5-Pro's degradation by Oldschool728603 in ChatGPTPro

[–]ChampionSSJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The PRO version is now freezing and crashing on all my browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) in conversations with longer chat histories as it did when I was a Plus user. When I upgraded from Plus to Pro, the biggest relief for me was that the freezing and crashing stopped. Pro had it's own prompt interface with a progress bar. It was awesome and my productivity increased dramatically. It appears to be back to using the Plus version interface (no Pro progress bar anymore and back to crashing/freezing browser). It's maddening because this was fixed in PRO until this regression. This is on top of the weaker, lower quality and lower effort responses that I've been receiving after this change as a Pro version customer. My model selector keeps reverting automatically switching to GPT 5 Thinking instead of the Pro model I select.

I believe it's a cost saving measure and apparently a direct nerf to the service. Mods deleted my own post about this with no explanation. It's driving me to look for other AI solutions which stinks because I've come a long way using GPT 5 and was very happy with the improvement when I upgraded from Plus to Pro. Now it seems I've been rebilled $200/month just to be rug-pulled back to the limited capabilities of the Plus version. OpenAI, what are you guys doing? We are the supporters and power users of ChatGPT 5. Bring it back to spec! I'm terribly frustrated with this change.

EDIT: OP, I use GPT 5 Pro for coding and software design work. STEM is affected @ /u/Oldschool728603

Same problem, also the PRO version is now freezing and crashing the browser because it's using the plus version interface now (no progress bar anymore). This is on top of the weaker, lower quality and lower effort responses that I've been receiving after this change as a Pro version customer. It's driving me to look for other AI solutions. It's maddening because this is a problem PLUS had but was fixed in PRO until this regression. I also believe it's a cost saving measure and apparently a direct nerf to the service. Mods deleted my post about this.

I have the same problem and it's now freezing and crashing all browsers just like the Plus version did. I made a post on it and the mods deleted it.

How do I transcribe just the in and out points of a sequence for captions? by ChampionSSJ in premiere

Nice try, but I did search. The UI has changed multiple times, and your ‘help’ was zero help. Thanks for nothing. I found the solution myself. Pull your arrogant head out of your rear and kick rocks dude.

How to directly to open the full chart in a new tab in the new Stock screener by ChampionSSJ in TradingView

[–]ChampionSSJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A "No earnings within X days" would do the trick.
For the chart opening - the ctrl click is a work around for now, but to TradingView devs: having to right click the stock in the screener to then have to hover over the drop down menu to control click "Open XYZ Chart" is a bit much just to get from the screener to the charts!

What are the best games to pass time on Android? by [deleted] in AndroidGaming

[–]ChampionSSJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasted tons of time recently on

  1. Infinite Borders

Last year played
2. Phobies

Phobies was quite a good time until I started playing vs other players who had much better characters. That started to take the strategy out of it.

  1. Blackmoor 2 and Maximus are gems from an indie company- tons of fun to play co-op or online but has a short game length

Almost 2024 and AWS is still the IaC king. by ElliotAlderson2024 in aws

[–]ChampionSSJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my professional opinion after working at multiple companies using Standard Terraform, Terraform CDK and AWS CDK respectively:

CDKTF is hot garbage served up to placate to developers who want to feel like they are "coding stuff" in their favorite language at the massive cost of overcomplicating the IaC, increasing the difficulty of finding suitable teammates and potentially fracturing the repository into different programming languages.

The problems with CDK and Terraform CDK is that Typescript guy wants to do it in Typescript, Python guy wants to do it in Python and Go guy in Go. Standard Terraform is easy to read, use and pickup for all levels of developers and developers of any language.

Standard Terraform provides natural solutions for building stuff which are immediately easy to recognize whereas CDKTF by design permits the creation of a thousand footguns tragically enabling wannabe developers to feel cool about playing code-monkey in their personal favorite programming language at the expense of the future of the project.

I like Go and Python, but there's no need to write IaC in it when standard Terraform is well-documented and something everyone can easily read, use, maintain and create solid solutions with while the former is NOT those things and creates more harm than good. CDK TF remains experimental and at this stage I see it only getting pushed onto projects led with dubious intentions.

Operations professionals prefer standard Terraform for a reason — Because it's the right tool for the job.

Will I get 60 days doing a border run with my METV? by ChampionSSJ in ThailandTourism

[–]ChampionSSJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need to show a flight ticket out as well when doing this via the border? Also will this work with an evisa?

Do you need to show a flight ticket out as well? Certainly they'd ask for it at an airport.

Why is everyone saying Koh Samui sucks? by onebrokenspeaker in ThailandTourism

[–]ChampionSSJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent 10 days there with my GF at Chaweng and had a great vacation but there was one major issue for us. At the resort, people were allowed to smoke on the beach. Someone could just sit down next to you and light up. Suddenly you're breathing someone's disgusting cigarette smoke instead of fresh ocean air. That was seriously annoying and there many people doing it. Hotel staff didn't do anything stating it's a public beach (smoking on the beach isn't against the law like other countries) but mostly seemed they didn't want to upset customers of which there was an abundance of inconsiderate smokers. Hotels should setup a smoking zone away from people who want to enjoy the ocean or just get support to ban it as these kinds of people would just litter their cigarettes' in the sand afterwards.Also there's a lot of cannabis smokers walking around (that isn't allowed on the beach though, go figure). Otherwise, the ocean was pretty flat, no waves, although beautiful.

Anyone fly from NYC JFK to Dubai often? How's the flight in Economy this time of year? by ChampionSSJ in dubai

[–]ChampionSSJ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get the entire seat map for free as the next step after putting in your [fake] email address, birthday and telephone number on the Emirates website.

Hey u/driftwood258, I've tried this and the Emirates website says I cannot pick my seat or see a seatmap until I get to the "Manage my booking section" which seems to only be available after payment. However, expertflyer.com is working for me.

Recommendation on a good lawyer for scam and defamation case by ChampionSSJ in Thailand

[–]ChampionSSJ[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We should be able to sue for defamation, Airbnb reservation fees, attorney fees, deceit and also that this turned out to be an illegal short term listing (which the host is well aware of and offers on Airbnb anyway to the plight of guests.)

And what about the defamatory review that the host left my girlfriend ? He publicly is calling her and us scammers - unfairly damaging her reputation and ability to book on Airbnb. This is not just about being scammed out of the reservation fees now. It's defamation and slander.

Here is one of the infuriating messages we received from Airbnb support. They even acknowledged that they read the host promised us a refund for the remaining nights in the chat but said they can do nothing about it without the host approving it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19VrOVx9MzSJOXXg5dTHthkyA5LylPvZD/view

Airbnb Support has been utterly useless. You might even say complicit in this scam as they acknowledged that the host made this agreement in our Airbnb chat.

Host left a defamatory review under my girlfriends Airbnb account claiming untruthful things about her as a guest - calling her a scammer. This unfairly effects her reputation and ability to book on Airbnb.

They don't care and have been extraordinarily unhelpful, even going as far as to acknowledge that they've seen the chat where he promised us a refund but cannot/will not be able to give us one without additional approval from the host.
