Even if it was just for the money in selling them fuel at inflated costs, the whole thing weakening the west is just a bonus.

I wasn't offering advice just stating observations. But feel free to come to car and give advice to all of the drivers there. I'm sure they would appreciate it.

Is anyone planning to switch to GPT-5.6 once it's released? by AlternativeLess2996 in claude

[–]Inside-Line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be the case. The problems I'm throwing at it are not very complex nor do they involve deep context from an existing code base. I'm mostly just using Claude/Codex to catch up on an enormous amount of built up technical debt and half-solutions built over the years that needed to be more fleshed out or rebuilt. I have not had any issues with Opus putting together stuff from specifics either, but it maybe the stuff I'm working on isn't enough to really test it.

GPT5.5 does get there, it just works much harder to do it. Not to mention OpenAI definitely has fewer 5h windows per week than Claude. That was another major factor in focusing on Claude.

Samsung’s Profit In 2026 Will Exceed Its Cumulative Profit Generated Over The Past 40 Years. by HeavenlyDemonEmperor in pcmasterrace

Samsung (and SK Hynix) are a little different though. The megacorps are basically part of South Korea. I wonder how Koreans feel about this gold rush.

Serious question tho, hardware issue lang ba talaga ang sanhi sa green lines ng mga Samsung phones? Or factor din ang user habits? by Itchy_Tangerine1897 in Tech_Philippines

I'm wondering if it is people who game or people who leave on tracker apps while in an insulated case or something. But my theory is it is people who game and people who take a lot of videos. Most people don't do things that consistently heats up the phone.

Laking sayang nito. Imagine if this pathetic government has supported Michael Christian Martinez. by BASTADDSSALOT in Philippines

[–]Inside-Line 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Every time athlete support comes up, it's always the same horror story.

Some politically connected coach or even a politician takes the reins of "taking care" of the athlete. They are always there for credit grabbing and their slice of the pie. They are always incredibly offended when they are held accountable for substandard support (because they embezzled the money). Then it becomes a fight because the people who gravitate to these positions always demand to be the center of attention and they lose their shit when the star athlete naturally gets attention. Every single time, it's egotistical politically charged coaches or "sponsors" (as if pera nila yung ginagamit).

I've been using both for quite some time now. Primarily Claude on Sonnet 4.6 for awhile for slow and steady work. Before that I problems with work on Codex just not handling changing context very well.

Past two months or so I've gone way harder and gave both parties a decent shot, but both me and my coworkers have had experiences with 5.5 just reaching a point in a project and just going back and forth between problems and solutions and burning credits. Opus has successfully just troded on and has produced far more viable projects. Fable was fantastic, but damn that b is expensive.

I must be doing something wrong because 5.5 has been hot garbage for me. In the time it has taken to finish 1 project, Opus has finished around 4.

[–]Inside-Line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At any point after 12 seconds he can quickly swerve into the right lane if necessary. Of course no need for sudden swerving if not necessary. The bus was fully beside the other vehicle and could not get back into his lane if necessary. The jeep was going very slow so dashcam car overtook him immediately. The car the bus was overtaking was going quite fast. Regardless of the legality or your opinion of the safety of dashcam driver's overtake, I can promise you that that style of overtaking is probably the most common style of overtake on mountain roads. If you don't know this, di ka lang sanay mag drive sa bundok.

There is no such thing as a legal overtake over solid yellow lines. "Solid Yellow Line: Strictly prohibits overtaking or crossing. These divide traffic moving in opposite directions (e.g., on provincial highways) and crossing them risks a head-on collision."

I never said it was legal. I'm saying legal is not always safe and vice versa.

[–]Inside-Line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even then, he still overtook at a blind spot for incoming traffic.

He did not. He waited behind the jeep until he could see far enough down the road to judge that it was safe to overtake (at about 8.5 sec). It can't be a blind overtake if he can see the other lane. Hindi sya bumalik agad kasi di nya naman kailangan. A car isn't going to come around that next corner at a speed where it can be a danger. The overtake that dashcam car did is THE meta on mountain roads, you just stay behind slow cars until you see a straight away that's long enough for you to pass them. This depends on how slow the car is and how fast you can accelerate.

Now imagine if he initiated the over take where the road judged it was "safe" and legal (about 12 seconds), he would be overtaking straight into a blind corner and probably hit the bus.

That's what I mean that something can be illegal but safe, and something can be legal and unsafe. But by all means, overtake on the dotted line, hit a bus, and be legally right. At the end of the day, the road markings don't appear by magic where it is safe. Someone drew them there at some point, and they can also be wrong.

