codex-discussions

[hard drum]

looks like i cannot move out of chrome unless support gets better, right?

it's like the bridge of your nose in your eyes

[coral remnant]

There are definitely certain situations where I have to open chrome - for performance intensive stuff Safari sucks

[hard drum]

you know it's there but your brain filters it out

[coral remnant]

But I've used safari pretty much exclusively for 4+ years with not many issues. Only 1-2 sites every 3 months will force me into chrome

[boreal holly]

Yeah, I mean if you look at web games, they're actively developing with the latest features, so it's gonna work better on Chromium automatically

[hard drum]

so that explains my issues then

[coral remnant]

Lot of chromium haters after this new GenAI update

[indigo robin]

chromium is prone to hackers

[hard drum]

i don't care about their AI slop

[trim rapids]

I remember back in the day there wasn't even a standardized way to round corners in css that worked in all browsers heh

[hard drum]

i care that the browser actually performs well on things i need it for

[indigo robin]

google ai is duce

[hard drum]

sfari simply doesn't cut it for me

[indigo robin]

workflow issue ^

[coral remnant]

https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1213

[hard drum]

not a workflow issue

read what robert said

[indigo robin]

lol

[hard drum]

smh

that's exactly the issue i have

keep up if y'wanna be a judgemental prick

[indigo robin]

here take this chill pill : )

[hard drum]

i am chill

[indigo robin]

true

[hard drum]

except my agents stopped working, so hold on, lemme prompt them first

nvm one is still active

[indigo robin]

anyone use codex to code a raspberry pi yet ?

[hard drum]

the other one stopped

[coral remnant]

Any browser is a target for hackers. It's the main way other people connect to services outside of their local network. I don't entirely think it matters what browser you use, there's always going to be tens to hundreds of thousands of malactors targeting it

[indigo robin]

safari most safe browser

[trim rapids]

codex on a pi would probably be pretty painful if you wanted more than one instance running at once

[hard drum]

not if y'have 8gb of ram on that thing

[indigo robin]

not to run on it to make code for a raspberry pi

[hard drum]

oh, yeah...

[indigo robin]

i plan on making a keyboard device soon , i sure it can handle the task perfectly

[hard drum]

i got a 512mb pi zero 2 i mistakenly bough tfor a discord bot, buuuuut... 512mb too little

so idk what to do w/ it

doesn't seem resellable

can't return it

[coral remnant]

optimise the code so it'll run within the parameters you have lol

512mb is a lot of room working in a non-bloated language

[boreal holly]

Oh yeah, if it's doing python it works great! Interpreted language dev is fine on the Pi

[hard drum]

my discord bot was written in Go+Lua

without use of GCO libs

[sacred minnow]

nah i dont need it but i seen it was coming well considering the reset only gives tokens badk not days of sub or broken files because of degrading blah xD

[hard drum]

it just cannot compile on that pi due to OOM

[sacred minnow]

is it worth actually using fast

[boreal holly]

More importantly, write speed on a microSD

[trim rapids]

I hate lua and will die with my grey hair on the arrays start at 0 hill

[sacred minnow]

Reconnecting... 1/5
stream disconnected before completion: Transport error: network error: error decoding response body

like 50 of these

[hard drum]

that, too.

[indigo robin]

i need to build a logo for my app

brb

[coral remnant]

why do you need to compile on device why not precompile and copy the binary over?

[hard drum]

that is the same thing w/ mathematicians arguing on whether 0 belongs in natural number or not

[boreal holly]

Get icon composer 🙂 wayyyy easier. It's built into latest Xcode

[hard drum]

i eventually did that, but for some reason that pi ran a few hours && then killed the bot

no idea

thing just doesn't wanna budge

[coral remnant]

did it kill because it ran oom? seems odd tbf. discord bots aren't entirely intensive unless you're doing stupid stuff in the background

[hard drum]

probably. i didn't do anything

maybe trying to write database made it go brr or something. i've zero clue

[boreal holly]

There's another rpi knockoff called Odroid. They have a pretty decent, closer to SSD storage thing, can get a big and fast swap

[hard drum]

https://github.com/xsyetopz/go-mamusiabtw it sits here

[coral remnant]

depends on the db lib ig. maybe the whole db was in memory / the cache was too big

[hard drum]

https://github.com/xsyetopz/go-mamusiabtw/blob/main/docs/sbc-hosting.md this thing i needed to make for myself

i wanna get myself a different spc under 100

&& i know one that has 32gb builtin storage + 8gb ram

it's also part of the sbc hosting list

[coral remnant]

i wanted to make a zimaboard cluster but they're kinda underpowered for how much they charge

[trim rapids]

I think the last time I played with SBC was when ASUS made a couple and they looked interesting because they were pi form factor but better spec

it was years ago now though

[hard drum]

but if anyone knows why my bot acted up on my zero2w, i'd be delighted to hear an answer

it was my 1st time dabbling w/ SPCs

the bot itself was a resurrection based off of wakalaka-rs, an old defunct rust-based bot from 2024

