you got to be kidding me. The first wide was in the 37th over. thats pretty accurate bowling. All 5 bowlers got 2 wickets. so the bowling was good enough to win the match. who'd have thought India could win a match for its bowling ha

That's because the Pakistani openers chased 2 wide balls and got out.. it was just bizarre to see how Hafeez got out.. Asad Shafiq again played a bad shot on a ball that was not there to be cut.. the senior batsmen Younis and Misbah played poorly.. Younis got out playing an irresponsible shot.. he should have taken the burden on his shoulders and Misbah was opposite, played too slow and Shahid Afridi, A Razzaq etc did not fire the whole tournament.. they could not score 200 on Canada for crying out loud.. if I were you I could not be in any disillusion.. Indian bowling had nothing special to it.. it was some kamikaze batting from Pakistan that won them the game.. In the end the 6 dopped catches won India the match.. had those been taken who knows what the result would have been..

Looking forward to final now.. when did a host nation last win the WC? That will happen this time for sure..

I think it was in '96, the last time the WC was held in the sub-continent. Sri Lanka won it.

Should be an exciting final (I hope)

The match was good. Pakistan lost because of their own mistakes. I mean Shoaib Akhar was not playing, drop catches, Afridi's irresponsible batting yet again, avoiding the powerplay. I mean after all these mistakes, you can't win. 260 runs was not a big target. Anyway it is just a matter of game, no one should take it seriously.

Although if Shoaib was playing then Wahab probably wouldn't have played and he was Pakistan's best bowler.

    • 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.
