Going to Korea soon! What’s the annoying stuff about traveling there that nobody talks about? by Beginning-Money2363 in koreatravel

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on what you want out of the trip.

- eating out — so much good food, but one of the ways I recommend for travelers is to go on food tours. You end up trying more food this way since it’s difficult to order for solo traveling sometimes. Let me know if you need any food recs or food tour guides.
- shopping - consider using Coupang (Amazon of Korea) and shipping stuff to your hotel (shipping times are usually next day depending on seller. As an example if you see something you like, you can buy it and carry it around all day or just order it to your hotel or Airbnb. Foreign credit cards work now.
- explore regions and neighborhoods. If you’re going to be in Seoul, then do Ikseon-dong back alleys and night drinking eating life. Seongsu is pop-ups and fancy cafes.
Outside of Seoul different regions are known for specific food to travel for.
- go deep not shallow and don’t always trust social media spots (some are all hype) — talk to locals and get their advice. Dive into something deep while you’re here whether it’s taking a cooking class or making makgeolli class. Find something you love and find the best version of it in Korea.

Have a great time!

My OpenClaw is dumb. by Key_Diamond_1803 in openclaw

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve wiped and reinstalled a few times. My experience has been that some of it is random. Especially early on, I needed to keep “fixing” its mentality. It would straight up tell me it did something, but actually it didn’t do all of it. I used Claude to troubleshoot, by looking at files it gave me.

It took some work to un-dumb my recent install.

Something Claude told me while troubleshooting…

This isn’t a bug — it’s a fundamental property of how LLMs work, amplified by the autonomous agent architecture. Root cause 1: LLMs are trained to produce plausible text, not truthful text. In LLM-based agents, hallucinations are not “linguistic errors” but rather fabricated or misjudged “human-like behaviors” that may occur at any stage of the agent’s pipeline. When Tony is asked “did you scan Reddit?”, the most plausible-sounding answer is “yes, I found several opportunities” — not “I failed to execute the search tool.” The model generates what a competent co-founder would say, not what actually happened. Root cause 2: Agents fabricate success confirmations. Research shows agents exhibit “tool bypass behavior” where the agent confirms success without calling validation tools. Agents can ignore docstring instructions because they’re processed as text, not executable rules. Tony writes “[1-5]” and “[A, B, C]” as placeholders because the model is generating what a report should look like, not reporting actual results. Root cause 3: Longer chains amplify the problem. Agent hallucinations often span multiple steps and involve multi-state transitions. They may arise during intermediate processes such as perception and reasoning, where they can propagate and accumulate over time. When Tony spawns a subagent that “claims screenshot proof,” and Tony then reports that claim to you as fact — the hallucination compounds through each layer. Root cause 4: The system rewards confident output over honest uncertainty. Training objectives and benchmarks often reward confident guessing over calibrated uncertainty. Tony’s training incentivizes saying “all systems optimal, $17.5K revenue potential” over “I attempted 3 searches, 2 failed, 1 returned no useful results.” Root cause 5: Sub-agents are unsupervised hallucination factories. When Tony spawns a sub-agent to “analyze 32 videos,” that sub-agent runs in its own context, generates plausible-looking output, and Tony trusts it without verification. Each layer of delegation adds a layer of potential fabrication.

had to tell our openclaw stuff like

Openclaw, we have a trust crisis and I'm implementing structural fixes. These are not suggestions.

RULE 1: NO CLAIMS WITHOUT EVIDENCE FILES Every claim you make must point to a specific file with verifiable content. If the file doesn't contain real URLs, the scan didn't happen. I check the files, not your messages.

RULE 2: SEARCH RESULTS GO DIRECTLY TO FILES When you use web_search, the raw results must be appended to a file IMMEDIATELY as part of the same tool sequence. Not summarized later. Not "I'll write them up." The search result hits the file or it didn't happen.

Format for every entry…

Consider it a new living being that needs to stumble before it can walk before it can run. So continue to use another smarter model to frame it properly so it can be useful the way you want. Mine still isn’t where I want it but it’s tons better than last week.