[indigo robin]

anyone els keep a notes open at all times for when inspiration strikes

now that i have to wait 3 days till a reset ive had all my best ideas lmfao

i need to fix the note placment logic in my app too this chord is dam near impossible lmfao

[coral remnant]

I mean I don't entirely worry that I'll forget the idea before my notes app opens so no not really lol

[indigo robin]

this is the better way to play this chord

im going to tell codex to examine this manual fix and try to imporve its logic

[boreal holly]

To play this chord you need at least 3 hands 😂

[indigo robin]

stright up lmfao

[boreal holly]

I'm sure Marcin would have no problems doing it though

[indigo robin]

joe pass type chords

i still laugh from time to time when rui said my piano hand be messing up and sent an AI song

lmfaoooooooooooo

bro really tried to trick us 🤣

[boreal holly]

Yeah but even for an AI song it absolutely slapped 😂 the sax was legendary

[indigo robin]

type shi

brb i need to make a logo for my app

and i need to brainstorm a good layout for my sequencer section

[orchid echo]

firefox is a RAM destroyer

[hard drum]

ironic because i had the same experience with post-2013 firefox

firefox before the new engine was great imo

i miss the old firefox...

[indigo robin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4usD1hP1nYY magic

[hard drum]

i went from IE -> Firefox -> Chrome -> Edge (Chromium) -> Safari -> Chrome

[orchid echo]

ive always heard Firefox uses less RAM than Chrome so I switched but than it ended up eating way more RAM

[hard drum]

it was a lie with new engine

old engine was genuinely better in that regard

i couldn't bear my ram usage using firefox's new engine as 2 or 3 tabs somehow ate more than chrome

[orchid echo]

chrome for life

[glad birch]

just download more ram bro

i use chrome / firefox / brave at the same time

brave is my stream/media browser to skip ads, chrome is my daily driver, firefox for dev 😄

[hard drum]

unified ram moment

[boreal holly]

I think that unused RAM is wasted RAM. As long as Firefox is making the most of the RAM it's holding that's fine. What's not cool is poor memory stewardship.

[indigo robin]

I❤️Apple

Icon Composer is Genius

[boreal holly]

So much easier than exporting 12 different size icons

[orchid echo]

its not cool when it hogs all my ram slowing down my computer

[trim rapids]

unused RAM Is definitely wasted RAM

[boreal holly]

I consider that poor stewardship. Especially if it's wired down memory with high residency (contiguous, can't be paged out)

[trim rapids]

at the very least it should all be holding disk cache

ZFS Cache: 71.1 GiB heh

[boreal holly]

ZFS is 🔥. Love the snapshotting feature

Git for the whole file system

[trim rapids]

indeed

[glad birch]

same for disk space, i always make sure that my ssds are 99% full

[boreal holly]

Me too. Not on purpose tho 🤪

[coral remnant]

is multi accounting allowed under ToS

[boreal holly]

Yes. Afaik you can't resell access (host your sub online as a paid resource)

[coral remnant]

No intention to do that, just wanted to know if having 2x 200$ plans is okay

[boreal holly]

Yeah, the terms of use are framed around "how you use this account". There's nothing in there saying "one account per person" or anything like that

[hard drum]

it's fine as long as you don't abuse it

you're allowed to have alts. simply don't share your accs && use them to avoid limits

by avoid, i mean cancelling sub && making a new acc just to sub over there

or whatever is done

[coral remnant]

I gotchu

[trim rapids]

the multiple accounts being allowed might be changing in the future, I've heard that people are being directed into phone number verification flows now and hitting barriers preventing use of the same phone number for more than one account

[boreal holly]

I have a Pro 20x and a Plus account. It's completely reasonable to have one for work and one for personal

[hard drum]

^

[coral remnant]

If I'm paying 200$ for a plan surely it's reasonable I'd be okay with buying a pay as you go sim lol

[torpid trout]

They are reporting it wrong
It is explicitly allowed and enouraged to open up to 3 accounts per phone number

[coral remnant]

I don't really use GPT for anything other then work - but I'm freelance and my personal projects make me money. Hard to classify it for me

[trim rapids]

I used to have a couple extra plus accounts to use to limp through the last couple days of the week when I'd burn through my pro account in 4 or 5 days but ended up canceling them when they cracked down on the 5h limits on them

[torpid trout]

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8983031-how-many-times-can-i-use-the-same-phone-number-to-complete-the-phone-verification-associated-with-an-openai-accounts-first-api-key-generation
Possibly those users reporting it "not working" are from unsupported areas
But honestly - I am from neither and was able to do it without any issue

[trim rapids]

if the 5h limit is so low that I can't burn the whole weekly limit in a day anymore it doesn't fit my intended workflow

[boreal holly]

Idk if they pay that close attention. I bet you they look for many IP addresses executing multiple Flex /v1/responses for seemingly different things. Heuristically, one computer IP with 2 accounts coming from there looks more like an office doing serious AI work than reselling access

[coral remnant]

See I'm in a building that has over 800 people on one IP address hahaha

Everytime I think about how companies judge usage by IP I can't help but think of CGNAT

