Yeah I was quite surprised that the advanced chat gpt voice mode can’t itself go and message the frontier model underneath to retrieve data and then speak it. I basically tried asking it for that (something like “can you go and ask gpt5.5 t

I believe so. With Pro you get “Thinking” with levels Light, Standard, Extended, and Heavy; and you also get the “Pro” model with levels “Standard” and “Extended”. I don’t often go to Pro as it does take a while like you saw here, but I do

Definitely feels like fraud to me too. Kind of reminds me of Amazon listings where some seller has some decent quality product, collects a lot of high reviews, then uses the same listing and does a complete switcharoo to a much shittier mor

I think something like this: Imagine a tool for querying remote grpc endpoints - you would point at some endpoint to query it / explore it, and the tool would request the proto schema files from a potentially untrusted source - somethi

For mobile Safari on iOS/iPad, the back button imo is just completely broken. It’s either a bug, or Apple might say I’m ‘holding it wrong’. One version it just stopped doing its one job correctly and it’s messing with my mental model

Same question from me too - I do have a few services on my homelab at home - stuff like a NAS, synology surveillance, homeassistant, few lxc containers hosting random services on Proxmox - and it all works just fine for my needs with standa

Ah, thanks, makes sense, I’ll read more about this

Huh, I don’t know what “long context performance” means exactly in these tests, so completely anecdotally , my experience with gpt5.4 via codex cli vs Claude code opus, gpt5.4 seems to do significantly better in long contexts I think partl

About to go do that on Kagi for the linked site. Oh and also hit the “Report this site as AI generated”

Absolutely agree I hate that software. Last I remember I was trying to upgrade firmware I think of either a usbc drive, but could have been some m2 nvme drive via usb4. Software looked so nasty that I think I managed to get it somehow worki

The way I use the products something like this. My main account on my MacBook - ChatGPT website, codex cli. Then, a Mac VM running via UTM with shared writable dir - anything more ‘shady’ in terms of permissions and for playing with new ai

That’s just sad ugh, just the other day I was using my pre-shitty-IoT era Sous Vide machine (Anova brand, I think it might have been chefsteps recommended too, got around 2014/2015), and I was thinking how glad I am that it has zero fa

Nice. Yeah definitely do consider it, esphome is quite popular with people using HomeAssistant

Yeah long ago when I was doing some iOS development, I can remember Apple UX responsives mantras like “don’t block the main thread”, as it’s the thing responsible for making app UIs snappy even when something is happening. Nowadays seems li

I often write a bunch of Esphome ‘code’ , which I then use with various esp32 based devices (mostly from M5stack) via esphome/HomeAssistant. Can this project help me in any way during dev stage before uploading the code to device just

You have more info about the inflated token use? I’m using codex cli a bunch now, but the reported token usage seems like an order of magnitude higher than, say Claude code with opus. Idk if it’s because I set codex to xhigh reasoning, but

Using Codex more for now, and there is definitely some compaction magic. I’m keeping the same conversation going and going for days, some at almost 1B tokens (per the codex cli counters), with seemingly no coherency loss

Oh yes, upvoting, my top annoyance with anthropic too, email links are a bit ridiculous as a login mechanism. Anytime I have to login again, it’s the ridiculous dance of figuring out what surface I’m logging into and how to get the magic li

On topic of just data requests from OpenAI - this article says “Be aware that this process isn’t instant” I did notice this an wonder what changed - I do periodic data backups of various services, and up until recently it was impressive, as

I tried to use it right after launch from within Claude Desktop, on a Mac VM running within UTM, and got cryptoc messages about Apple virtualization framework. That made me realize it wants to also run a Apple virtualization VM but can’t si

Wow, this should be higher up and with a different title. People who are paying $200/month for a defined service, and think they are using `gpt5.3-codex`, are getting their requests silently routed to a less capable model without telli

I use brew but willing to try out Macports. How come the package install instructions seem to require sudo under macports? Does that not carry more risk during the install ?

There’s a way somewhere deep in settings to disable those. I still have UberEats notifications for food arrival, but was able to disable all other ones while digging through all the settings

Oh yeah totally, that “feature” of a Duracell cr2032 battery screwed me over in that exact case. They just don’t work at all with an AirTag (battery bought from afaik reputable supplier, Home Depot). Switched to Energizer cr2032 and it’s be

Nice, thanks. What are the different options (log streams?) you can select? I read the info box but it isn’t super clear. I figure the numbers are a year - how come there are 2027 ones with data being populated ? And how come something lik

I also don’t understand the back button at all on Safari iOS, I think one version it just stopped doing its one task correctly. It’s messing with my mental model of how I arrived at each tab. Currently: Safari iOS: Be on a page, tap hold a

For email app on Mac, I’ve been using MailMate for a few years now and quite like it. Once you sync the mailbox, search is basically instant. And for even bigger search tasks, Foxtrot Pro is quite good too. Not cheap, but it is fast, and t
