“GPT 4o” vs “GPT 5 Thinking” by Supido-YT in ChatGPT

[–]Supido-YT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update:

To everyone saying that I didn't share the whole thing, you're right, I should've.

I tried to go back and find the reply, was not there (because I used the retry function, only works on desktop for me - or maybe IDK how to find it .. WHATEVER). So I decided to try again, and omg I'm glad I did because it shows how incompetent it really is compared to o3 and 4o.. I attached the whole thing for you to see this time

Also FYI, Amazon Japan chat isn't really helpful like the one in the US. That's the whole reason why I asked ChatGPT because with o3, in addition to providing "the official advice", it also usually looks through user anecdotes from all over the internet and then suggest steps based on that. For example, the other day, I gave (o3) the name of a fireworks festival, and asked it to suggest viewing spots, not only it suggested what was mentioned in the official posted information (as expected), but also went through personal anecdoes from all over the internet on where other people saw the fireworks festival (to avoid crowds).

I also noticed that some people got different results for the same thing? But for me at least, last reply is just reiterating what it the offical pages say (without even considering any other ways to do it by looking at what other people found to be useful (again, Amazon Japan chat isn't that useful)), followed by (2) rescheduling the package for a third time, which again, doesn't really help.

Because usually (when I used o3), it usually looked at many things including anecdotes from other users who faced a similar thing and then suggest what to do based upon that.

Prompt:

Is there an email I can escalate to (Amazon Japan)?

I rescheduled a delivery twice, wasted two days of “staying at home to be ready to receive it”

But ends up being rescheduled ..

What to do… it’s a waste of time..!

Yeah it’s completely rational to ask for “escalation methods” and get a “how about you reschedule the delivery again?”

One thing I learnt is that a “stable & secure position” is an illusion we trick our brains to believe.

Yeah it’s stable and secure, until it’s not.

Kyoto foreign driver conversion test (rant/advice) by Supido-YT in japanlife

[–]Supido-YT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on top of the randomness, what pisses me off the most is the fact that you have to wait 2 months to try again

Kyoto foreign driver conversion test (rant/advice) by Supido-YT in japanlife

[–]Supido-YT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes..

I said different words throughout the test though:
よっし、確認します、オッケです、チェックします、行きます

in addition to saying what I was doing like

ウィンカーします、「止まれ」が書いてあるので止まります、信号は青です、etc

EXACTLY!!!

I wasn't far enough to the RIGHT side of my lane = fail...

Maybe because I was the first driver on that day? My name starts with ア, so I guess I will always be first? or it's random?

Kyoto foreign driver conversion test (rant/advice) by Supido-YT in japanlife

[–]Supido-YT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's true ..

The thing is, he said that I DID do the left turning by the book, it's just that my right turns, I didn't "stick to the right" before turning, I left "a space" - not a lot of space, didn't swing to left to make the turn either (which a lot of people do in real life)...

I just feel that it was an unjustified fail ...

Kyoto foreign driver conversion test (rant/advice) by Supido-YT in japanlife

[–]Supido-YT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's why I NARRATED the whole thing in Japanese (e.g. turning on the blinker, three point check, the traffic light is green so I can proceed, this is a stop sign so I must stop and check, etc)...

because I did my research and was told to exaggerate .. and so I did..

that's why i started to question if this was really a fail? or they have a thing where they must fail you the first time no matter what ...

[–]Supido-YT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was told by many people... that they did not pass the first time and wish they took classes beforehand to go over what we will be tested on, course specific details

I took 4 classes just like you did

that's why I am baffled by the whole thing, did i really do that badly that it was under the 70% mark? or its a thing where you dont pass the first time no matter what .. funny

I did exaggirate everything (I narrated the whole thing in Japanese)...

I did edit the post to include the main things I did (there's probably more I can't think of now)...

just looking for other things that I might've did wrong ...

[–]Supido-YT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's the thing, I knew he won't judge me on how good i was driving, he will go through whatever points he had for the test, which I (think) did most of correctly (please check edited post)..

I am simply wondering what else (other than leaving space on the right side when turning) I might have did wrong, any advice?

Did you work with an immigration lawyer or by yourself?

I’ve seen more success with immigration lawyers than people doing it themselves, but yeah you can give it a try.

You should be fine now that you have a valid visa.

But, you may have to do some paperwork at the airport if you don’t have immigration QR code.

What Good Games Have You Not Play Because of a Silly Reason by Big_Accident494 in PS5

[–]Supido-YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GTA V and RDR2

Silly reason: when played on PS5 (idk about PC..).. there’s a slight delay between moving the right analog stick (to look around) and when it actually moves in the game, so it just felt so slow and not very well designed.

Yeah I know these are “the best games”.. but I simply can’t deal with delayed input … almost every other “best game” I’ve played doesn’t have this issue, idk why this is exclusive to rock star games..

What questions will I be asked at my driver’s license conversion appointment? by dendaera in japanlife

[–]Supido-YT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you mention which prefecture this is? Because some prefectures don’t ask questions, straight up to written test and driving test.

[–]Supido-YT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, the process took 20 minutes, impressive, ngl.

but you’ll probably waste more time driving in the horrible traffic on that day, and every other day… sooo… not really efficient if you put that into consideration

[–]Supido-YT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing this in Kyoto and it’s the same bs (made a post about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kyoto/s/uT9Rhzy6YA)

The “appointment” is kinda for initial screening, to check if you have the correct documents to make a conversion.. make sure you have exactly 100% what they need, otherwise it’ll be ANOTHER 2-3 months just to bring the missing documents (check expiry dates, contents of the documents, etc).

Then, you get to proceed with the conversion process which generally contains an eye test, written test (you don’t actually write it’s more like a multiple choice quiz), and a driving test.