[hard drum]

decided to pick up on the discord bot again, to fix architectural issues && whatnot as i started seeing issues after manual audit + AI audit on top

codex be goaling because it didn't work on 0.132 until i went 0.133

[trim rapids]

I wonder how much RAM the router needs to have to support the size of NAT tables you'd need for that many clients to reliably do anything

[hard drum]

still waiting for my custom harness to be done

[boreal holly]

I'm in a building with 8 people, 7 have ChatGPT Business, I have a Pro and a Plus 🙂 and the business accts have the same domain email as my Pro acct so if they're OK with this distinction they'll probably be OK if you open 2 pro accounts

[hard drum]

to be able to dogfood itself once i get to use it

[bright swift]

I'm pretty sure the wording in the TOS around rate limits usage etc is mainly targeted towards abusing free accounts

[hard drum]

i wish i could be a part of a workplace that uses AI stuff to build stuff

could be a great job, tbh

or even as an intern...

i'd happily be an unpaid intern in one

[coral remnant]

I run a double nat but I presume Fortinet / whatever enterprise routing platform they run is built for this kind of thing. It's a relatively common setup in educational institutions and large offices

[trim rapids]

I have grey hair and the phrase double NAT triggers my PTSD

🙂

[boreal holly]

They all use their account to do HVAC stuff. No Codex usage except when they do excel spreadsheet stuff in ChatGPT

[hard drum]

you're really lucky to be in a space like that from my eyeview

[coral remnant]

I run a lot on my network, loads of local services exposed etc. I also have a lot of clients and they try to limit me to 6 devices before I have to pay.
Them seeing one mac address makes my life a whole lot easier - and reduces the risk of me getting attacked by a whole lot

[trim rapids]

yeah, that makes a lot of sense

[hard drum]

if y'know anyone willing to take an unpaid intern in that dabbles in the stuff that i do, maybe y'd have me somewhere? @boreal holly

[trim rapids]

if you offer yourself to be exploited like that for long enough someone will surely take you up on it eventually

[hard drum]

nobody took me in for 5 years locally in my country after i graduated, so...

[wet charm]

scary

[trim rapids]

that sucks

[hard drum]

i'd rather be exploited than stay unemployed forever

what else am i good for, y'know? i am just a tool, after all.

works for me, not for thee

[trim rapids]

you don't have to just be a tool or cog in someone else's machine

[hard drum]

my 5 years of unemployment &6 being stuck in social services would like a word with you in an interrogation room

if you were in my shoes, you'd likely go insane && rope yourself

[boreal holly]

Open a LLC, release a software of some kind, and pencil in as work experience at a software company 🙂 even if it's your company, it's still experience

[hard drum]

y'do realise opening an LLC is costly in Estland, right?

[coral remnant]

Work freelance

[hard drum]

well, actually, somebody at a pawn level like me would need to open an OÜ (Osaühing), && that expects you to have some form of starting capital

[hard drum]

In the age of AI, do what, exactly?

people will just ask gpt or something

[boreal holly]

Or um, there's other less costly designations. Sole proprietor probably not an option for penciling in work experience

[coral remnant]

Not for things they don't understand

[hard drum]

the market is heavily saturated, though. chances are, without presence, i'm pretty much dead on arrival

[coral remnant]

AI has removed most of the simple jobs that I used to get. All of the more complex stuff still exists

[hard drum]

see, i'm not good at leading thngs, but i am good enough at following orders

because that's what i do.

freelance expects you to be your own CEO

[coral remnant]

I don't have much business knowledge. I typically work 1:1 with clients and just build to their specifications

[hard drum]

that's... not my proficiency

my proficiency is in following orders && not thinking, just doing

exactly what a tool does

[bright swift]

then you need to change that. AI is better than you at following orders

[hard drum]

a company that loves a good object could harness me for some use

but i've yet to find one willing to not consider clinical challenge a liability first

[hard drum]

unfortunately, that isn't possible

[coral remnant]

My personal belief is that anyone can accomplish anything. I do not have much of a creative mind, I don't think like that, but I've been getting better over the past few years. Even if you aren't naturally good at something, even if you're naturally terrible at it, you can still become great

[hard drum]

AI in its current state doesn't follow orders as good as i could, esp. when inferred context is at play

[bright swift]

why not? you have all the tools at your disposal to build your own stuff

[coral remnant]

You won't get anywhere in life with a mindset so fixed on what you can't currently accomplish

[hard drum]

i usually build stuff that i believe makes sense to have, or something i believe might be worth something, but not monetarily worth something

[hard drum]

i'm not going to live long anyway, so it doesn't really make a difference if i took a piece of advice that's incompatible in every way

just build stuff that works, && hope somebody sees use in me for their stuff

that's.. kinda it

[bright swift]

i mean this sounds like motivational slop, but you might have some limiting beliefs

[hard drum]

i like to give stuff, not sell myself out

[trim rapids]

what's your definition of not living long

[bright swift]

the fact that you are in a discord discussing ai tools alone shows that you are ahead of 99% of people on earth probably

[hard drum]

a couple of years, maybe 2028/29 before i collapse?

