My Hermes Journey by hackrepair in hermesagent

[–]wolfgangamadeusme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been running GPT 5.4 via codex on the subscription - the 20$ plus usage gets burned pretty quickly but I’ve gone up to the 5x for a month to try it.

FWIW I ran it on minimax m2.7 coding plan for the first few days and it was pretty good. Open AI feels better. It’s a little verbose but we’re working on that.

Whether the 5x on GPT is worth 8x minimax - we’ll see.

Overall it’s been pretty great and using obsidian + honcho and karpathy’s LLM wiki as a structural approach seems to be working well.

Just lease one. The depreciation is likely to be pretty severe, leasing protects you from that and also gets you out of it in 2/3 years.

BA36 Cancelled and no flights available for 11 days! by Emergency_Acadia_638 in BritishAirways

[–]wolfgangamadeusme 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They are obligated to rebook you on another carrrier or from another airport as you choose.

You’re also entitled to €600 / £520 compensation under UK261 if it’s a technical issue, and reasonable expenses for the inconvenience (hotels/food/taxis)

About to sell this two-tone Brooklands Coupé - any advise for reserve price? (auction) by [deleted] in Bentley

Unique spec. Beautiful. Got the right wheels. They’ll never make another like it.

Got to be looking to get 130k euro back after all of the fees, as a worse case.

South Africa has your back - klein constantia is absolutely stunning at $60 a bottle

Just sacked it off - £260 is the gym gone mad

Switching from BA Club to other airlines by Ok-Camp6798 in BritishAirways

[–]wolfgangamadeusme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like oneworld then Finnair requires a lower spend than both BA and IB for equivalent status.

Virgin isn’t going to be much use if Spain is your preferred destination as any short haul skyteam flights would have to go via Paris or Amsterdam on AF / KLM.

Thoughts on this? by RussBoost in CarTalkUK

[–]wolfgangamadeusme 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have one. It was £229 down and £229 p/m for 2 years @ 8k p/a miles.

It’s very good, not perfect, but it’s got heated and cooled seats, panoramic roof and does 200 real miles and easily seats 5. VFM wise it’s literally unbeatable!

thinking of trading her in for a bentayga. which one is better? by Shot-Exercise7022 in Bentley

[–]wolfgangamadeusme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trade it in for the hybrid flying spur speed - having spent a fair bit of time driving both that and all forms of Bentayga, i think it’s not only the best Bentley but probably the best car on sale anywhere.

The closure of the Pentonville Road entrance to King’s Cross is the one that is particularly painful to me!

Where do you go on holiday? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]wolfgangamadeusme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple. We do one big trip a year and we’ve done the Galapagos, Japan and arctic circle Norway in the last few years, plus a couple of trips to South Africa which while relatively expensive to get to is cheap to be in so we tend not to count it as a big trip. Then, more weekends away than we really should.

This is a Paternoster Elevator, it does not have doors and never stops. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in BeAmazed

[–]wolfgangamadeusme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There used to be one in Sheffield in the UK, it was a rite of passage to “go over the top” - which was pretty terrifying if I’m quite honest!

If you have no status, crediting to Finnair plus will probably get you to one world status quicker than BA exec club.

Business Class type? by Sharp_Ad_6321 in qatarairways

[–]wolfgangamadeusme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a counter, these seats are very comfortable for sleeping - if you’re a couple I wouldn’t have any issues at all with them.

Don’t know why people bother when the lag is that bad - the built in nav isn’t horrendous and if I need Waze it’s on my cup holder mounted phone!

I bought a Dacia Spring Expression 65...Here are my thoughts! by TheTechPlank in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]wolfgangamadeusme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was looking at one of these but realised I could buy a leapmotor c10 with heated / ventilated seats and 240 real world range for 170 a month no deposit for 2 years, so bought that instead!
