Quote of the day, NBC: "People are probably confused as to why there's Karate being performed around school children."

Wow... Karate... Someone give them a lecture on how Taichi is not part of Karate.... Seriously..

The opening was great, not spectacular, and a bit over hyped. The standout was the lighting of the "cauldron". Now that was amazing!

Not to mention Karate is Japanese!!!

Wow, It's totally fantasitic, especially the lighting effects, yet not to mention the display technology.

And my fav. is the 29 steps of big foot made of sparkle , which comes directly to the stadium from far away in the darkness.

Does anyone else has the same feeling of watching a big movie?

/I can't believe NBC kept cutting to retarded ads for TV shows and Budweiser during the march of the nations every five minutes!

<3 BBC Not a single advert during the whole Olympics (or ever :p)

Watching the basketball at the moment, the US women are naturally owning the Czechs, watched the volleyball last night. One sport I don't get is the silly horse trick stuff "Equestrian" I don't get how they call that a sport at all.

I wish I had BBC HD :(

Anyone else found the bbc coverage to be a bit naff?

The commentary has been in and out, even though you can hear the technical people speak. While watching the sailing, a tech bloke said "say ben jive" then the commy says ben jive. It wasn't any better in gymnastics either.

I'm also finding the chinese are having problems, cameras onboard boats or bikes freeze often, the main feed stops every now and then for a second. While watching the sailing, the picture was really screwed, it was like the picture was still scanning and getting muddled up.

    • 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.
