Neowin's NCAA Tournament Pick 'Em


Recommended Posts

I'd dont know if anybody went to any of the 1st and 2nd round games, but my Dad and I went to the opening round games in Charlotte. Probably the most fun i've had in a long while.

We had seats in the upper level, but there were actually some good seats, we were in the corner and had a great view of the court. Sadly I was surrounded by a bunch of Carolina fans. In both of Duke's games the Carolina fans bandwagoned on the Delaware St. and Mississippi St. It was fun though, all the Carolina fans talking smack, but it was more fun dishing back.

Well, I've got 2 Final Four teams left, which is what I usually get every year (Illini, UNC).

Georgia Tech let me down. Totally flat against Louisville (a very good but overrated team). Syracuse...blah. I half expected Florida to lose, Nova is a good ballclub and the Gators were just too reliant on the 3-pointer.

The only one that really irritates me now is Duke. Miss. State had them but they made some stupid shot selections and had some dumb turnovers.

Oh well. The way Ronald Ross is playing right now, Texas Tech could be in the title game.

NC State vs UNC in the Elite 8

Even though they won 2 games already, State is dangerous, should be interesting. NC State owes a big thanks to Wake for getting them into the tournament when Chris Paul tried to get some from Julius.

I have 3/4 left that can make it to the final 4. Unfortunately the team I had picked to win is also the one I don't have anymore (stupid Kansas...)

I have 3 out of 4 left in CHicago (missing UW-M), in Albuquerque i only have Washington left, in Syracuse i have UNC and Nova left, and Duke and UK in Austin. Half of my Final Four is left with UNC and Ok. St. It's been an interesting tourney.

all i gotta say is go big ten!  3 teams in the sweet 16, from the so-called "worst" major conference.  :)

Especially when you have Wisconsin play three straight games against double digit seeded teams :pinch:

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • 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.