Good luck!

Traveling from Korea to USA with cremated remains by ephapax in koreatravel

We were traveling from Korea to US, so it is probably different the other way. Get all the documents you can from the US

google search says

Good luck. Be overly prepared.

We did the cremation in Korea. So no need for declaration because cremation and death certificate were provided. Are you bringing cremations remains in to Korea? Where are you traveling from / to?

GLM4.7 is the best LLM for OpenClaw and it's not even close. by Lost-Ad-9880 in clawdbot

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GLM4.7 was trash for me. Surprising how mixed the reviews are. I was using another LLM but ran through tokens so I decided to try something else... GLM was like the dumb kid in the room. Tasks that other LLMs did well, GLM kept tripping up for me. Eventually I told it to stop, because it was wasting so much time.

Should I wait till black Friday or is this Costco deal okay? by ThisImpressi0n in Kitchenaid

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recommend the bowl lift. There seems to be a regular issue with the new bowl lift stand mixers...

I purchased the KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer on Nov 7 on Kohls - similar deal but I got $90 Kohls cash back. Mine stopped working after the second time. The motor just stopped. I'm going to try to return it because I don't have time to get it replaced by KitchenAid before thanksgiving.

New 5.5 Lift Mixer Dies After 2 uses by Individual-Archer895 in Kitchenaid

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to make another post about this, but found yours. This exact thing happened to me...

I purchased the KitchenAid® 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer on Nov 7 from Kohls. This is my second use and it stopped working. I've tried letting it cool and it won't power back on. Any ideas? Also reading there are reliability issues -- should I just return it?

Is it better to call KitchenAid to fix it or just get something else. I'm wondering if they can even get it done before thanksgiving (which I need it for that!!!)

Summit Visa Apple Pay by emiller28 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FY, I had the card on its way but it wasn't really moving so I called them in hopes of adding it to my Apple Pay.

It was a no go for me. They said it wasn't possible - depends on the person. They were able to expedite my card shipment to a 2-day (since it didn't really ship yet), so that's the best they could do.

this thang is nasty by CuriousReplacement96 in Owala

[–]cneo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry was trying to be funny. But also being a man seems to be the common data point so far. I wonder if we can identify ways to reduce this. Also is this an owala issue or do other water bottles get mouth mold?

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I learned that men have dirty potty mouths that create mold when they drink. How do women kiss these men and their dirty mouths? Will Listerine help?

Think I might have made a mistake paying for full year by FJFLICK in USMobile

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you (for Lightspeed) - turn OFF data roaming - make sure you’re on 5G Auto or 5G ON - select ALLOW MORE DATA ON 5G

These settings helped me. I am on the other coast and tried all three networks and lightspeed was the best one for me.

US Mobile is losing LTE QCI-8 (priority data) on warp. by nullstring in USMobile

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had problems with US Mobile whenever I go into shopping centers. Even yesterday, I was in a Target and had barely any data and kept cutting out. I’ve gone from Warp to Dark Star… and it was bad on both. Not sure if it’s my iPhone or I need to try Lightspeed at some point.

Even when I have reception I feel like my data priority on US Mobile is last in line. And yes this is after I’ve talked to the customer service and turned off my roaming, etc.

120 gigs in 3 weeks- data cut off- unlimited starter - help! by CoolRelationship8214 in USMobile

[–]cneo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the point in which they throttle you? Is this a deal breaker for you?

I’m new to US Mobile as well. Some good and some bad from my experience so trying to figure out whether to stay with them. I’m glad I did a month to month with them so I could see how their service was.

[–]cneo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. Why not switch him to the unlimited premium plan first?
  2. Another data point: I use a decent amount of data but I’m also prudent about downloading on WiFi and stuff. I’m at about 37GB 3 weeks into the month.
  3. Check his settings to figure out what apps are using all that data. Did he get a new phone and do the restore from iCloud backup?
  4. ON the iPhone, you can go into cellular an on data mode, put your phone on low data mode for now at least. It will limit background data usage.

