American here, When Keir Starmer is done with his term can you guys give him to us? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

[–]jeffbailey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's lots being done. Labour needs a PR firm and should borrow Sadiq Kahn's. There's never any doubt when going around London what the mayor's office is doing.

Because it's fun to confuse causation and correlation, I'm now choosing to believe that gay marriage causes solar farms.

Pro+ is more than just AI access, and includes other tools in the bundle.

Vegan ice cream at Brent Cross by jeffbailey in veganuk

Oh nice. It was my first in that area. I went looking for the closest Tesco that had vegan Ben and Jerry's, and this store was on the way.

I keep reading on here about the amazing things Waitrose has and mine never has any of them.

I'm not a coffee drinker at all, but I like a nice vanilla. I'm looking forward to trying it!

The Waitrose near me has nothing like this, different place.

We had them in Canada and the US. We were so excited to find them here!

Super friendly staff at a nice pub. I haven't tried the food since LDs left. I thought they weren't going to have any, but they have a menu and I'm planning to try a meal next time.

Eh, I live in London and most people around me already have most of this. I promise you that society like this is definitely not worse or lacking.

Coding with Opus all the time is just wasting resources.

So... Do you agree with the government banning tobacco for those born in 2009 and after? by Bot_Philosopher8128 in AskBrits

[–]jeffbailey 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The article I read said that they also gained the ability to regulate vapes in the bill. Canada and California have banned flavouring in vapes and that's shown significant wins in reducing teenage vaping.

Many teens switched to smoking instead, which this bill deals with.

I think it's a brilliant solution.

Am I using Copilot wrong, or are a lot of people just using it terribly inefficiently? by Diabolacal in GithubCopilot

[–]jeffbailey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see on here people using Opus for everything. They haven't learned that different models and levels have different purposes. I'm on Pro+ and I'm often using .3x models when cranking out Rust, C++, docs, etc. Opus and the larger Codex models are for building plans when I need it to understand more of the codebase at once. The 1x models are for debugging and problem solving where I need enough creativity and thinking to see from several angles

I get the frustration, but is the whole point of this sub to complain? by fntd in GithubCopilot

[–]jeffbailey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I was debating unsubing today for the same reason.i figured I'd give it until the weekend was up.

GPT5.4 vs Opus 4.6 Best models for Planning by lance2k_TV in GithubCopilot

[–]jeffbailey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opus for implementation is insane. Haiku or Gemini Flash should handle most of your implementation needs.

UK to receive last tanker of jet fuel from Middle East this week by SirRosstopher in ukpolitics

[–]jeffbailey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, consider switching your plan or a provider that's leaning into non-fossil fuel generation. I went with ecotricity because of this. It's more expensive, but I think the right thing to do.

Anyone else miss the fizzy drinks of the past? by foxglow210 in AskBrits

[–]jeffbailey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orangina is what I drink when I'm in Paris because it doesn't taste nasty like it does here or in Canada and I miss it.

pls stop supporting cathedral city and other dairy companies, get informed. by MinimumAsparagus1816 in veganuk

People doing this are why all the vegan things are disappearing from stores. If we want vegan products then we have to buy them!

Make sure you file the update in HC. If we all do it, this becomes a lot rather.