[coral remnant]

This just isn't a beneficial belief system - you don't have much time left and so you want to accomplish less?

Why not push yourself as hard as you can in the time that you have

[hard drum]

i do enough of what i can in hopes somebody sees use

[trim rapids]

is that financial collapse or medical issue related physical collapse?

[hard drum]

both

financial first, life later

right now i'm thinking about making a personal git portfolio website to start putting stuff on display

in hopes that makes any difference at all

[boreal holly]

Believe it or not, the fact you're willing to do software dev for the fun of it, you're half way there 🙂 a long time ago I applied to Codeweavers as a wine dev. Didn't get the job (their review process is surprisingly difficult), but the CEO said "if you wanna work here, I recommend contributing PRs, building a portfolio this way." So I'll pass that along to you 🙂

[hard drum]

i already do as hard as i can

[hard drum]

a lot of codebases i kinda wanna contribute to are strictly anti-LLM, so that leaves them out of potential stuff i do locally on those codebases

like a patch fix for SDL

...unfortunate

[bright swift]

i mean openclaw is hiring fulltime and pretty pro-LLM

just one example

more than enough work there to make a name for yourself by helping out

[hard drum]

i might want to start smaller. openclaw is huge

don't bite more than i can chew

[bright swift]

yea just an example

[hard drum]

besides, 0 work experience requires work experience somehow, && to get experience y'need a job, && to get a job y'need experience

a catch-22

[night ivy]

What is "pursue goal"

[hard drum]

config.toml:

[features]
goals = true

then use /goal ... slash

[coral remnant]

goals are released now no?

no need to turn it on

[hard drum]

they've been since 0.128 iirc

or was it 0.125?

[coral remnant]

not sure, I don't even have /goal I just ask codex to make a goal and it shows up lol

[hard drum]

odd, but the feature could be toggled on to make it explicit

[night ivy]

Like I mean what is the purpose and difference it would make vs without it

[hard drum]

goal is essentially a built-in ralph loop with some caveats

[bright swift]

goals are default true since 0.133.0 i believe or 132

[boreal holly]

There's nothing stopping you from using it as a research partner, or a draft code agent! And the PRs don't have to be spectacularly huge accomplishments. You can find really small issues in a repo, patch it, submit. Anything to put green dots on the Github activity grid makes a difference

[hard drum]

i don't see why green dots matter on mine

[trim rapids]

it's like a more structured ralph loop that you can set token limits and explicit stop conditions on

[hard drum]

i find that what i make kinda makes more sense than what small thing i contrib to

if my own github repo page is full of niche garbage, nobody would take me serous outside hobby

but i won't stop

i just like to give && make stuff

i don't have the poison of money on me

i like to give free, MIT-licensed stuff

[boreal holly]

SW companies want to see collaborative effort on the resume. OSS contributions to other people's repos is a really good way to do it!

[coral remnant]

When I review a github, the most important things to me are

• Code quality
• Documentation quality
  & last of all, there being enough code to make a reasonable deduction with.

The subject of the projects themself, doesn't mean much

[hard drum]

well, let me guess.. i'll have to pay you to make an audit on mine?

at this point i need a pair of somebody else's eyes to see what i may be blinded on

[coral remnant]

nah haha - I don't charge to help people. I make enough from providing services to my clients

[hard drum]

I don't charge to help people
God, i wish i could do more of this, but some people insisted on accepting a charge so i stopped

[coral remnant]

I don't work in corporate tech though, so bare that in mind. I've hired for a couple startups and reviewed applications as a favour to others who are hiring.

[hard drum]

used to do tech support && repairs for some households && peeps online

except some started basically forcing me to take a pay for it

so i stopped

[coral remnant]

I've been developing for ~11 years now, cyber for 3 and freelancing for a little over 5. Was full time at a company for 1.5 of those years, and 2 other companies for a couple months

[bright swift]

i dont get it, what are we even talking about here then

[hard drum]

basically, i don't really wanna work for money, but work just to benefit the people in need

but i need just enough of a wage to pay rent && codex sub, && that's it

nothing else matters

&& my rent is already dirt cheap

[trim rapids]

you have to take the money to continue to live to continue to do what you really want to do though

[hard drum]

so 500-550 usd per month is more than enough for me to survive

i consume about 380-430 per month depending on season

[coral remnant]

You could look into DA. They are relatively picky, but they pay per hour for writing prompts and code for chatbots. You help propell the future of AI, and can work whenever you want.
However, they have a strict no AI policy as you cannot use AI answers to train AI

Some of the projects will even cover a sub

[hard drum]

&& am on a workbite (side hustle?) for my landlord making 7 bucks an hour doing cleaning service that gets deducted off my rent

[bright swift]

but you rejected money, and you complain that you cant get work experience without experience, and you only need 500 usd

[hard drum]

i reject money i don't earn thru a contract i signed

which is called dirty money

[bright swift]

thats a weird worldview

[hard drum]

welcome to estonia

[coral remnant]

I don't sign contracts, bar NDAs with most of my clients. That's pretty much the way the online work world works

[hard drum]

i mean, wouldn't a company want an obedient walking object amongst their worker list?

one that just does what they're told by the spec?