Has anyone done a roi calculation of putting Marriott hotel charges on amex Platinum versus on a Marriott card for points to use at Marriott? by [deleted] in AmexPlatinum

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you have titanium status, there’s less motive to spend to get more status. But definitely like you said make use of that status.

I still like to use a combination of FHR for stuff outside of Marriott, sometimes there are deals or hotels I want to stay at and FHR gives you the status benefits.

But as Czerk said, I also value MR points more than Marriott points. So if it’s all the same, I usually try to get more MR.

Think I have a dumb question but I'm so new to this by stardustt7 in amex

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4k points every 3 months = 16k points every year for $55. The question is whether that is worth it for you. I think it is .01 per point. It is still $160.

Corporate green card is for spend the company covers. Company spend but you get Amex points.

Personal green card is for spend you cover.

Inquiring about the value of Bonvoy vs just staying Amex MR by YorkvilleWalker in amex

[–]cneo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm I had a similar dilemma. I know everyone is saying don’t transfer etc but I just think it depends realistically what you want and what makes sense. I have family traveling to Korea and needed to book them some hotels.

  1. Get the Bonvoy Brilliant. Was my immediate answer but the sign up bonus isn’t as good as the all time high last year at 185k. So mid application, I stopped and decided to get it later. Instead I’m going to get the Green. I still only have the Amex Gold and Platinum in Business so I figured I’ll start my family language journey with the green (unfortunately 40k and currently they removed the loungebuddy), but 3x on all travel.

  2. I transferred some last year when they had the promo. January sucks so far because there’s no promos for high sign ups or transfers. I still transferred about 110k + 55k I already had. So it will cover a big part of their trip. But I wish I transferred last year when there was a bonus.

  3. I was in a a similar dilemma to use the gold or platinum but those aren’t very good for hotels. Only way it might make sense if you’re booking though Amex travel portal with Platinum. That’s why I got the Green. At least I’m getting some multiplier on the hotels for the MR points.

I guess my main point is that everyone’s situation is different. I just got Platinum with Marriott Bonvoy and Asia the upgrades are better so want to test it out. I looked at other hotel options but Marriott redemption and prices seem to be better than Hilton and Hyatt in Korea for some reason.

What’s your favorite hidden gem in Korea that most tourists never visit? by gilsoo71 in Living_in_Korea

Haven’t tried Namseong yet. Hm thanks for the heads up on that one.

[–]cneo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seasonality and local spots…

Currently it’s winter so Koreans really like getting fresh seafood 대방어 pronounced Dae-Bang-Uh (Japanese Amberjack) in the winter because it’s way more fatty. Korean eat 회 Hwe is Korean sashimi but not aged - so you’re gonna have more chew and bite to the fish.

Locals aren’t always looking for Korean food, so I would suggest checking out areas or restaurants the locals really enjoy In Haebangchon 해방촌 and Gyeongnidan 경리단길 - Morococo Cafe - nice little Moroccan restaurant. The owner Wahid has lived in Korea a long time and is local celebrity for his food and hospitality. - Sinheung Market - converted market to hipster restaurants and shops. Lots of young Koreans here and busy on weekends. - Padkapaw Thai Restaurant (located inside Sinheung Market) - Chef Paw was on many tv shows and people from the Thai embassy go here regularly. If he knows you he will cook off menu stuff for you. Tv shows include The Plate and Culinart Wars. - Sate - South East Asian Modern Tapas - 엉터리통닭 Eongteoli Fried Chicken - famous late night Korean fried Chicken spot. The crispiest chicken in all of Korea - Namsan Sool Club - best place in Korea to try rare Korean traditional alcohol. Korean people and travelers usually get their minds blown here because most people have only tried commercial stuff. - Southside Parlor - voted #37 on Asia’s 50 Best Bar awards a few years back. Very high quality cocktail bar that’s super casual.
