Anyone care to elaborate what happened? I have don't have a feed of the race! :(

3 laps to go: Hamilton 5th Vettel 6th

Vettle overtake Hamilton so he loses the championship.

Glock is 4th with dry tires with a wet track.

With two corners to go, Glock tires can't handle the rain and Vettle and Hamilton overtake him. And Hamilton wins by 1 point the championship

Hamilton is not the best driver in the world, the race was gifted to him by Glock, Massa deserves to have won that. I really hate how ITV dress Hamilton up as an 'amazing' driver, when the amount of mistakes he is made is the only thing that is amazing. Anyone remember the McLaren cheating stuff?

what?! you dont follow something and then say something you have no idea about is suspect?

it wasnt that i have no knowledge of the sport, i just havent pledged allegiances to any drivers in the recent years. it was in reply to you calling me a sore loser. that was the point i was making... maybe read what i wrote next time.

plus, i wasn't the only one. none of the commentators offered any instant explanation, and it was so out of the blue.

maybe the fact that it was so out of the blue is whats throwing me. i accept now that it is most likely legit.

Woo, what an exciting race, glad Hamilton is winner (Y)

McLaren knew Glock was slowing down as the cars have GPS as well so can track on that as well. He also had dry tyres meaning he had no grip which meant Hamilton could overtake. This isn't a setup!

Anyway, great race :)

the only reason glock was ahead was because he was on dry tyres and didnt pit, the same reason he sucked on the last lap (as did trulli) so it wasnt really gifted to him. i think massa made more mistakes at silverstone than lewis has done in most of the season!

i can't resist:

What about when Hamilton crashed in the pits at Montreal, he's just plain dangerous.

Great race, and a spectacular finish to a great F1 reason! Hamilton deserved the championship, and it was great to see him keep his composure in the race. It was his patience at the end that paid off.

I'm interested to see what Hamilton has to say on the race and the season. Will there be a press conference or something like that?

    • 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.