[bright swift]

not anymore

thats AI now

[hard drum]

oh...

so i'm obsolete even now?

ouch

[coral remnant]

Companies have mostly always looked for out of the box thinkers

[bright swift]

with this attitude, honestly yes

people dont need free MIT code anymore, LLMs just generate it on demand

[hard drum]

you weren't in my shoes, so i can't say you'd know what it's like

so the options you give are basically:

1. make something that starts bringing income
2. find remote AI-first startups && get in

[bright swift]

they still need to achieve their objectives, but if you dont want to help with that, i dont know whats left

[hard drum]

&& considering i do have a paid Apple Dev account, i could try something...

just need to do something useful for people

[cyan gyro]

Is Tibo awake already?

[coral remnant]

this pretty much goes for all of software dev though lol. no reason to build software that doesn't have a purpose

[celest stag]

Anyone here try the memory feature of codex thats marked as Experimental? I know my automations use it, but I havent turned it on for normal development work yet. I still prefer to rely on AGENTS.MD files / config.toml developer_instructions to specify my coding style and standards. I'm just curious if anyone has used it and it has actually noticeably picked up on coding standards it gleaned from conversations, without doing too much 'well, this one time he did it this way for a one-off task, so he must ALWAYS want it done that way'.

[hard drum]

well, i'd need to reconsider what is even worth monetising, because i lack the conception of "exploit people"

[coral remnant]

I have memory off because it starts refencing things across chats and I really don't like that

[bright swift]

its not exploitation, its value exchange

stop with the communist mindset

[hard drum]

...communist mindset? i don't live in russia, friend

i wasn't even born when estonia was in that era

i know nothing about communists

[celest stag]

clearly, cause russia is not communist lmfao

[coral remnant]

I've never exploited anyone. People pay what they are willing to pay. I assign an arbitrary value to my work based on what I feel I'm worth, the time spent and the experience required to fulfil the job.
If someone wants to pay too little, I don't do the job. If someone wants to pay too much - I'll tell them it's not worth that much

[celest stag]

err wrong reply lol

[hard drum]

If someone wants to pay too much - I'll tell them it's not worth that much
WAIT, you're allowed to say that?

[coral remnant]

"I can't charge you that, that's rediculous, how about X?"

[celest stag]

Ah yeah, makes sense. There are times when I am like, "I wish it knew how I was doing this in the other chat" and other times where I was just exploring some concept or idea and definitely dont want it to reference that.

[hard drum]

I thought people told me that this was a bad thing to say, so you should try to snake your way into making them pay what they want to pay you in that context

[boreal holly]

That's very true and false at the same time

There are a lot of software libraries where there's a huge benefit using it as a dependency rather than reimplementing it or forking it. Not necessarily MIT, but a lot of Apache2 and GPL that powers the world and makes sense to build on top of

[hard drum]

at least that's how the older generation Estonians told me

[bright swift]

yea the established hardened stuff, but not random new libs most likely

[coral remnant]

You can operate how you want to. It's your work, and you're the one that they're paying. If you want to be exploitative, fine, I'll frown on it, but that's the way you run your business / you work. If you want to be fair, I'll respect that

[glad birch]

anyone use GPT5.5 for reverse engineering PE binaries ? is it bannable ? got perma banned by anthropic for working on security stuff 🤕

[hard drum]

I wouldn't let somebody pay me more than what they believe the thing is worth

[trim rapids]

there are a lot of MIT and BSD-licensed single file libraries out there that are very useful in game dev etc where trying to outright reinvent the wheel by burning your own tokens would just be a waste of time

[coral remnant]

Yes, I reverse engineer practically 24/7, it's fine. You may get a cyber flag, but you can appeal and they will remove it

If you're actively trying to circumvent DRM / do dodgy things, you may have less luck

[boreal holly]

I remember when Wireguard came out. Everyone in the world was happy with OpenVPN, but then Wireguard appeared as a random new lib and was so incredible it got inserted directly into the Linux kernel

[hard drum]

i have this belief, from lived history, that i should not put my own price on things that i cannot prove are worth that much.

so i let others place value on it based on how they feel about it

if they want to pay 5 bucks, let them pay 5 bucks

[boreal holly]

It's kind of a gamble

[bright swift]

the proof is that somebody is willing to pay you for it, no exploitation

[coral remnant]

I won't ever accept less then I think something is worth though. I need to be fairly compensated for my time and effort

[hard drum]

but then i have to ask if they're doing it out of pity, obligation, or kindness

[bright swift]

if you say so

[hard drum]

I need to be fairly compensated for my time and effort
If i said this about myself, i'd sound like a narcissistic 🍑 hole

[glad birch]

what MCP are you using ? i used a IDA's one that is public on github, but interested in your workflow if you're willing to share 🙂

[trim rapids]

jon bon jovi has a couple restaurants that are open to anyone regardless of income level where people just pay what they want or can at the end, even if it's nothing

it's pretty cool

[hard drum]

oo

[coral remnant]

