I'm not sure whether it's just the o4-mini which is failing this task for me or what, but it did not perform well on the pictures I provided. I took a screenshot of the photo both the times to avoid any metadata input.

E.g. I first gave it a passage inside of Basel Main Train Station which included a text 'Sprüngli', a Swiss brand. The model got that part correct, but it suggested Zurich which wasn't the case.

The second picture was a lot tougher. It was an inner courtyard of a museum in Metz, and the model missed right from the start and after roaming around a bit (in terms of places), it just went back to its first guess which was a museum in Paris. It recognized that the photo was from some museum or a crypt, but even the city name of 'Metz' never occurred in its reasoning.

All in all, it's still pretty cool to see it reason and make sense out of the image, but for a bit lesser exposed places, it doesn't perform well.

Great! So on top of that, let's create more fake people! Sounds like a good idea.

This was probably an okay idea terribly implemented. GenAI creators on social media kind of sense.

It boggles my mind that there are people who think this is a good/ok idea. From a human perspective, all it does is pulls the mind ever closer to fictional imaginative world rather than encouraging real life interactions which I believe is inherently wrong no matter what business strategy is wrapped around it.

Oh, ok. Didn't know about that. Thanks for the info!

But, I still think that it needs some more clarity. Does a film listing not having any of these abbreviations default to German audio?

Just a few things of this sort.

Hey, this is really cool and helpful.

I recently arrived in Germany and movie/cinema aggregation is a huge issue and a hassle tbh, so I'll be using this frequently.

A suggestion, if I may, is to add language of the movie if possbile? It'd be great if there's any way to fetch that info and display it directly on your website instead of visiting every multiplex website to check it.

Either way, thank you for this!

That's a new one. Genuine question, why do you prefer using cash instead of using a phone or card?

I don't think Bard can even perform at GPT 3.5 level, at least, not in my experience. Bard hallucinates pretty bad and you can't really be sure whether it's correct or not. Now, that's a given with any LLM, but in my experience, Bard usually gives you at least 1 wrong sentence in any of the results it produces whereas GPT 3.5 is mostly correct at surface level questions, but tends to hallucinate if you try to dig in deeper.

But, Bard can give you images as an output as well with the links to those images which may or may not be the correct links and GPT 3.5 can't do that. Still, in any general case, I'd say GPT 3.5 is way more reliable than Bard.

Exactly, and I guess my days are numbered.

Yes exactly. It won't take long till someone exploits it which would be more robust than the prediction models we have right now and that's what I don't want a single dime of.

I know we're not there yet, and perhaps we won't ever be, or we'll be there in 10 years, but we don't have to map every single thing in the brain in order to exploit the foundational behavior.

I dunno, I think I quite liked the world how it was before that!

I agree. I don't know why but when I read this article and the responses here stating how things can be related and can be measured, I suddenly felt this sigh? disappointment? for 'demystifying the mind'.

Modern graphics looks better when you put them side by side, but the graphics 10 years ago was good enough that you easily get used to it.

Can you get used to it? Yes. Eg. Skyrim is still atmospheric, but graphically it is nowhere near what today's games offer. I'd say that one don't even have to look at games that are 10 years old and modern games side by side to see the difference. Someone getting used to older graphics is that person adjusting themselves to what they're presented, and not an objective observation and games today objectively look better even when they aren't compared side by side in my opinion.

They feel pretty much interchangeable to me when it comes to graphics.

The difference is nights and day...and I don't care one bit.

You used these 2 sentences back to back.

Tbh it's just you not caring about graphics whole lot, but can see the difference. To say that they're interchangeable is kinda hilarious because they're objectively better on PC, consoles than on Switch. You, yourself said so and the whole point in this thread was that of "how graphics definitely improved over the last 10 years" and not a subjective opinion of you not caring (which is fine but invalid in this conversation). Also, one can easily notice graphical differences between games that are released now and 10 years ago.

While I agree that there is somewhat over-reliance on CGI in movies nowadays, this post is like cherry picking the examples. Comparing bad CGI shots to few of the greatest films ever made (and with high budget for the time as well) just seems odd. I wouldn't say CGI itself ruined the movies, but how it is now implemented. There are films like Gravity which in my opinion, blended the CGI perfectly with what was happening in the scene and that's where CGI enhances the experience rather than otherwise.

Yes they did, but it's still an early access game, so I don't know if it counts a a fully developed release.

Rare did go down after acquisition, but what others are you talking about? Their biggest (Zenimax) one will start releasing new Xbox and PC exclusive games from this year onwards, so it's still early to call that one a failure.

Mojang, is doing Mojang thing i.e. Minecraft and while they haven't had a great success after that, they're still doing fine.

Playground games is doing Forza which is actually pretty popular among racing players (perhaps the most popular).

Obsidian haven't started to make Xbox and PC exclusives yet, but they'll also start with that presumably next year.

I don't know where you're getting "Most of Microsoft's acquisitions in recent years have been failures." this.

On the other hand, Sony's way of buying studios is way different. Most of the times, they have already worked with those studios in past to make a PS exclusive and then they buy them. I agree that Insomniac is doing great (better than any of Microsoft's purchases), but other than that, there isn't much just like MS.

I think we will get a better picture of whose acquisitions work best after 5-6 more years.

