I’ve been researching setups and can’t decide between going indoor or outdoor. Indoor seems more controlled, but outdoor looks more flexible if you don’t have the space and realistic. For those who’ve tried both or picked one, what made you decide?
I’m looking for a laptop sleeve for commuting and there are way too many options. Curious what people think actually matters most (padding, material, pockets etc)? TIA!
Someone in a Facebook group I'm in posted about V6's longer output like two weeks ago. I skimmed it, thought "cool I guess," and kept scrolling.
I've been getting pretty sick of the generating micro 5 second clips routine. Stitching together 3-5 different tiny segments just to make a basic social reel is a slow grind, something that I feel like I can't afford (or maybe I am just lazy). Whatever.
I didn't actually go back to try it on purpose. I had a boring afternoon with a low-stakes client clip, the kind of job where literally no one would notice if the output was mid and I figured I'd just mess around with it instead of doing things properly.
The first few renders were not unusable, wait no, they were, basically total garbage. The character's legs basically turned into liquid around the 12-second mark and the background started warping, typical AI janky stuff. I closed the tab and went back to stitching 5-second clips like a normal person. Spent another 40 minutes on it. Fun.
A couple days later I was procrastinating on a different project and went back. I eventually realized I was over-thinking my prompt and got too technical. I simplified the instructions, let the motion engine do the heavy lifting, and finally got a stable 15s render. I honestly wasn't sure if it was going to hold up past the 10s mark. I was literally watching the progress bar waiting for something to break. It's nothing mind-blowing or fancy, but being able to put together a 30s reel with just one stitch instead of a few saved me what felt like a lot of time. Hard to say if that's repeatable or if I just got lucky with the prompt, I haven't run enough tests to know.
I think in a way we are a bit "spoilt" with all these tools out there. But I also still don't fully trust any of them for anything a client actually cares about. Given the attention span of viewers though, whatever workflow saves time is probably fine.
I’ve been using Cell Fusion and Round Lab and I genuinely like both, but my foundation always ends up pilling on top of them.
Even when I try to tap it in gently instead of rubbing, it still clumps up and ruins my base. It’s gotten to the point where I’m dreading doing my makeup in the morning because I never know if it’s going to cooperate or not.
I know people always say to wait for your sunscreen to fully dry before applying makeup, but that’s honestly not realistic for me. My mornings are rushed and I don’t have time to sit around waiting for layers to set perfectly.
At this point I feel like I just need something that layers better under makeup.
Ideally I want something that doesn’t pill, feels lightweight and hydrating, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a white cast. I’m really picky with texture so anything heavy or sticky is a no for me.
If anyone has found a sunscreen that actually works well under makeup, please share 😭 I’m tired of my base getting ruined every morning
I'm a gym newbie! Curious what small gym bag essentials people swear by?
Was finally settled into a solid two model workflow, claude code for complex reasoning and glm-5.1 for daily coding. Then DeepSeek V4 preview dropped a few days ago and now I’m second guessing everything
V4-Pro looks strong. 1.6T params, 49B active, 1M context, 80.6% on SWE-bench Verified which is basically tied with opus. API at $1.74/$3.48 per M tokens and open source under MIT
GLM-5.1 has been consistent for me tho. Topped SWE-Bench Pro, #3 on Code Arena, and the self-correction across long sessions is something I actually rely on now. API runs around $1/$3.2 so slightly cheaper
Haven’t tried V4 but its a preview and a few days old so i kinda doubt the performance on real multi-file work over longer sessions. GLM-5.1 i already trust from weeks of actual use
Has anyone tried both on actual projects yet? I’m trying to decide if i should shake up my workflow or just stick with what works
Hey guys, I’ll be in Dallas soon and wanted to treat myself to a really good steak. Whats your go-to steakhouse? Looking for something actually worth the price, not just hype. Open to any area-appreciate the recs!