IDA MCP works fine - it's more the context you provide it. I have a lot of custom tooling I've built surrounding Mach-O binaries as they're what I work with day to day

[trim rapids]

I wish more rich and famous people used their wealth and influence for good like that

[hard drum]

if i was wealthy, i would've loved to do stuff like that

i could help so much if i had the capital for it

[glad birch]

ok cool 🙂 thanks

[coral remnant]

You should use this as your drive. When a client offers you a large amount of money, think about the amount of good you could do with it

Also, stop caring so much about what other people think of you

[celest stag]

Yep. The importance of using well-known, solidly tested libraries in enterprise software is underestimated by a lot of people that don't work in that environment. My company WANTS to buy long term support contracts for dependencies, because it means our product is less likely to be hit by a bug that cannot be fixed, and conveys a sense of trust that the developer who's dependencies you use knows and tests their product.

LLMs can generate a boatload of code, but with it being a concept that is foreign to your team you will have huge blindspots when it comes to potential bugs and security vulnerabilities.

[hard drum]

that's a bad way to say

[coral remnant]

Your decisions shouldn't be affected by anyones beliefs other then yours

[hard drum]

that's basicaly saying, "stop eating healthy food. it's good for you but i said so"

i care, && y'can't make me stop caring about things i care about

it's a system that works

[hard drum]

but this

let's cycle back to that thing

this is a good workaround to accepting monetary compensations

it isn't selfish unless blown on my own needs, which is bad unless we mean living costs, which is essentials that require covering

so it actually allows me to pay for the sub, then continue using the rest, after rent is covered, to fund other people's needs

it's a feedback loop

you're onto something

i like that

[eternal thorn]

can someone pls ping me when limits reset so i can remote into my pc when im out and restart my agents

[coral remnant]

Not really though. It's actually a really healthy mindset. Other people can offer you advice, but if people judge you for your actions and you let that affect you then you'll never be happy

[hard drum]

i'm never happy either way. i don't have feelings, just so y'know

i simply think

or i don't. whichever needs one or the other

[coral remnant]

We are all too obsessed with the opinions of others. It impacts our behaviour, our choices, the way we dress etc.
People make their own choices based on what other people think

[hard drum]

it's a system that has worked for me well, && if it ain't broke, don't fix/touch it

[bright swift]

then why are you here complaining, i dont get it

[coral remnant]

I mean I think it is a really broken way of thinking but that's my opinion lol

[hard drum]

complaining on which part?

cycle to which part you are referring to

my context window is a little low

[bright swift]

yea

[wind fog]

/goal on app when

[hard drum]

isn't there a toggle?

[bright swift]

it works, just doesnt autocomplete the command

[coral remnant]

anyway imma go eat. you can even put a message out saying that 80% of your earnings or whatever go to charity. or don't publically advertise it, if you think that people will interpret that as you wanting recognition for doing a good thing.
there's 2 sides to every story

[hard drum]

i don't see a point in charity myself. i prefer to give it out to people that ask for support personally

like friends && some strangers online, like maybe here

[coral remnant]

yeah you can even say 'make a goal' / 'new goal' and it'll create it

[hard drum]

or some of twitch people that tune onto my streams that have been there early

[coral remnant]

sponsor codex subs for kids in lic / under developed countries

could be cool, don't think anyones doing that

[bright swift]

dude you just said that charity is great and you could give out so much if you were wealthy, so which one is it lol

[hard drum]

wait, you said it was charity?

i thought it was restauraunt

[coral remnant]

i mean that is a form of charity

[hard drum]

i didn't see 'charity' as a word

[hard drum]

i think we have a very incompatible set of vocab && definitions

[coral remnant]

the official definition of charity is

the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need.

[bright swift]

well mine comes from the dictionary

i dont know where yours is from

[coral remnant]

i'm not entirely sure how you could interpret that differently lol

giving to people in need is charity

[hard drum]

my definition is that of what Estonia calls it: a non-profit registered entry that does something for the people

[coral remnant]

a charitable organisation is a philanthropic non-profit but charity itself is just the act of giving to those in need

[hard drum]

they're usually under the MTÜ

[hard drum]

thanks for telling me the difference that i likely won't remember

[coral remnant]

it's a pretty important distinction for someone with your world view 🤷‍♂️

[bright swift]

so anyways... wen reset

[hard drum]

i mean, you haven't seen the worldview at full scale, so not much there to say

[hard drum]

wrong say

hold on

there

rwen

somebody misspelt Wren language

[coral remnant]

"codex hack codex and reset rate limits"

[earnest walrus]

Is there a reason that /status in codex app no longer shows me my context usage after the latest update? Big sigh

[rocky fog]

works fine in vscode extension latest prerelease

[hard drum]

i believe it's not easy for a common man to understand my worldview in depth without further environmental dive

y'can pick out the surface easy

anything lower-level needs history

&& is heavily dependant on the environment of the object's (my) origin, which would be the southern side of Estonia

far down the south

[coral remnant]

I mean I know that you want to give back to people you know that are struggling, particularly to people close to you, which is charity

