Equal to or more than other major countries? If so, can you show me anything supporting your claim?

I've tried Chinese open models few times before. They were fine, but they didn't come close to the benchmarks they were claiming.

Now, maybe GLM 5.2 is close to Opus 4.7, but I don't wanna keep checking them and keep finding that they're still benchmaxing and aren't at GPT (my choice) or Opus level. The boy who cried wolf, I guess.

Hah. And you think a Govt agency will be able to do a rigorous enough examination to eliminate people who don't know that just because a method in C# is asynchronous does not mean it executes out of order?

Reminds me of a friend whose job application got rejected by some Govt agency in Canada due to "experience mismatch." Job required "Software Programmer" experience but he was a "Software Engineer" instead.

Obsidian is great. And glad to see how you’re looking at plugin security. But one more thing you should consider is: How do you reduce the need for plugins for basic product behavior. E.g., I use a plugin to be able to open a file in new tab instead of replacing current tab. That should be a setting, not a plugin I’m forced to use.

Easy to say that, isn’t it? I can almost guarantee that YOU also want and do consume much more than an average human on this planet. Never mind the fact that humans consume more than their share of the planets resources anyway. Whatever the definition of “their share” is.

Will 1.5B people have a lot of very intelligent people too? Yes, some of the most intelligent! Will those intelligent people have the educational opportunities and research opportunities to be able to use that intelligence to deliver a SOTA model any time soon? Especially with so many resource limitations they face, I doubt it.

Oh. So when you say “May we please have terraform back?” You mean “May we please have terraform back at my employer?” Why are you posting such an employer specific request on a public forum?

My (admittedly one person's anecdotal) experience has been that when I ask Codex and Claude to make a plan/fix and then ask them both to review it, they both agree that Codex's version is better quality. This is on a 140K LOC codebase with an unreasonable amount of time spent on rules (lint, format, commit, etc), on specifying coding patterns, on documenting per workspace README.md, etc.

Piggybacking on this post. I see the same. Codex is not only finding much higher quality issues, it’s also writing code that usually doesn’t leave such higher quality issues behind. Claude is much faster but it definitely leaves serious quality issues behind.

So much so that I rely completely on Codex for code reviews and actual coding. I will pick higher quality over speed every day. Claude is there to do lower risk tasks.

Let’s call it JoyScript so it still shortens to JS. And so at least the name as some joy in it even if the language doesn’t.

Hah. It can’t be “I need to spend more time to figure out how to use these tools better.” It is always “I’m just smarter than other people and have a higher standard.”

I currently use GPT‑5.1-Codex High and have a workflow that works well with the 5-hour/weekly limits, credits, et al. If I use GPT‑5.1-Codex-Max Medium or GPT‑5.1-Codex-Max High, how will that compare cost / credits / limits wise to GPT‑5.1-Codex High? I don't think that's clear. "Reduced tokens" makes me think it'll be priced similarly / lower. But, "Max" makes me think it'll be priced higher.

In my AGENTS.md (which CLAUDE.md et al soft link to), I instruct them to "On phase completion, explicitly write that you followed these guidelines." This text always shows up on Codex and very rarely on Claude Code (TBF, Claude Code is showing it more often lately).

I stopped having the same issue of 100s of tabs of "math videos that I was going to watch one day" when I started saving them in my private playlists. Now I just have 100s of videos in playlists that I just look at longingly but never watch.

Have you documented how you built this project using Kiro? Your learnings may help us get the best out of Kiro as we experiment with it for our medium+ size projects.

And the d20 rolled a 12 when you checked it for duration to hold? Man, lucky you! Give the dice a kiss!

First, “Plaintiffs ACCUSE the generative AI company.” Let’s not assume OpenAI is guilty just yet. Second, assuming OpenAI didn’t access the books illegally, my point still remains. If you write a book, can you really complain about a human (or in my humble opinion, a machine) learning from it?

Your comment seems unfair to me. We can say the exact same thing for the artist / IP creator:

Tough luck, then. You don’t have the right to shit on and harm everyone else just because you’re a greedy asshole who wants all the money and is unwilling to come up with solutions to problems caused by your business model.

Once the IP is on the internet, you can't complain about a human or a machine learning from it. You made your IP available on the internet. Now, you can't stop humanity benefiting from it.

Usually it’s much easier to be liberal when doing so doesn’t cost you meaningfully. I’d encourage you to evaluate for yourself if your stances are truly fair and if you’re truly liberal considering how painful it is for an H1B to lose their job vs you. It’s also easy to say “but H1Bs get exploited!” Considering how many H1Bs come here, maybe they’d rather face this exploitation vs staying in their own country?

Just to be fair, for 90% of the world, the kinds of compensation many hacker news readers have (a Silicon Valley engineer who gets a high base plus bonus plus equity) would also be considered “holy guacamole, whatever is the angle I look at it … does not make any f_ing sense”

Sorry, I meant that the maximum they’re making is $2B. But in reality it’s surely a much smaller number. Which makes it even more unlikely that Apple is optimizing for developer fees.

There are 20M developer accounts. And Apple charges $100 per account per year. That's $2B in revenue. Apps on the App Store make $100B in revenue. So, Apple makes equivalent of 2% of Apps revenue from developer accounts. I doubt they'll intentionally risk the $100B revenue by making their App Store full of crapware for a 2% equivalent.

If relay gets popular, won’t some services simply start to block relay subdomain for registration to make it ineffective? Just like 10minutesemail etc are blocked in many places.

Have a series 6, used it in the pool (salted) the first time and the watch died. Had to get a replacement from them which took one week. I couldn’t do fitness tracking all that week. So, I am not planning to use the watch in water at all.

If they’re a family oriented society, then losing the family is a big loss by itself, no?

Nothing to lose? They lose everything and everyone they know. You’re underrating how important that is for most people.

Add your two thumbs and two index fingers so that you can use any one of them depending on convenience or rare edge cases like rock climbing damage to one of them.

For what it’s worth, I had the same problem with all previous Apple earphones. But, I don’t have that problem with airpod pros.

This is a good place to ask this question: Lately, we’re trying to buy products on Amazon only if it says, “Sold by Amazon.com.” Is that a good way to ensure that the product is not counterfeit? The assumption is that if Amazon is selling something directly, it would be getting it directly from the real manufacturer.
