their friends at companies like AT&T. Republicans insist they have the fix: to impose a massive new tax on “woke” tech companies and services (read: you), then give it to telecom giants like AT&T with a long, proud history of subsidy fraud.


“The last time the Supreme Court invoked what is known as the non-delegation doctrine to strike down a federal law was in 1935. But several conservative justices have suggested they are open to breathing new life into the legal doctrine.”

T-Flex: Compliant Flexure-based Large Range Precision Hexapod     (www.youtube.com)

If you insist on having six degrees of freedom, the wobble in your joints and slides will compound on itself and kill your repeatability. What to do? This beast from the university of Twente cheats - no bearings, no slides, it is all "flexures": bits that bend. The ball joints are really three nested flexures with the bend lines intersecting at the centers of the imaginary sphere. The bearings for the motors are also missing. The motors only turn 60 degrees and are mounted on butterfly flexures instead.

Maybe this will end up being used in semi-conductor manufacturing, where sub-micron repeatability matters.

Thieves reportedly use AT&T data to track and steal iPhones — how to protect yourself     (mashable.com)

As the holiday season ramps up, so do the schemes of so-called "porch pirates" — and this time, they're alarmingly tech savvy.

The Wall Street Journal reported last month on a wave of thefts involving AT&T iPhones delivered via FedEx, largely attributed to both companies’ lax policies on requiring signatures for high-value deliveries. However, an incident in September has highlighted a disturbing escalation.