[hard drum]

i just call it being useful

since that's what i'm supposed to do

if i don't do that, it'll be my fault if something bad happens to them after

&& if my own gift-giving caues trouble, also my fault

so i need to make sure i do what makes them feel good/happy.

it takes some effort, but it is really nice to see them be happy about my givings

which to me is the whole point: make somebody's life feel less miserable

'see a need, fill a need' from an old children's movie

[boreal holly]

FWIW I think it's cool dedicating your time to help people, as long as you take good care of yourself in the process 🙂

[hard drum]

i do the bare minimum on myself

just enough to make sure i still can give

i require that others need more than i do

it's about considerations

if i think more about what i want && need rather than others, that'd be inconsiderate of me.

somebody comes up to me && asks for say... help with tech or wants a cheap Steam game: i give

i don't ask for much (if anything at all), so i just really live on the hopes that i don't mess up on the opportunity to be used

[solid mural]

Hi guys

[hard drum]

hi

[solid mural]

I got codex mobile app

Very peak

[cloud moth]

I’m out here patiently waiting for Tibo to reset rate limits in response to the rate limit errors this week

[hard drum]

same...

i'm running out soon

[solid mural]

Totally like desktop

Running in locally

[cloud moth]

I ran out this morning. CC resets for me in 2 hours thankfully and I’ve been using Antigravity in meanwhile to test their 9x increase in rate limits

Nothing compares to Codex tho

[solid mural]

Fr

Codex is peak

@hard drum lowkey bro is it un safe

[boreal holly]

Bro, you must attach HEAD 💀

[hard drum]

codex? not unless you run it outside sandbox full-time

that's basically dangerously-skip-permissions

[solid mural]

Like it's connected to termux local host

[solid mural]

Yeah

[solid mural]

Oh forgot

Lowkey who ever made it happen is peak i would say

[torpid trout]

This is ridicoulos

■ {
  "type": "error",
  "error": {
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "code": "unsupported_parameter",
    "message": "Unsupported parameter: 'reasoning.summary' is not supported with the 'gpt-5.3-codex-spark' model.",
    "param": "reasoning.summary"
  },
  "status": 400
}

That error comes from having model_reasoning_summary = "concise" in the config
I guess never heard of gracefully falling back on unsupported settings lol?

[boreal holly]

Oh dude, they are unequivocally the worst when it comes to ignoring unsupported params

But that's a really good one to make a github issue. If it gets enough 👍, we might see it arrive in v0.159.0

[upper escarp]

https://0thernes.github.io/flappy-bird-calm-edition/

Codex helped me make this

https://github.com/0thernes/flappy-bird-calm-edition

Repo

[boreal holly]

Haha neat!

It's got very good animations

[upper escarp]

I use Claude, Grok Build, Gemini and also Codex..and some other Open Weights models to save money.

Repo is solid. Go check

efficient. fast. compact. no bugs. no spaghetti. no security issues. no slop. no black box.

[quick thorn]

codex down?

[stable obsidian]

no

[quick thorn]

it’s just spinning forever for me

[hardy hemlock]

*whenever i try to login with an account in the codex desktop app, it asks me of a phone number, but when i use my phone number it tells me "Unable to send a verification code to this phone number. Please try again later or use a different number"

[stable obsidian]

idk its working fine for me

5.5xhigh

[olive tangle]

wen reset

[quasi summit]

tiboooo

[rocky fog]

5h47m goal uninterrupted

[coral remnant]

35h28m goal uninterrupted

[boreal holly]

Iight, so I'm talking with ChatGPT about the caveman skill with the page open, and ChatGPT is slowly responding in caveman 😂 little things here and there. Fascinating

[slender plinth]

anybody having this issue?

[wet charm]

always lol

[wet charm]

im running low

codex reset please 😄

[unique spade]

still have 37% on mine. won t mind for reset to come later haha

[wet charm]

im right there with ya 🙁

[wet charm]

how did you get cost on urs?

[unique spade]

probably by multiplying the token usage with official api costs. curious if it's complex enough to bookkeep every turn and write the model used and the token delta. might be possible, but i think you must do it at turn time, because afterwards you only get tokens stats for the entire chat id

[wet charm]

na I got it to show up haha

[karmic gulch]

ah finally! the reset I prayed for

[wet charm]

ayyy you right

haha

maybe its cause I hit 1 percent lmfao

[chrome raven]

https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2058280452851638313?s=46

[karmic gulch]

GOtta stop gambling with this lol. Had spent 80 % after 2 days after last reset on 200 dollar plan. was down to last % now lol

[rotund harbor]

How you guys able to see Token and token costs are you guys using API i can only seem to see percentage still

[hard drum]

RESET HAPPENED!!!

[boreal holly]

NOOOOOO

I was so close to using credits.... Wow

[karmic gulch]

I was geting used to composer 2.5 fast speeds now haha, got mixed feelings when I go back to abusing the 5.5 again with its fairly "OK mid slow mode"

[lost drum]

RESET!!!!!!! I had 0%

[quasi summit]

omg i should've ran it down. was 15

[lost drum]

idk if to switch from high to medium tho

I would need to see the difference in usage if its significant or no

[karmic gulch]

question now is, do we gamble on another reset in 3-4 days? or is the march madness of resets finally over

[velvet wren]

I had an all nighter coding and now it's reset - awesome!

