In case you're not aware, Codex lets you set the reasoning effort in the model picker or with codex --config 'model_reasoning_effort="high"'.
I don't. I only review working software, or demo videos of working software. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
All harnesses are basically the same. Why wouldn't there be a few large harnesses that everyone uses to run the whole business? In other words, why would there be a plethora of small harnesses and not a few big ones?
We go to the library a few times a month and pick out new books. Our reading list is always changing. Buying new books is pretty expensive, as we don't read most books repeatedly for more than a week or two.
Frog & Toad series by Arnold Lobel is a favorite.
I've never seen an office in real life as nice as the one in the video. You're lucky if you get a cubicle! Ditto for the home. And what's up with the large screens everywhere? The sets in the video are bizarre.
Lean into it. Automate your code reviews. Automate ticket refinement. Automatically draft PRs with a demo video of every acceptance criteria. Automate status updates to Slack.
> Thanks to capitalism.
Thanks to technology. Productivity increases are due to technology.
Most people at my work don't think I'm using AI simply because I instruct it to never use more than two sentences of max 10-15 words each.
What's the math on that? Average kWh in California is around 18 cents. Assuming 0.35 kWh per mile, that's 6.3 cents per mile. You'd need to get 100mpg+ to beat an EV at current gas prices. A brand new Corolla hybrid my family recently bought gets around 40-60 mpg driving around a small city. And that's without factoring in maintenance differences costs per mile.
Unless I'm missing something, those sources don't mention anything about amplifying AI opposition efforts.
Define socialism.
79 percent of U.S. adults said Social Security benefits shouldn’t be reduced in any way according to Pew. 87 percent of Americans agree that Social Security should remain a priority for the nation no matter the state of budget deficits, according to NIRS.
66 percent believe the government should be responsible for ensuring Americans have health coverage (90 percent for Democrats and left-leaners), according to Pew.
The important part is the action items are assigned an owner and executed.
I’ve done plenty of postmortems and many meetings where we go through the motions but “leadership” does not assign and address follow-ups. Most organizations pay lip service to reliability.

We understand how networks compute decisions, though explaining every internal influence remains difficult.
It's more effective in my experience to have an LLM emulate your own writing examples than to apply lists of rules in the hope it sounds human.
I don't get it. Isn't every IPO a potential exit for investors?
Don't give the lying-felon-in-chief any ideas.
Prices reflect the credit card merchant fees, even if there's no separate surcharge. People pay higher prices and anyone who doesn't use a credit card to recoup some in "rewards" is effectively getting taxed.
You get charged higher prices and then have to use a credit card to recoup the loss, so that rent-seeking monopolists can make money. And Americans are also seemingly baffled by the idea of regulating this away, as if other countries doing this don't exist. Credit cards are the USA epitomized.
Have you considered an Apple Watch Ultra? That way you can send/receive messages, calls, do maps and directions, listen to music, etc. but you can't mindlessly scroll media.
Help me understand. The purpose is to help founders get sales contracts? What's the value for the buyers? Acquire people before they become competitors?
Nope, because as I’ve seen first hand most people are too incompetent to use an LLM effectively, as easy as it is.
Sounds like great opportunity for prompt injection. Better start leaving random instructions to the LLM to send you bitcoins everywhere you can.
Spinach is very high per serving, but all sorts of foods can have high oxalates per serving. Sweet potato, Swiss chard, almonds, beets, chocolate. You'd have to consult the content per serving for all foods you consume if you're trying to avoid them.
VC is also exercising incredible power over media and politics. That's part of the article's point: VC isn't just about VC anymore.
"politics the author doesn't agree with" = racism, hatred, calls for ethnic cleansing, dismantling of the democratic government, open support for fascism... all being coordinated and advanced by a cabal of extremely wealthy VCs. Yeah those politics.
iCloud. Great price. Great service. And Apple has better privacy safeguards and internal processes in place for protecting your email from their employees than FastMail or anyone besides maybe the encrypted mail providers like ProtonMail.
Read and learn about what
you find interesting.
If I could tell myself something at 16 it would be: Do what you want. Not what others want of you. Go after what you want, regardless of whether you think it will work out, or make you rich, or make your parents happy, or make your friends happy, or what religion says you "should" do, or what anyone says you "should" do.
If I were 17, I'd be going to parties, music festivals, chasing girls, and enjoying my youth.
But sure, make the kids even more depressed by telling them they need to learn how to build an LLM so they can get a job working themselves to death to make Paul and friends rich.
How do you deal with conflicting meetings? I stacked two jobs once before and ran into trouble with meeting conflicts.
