    I used gemini for the general art as well!

    nice! I was personally surprised seeing scores roll in that were lower than mine, since I had played the level so many times while debugging haha. Best in the system now is 17.1s a…

    Thank you, I appreciate you sharing that!

    thanks for the traffic everyone -- definitely hitting rate limits on gemini already so if it doesn't work please give it a try later in the day or try the example. Apologies for th…

    Thanks! A few friends have starting using the generated digis as profile pictures because of how recognizable they are. I was definitely surprised at how good the models had gotten…

    Thanks! Like another user commented below, I think the appeal of the pixel art sprites is that at a lower level of detail it can feel really accurate. 10 different real life red ja…

    Thanks! There are some content filtering rules via Gemini, but if you got an error on Trump I'm guessing it's an issue with the image generation rate limit getting overloaded.

    I've been monitoring some of the image generation progress for game sprites for a while and was really impressed by Gemini Flash. This demo lets you upload a picture and turns it i…

    Saw some more granular charts on this for the different options here as well for those interested: https://unusualwhales.substack.com/p/unusual-options-trading...

    Really creative game! Great work. Echoing the suggestions in the other comments to provide some clue on the number of letters.

    Is there a simple way to download the portion of the data that was breached for just our own account? I've switched providers and deleted my LastPass account after this last breach…

    Implemented a history button after completing the game that should make it easier for you to share!

    this is a great idea, let me see if I can make that easier!

    Both great ideas. I'll look at the calendar-like feature. Stats would be cool, I don't currently collect them but will think about adding them. Thanks!

    interesting, thanks for flagging -- this looks to be a parsing issue when ChatGPT occasionally returns guesses in a format different than the one instructed to. I'll give this some…

    Some technical notes. Even for something like this, the OpenAI API can be expensive - there's a few decisions I made that keep costs lower. 1. I cache guesses and responses in Redi…

    country flags are enabled - the search displays the Italian flag if I type in "italy". However if I type "italian", it doesn't match to the flag unfortunately.

    Ah that's annoying! I've swapped it out -- thanks for catching it.

    thanks! When I soft launched it 3 weeks ago I was doing TV shows, but 3x shows per day quickly exhausted my initial list, so I switched to movies over the past few days

    It's free to guess any movie -- the prompt is like "guess the movie represented by these 3 emojis", no filtering at all. It'll guess some crazy obscure stuff once in a while!

    Comment #36021990

    Thank you! Sadly I removed the thumbs up/down emojis and okay hand emoji -- when these were used in clues, GPT 3.5 tended to complain that the emojis were too generic and refuse to…

    nice! I don't limit the search space in the system prompt to GPT, though each daily puzzle is using popular movies. I think for the top ~100 movies it'll probably do a fine job. If…

    Thank you! I ended up trying to funnel people towards the emoji picker so that I could: 1) prevent unknown emojis outside the training window of GPT 3.5. As an example, ChatGPT sai…
