Looks like future generations will experience more of augmented reality than 'real' reality.
Edit: Perhaps 'fictitious' reality is a better term compared to augmented reality.

I understand what you mean by "Hollydeadwood"...but there's more to movies than just the visuals. Oh, wait...Hollywood producers haven't been reminded of that for a couple of decades now. Never mind.
In some instances, I can't help but think it did a good job finding an existing video that matches the description provided. In other instances, the descriptions are so specific, obviously no such video already existed. Or did they work backwards? Produce a video first, then come up with a prompt to make it look like it generated the whole thing out of nothing? It wouldn't be the first time this sort of thing was done to blow the minds of the gullible with deep pockets.
I've probably grown too cynical.
It's cute, for sure. But the real question is, if you give it a long enough script, is it gonna be able to produce something that goes beyond the novelty value?

Came across this bit of code in a review
int v = 2 >> 10;
Usually I just skim by stuff like this because I figure the programmer knows what they are doing. Then I went back and looked because it was specify a max size so I figured someone was being clever. And 'clever' doesn't mean good code.
Then I realized it definitely was not clever.
Always willing to question myself I started wondering if I was misreading it. Or if I had actually forgotten what the operator did. So I wrote code just to verify it.
If it hadn't been so weird and so wrong I wouldn't have spent that much time on it.

Was the author made aware of the error. Perhaps the authors' finger missed the '<' key.

This is a sort of followup to a message[^] from Paul (@OriginalGriff) about 7 months ago. He'd posted that he'd bought some 4Tb drives from Amazon at a cheap price, supposedly refurbished, but they arrived 'as new' with warranty cards.
I'm wondering what his experience has been with them so far and how it matches with mine. I'd also be interested if anyone else bought some and what they've found.
In my case, I've previously been using Seagate IronWolf 4Tb drives (model ST4000VN008) in a 6 disk ZFS array (Raidz2, i.e. 2 out of the 6 are effectively parity). The disks were all around 33000 power on hours and one had "failed" according to the SMART data. So I initially bought 2 of these drives, which turn out to be HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 drives. I replaced 2 of the Seagates, bought 2 more HGST drives, replaced 2 more Seagates, bought a final 2 and complete the rebuild of the array.
Then 1 of the HGST drives reported failure. So I sent it back to Amazon for a refund and bought 2 more, intending to keep 1 as a spare. Shortly after that, another failed, so I sent that back for a refund and used up my spare.
Just recently, another drive has reported failure. I enquired via email about the warranty and was told that the company whose name is on the warranty card only sell to the US, so my drive isn't covered as it's a resale. So sent it back to Amazon for a refund and ordered an identical replacement, only now it's double the price.
This one had a manufacturing date on it of October 2016! So I've done a bit of searching and, as far as I can work out, these drives must have been manufactured between 2012 and 2019, but I can't find a way to work out exactly when. HGST was acquired by Western Digital in 2012, but they continued to make HGST drives for a few years.
So these are actually New Old Disks (Old New Disks?) and have presumably been sitting around unused for years - hopefully in reasonable conditions for storage!
I'm beginning to think this may have been false economy and I'd have done better sticking with newer Seagate drives despite the price!

HGSTs will run forever. Unless physically abused are the Toyota of spinner drives.

Wow! You don't mention purchase dates or failure dates but that seems like A LOT of failures over a short-ish duration!
I have a small 2 disk Synology NAS (running with Synology Hybrid RAID - essentially mirroring) with (2) Seagate ST4000VN000 (4TB) drives. They've been running without so much as a hiccup for a decade now. 
I guess I should consider myself lucky!

The HGST drives were bought late October 2023 and early to mid November. The first failure was the first week of December, the second in January and the third about 2 weeks ago.
The Seagate drives were bought in March 2018 and the first failure was October 2023.

I'm trying hard - really hard - not to be a cynic and automatically conclude that this is your problem right there.
But, of the 50+ drives I've personally owned over the last few decades, all Seagates are currently dead. Zero exception. All others (WD, HGST, some Toshiba and other brands that are lesser-known as drive makers) have been retired - as in, still work, but now so small in terms of capacity they're not worth using anymore. And I have disproportionally fewer Seagate drives than other brands (based on my experience I'd be insane to keep giving them my money).
Backblaze has been compiling drive failure reports for years now. Their reports never do anything to convince me I'm wrong.
Also - I'd never buy a refurbished drive. Ask yourself: What are the reasons anyone would ever send a hard drive back?
