Looks like I have access to gpt-5.6-terra and luna. How does one decide between gpt-5.5 and gpt-5.6-terra? Pricing is similar, but it's hard to tell if it's better..

I personally use opencode so I can swap between models and try different options. I'd say I prefer claude (fable and opus 4.8) so far, but curious to see where gpt 5.6 lands. For personal stuff, I've been pretty happy with chatgpt

And debit / credit cards are horrible for privacy (name and address info is sent along with payments).

Agreed. To me this feels like the perfect solution for websites and ai crawlers. Instead of having crawlers paying proxy services and captcha solvers, they can pay the website itself. As a web scraper, I'd happily pay the website provi

Android does this fairly well for me - it will list out the options as they are spoken, and you can click on them directly to type the number. I believe (but haven't seen this recently) it will pre-render the options before they are re

I feel like the general consensus on most of the recent layoffs were that they severance was pretty generous. If it seems to be working okay, why do we need to introduce additional inefficiencies to get something we already have?

Maybe, but I have heard the exact same experience from my Dad and others that have worked with unions. It unfortunately seems to attract people trying to take advantage of the system. Personally if I were offered similar jobs, one with a un

Gemini thinks my name is my brother in law's name, and despite explicitly telling it that's not my name + digging through the settings, it still amusingly calls me the wrong name.

Even in those cases I'd prefer to just be able to natively search the content that has been lazy loaded. I've run into more than one website where the search functionality they bound to control-f is horrible.

Any idea way "5x or 20x more usage" means?

Don't you still have to worry about big bills since bunny bills based on usage?

Thank you! Just realized someone else recommended this a hour ago as well, oops.

Thanks for building this! Feature request: I'd love to be able to share a search results page with a friend. If you update the url to include the location or zip code I am searching for (ex: https://www.govauctions.app/

I am hunting for houses - I've used it as an assistant that catalogs them (but it has this stored in multiple places and will give me the wrong list a lot). I also had it read through my emails and create a doc with my upcoming trips.

I have it installed in a VM, and overall it's fairly useful, but very buggy. Right now I can send it a message asking it something, and it won't answer. I typically have to follow up 2 or 3 times before I get an actual response. T

More broadly, I'd say if you don't have something to retire to (kids or otherwise), don't.

I've found this to be the case as well. My typical workflow is: 1. Have the ai come up with an implementation plan based on my requirements 2. Iterate on the implementation plan / tweak as needed, and write it to a markdown file 3

Back in 2019 I created a Google Spreadsheet titled "family debts" that allows my family (4 siblings and my parents) to record when we owe each other money, and periodically settle up. I later learned that I recreated Splitwise, bu

Yeah, if the telegram and whatsapp spam I get is any reading, limiting by phone number is not sufficient.

If it's an all out race between the different AI providers, then it's logical for OpenAI to hire employees that are pre-trained rather than training up more internally.

Switzerland's wealth tax is a lot more reasonable though. UK is 2%, Norway is 1.1%, the Swiss ones are all below 1% (depends on your canton), ex the Zug canton is 0.21%.

Something like a `/raw` suffix would be amazing. Example: ` https://www.dum.pt/dump/302460a1-1ed0-40b0-b637-e9d04a168678... `.

In normal cases I mostly agree - you can just charge it while taking a shower or something that you do every day. That said, Garmin's battery life shines when you are using it on a non-normal day. Overnight camping, and sleeping in a t
