https://timeguessr.com/ I really enjoy time guessr! Playing it on the TV with family is fun too.
I was about to suggest this as well - great game!
Maybe you want to add https://games.oec.world/en/tradle/ to the routine
Show HN: Time Portal – Get dropped into history, guess where you landed

#102Very polished UI/UX. I'd say this is far closer in similarity to TimeGuessr than GeoGuessr. The only difference is that in TimeGuessr you are guessing a year and a location based on a single real image whereas Time Portal is making heavy use of GenAI for image/videos. Anything I'm missing?
OP: You might also want to change the title in your HTML header for the game - it just says Eggnog which is kinda funny but not sure if that was intentional.
Re: Show HN: Time Portal – Get dropped into history, guess where you landed
#103yeah it's a cool concept, but knowing what I know about the ability of generative AI to accurately replicate specific moments of history, it falls flat. The whole point of this kind of thing should be to reward people who can recognize "that architectural style wasn't invented until the 13th century" but that's precisely the sort of thing image models cannot do reliably.
I agree that it's not possible to have them do 13th century architectural style perfectly right now. But I believe it will be soon. The image/video models are improving, but so are the reasoning models, and they can check for and fix anachronisms.
You might look into era specific LoRas if they exist, and if not consider training a few to help better capture architectural detail from that specific time frame.

#104I guess the idea is cool, but this is more like "try and guess which prompt generated this slop".
The thing that makes Geoguessr cool is that it drops you into a real place.
This is like if Geoguessr showed you the output from "Midjourney, show me China".

#105Great concept. I'm an avid geoguessr and wikitrivia player, you're definitely onto something here.
I built a prototype version similar to this called PastPort last year, but I like your idea better.
This uses Flux then image to video? Good quality generations, it would be wonderful to see the accuracy of the images improve. I saw you want to make it interactive like moving mode in geoguessr; that would be fantastic. I can imagine a few ways to do both.
I don't believe this is open source - is there a way to contribute to this? One man operation or are you a team?

good idea! It would be fun to have a ton of LoRas for different places x eras

Yes! Similar vibe to TimeGuessr. And thanks for the heads up about the HTML header.

#108As somewhat of an AI-generated image hater, I had a lot more fun with this than I was expecting to. Nice work :-)
Haha glad to hear it! Thanks!
Re: Show HN: Time Portal – Get dropped into history, guess where you landed
#109This is awesome, and I'm not very good at it :-)
Thanks so much for the nice words!

#110Todays challenge is 2024, Mountainview, California —- because it’s clearly Google Gemini AI.
Haha it's not Gemini. The models used are in the post.