You're comparing 2 games which were a generation of console apart and a lot of things happen between those 7-8 years.

People will say, ah yes but the story, the lore! But if I wanted that I'd read a book.

That story and lore in the video game are exactly the reason I play video games i.e. video game can easily transport you into a world which you can see/hear/play-in instead of only imagining it in your mind. Books can never come anywhere close to that because of obvious restrictions of the medium and that was the reason, many (including me) were instantly captivated by the world of Skyrim. They successfully created a world full of atmosphere and lore along with the freedom of exploration and managed to do it excellently even compared to most of the games released now (and the thing is I also played Skyrim late in 2019, yet it is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite game of all time).

It's unfortunate that you didn't like it, so have fun with RDR2 (which is an excellent game with arguably the best storyline and characters in any video game till date).

I converted the Indian Rupee to USD while writing that comment. So the prices mentioned in my comment are in USD.

Not the OP, but in India, the lowest priced one I could find was from ASUS, which costs around $2600. I don't think the vanilla RTX 3080Ti is available here yet. The most expensive one was from MSI which costs around $3200. Whereas PS5 (official price i.e. without considering the shortages) costs $675.

You wrote the exact same thing I wanted to write. I still haven't got a satisfactory answer to that question though.

Just curious, is there any data cap on those?

This is really great. Aesthetically simple and clear website where all things are listed in one place. Great work!

Just wanted to clarify that the first one from 2014 was under a different ruling party than the current one as the date is 27th March 2014.

I don't like attempts made at censoring information either, but lumping these together doesn't come off as honest.

At the level of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Instagram, Twitter? No, it hasn't. But there are apps like Paytm, Ola Cabs which work in few other countries than India (It's fine if you haven't heard of these apps, because AFAIK they aren't in the US, or most of Western Europe for that matter. But some apps did get big enough to be implemented in other countries).

Also if we're going by that then there are hardly 5 countries out of 195 whose apps are used worldwide.

Sorry for the late reply, but those thought experiments are exactly that... a thought experiment, most of them never come anywhere close to reality.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be allowed, but that is a huge leap in one's understanding of the world. The possible effects of leap should be thoroughly studied before making those leaps, because it can backfire due to unseen consequences. Blindly following immortality as a way to live isn't a right way in my opinion.

We accept change all the time without considering consequences if the individual gain is strong enough. Not all changes are equal and arguably immortality would be the biggest change humanity has ever faced, so I don't think this is a matter of "We'll see things afterwards", but of "let's first study the possible good and bad consequences of that and then decide if we want to do this or not". Advancement for the sake of advancement isn't a right way to go in my opinion, especially not when majority of changes will now affect ALL the people on Earth as we're all connected now.

On the topic of, will I opt in? It depends on the consequences. I would prefer not to be a tester of such thing, so I won't opt in if I'm in the trial batch or even first public batch. Feel free to do so if you want to, but try not to say "what you think others will do" based on an internet comment because that again is based on the mental model you have right now which is a narrow slice (same for everyone). Now, would I like to live a good life (90-100 years)? Yeah sure, but I really don't feel like I want to live beyond that. I might want to extend that life if I find some purpose later in life, but even after that I don't think I'll ever want to live forever.

I cannot agree more with your last sentence. Even if the relationships aren't one sided, the feeling that they are is the worst and an enemy of action, so much so that the inaction becomes part of who you are and you start to take things in "it is what it is" without trying to communicate with others (speaking from experience).

I love to be alone but hate to be lonely, and I haven't found a balance of "what am I supposed to do" yet.

But we don't, do we? We wouldn't even know if we would have anything like today's world. So basing the possible scenario based on a hypothetical situation won't lead us anywhere. It is the same like "If I was the emperor of the world from the start, I would do this and this". My point is, how would you know what you would do when you haven't experienced it yourself? You're basing what you would do on your model of the world which was formed this way (present way) and not the "already emperor" way. So, you wouldn't know anything about how things would be in that hypothetical scenario.

I don't know what category I fall into right now, but I do understand that there might be potentially huge (bad) changes because of this that can stagnate the whole species rather than pushing forward. These possible scenarios are based on the real world, so they must be taken into account.

My interpretation was similar to yours as I also thought that this resulted more from her estrangement from her family rather than... anything else to be honest. It is indeed sad.

The main problem here is shoehorning of government between people's lives. Every parent has their own way of doing things. Some parents may allow kids to play longer, some may not but government should not be involved in this matter.

I don't think this is a case of "because..... communists". This move is rightly criticized in my opinion.

India always had one of the biggest economies in the world before Industrial Revolution in the Europe.

Expecting anything to be "epicentre of good behavior" is wrong to begin with because every person is different no matter what any text/information/knowledge the person has access to and ancient India (as that is what we're talking about here) did have stable economies as well as kingdoms. Was it perfect? No, because nothing is.

India had pretty significant technological advancements and all you have to do is Google Search for it.

You have absurd definition of "anything of use". If you want everything to be perfect, then bad luck, there isn't such place to go for you.

No. As with everything else in life, context is important. One can easily just read it and then proceed to justify their doings using it if they either don't know or choose to ignore the context of it.

Whole of Bhagvad Gita was spoken during the Mahabharata War. It contains some overall guidance i.e. it can be applicable to normal day life as well as situational guidance on the context of the going war.
