I’m planning a pretty big Asia trip that will consist of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore and Bali in October + November. My trip from Vietnam onwards is pretty much sussed but I’m having a kind of tricky time figuring out the Thailand part which is where my trip will begin! I’m female and in my very early 30s so I’m definitely more leaning towards experiencing good food (maybe a cooking class or two), a little bit of a relax and also some adventure / day tours. I also love to hike and I’m really into my photography so anywhere I can grab good snaps is a bonus. I’m not overly fussed on partying hard but of course it’s Thailand so if I end up there, I’d always go with the flow 🙂 (I’m engaged but partner can’t join me for first part of trip so deciding to go solo).

I went to Koh Samui last year and absolutely loved it so know I want to spend a good chunk checking out more beaches / islands. I’m really keen to explore some city life as well and I know Khao Sok is highly recommend so as I have plenty of time I’ve put that in as well. I’m very conscious of how hit and miss October weather can potentailly be but I’m freelance and have a good chunk of free-time coming up so October / November is a great time for me. I went to Samui in May and didn’t really mind a bit of rain here and there.

The dates I roughly have are **7th October > 25th October,** this is just for the Thailand part!

**Here’s what I have so far >**

**Bangkok >** I’ll arrive here, I’ve estimated *roughly* 4/5 days, first day being a relax day (I’m flying from UK and stopping over in Dubai so a pretty long journey) and the last day being a travel day which’ll likely be to Krabi. Inbetween I’ve got a tour to hit all the major temples, another day to explore the floating market etc. and then I’m sort of open to suggestions. I’m thinking a midnight food tour might be fun here too. I can shorten this but I think this’ll give me enough flexibility to recoup and chill a little before quite a long trip.

**I’ll then travel to Krabi / Ao Nang >** I’ve put 7 days here, first day being a travel day from Bangkok (flight + taxi to wherever I’m staying), last day being a travel day to Khao Sok (I don’t want to overload myself on the travel days and would rather leave these pretty relaxed to get from A to B). In those days I’ve got typical tours like Phi Phi, Railay etc. all the island hopping I can fit in. I did initially think about staying on Phi Phi and Koh Yao Noi for a few nights but it was feeling like a lot, any suggestions here would be AWESOME. If it’s feisable I can consider it but I’m maybe leaning towards having Krabi as a base and doing these as day trips. Especially as I’ll need to come back to Krabi to travel to Khao Sok anyways. I’m sort of taking this as a bit of a chill week before things get hecitc again.

**From Krabi I’ll go to Khao Sok >** Got 3 nights here, on the travel day up I’ll probably treat myself to somewhere and then the other 2 will be in the floating bungalows (I’m favouring Smiley bungalows as I like that they offer transfers following the 2 nights). I think Smiley offer some tours around the national park but if not I’ll definitely add those on the days I’m there.

**From Khao Sok >** I’d planned to transfer to Surat Thani to fly up to Chiang Mai where I maybe have 4/5 days, last day being a flight from Chiang Mai to Hanoi. I’d definitely love to fit in a day to visit the Elephant Park and potentially hike Monk’s Trail but really open to suggestions here. Is that too long? I’d also read Pai is worth a visit.

**From Chiang Mai >** As mentioned I’ll need to fly to Hanoi and this date will definitely be the 25th October as I’m planning to join a group tour (with Feel Free Travel) from the 26th October that will be in Vietnam and Cambodia.

Can anyone help me fill the gaps or rearrange my itinerary? Is there anything I can do better? Or must haves to add / remove? I’ve tweaked it a hundred times already and I’m really keen to just start getting things booked now! Likewise I can always remove a day here and there as I have flexibility (and always happy to save pennies where I can or use that money elsewhere). I’m very fortunate to have quite a flexible budget for this as well so open to all sorts of suggestions, even more ‘luxury’ stays and experiences! I haven’t planned Phuket as I sort of read hit and miss things but likewise if anyone has good suggestions I’m open, just really want to make sure I hit Krabi / Ao Nang and Khao Sok. I’ve looked at flights and transfers and so far this seems pretty doable, at least I’m hoping!

Also if anyone here is also travelling solo around these dates and fancies doing some tours / trips together, feel free to DM me!

Thanks in advance ❤

Sounds simple, but Shopify Flow can’t do it directly.

You need to pull sales data, calculate time since last order, loop through every product, etc.

Is there an easier way to do this that I’m missing? Or is everyone just doing this manually?

Their paper, “Inverse Scaling in Test-Time Compute,” reveals a surprising phenomenon: in certain tasks, models like Claude and OpenAI’s GPT-o series actually perform worse when allowed to “reason” for longer. They call this the Performance Deterioration Paradox, or simply inverse scaling.

So what’s going wrong?

The paper breaks it down across several models and tasks. Here’s what they found:

🧠 More Thinking, More Problems

Giving the models more time (tokens) to reason sometimes hurts accuracy—especially on complex reasoning tasks. Instead of refining their answers, models can:

Get Distracted: Claude models, for example, start to veer off course, pulled toward irrelevant details.

Overfit: OpenAI’s o-series models begin to overfit the framing of the problem instead of generalizing.

Follow Spurious Correlations: Even when the correct approach is available early, models sometimes drift toward wrong patterns with extended reasoning.

Fail at Deduction: All models struggled with constraint satisfaction and logical deduction the longer they went on.

Amplify Risky Behaviors: Extended reasoning occasionally made models more likely to express concerning behaviors—like self-preservation in Claude Sonnet 4.

Tasks Where This Shows Up

This inverse scaling effect was especially pronounced in:

Simple counting with distractors

Regression with spurious features

Constraint satisfaction logic puzzles

AI risk assessments and alignment probes

🧩 Why This Matters

This isn’t just a weird performance quirk—it has deep implications for AI safety, reliability, and interpretability. The paper also points out “Chain-of-Thought Faithfulness” issues: the reasoning steps models output often don’t reflect what’s actually driving their answer.

That’s a huge deal for alignment and safety. If we can’t trust the model’s step-by-step logic, then we can’t audit or guide their reasoning—even if it looks rational on the surface.

⚠️ Bottom Line

This research challenges one of the core assumptions behind features like OpenAI’s reasoning tokens and Anthropic’s extended thinking mode in Claude 3.7 Sonnet. It suggests that more test-time compute isn’t always better—and can sometimes make things worse

https://sternenauge.eu

The old website was a mixture of service pages (e.g. bridal hairstyles, make-up etc.) and shop and had no clear structure.

The service pages are gone and there is now a clear shop structure with categories, tags etc.

I have been trying to rank the shop page https://sternenauge.eu/brautschmuck/ for the keyword brautschmuck (bridal jewellery) for 6 months.

Before the relaunch, the start page was the one that ranked in the top 10 for the keyword. Now it is neither the start page nor the shop page.

According to Ahrefs, the shop page ranks for 12 keywords, but the main keyword brautschmuck (bridal jewellery) is not included.

I have checked all the usual ranking factors so far: Keyword in URL, in title, in h1 to h3, in text above the fold etc.

Core Web Vitals are optimised to the maximum. According to Ahrefs, there are no technical problems (site health 99%). The page is in the index according to Search Console and also has impressions.

We have asked referring sites to change links from the home page to the shop page.

But nothing helps. Now I’m at my wit’s end.

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you very much in advance.
