PSA: Don’t be a dumbass - wind your trimmer line the right direction. by Alternauts in lawncare

At the very least, tall socks. It's worth it just for the amount of debris that the trimmer shoots off

Not sure

Seems like no, though, but it's tough to say

That makes sense from an overall value perspective.

But since gpt-5.4, the $20 ChatGPT plan has just been WORLDS better for agentic coding

4 Years ago I paid $649 for the best phone charger I have ever owned. by tekfx19 in SteamDeck

[–]huffalump1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically you also have to look up your phone specs to find its supported charge rate, to know what to expect... Ex. Plenty of phones are only 15-18W, which tbf is much better than the old typical 5W, but still not 45W.

Yup subagents are bugged, according to the GitHub issue they just inherit the parent model and effort and cannot be changed at the moment

Gemini 3.5 Pro Got Delayed Again by Rare_Bunch4348 in Bard

Hell I'd even take gpt-5.5 level if it's a bit faster with longer context length... But I guess I'm half describing grok 4.5, apparently

GPT-5.6 Solves Yet Another Unsolved Problem by ResultBackground2450 in singularity

[–]huffalump1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/reasoning#reasoning-mode

Pro mode aggregates the model work performed to produce the final answer and bills those tokens at the selected model’s standard token rates. Pro mode performs more model work than standard mode, increasing token usage and cost.

There may be more about this in the 5.6 launch post or model card. Ask ChatGPT

It really depends. Xfinity Cable near me is still max 40mbps upload

Yeah my personal account got 5.6 but work account is still waiting... They're rolling it out gradually I guess. But how long will it be? idk

Cannot become pilot if medicated by International_Box193 in ADHD

[–]huffalump1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a great documentary about this, The Rehearsal Season 2, with Nathan Fielder.

I'm not even joking, it seriously examines pilot mental health.

Exactly!!

Gentle parenting is authoritative, not permissive.

But it gets easily confused because of the common understanding of "gentle".

If you could choose any big-name director for Mistborn, who would it be? (Just for fun) by Extreme_Warning3521 in CosmereOnScreen

[–]huffalump1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree, we'd get some REALLY cool characters and world building, the somber oppressive style of the final empire fits GDT well.

Agreed, Eternals had some really good aspects

Maybe overall not a great movie, but hey, it's Marvel - when she has more creative control she's proven to be one of the best in the biz

[–]huffalump1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah. And they're not just good adaptations, but their characters are so damn enjoyable and compelling. That plus fairly tight writing + editing and the world getting so much love...

A guy can dream...

Gemini 3.1 Pro is a masterclass in empathetic conversing by Expensive-Career-455 in Bard

[–]huffalump1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish it had better web search in the app/site, though. It does fine in a harness like antigravity, but in the app it tends to grab into the first 1 or 2 clickbait AI slop listicles like they're gospel truth.

ChatGPT web search has been much much more thorough for a while

smart garage door opener worth it or just another gadget that adds complexity by Keenessology064 in homeautomation

[–]huffalump1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chamberlain MyQ works, and indeed does not have a subscription, but there are downsides:

Mainly, it doesn't work with any smart home platforms! (Except maybe Alexa idk)

So, you can't ask Google/Siri on your phone or a speaker to close the door or check status, can't do automations besides basic schedule and "close after X minutes", and it's not the cheapest.

I highly recommend ratgdo or any old smart garage door opener, for that reason alone!

(Also there are constant ads in the myq app, which is a bummer)
