Not asking for a sales pitch, genuinely trying to identify what I’m seeing. We’re pricing a hotel corridor and guest room refresh for 2026, and two competitor walkthroughs mentioned switching the old PTAC mess to a cleaner commercial replacement using a heat pump setup. One had what looked like compact indoor units tucked above the ceiling with access panels, another looked more like small wall units with shared outdoor equipment. Owner keeps asking for the “best heat pump” and I keep telling him that phrase means nothing until we know noise, condensate route, room downtime, balcony space, service access, and how fast housekeeping can turn rooms during work. Any builder here done a hotel replacement where the HVAC choice did not wreck the schedule? What system type should I be looking at before the MEP team turns this into a 90 page guessing game?

so I was really looking forward to facing Guardiola's City again one day. Now that Pep's leaving, looking back on that final showdown, I guess we brought out the best in each other. I actually admire Guardiola a lot, and I wish him all the best.

The stress is honestly worse than the money.

When my laptop SSD failed, I didn’t even care about the laptop itself. I was only thinking about years of photos, documents, and unfinished projects sitting inside it.

I contacted a few recovery companies and some replies felt super generic. Werecoverdata at least explained things in a normal human way which made the situation feel slightly less overwhelming.

Definitely backing up everything after this mess.

I don’t know if this is weird to admit out loud, but ever since having kids I honestly haven’t fully felt like myself physically/confidence-wise.

Not even in a dramatic way. Just little things that slowly started bothering me more over time, especially when it comes to intimacy and body confidence. I kept telling myself I was probably overthinking it because nobody really talks openly about this stuff after childbirth.

Lately I’ve been randomly researching women’s wellness stuff online at night instead of sleeping lol, and somehow I ended up going down a huge Korea wellness/clinic rabbit hole. I genuinely didn’t realize how advanced some of the women’s clinics there are until recently.

One place I came across was Podo Woman Clinic (podowoman.com) in Seoul, which honestly surprised me because I only ever associated Korea with skincare and beauty clinics before.

I’m not even saying I’d definitely do anything, but it made me curious whether other women quietly deal with this kind of insecurity too and just never talk about it openly.

Please tell me I’m not the only one 😭

Spurs genuinely being dragged into a relegation conversation in 2026 feels like the most tottenham thing imaginable. One week they look capable of beating a top four side, the next they concede three goals to a team that couldn’t score in weeks. The squad still has quality, but the mentality looks completely broken.

What’s wild is that this isn’t even about talent anymore. It’s injuries, confidence, and a club culture that somehow turns every crisis into dark comedy. The atmosphere around the club feels toxic, fans are exhausted, and every away game looks like survival football now.

That said, I still think they stay up. Barely. There are worse teams in the league, and spurs usually find a chaotic way to escape disaster at the last second. But honestly, even surviving this season shouldn’t be considered a success. It’s a warning sign.

Gemini CLI repo-bot moving toward skills-based composition, and my biggest takeaway is maybe the truly hard problem is not the skills themselves, but how decisions get made between them.

One skill says we should first fill in more context, one subagent says we should fix the bug first, and another thinks we should roll back directly. On the surface, this looks like an orchestration problem, but in practice it often comes down to a very traditional question: who compares the complex paths, and who decides which route carries lower risk?

This is also why I thought of a thinking model like Ring 2.6 1T. I probably would not keep it in the entire chain, but I would seriously consider this: when task decomposition is difficult, when outputs from several skills conflict with each other, or when multiple execution paths need to be compared, should there be a heavy reasoning layer with high / xhigh options specifically reserved for closing out these hard decisions?

I’m skeptical of the idea that one model can handle the whole stack. It feels more like most steps do not need the heaviest layer, but once you hit skill conflict / path comparison / difficult decomposition, you may genuinely need a deep-review slot.

If you’ve built a similar runtime yourself, where would you place the heavy reasoning model? Would you involve it across the full chain from the beginning, or only bring it in after conflicts and forks appear?

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez, left winger Cole Palmer, and right winger Pedro Neto are all set to come back for the FA Cup match against Man City. Chelsea are about to end their recent run without any fit wingers.

Right now Manchester City are two points behind Arsenal, and looking at the remaining fixtures, Arsenal honestly seem to have the easier path from here.

This round, Arsenal managed to beat a struggling West Ham United side 1-0 thanks to a goal from Leandro Trossard. It definitely wasn’t an easy game, but that’s the thing about title winning teams sometimes you just have to grind out ugly wins, and Arsenal actually did it.

