ESPN's John Clayton is reporting former Raiders head coach Bill Callahan has been hired by the University of Nebraska to be the next football coach....

Good Luck NU Fans.... :no:

Thanks Xeonic, I think we could use some good luck.

I have to be honest, and as I've mentioned on here, I am a die hard Husker fan, and I do feel like NU got a good hire in Bill Callahan. I grew up in Nebraska all my life, and its true that we only have Husker football to follow and root for. Nothing else, sports wise, really matter. This vacant job at NU was huge for the state, everyone was following the progress.

This past season there seemed to be lots of controversy with Callahan and the Raider players. Lots of complaints from the players, and poor performance by the players, which is to an extent a result of coaching issues. I do however, think that Tim Brown and Woodson just wanted to run their mouths. I have nothing against those players, as they are both big time athletes. The team was losing, players were upset about playing time, and I think they just vented....IMHO.

Players weren't complaining last year when the Raiders were on there way to the Super Bowl. In fact, the team was loving Callahan a year ago this time. They were insync, playing extremely well, and were practicing for the Super Bowl.

Beyond that, Callahan has a long history of coaching, which got started in college at several schools including N. Illinois and Wisconsin. He loves coaching kids and helping them develop the skills for the NFL or any other trade they take on.

I must say I was pretty upset at the first time I heard his name mentioned for the job. I was quick to judge, and after hearing reports from friends and colleagues, I have come to realize that this is a steal for the Huskers. I think he will hire some great coaches, maintain the tradition of the Univ, and take the team in a better direction.

For this Husker Fan, I'm very excited about what Bill brings to the table.

I don't think that was due to Callahan, more Gruden. If it was due to Callahan, should have at least done something this year....even Gruden managed to put up 7 wins.

I personally thought Spurrier would have been the choice. Granted Nebraska is not your typical SEC program, but his name alone would have helped w/ funding. I give Callahan one year tops. If Nebraska is going to fire a 9-3 bowl coach, then Callahan is in a world of #@!$.

Solich was not fired because he went 9-3. His record in 2003 and his record over his 6 year head coaching term was a very small factor that led to him being fired.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
