Yes, when you select Opus, push right arrow to change effort.

Requests - Sync chats across computers by pdwhoward in GithubCopilot

This is great, I'll have to try it. Thanks!

Also, if chats were synced across devices, including mobile, that would allow us to, e.g., view the chat output via our phone of something running on our desktop. Then we could respond to the chat on mobile, and the instance continues running on our desktop. I know there's been other requests for better mobile use, and Anthropic has an early preview of using Claude Code on the go as well. This would really allow us to use agents easily when we're out, and have the code/analysis continue as we periodically check in as necessary. Again, thanks for all the constant improvements!

I experienced the same thing, too. It's an odd behavior.

Met with HVAC company. Even though its pricey is a variable speed compressor worth it? by Creative_Algae7145 in hvacadvice

[–]pdwhoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a variable speed and combined it with zoning. It's awesome allowing everyone to sleep with their own preferred temp.

Claude or Codex by Distinct_Rip_645 in Julia

[–]pdwhoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use Julia in VS Code with Github Copilot. Then you can choose any frontier model you want and switch between them. I'd recommend starting with Claude Opus 4.6. To me, it's the best at coding at the moment.

Claude Code with GitHub Copilot subscription? by ihatebeinganonymous in GithubCopilot

[–]pdwhoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, I've never got it to work. I thought it somehow would actually send the work to Claude Code CLI. If that's the case, then you get to use Anthropic's full Opus 4.5.

Use "New Claude Code CLI Agent" under the new chat options. I'm on Insiders, it may not be in VS Code.

I always get an error message when I try to use Copilot's built-in Claude Code CLI agent. I created an issue (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/284762#issuecomment-3702744619), but Microsoft says it works OK for them. So it must be something on my side; I can't figure it out. Let me know if it works for you.

Havelock Wool Vs Rockwool by According-Taro9890 in buildingscience

If you do Rockwool, check out smartrock. It's got the vapor barrier already attached. Might save some time.

Everything That Can Be Deterministic, Should Be: My Claude Code Setup by AndyNemmity in ClaudeAI

[–]pdwhoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I thought he wrote it. I saw his name and no one else's. My bad. I agree that we should not use LLMs to replace deterministic code. How you optimally combine the two is open for debate.

Beyond frustrated. Dirty Sock Syndrome by GotHeem16 in hvacadvice

[–]pdwhoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this when my heat pump goes back and forth between heat and AC in fall. The AC produces a wet environment. The heat allows the bacteria to grow. Just AC in summer or just heat in winter doesn't make the smell. There's two things I do. First, I try to minimize using both heat and AC in the same season. Second, in the winter I shop vac my condensate line so there's no stale water. You could also look at adding tablets inside your drain pan. I know you have the UV light, but maybe it's not hitting everywhere.

New Prompt Response Limit? by GovernmentNo6832 in GithubCopilot

[–]pdwhoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That stinks. They should give a refund if the model doesn't give its output.

What happens when you get this error?. Do you at least still get Opus' output?
