I wish the Gmail connector that OpenAi offers had a read only mode.

I get fantastic mileage of regular ChatGPT Plus chat connected to all of my public and private Github - I have about 900 repos - probably about 100 relevant ones. I can work from any computer/phone.

This workflow sort of happened over the last few months. Until now I was very hesitant to grant commit rights.

However, I am still afraid to give OpenAi full read/write access to my gmail.

Is there a way to give read and say draft only access to OpenAi? I do not want OpenAi sending emails on my behalf.


I recently tested a whole bunch of models (basically whatever was recent and available on openrouter filtering by audio input) for STT for mixed language audio - mostly English mixed with Latvian.

In the end I was basically forced to go with Scribe (v2) it was only one that had consistently high quality across multilingual speech with multiple speakers .

Crucially it correctly identified multiple speakers across hour of audio.

I would love to go with something like Transcribe if it gets close to this type of performance.


Maybe things have changed but it was a big mess trying to getting an API key from Google as an individual a few years ago. Way too much conflicting documentation.

Eventually I gave up and run a few hundred million tokens (edit a few billion) through openrouter.ai using Gemini Flash 1.5 to Flash 2.5

Every since price increases on Flash 3.0 I've stopped using Gemini, too expensive for basic classification, sentiment detection, ocr etc.

As other posters said Google assumes you are some bigcorp trying to use their products. The Vertex versus AI studio confusion did not help.


Seems to work still

I just tried with following: ceuta morocco spain immigration before:2022/11/01

Top 5:

4 out of 5 are about 2021 event and the Amnesty report is about 2006 incident but it was updated in 2021 so my primitive search fits.

I hate modern Google search experience as much as everyone else, but in this particular case you can still get some results.


Decathlon is pretty neat and technologically advanced actually, so not surprising news for them to adopt Wero.

In eastern European stores they use RFID for every product, so you just throw stuff in a bin without scanning and can self check faster than usual self scan.

Well I have not tried throwing in a bike in a bin or a dumbbell, but I presume it works for 99% of stuff.

Curious what they pay for RFID, last I checked it is about 5-6 cents per item for small quantities.


Not just Eastern European stores, they do it in France (it's a a French company) and India too. First time I saw it was in India, it was very impressive.

They also have a lot of vertical integration, they manufacture many of the products they sell.


Can confirm they do this in Canada too. Though I'm not sure they have much of a presence outside of Quebec.

It was very cool to try, and very much a "why doesn't everyone do this?" feature. I've never seen it anywhere else.


> they manufacture many of the products they sell

If you're familiar with labor disputes around Decathlon, i think a more fair representation is they get other people to manufacture it for them, in what some NGOs call human trafficking / modern slavery.


Is there somewhere they don't do this?


I thought it was image recognition but RFID makes more sense. However just last week I accidentally 'hacked' it by having two small identical products thrown in the bin and their cardboard boxes fell right next to each other, so the system saw only one. I had to manually move them apart to have both appear on the bill (that is why I suspected image recognition, RFID should be two separate IDs no?)


In eastern European stores they use RFID for every product, so you just throw stuff in a bin without scanning and can self check faster than usual self scan.

Yep, same here in West Europe.

Well I have not tried throwing in a bike

Haha, that would make a great Youtube skit.


It's a great store. It's similar to Ikea in that you can go in without doing any research or shopping around and be reasonably sure that whatever you buy from one of their own brands, at any price point, is better quality than the same price point somewhere else. For camping stuff especially, the value is very good. The higher end might be missing but that's almost a feature for the average person to go in and choose from a good or pretty good option.


I've seen that in Germany as well. I was surprised that automatically recognized everything after throwing it in the bin. I knew such systems existed, I didn't think we had any in actual production use here. They seem to trust the system well enough, it didn't even explicitly ask me to confirm if everything was recognized.


If you have a bike or something, staff will scan its barcode for you. They generally see you coming and you don't have to wait.