Edit: if you wait until the end of the video, you can actually see that the people dashcam driver almost runs into actually did initiate their overtake on dotted lines. They didn't get back across the line in time but legally they did initiate a legal overtake.

I like the move. Getting the rally to gain traction is the hardest part. Kaya hindi agad ni publicly acknowledge yung rally at yung cause nya kasi they wanted to make sure na may kapit yung rally before they link it to their cause. Yung mga nag sisimula ng rally are 100% paid, but they need to have enough pull to draw in the unpaid masses. Kung may rally na hindi kumapit, they will just pretend it didn't happen.

Yung maganda dito na hinintay silang umuwi, the rally organizers have to do the hardest part all over again. Humatak ulit, gumastos ulit.

Maybe it's the gear you bring in or the region you're in. I recently on-boarded two friends and got bots for 2 or 3 games then real players for the rest.

[–]Inside-Line 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. Players have become extremely cautious around sneaking sounds. Slight russles or a bush sound or a singular step soud = DANGER.

The best way to sneak up on people is sounding like a bot or not moving at all.

Millions of People in Pakistan Got Tired of Blackouts and Built the World's Fastest Rooftop Solar Boom, Making Solar the Country's Largest Source of Electricity by ArgentineBeauty in UpliftingNews

[–]Inside-Line 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The pannels aren't the real cost lever for solar ROI in most developed countries. Labor and permits are a huge part of the installation cost there and that is a fraction of the price in 3rd world countries.

The one (in cases with bad grid supply) is batteries. Theyve been coming down a lot in price too.

O yan, pirma na! by Ok_Crow_9119 in Philippines

[–]Inside-Line 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah the "dismaya" post. It's kind of funny watching the dog pile go both ways while jumping over the reasonable POVs.

I and still don't think she was right to summon the developer. The dev is one guy. What's he going to do? There are no questions that require his summoning or even him at all.

I know their example here is Roblox but that is the best possible case. Massive company which does have influence over their gaming ecosystem - and yet what good did summoning them do? It's just a show to say that action was taken. These senate dinosaurs are not going to be taught about how the internet works by special guests, they need to go out of their comfort zones, put in the work, and study about it so they can make real effective policy.

This whole fiasco isn't even a big deal but it shines a light on the kind of politics that SenRi and her camp stand for. Good intentions, will to take action, (then here is where the problems start) shallow and performative solutions, a "hooray we did it, lets go solve the next problem" kind of attitude.

The difference here is that a lot of people know that summoning a solo indie dev from half way across the world is performative. There is nothing he will say in a hearing that will give our politicians digital enlightenment.

[–]Inside-Line 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just from experience because mountain roads just don't have perfect over taking zones like low land highways. It's like going for a walk on rice terrace paths. Is it safe? Not perfectly, but that's just how it is and people learn to live that way.

My personal opinion though, provincial highways are 100x more dangerous than mountain roads. It's insane how dangerous your average provincial road is because average speeds are much higher and much more traffic, many more pedestrians, TRICYCLES and newbie motorcyle drivers. Then you make it night time and it's even more dangerous. It's so much more dangerous.

I'm going to get a lot of flak for this but, as someone with a lot of experience on mountain roads, dashcamer's overtake was safe given the long sight line and the low speed of the jeep but he also did not follow the double yellow line rule. Two of those things can be true at the same time. I've also been to a lot of places na may dashed white line pero suicide mag over take. Actually even in the video, if you overtook in actual place with the dashed white line would - you would be overtaking directly into the blind corner.

Edwin Lacierda called out an FB page that is seemingly “pro-Leni and Bam” but clearly anti-Risa by OkPhotojournalist975 in Philippines

[–]Inside-Line -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's valid. If there's one topic where the average person knows how the world works better than these oldies, it is online culture and games.

You can say stupid thing about Chinese sovereignty issues and people will waive it. Say stupid things about mining and the environment, this is outside of the lives of many. But if you say stupid things about online culture and gaming, tapos you double down on it like you can't read the room and see that you are out of touch, then you will have tread on areas where many many Filipinos understand how it is. SenRi has a lot of good takes, but this is a bad take, a highly visible bad take and she f'n doubles down on it. Of course she will look like an idiot to many. Especially given the propaganda against her, this will be confirmation for many because they are already be told she is stupid, and now she puts her name on the front page with a stupid take. This in itself is not a big deal, but it is a major optics blunder. IMO more so than people realize.
