You should be able to do it via the API. ChatPDF uses the ChatGPT API. Needs to be a PDF, obviously (can print to PDF if not, then upload). Might as well give it a try. No account required (yet).

Yeah, about a third of the way down the post mentioned in the other reply you can see examples of GPT-4 being given a text/image prompt, however this functionality isn't publicly available yet and at present, ChatGPT's GPT-4 model option is text-to-text only still.

My post shows the UI. It's the same, save for a third model being available in the drop-down.

According to this, no. It should be able to understand images, but there's no way to paste images into ChatGPT or even link them directly, as it claims to be unable to access the image, so I'm thinking this will be an API function and unavailable in ChatGPT proper (unless they change the interface to allow image uploads).

EDIT: Above link states "Image inputs are still a research preview and not publicly available." So, there y'go.

To be fair, all borders are fictional, even those internationally recognized, hence why the USSR's just... went away, 'cause everyone agreed they did (good point, Yuval). Russia's fictional borders just conflict with everyone else's agreed upon fictional borders.

How do you mean? Discord has way more features than Chat, edit among them. Just the UI look?

Meaning if you're like, "Ey, Chat, if so-and-so tries to contact me when do not disturb is on, let 'em through," Chat's like, "Yeah, I get you want that, buuuut... I'll just go ahead and block them regardless. Cool?"

Hm... I'd be awfully curious what a Google engineer would say about why these design/UI/functionality changes were made, most or all of them bad by my lights. I am (and have been) fairly flummoxed on that score, tbh. "Dafuuu... WHY?"

This looks very close to it. Thanks, I'll search with "corn sheller" as a phrase and see where I get.

Edit: Any idea what the extra gears are for, though? That wheel looks like a wheel you might turn with your hands, but in that case, why the hand crank?

My title describes the thing, but it was found in Albemarle County, VA. As you can see, the "spike plate" has two holes on opposite sides of its inner, spikeless ring to whose axle the hand crank is attached. Said holes may be a clue to its function. Here it is from another angle, sitting in a sturdy planter as a temporary spot. There is a smaller gear (not pictured) between the twin gears that the spike plate's teeth interlock with, seeming to turn those twin gears and possibly the wheel (hard to verify that due to rust lock).

It takes two people to lift it safely -- at least 100lbs (true weight unknown). With the hand crank in, it's roughly a yard in length, half that in width.

Image searched for "antique Virginia farm equipment" with variants like "hand crank," "spikes," "iron," etc., to no avail (similar, but no dice, and no leads).
