Because they shipped and are better only for specific applications. For everything else, they lag behind frontier models. They win in latency-sensitive niches (e.g., autocomplete, code infilling, subagent calls). Not frontier-level reasoning.

I use both but I agree that they are generally not on par. I find Claude Code does a better job and doesn't overengineer as much. Where sometime Codex does better is in debugging a tough bug that stumps Claude Code. Codex is also more likely to get lazy and claiming to have finished a large task, when it reality it just wrote some placeholder lines. Claude has never done that. They might be on par soon, however, and I think Anthropic is playing a dangerous game with their limit enforcement on people who are on subscriptions.

If you can swing it, I'd go for the Bulova Lunar Pilot or the Seiko Prospex Chronograph SSC819. If you are looking for cheap Chinese, Phylida makes a well-reviewed one.

There are a few brands that have been punching above their price points. For Rolex Submariner homages, you can't really beat Sugess. Other Chinese brands worth considering are San Martin, Cronos, WM, and Seagull. Among the upcoming brands, Watchdives and Tactical Frog are also doing quite well. Though cheaper, Pagani Design is a step below the rest. It's not bad, but their watches are definitely not as polished as the ones from the brands mentioned above. In terms of movements, stick to NH35, NH34, PT5000, SW200, Miyota 90S5, etc. Try to buy from the official stores on Aliexpress, and check your private messages after you add the watches to your cart. They'll often issue coupon codes for said items.

I'm getting less and less impressed with the company, so I started diversifying. I got Linux installed on my desktop and started using it more often. Switched from Apple Music to Spotify. Got rid of my Apple Watch Ultra and switched to Garmin. Went from Things to TickTick since it's cross platform. From Notes to Notesnook for the same reason. I know it's a drop in the bucket and I'm still pretty invested, but they are steps towards independence should I decide to abandon their ecosystem altogether at some point.

Re:Show HN: Track your calories easily by saying what you ate

The chicken breasts were fairly large 386g cooked (so even more raw). 315g of green beans. When I provided the grams it did better but was still off by 250+ calories (I’m guessing it ignored me mentioning that that was cooked weight.) It’s a cool tool and it can be useful but if you’re not careful you’ll run into some very inaccurate guesstimates. One way to improve accuracy would be for the system to learn from previous logs (both in the system and previous apps.)

Pretty cool but unfortunately it’s wildly inaccurate. I said “two chicken breasts and lots of green beans”. It estimated 262 kcal. The “actual” calories were 754 kcal. Specifying the actual grams was better, of course, but still off by quite a bit.
