The "global score distribution" (and my score) and the end was pretty good idea. Much more informative than just some high score list.
I wish it had distributions for each picture

#192I have a tendency to date films and photos by their quality. Thats why I was 16 years off on the 1934 one. I got the first one exactly right, even though Im born in 1990.Some B&W cameras 80 years ago took better pictures than most cameras today.
As an aside, this is a great website to browse old B&W photos. Some of these scans are really breathtaking. https://www.shorpy.com/

#194Looks like I also have to play "guess the timezone of the creator of this game". I enjoyed playing it yesterday. It's now 11am today and it's still not open again. I have no idea when it will be.
Hey thanks for playing! The game resets at midnight ET. I'm working on adding a countdown to the next challenge right now. Apologies for the lack of clarity on that

#195I don't understand this site's "come back tomorrow" part. Wouldn't it be better to let people play as long as they want?!

#196Man I am in love. The global leaderboard is inspired!

#1984580. Helps if you recognise the current affairs. Gay marriage, Arab spring, London Blitz came up. Leaving me with a party with a mix of drab and 70s disco clothing so I guessed 1981 and was close enough! The one that got me was some people at a beach in black and white.

I didn't really recognize any of the current events - or anything at all - I just ... kind of knew ...
In fact, it had less to do with the actual content of the photo than the qualities of the photo itself ... I sort of felt like photos looked like that around 1990 ... and I was right.

Is it good, or are those photos already in the training data that the model was trained on? Would be interesting to see how well it would fare on five photos from different years, using pictures that have never previously been uploaded anywhere.
I would bet it would still do well. You can give a frontier LLM photos that it has never seen before and it will reason about them incredibly accurately, since is is trained on, well, a lot of other similar photos. You can easily try it yourself, give o3 a photo you have taken yourself of a random place, it will crop, zoom and analyze different sections of the photo until it gets most of the time the exact coordinate…

I will give it a try myself too. But all my photos that I take with my iPhone have date and GPS location embedded in the metadata so I will first have to transfer the pictures to my computer and strip them of metadata.

Interesting. Can we organize an event to blow up reggaeton records (or trap, or latin urban, or whatever they call it now - sounds all similar to me) and hope for it to go away?
Personally, I'd prefer for a young white male demographic to not riot against music primarily associated with certain marginalised communities anymore.
The person you’re responding to is an autistic wheelchair-bound lesbian woman living in Ghana.
What now?
Personally, I’d prefer internet commenters argue in good faith instead of emotionally parroting 2010s social justice identity jargon. You could have responded with something op was missing about said music (interesting history, examples of artists innovating there, etc) instead and added some value to the thread.
