AI Trivia Game
These are today's contestants... Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini
A few people I know got into a conversation recently about which AI chatbot they liked best. Everyone had a different favorite. Best is subjective, so I tried the same prompt across a handful of models to compare the output. Prompt:
We're going to be writing a web application for my personal blog: https://starikov.co. My website is a black website with white text. My website is a ghost site. This application should be self contained to a single div, it shouldn't leak design into the greater website/on the main feed. It should be very modern, clean, and sleek. It should be good all around, scaleable in every way. It should be generally accessible. It should use modern web standards, and work great in Chrome and Safari. Again, don't like into the greater sit: it should be a single div with all of it's style and such contained, injectable into a Ghost post. It should be fully text-width.
This is going to be a fully interactive trivia game. I should be able to hardcode a javascript dictionary with quiz show questions. It can be anywhere between 1 (a freebie, you get free points) to 10 options. It should keep track of how many you get correct. You should be able to specify bonus rounds, by default make the last two bonus. It should be interactive with animations, especially congrulatory messages. You should be able to click any option but only accept answers when the user clicks a submit button.
At the end please show a congratulatory messages with their final score. It should break down every question they got right or wrong through the quiz. The more questions they get right the more grandiose the congrats animation.
Preload this game show with Google trivia, heavily focusing on ChromeOS questions. Please make it scaling in difficulty. 10 questions.
It should be a modern website with modern styling. Please keep it a div self contained to a ghost site.
I picked ChromeOS as the trivia topic in honor of a close friend.

Multiple YouTube Accounts?
The YouTube History Merger tool bleow combines multiple watch-history.html files from different Google accounts into a single unified timeline. This is useful when you have multiple YouTube accounts (personal, work, legacy accounts) and want to analyze your complete viewing history across all accounts. The tool processes files of any size (tested up to 35MB+) and automatically removes exact duplicate entries that occur within 10 seconds of each other, while preserving legitimate re-watches of the same video at different times.
To use the merger, simply drag and drop or select multiple watch-history.html files from your various Google Takeout exports. The tool will parse each file, extract all watch entries with their timestamps, sort them chronologically (newest first), remove duplicates, and generate a single merged watch-history.html file that maintains the exact same format as the original exports. This merged file can then be used with the YouTube History Parser above to analyze your complete viewing history across all accounts. The merger displays statistics showing total entries processed, unique entries retained, duplicates removed, and the date range of your combined history.
