I went straight to the link without reading the description and didn't notice the tiny people added to the center of the circles. Ironically, I was clicking each bubble to find that exact info. After reading the description and going back to notice the stick figures, I felt compassion towards companies where their circle was mostly stick people. I wonder if employees like working at those companies.
You don’t need to be rich to own. Some people are lucky to buy a home where/when it’s cheap. Imagine the value (and taxes) outpacing your income. Like an elderly person with fixed income.

Wow!
This feels like an important point! People comparing to leaks (or other distributed examples that aggregate similarly) are not thinking about how the amount of water used in a single location changes the scale.
I truly empathize with this idea. It does feel like things are improving. I was scanning the code generated and felt the same way. Like, woah, maybe I'm in the clear and I can hand the reigns over. Do I even need to look at the code anymore?
Then I ran into a few bugs and, as I dug in, what initially looked like reasonable code suddenly seemed strange when looking closer. After some help from the agent to understand the intent, it became clear the design was poor, explained a few failures, and resulted in an order of magnitude more (reasonable looking) code to compensate which now I have to sift through.
To make matters worse, I could not get the agent to divorce itself from its wrong decisions, even with my explicit instruction detailing how the code should read. It would keep rewriting the same bad ideas then go into other distracting tangents which I'd have to correct. It felt just like how conversations in ChatGPT that would get stuck once it was in the context making me imagine we're still driving the same car but with a new paint job.
I finally wrote the code myself. It was more helpful after that. Hopefully, I'm able to resist the temptation and stay vigilant in my reviews. For context, I am using Codex Astra XHigh but maybe Opus 5.5 really is better?
Since Bill Clinton and Lyndon B Johnson were the only two presidents to see a balanced budget I can guess which party you mean.
This feels like the kind of thing where the mismatching version numbers bugged some influential people internally. But I suppose a practical application could be recommending matching versions if customers run into issues since they are trying to integrate devices more.
They would all agree raspberry has two Rs
My guess would be to detect if their models are being distilled by other models.
What if the new entry level is what we consider senior today? Isn't it possible today to obtain entry/mid level skills with LLMs? I wonder if things will shift more in that direction.
I'm a musician and I am not seeing why I would want this. If this is trying to help musicians that don't know theory, it should start from simple chords and expand those in different ways that demonstrate an improvement. Currently the examples are pretty simple and don't sound good to my ear.
Below the tone wheel should be a "Synthesize Stems" button which generates a list of midi examples, each with an "Audition" button that plays the midi.
Not sure how relevant my example will be but I built a spaced repetition language learning LLM wrapper app to learn Japanese and it worked really well. I went to great lengths, however, to craft prompts which resulted in more predictable and useful results. ChatGPT on its own couldn’t do this.
Spaced repetition could address this, no? Also, the right example or metaphor can make a difficult concept both easier to understand and stickier in my mind which I think is different than something easy to learn.
This looks cool! Memory safety beyond Rust with simpler code is a strong claim. Something I'd love to see is examples that mimic issues Rust borrow checker would catch as well as ones only wyzer would catch.
Design is an art and, as Rick Ruben says, success is not in your control. Also Rick says the audience comes last. You can find examples of strong choices that did not succeed but in your example it doesn’t sound like these mouse makers were designing for themselves first.
I fundamentally disagree with the premise. Why are we attempting to change the meaning of the word compromise? “compromise” and “has trade-offs” are NOT synonymous. The antithesis of compromise is to make strong decisions that WILL alienate people, but will better target your intended audience. That, IMHO, is a great thing.
> The closest we have come to a definition of privacy is probably “the right to be left alone,” but that seems quaint in an age when we are constantly dependent on digital services. In the context of A.I., “the right to not be manipulated by computation” seems almost correct
Maybe someone can enlighten me but I really don't understand how either of these description make any sense at all. How is it not better described as "the right to decide what data can be extracted"?
Maybe that's on me for missing it. Either way, the improvement is not enough for me to justify the extra cost.
I was hoping to switch to Claude but was waiting until they had a better model than Codex 5.5. When Fable came out I immediately bought the $100 plan. When the government shut it down they gave the option to cancel which I appreciated. I planned to subscribe again once it was back. However, removing it from the subscription once back has really soured me. I can't help feeling like it was a bait and switch. Even if they added it back, I'm not sure I trust it will stay. I now have no plans to switch back from Codex.
I had Flashback on Sega Genesis as a kid. For whatever reason, I was unable to get past the first obstacle. I had a similar experience with Myst. After a while I came back to those games and now they are two of my all time favorite games. I was excited to see The Last Night revive the rotoscope style but sadly it was never finished. I saw Replaced picked up the mantle so I created an account and purchased it on Steam before realizing it's windows only and I'm macOS :(
I had the same problem on iPhone. Turning my ringer on solved it.
Reminds me of styled components. If the goal is generating the selector why not let the body be a string: ```{ Item: "color: red;" }```?
I was really nervous about the update to Liquid Glass based on comments like this but my experience has been really positive. I love the new contextual tooltip menu when I try to select text and other thoughtful details. Maybe there’s things I’m not bumping into?
Oh wow! No way! Thank you!
I'm curious about how the costs compare using something like this where you're hitting api's directly vs my $20 ChatGPT plan which includes Codex.
