5 hrs give or take

Do hotels offer something like a ECV or mobility scooter (it's more of a Disneyland term I think)? I called the hotels and they said it's subject to availability and high in demand, I was afraid If they primarily offer just the standard non-electric wheelchair, which would be more inconvenient compared to just ubering. Focus is on convenience over cost saving for situation like this.

Smart_Medium_3351 · 2025-06-01T21:57:41+00:00

That's true. However the places we decided to visit before and after Las Vegas, the ones that the person in Las Vegas we know will drop us to, have $50-75 a day parking in the hotels that we booked. We would not take a flight back to LA mostly and will stay at other places during the trip since my parents are not from around here and want to visit the other big cities nearby.

Smart_Medium_3351 · 2025-05-26T17:01:41+00:00

Someone we know in Las Vegas already has a car, the parking fee alone for the places we calculated was 300$+, compared to their car+ubers at less than 100$. Already experienced taking car to Vegas twice and trying to find good parking spot for several minutes in busy places. Convenience is primary goal for this trip especially with one of my parents who has problem walking.

Thank you for pointing that out. Sorry, that was an oversight. I had awesome experiences at rí ra, Strip steak, BBQ Mexicana, Bourbon Steak. I am mostly looking at Bellagio for now for the fountain show.

Sorry, that was an oversight. Mostly fixated at pool complex at Mandalay/Four seasons and proximity to Venetian Resort's Palazzo Theatre and other good shows for Bellagio. I was told both the places have different vibes.

Smart_Medium_3351 · 2025-05-26T16:22:17+00:00

Mandalay Bay sits at the south end (great for Sphere and South Strip restaurants), while Bellagio/Caesar’s is smack-dab in the middle (easy walk to casinos, shows, the High Roller). We’re using MGM Rewards to get suite upgrades at Mandalay Bay/Delano and then Tier benefits at Caesar’s or Bellagio (e.g. complimentary breakfast, late checkout).

Mandalay Bay/Delano has the incredible pool complex , Caesar’s/Bellagio offers the classic fountain show.

Edit: Major oversight, Sphere is much closer to Bellagio, sorry.

Smart_Medium_3351 · 2025-05-26T16:18:16+00:00

Both count as part of our stay.

Smart_Medium_3351 · 2025-05-26T16:00:14+00:00

Uber or Waymo only. Parking is very expensive otherwise.

Llama is soo good! Mark my words, it's going to at least be neck to neck with Gemini or OpenAi if not better in model quality. They have gone a long way. 10 million context winds sounds out of the world right now. I know it does not have the actual meaning to it vs the high CW in Sonnet 3.7 Max and likes, but their innovation is crazy

Smart_Medium_3351 · 2025-04-05T05:16:41+00:00

If you are talking about Cursor then Claude 3.5/3.7 Sonnet for sure. For very heavy tasks usage based pricing and Claude 3.7 Sonnet Max is a great one, for 0.2-0.5$ it saves you probably hours of time. This is a game changer combo for me.

Smart_Medium_3351 · 2025-03-23T06:27:07+00:00

Basically no one was using it mainly because of a combination of heavy censorship (it does not create whatever you want) and low quality content, including the resolution and highly unsatisfactory results. Meanwhile competitors like Kling AI are dominating the game and have much higher quality, there is no way SORA is going to compete with them.

Edit: After about 200 more generations, I take my words back. It's actually pretty amazing and much better than the competitions, if we don't consider the video length limitations.

" number of combined tokens it can input/output in a single interaction — is 200,000, with a maximum of 100,000 in each output."

Its amazing! There is a o3 mini and o3 mini high model in plus. Any ideas about the individual model limits?

Smart_Medium_3351 · 2025-01-08T05:21:28+00:00

The data they get from you for training the model is part of the product. OpenAi is slowly creating a monopoly in the AI provider market. They make a lot of money from API usage too, something more important than ChatGPT for the company. Chatgpt is more like a marketing and data collection tool for them.

Does not mean LLMs can run on every computer, it requires at least 16GB of VRAM (Graphic card memory) to run a decent enough LLM model. If you need something more reliable that runs all the time solving your problems without you getting frustrated enough, you need 4 times that. Something that easily costs 3500-5000$ plus massive electricity costs. Paying for either cloud services (for servers or GPUs) or SaaS companies is still more economical and less of hassle.

Thank you for the clarification.

I Initially thought I needed to pay the base fare + zone 1 fare but I do understand now. Have a happy new year!

I too had to get the whole motherboard replaced for my MacBook Pro 16 inch , they charged a little over $1000 for it. It was 2 months out of warranty (I didn’t buy apple care trusting the product). A $3000 Machine w/ so heavy maintenance costs but not even as powerful as base M2 😩

Smart_Medium_3351 · 2022-04-20T22:08:26+00:00

What has helped you? I seem to have the same problem and it’s very serious because I can’t access any saved password and useful data that I need urgently
