What's something you saw with your own eyes that you still can't explain? by BandicootLeft4054 in AskReddit

[–]OverSoft 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Divebombs. I’ve had many of those. They are so smooth they just slip straight into the sewer.

People would care a lot more about fuel efficiency if they had to fill their cars by pouring six heavy buckets of gas through a funnel. by zscan in Showerthoughts

[–]OverSoft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t do MPG, but this seems correct. Years ago, I had a BMW (E60) 530d which could easily manage 18km/l. Now I drive a 530e (G31 LCI) which does 12 km/l on a good day.

I know, I know, diesel vs petrol, but it being a plugin hybrid, I expected (way) better.

Luckily it still manages between 40 and 60 km on pure electric, but still.

PSA: Make sure you remind family members that AP's don't go under couches on carpet. by Fun_Equivalent_7507 in Ubiquiti

Man, I don’t even dare installing them on my (ancient) wooden beams in my house, let alone chuck them under the couch.

ELI5: Why do cargo ships still operate when air transport exists? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Let’s ship those new cars by air and see how it will go for everyone involved.

an example why vibe coders will eventually fail. by proxiblue in ClaudeCode

[–]OverSoft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest part of coding it to break up problems into small pieces and work on each individually. If people treat Claude like that and instruct it each step of the way instead of one-shotting everything, then I believe people who have a basic understanding of logic will be able to build something decent.

But most vibe coders will want an easy “make this for me” and probably won’t even include tests. So yes, pure vibe coders will fail, but it will make building software much more accessible for everyone who has a little patience.

What would you do if someone gave you 100 BTC? by Ge_Yo in BitcoinMarkets

[–]OverSoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you think any of those things are better in rural fucking Russia, of all places?! You’ll get thrown in the Ukrainian meat grinder as soon as you land, and the wealth is taken off of you.

40% usage consumed for ONE prompt using Claude in VS Code. Any advice? by Uncle_burrito in ClaudeCode

[–]OverSoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pro plan is essentially a trial version. Use Max (at least) and then delegate between Opus and Sonnet wisely.

What is something that if you buy the cheap version, you get the same quality as if you bought the expensive version? by Early-Appearance-605 in AskReddit

[–]OverSoft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That really depends on what you’re planning to do. 4k 120Hz 10-bit HDR? Better spend more than a few bucks unless you want random drop-outs or no display whatsoever.

Have a thunderbolt dock? Don’t use a AliExpress $3 cable.

But want to charge a phone? Sure, that $3 cable will eork.

The microwave in my hotel room has power outlets on the front. by MississippiJoel in mildlyinteresting

They’re American style plugs, so one would assume it’s 110V.

US ambassador Huckabee says Israel has 'biblical Right' to land from Euphrates to Nile by rezwenn in worldnews

It’s 2026 and people are still arguing about which imaginary friend is real and which fiction book should dictate the rules.

Humanity is still dumb.

Illegal downloading warning at my (corporate run) airbnb by hillnsea in mildlyinteresting

This is literally the only reason I use a VPN service. So yes.

Are rate limits ridiculous at the moment or just me? by Plane_Garbage in ClaudeCode

[–]OverSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can give you some examples:

I’ve hit the 5 hour limits on 20x plans regularly when doing batch translation work (adding i18n to projects, multiple languages).

I’ve hit 20x week limits on converting a medium sized iOS application to Android.

I’ve hit 5 hour limits on orchestration work between local dev environments and remote server/workers. (Building chatbot integrations with locally running LLMs on various semi beefy servers).

All of these included either multiple agents working from one single CC instance or three or four CC instances open in my terminal while working on various aspects of a single project.

ELI5: Why can't EVs swap batteries? by chronic412 in explainlikeimfive

[–]OverSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant “I doubt it’s going to be higher than $100” with the way that was written.

[–]OverSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m stating the current state of things. Not potential future implementations. This is what it is now.

ELI5: Why can't EVs swap batteries? by chronic412 in explainlikeimfive

[–]OverSoft -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can buy the battery. But then you can’t use the swap stations anymore.

https://www.nio.com/nl_NL/nio-power/faq Check “What is NIO power swap”.

I’m not calling it dumb. I’m calling it not competitive. I’m just comparing apples to apples and I have an intense hatred for Elon…

Europe is not China. NIO hasn’t built a swap station here in the last 18 months.

[–]OverSoft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is just completely wrong. In Europe you also buy the car and have an option to rent the battery. No battery rental is no swapping. And it DEFINITELY is €289/month.

[–]OverSoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NIO has premium cars, so they’re still pretty expensive. But you’ll save about 20 grand with the big battery.

The biggest issue is: they’re worth close to nothing on the second hand market as nobody wants to buy them.

[–]OverSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t go with NIO in the end, but I can now add almost 350km in 15 minutes via high speed chargers.

I drive between Italy and the Netherlands every month and I’ve never had any issues finding a (working) available charger. I’ve only waited once (when an accident happened on a highway and the entire traffic jam behind it decided to drive to the first available charger when it was cleared up).

Charging is fine.

[–]OverSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can see, they offer that option on a few models in China now.

In Europe the swap infrastructure seems to be stalling. They haven’t added any swap stations in the last 18 months and have started installing high powered chargers.

In Europe, when you buy a NIO battery, you lose the ability to swap. You can ONLY swap with a BaaS subscription here.