As for City, they clearly haven’t taken their foot off the gas either. Nobody is doubting Pep Guardiola and this squad when it comes to handling pressure. But this time feels different. For once, it feels like Arsenal aren’t collapsing mentally in the run in. Mikel Arteta and his players genuinely look locked in and focused on the finish line.

City still look united and dangerous, but they may have already lost control of the title race. One more mistake and it could be over. Arsenal just keep finding ways to win, and that’s usually the biggest sign that a team is ready to become champions.

Honestly, if you ask me about City’s chances of winning the league this season, I’d still never fully write them off because they’re City. But right now? It feels more like Arsenal’s title to lose than City’s title to win.

so last night cristiano ronaldo, at 41, had a pretty rough game losing the ball more times than I can count. But honestly, can we really blame him anymore? At this point, we’ve got to accept that he’s not the unstoppable machine he used to be.

With the world cup just a month away, the big question is: what can he realistically bring to this portugal squad? Right now, Portugal has one of the most excellent midfields in the world. Ironically, the spot getting the most criticism is c-Ronaldo’s own striker role.

For this portugal team, the main goal is obviously lifting the world cup. But ronaldo’s decline could very well be a hurdle on that path. Don’t get me wrong he can still show flashes of that old magic on the pitch. But let’s face it, age is catching up, and even legends have to confront that.

Honestly, I think it might be time for martínez to consider putting the goat on the bench. It’s a bitter pill, but maybe that’s what’s best for the team.

That would give us two holding midfielders for the No.6 role and one advanced playmaker for the No.8 role. Let’s not even consider players like Anderson who are basically non starters right now. It’s still early days anyway. He’s barely made the Brazil national team squad. Also if we sign Matheus Fernandes is he just there to replace Mason Mount? Does that mean Mount’s on his way out too?

The most underrated agent capability is not autonomy. It is a restraint. Autonomy demos are easy to make look impressive. The agent opens tools, makes plans, rewrites files, searches, calls APIs, summarizes its own progress, and keeps going. The problem is that “keeps going” is exactly what makes a lot of agent systems dangerous in real work.

A useful agent model should know when the next action is not another tool call. Sometimes the correct move is to stop, preserve state, ask for a missing constraint, hand off to a human, or produce a small auditable plan instead of pretending the task is fully solved.

This is where I think a lot of agent evaluations are backwards. We reward models for completing tasks end-to-end, but we do not punish them enough for three common failure modes:

continuing after the task boundary became unclear; inventing a missing requirement instead of asking for it; producing a “finished” artifact that no one can safely inspect.

I have been looking at newer open models through this lens, including Ling-2.6-1T. What makes it interesting is not just the size. It is the combination of long-context handling, tool-calling orientation, coding/workflow positioning, and an explicit push toward lower token overhead. That is basically the shape of a model you would test as a planner or controller inside an agent stack, not as a magical employee that should run forever.

The harness matters more than the model name, though. My ideal agent setup would treat the main model as a conservative planner. It should break down the task, decide what evidence is missing, route small steps to cheaper executors, validate outputs, and stop when confidence is not high enough.

The “stop condition” should be a first-class output, not an afterthought. For example, I would want every agent run to end in one of four states: completed with evidence, blocked by missing input, handed off for review, or failed with a useful trace. Anything else is just vibes with tool access.

Curious if anyone here is explicitly benchmarking stop behavior. Do your agents have a real handoff protocol, or do they just keep looping until they hit a budget limit?

One idea that does not get enough attention is that beginners in volatile markets should not focus on making money right away. The first goal is much simpler: stay in the game.

Fast moving markets can be unforgiving. Without experience, it is easy to overtrade, ignore risk, or react emotionally to short term price swings. This often leads to losses that could have been avoided with better discipline.

Some traders approach this by treating the early stage as a learning phase. Tools like copy trading and paper trading can act as a kind of safe zone. They allow beginners to observe how strategies behave, understand risk management, and build consistency without immediate pressure.

The idea is not to avoid real trading forever, but to delay unnecessary losses while building habits. Learning how to manage position size, control drawdowns, and stick to a plan can matter more than chasing quick returns.

In that sense, survival is not passive. It is an active process of learning when not to trade, how to manage risk, and how to wait for better opportunities.

I’d love to hear how everyone navigated this initial phase when they first entered the field.

Ever since Cherki scored that goal against Arsenal, his habit of holding onto the ball too long at the edge of the box has gotten worse, and it has lasted for several games in a row. I already said it in the Burnley game—playing like this will cause big problems sooner or later. It’s only that Burnley lack counter-attacking threat, but he already gifted away a goal in the FA Cup, and I don’t even want to talk about this match. Back then many people only hyped up his stats and even tried to forcefully justify his playing style.