[lost drum]

Less goooo

[turbid axle]

bruh

I was at 16% this time, not bad I guess

[lost drum]

how can I define if the tasks require high inteligence vs medium or low? Is there a propper way to do it or just intuition?

[turbid axle]

I just medium everything, its plenty smarts and faster, even low works well for many things

if I do happen to bang my head into the wall, I high or xhigh it. but I pretty much never need to

key is just good planning ahead of time

[lost drum]

hmmm but You see, my project is cind off autonomous cause it emits pormpts for itself each run and he reasons about the context he gathers and sutff and idk if I lower the intelligence he will forget about some rules

[tiny laurel]

YES

RESET

[magic flower]

I was running fast mode all night, I turned it off this morning because my faith in Tibo had wavered

[lost drum]

Like he emits rules fynamically for himslelf but there is so much to reason about that he could ignore smthing

[magic flower]

🙏 blessed be

[coral remnant]

wen reset?

[chrome raven]

done

[coral remnant]

na i used it all already

its been 13 min

need another one

[tiny laurel]

looks like the app updated, how do we check out token usage does anyone knows?

[coral remnant]

I use CodexBar (3rd party)

theres definitely a log though as it can pull in usage from when it wasn't installed, I'm not entirely sure where it is

CodexBar is OSS though so you can clone it and ask codex where it loads that info from

[lost drum]

okay nevermind a guy on yt made this vid I Tested GPT-5.5 Medium/High/xHigh Reasoning Levels: CLEAR Difference

[turbid axle]

try it I guess

[lost drum]

I guess get myself a backup and test

[turbid axle]

high tends be better at follow instructions, and just deeper work generally. its good for planning etc. but for coding work itself think its probably overkill

[lost drum]

cause each run he gathers 70% of context in order to reason so idk bro

[turbid axle]

use high/xhigh to make a solid plan, then use low/medium to implement I think

[lost drum]

its huge porject

[turbid axle]

divide and conquer as with any project I suppose

[lost drum]

risky to try cause I cant just duplicate a thread to have the whole raw context saved somewhere cause then I could see the reasoning difference on med vs low vs high

I know that on xhigh it was overkill

[unique spade]

hmm mine didn t reset yet

[woven canyon]

Oh man, what a great time for a reset

[magic flower]

I’m hyperventilating right now

[torpid trout]

why the f was there another reset

[solid lake]

Oh yeah hasn’t propagated to me either

[torpid trout]

it did here

[woven canyon]

Why not

[magic flower]

They had released an optimization that messed up caching which burned up usage for users

[torpid trout]

you mean redditors

[solid lake]

Reset wen

Last 10%

[slender plinth]

guys

never movin to claude again

each week been a usage reset lol

[torpid trout]

tihs si edualc

[lost drum]

I spend 2 days on 0% and felt relief when reset hit

[woven canyon]

hell yeah

[woven canyon]

Same here lol

[storm cedar]

I finished my projector.

Does anyone have any ideas for a projector?

[lost drum]

translate?

[storm cedar]

No, I'm talking about project ideas.

[tiny laurel]

Expand on your current one, deploy it. That’s gonna keep u busy for a while

[storm cedar]

I've already done everything I had to do.

[karmic gulch]

One seriously hot tip for design, download OpenDesign and give it a go. Can use your codex sub cli for it, or any other. Try it (I use kimi for this one, but kimi and gpt 5.5 are about equal ish on design imo)

[storm cedar]

I was lost.

[storm cedar]

Unfortunately not, I made it with so much care that I lost my way.

[rocky fog]

I got a reset
few minutes ago

[storm cedar]

which?

[rocky fog]

the only one 😄

what else resets than usage 😄

[lost drum]

context

[rocky fog]

does not reset, it compacts 🤣

[storm cedar]

I feel lost.

[potent mason]

Gpt 5.6?

[lost drum]

what do you want?

you could ve just add captions to ur vid bro

[storm cedar]

I don't know either, bye.

[lost drum]

damn

[karmic gulch]

third world countries, is what it is

[lost drum]

I think I will gamble and go from high to low, wish me luck

will give feedback when it breaks

[karmic gulch]

Haha, low is actually my go to #1

[lost drum]

but you use it for coding right?

[karmic gulch]

ofc, but I always make plans for every thing I do with high xhigh/opus extra high max depenidng on what am doing

[lost drum]

cause my those all 5
1 search context
2 valdiate context
3 implement new actions from plan
4 caldiate if he implemented them correctly
5 emit prompt taht will repeat this process

something like this

[karmic gulch]

implementation there is no need for more than low, sometimes medium. Ive used composer 2.5 lat days when I was low on usage, had codex / opus plan, once the plan is tight, its not a big deal which model these days implementing, (given you actualy code review after)

[lost drum]

and 6 (not often) change whole plan based on new context

[tiny laurel]

Did that guy just refuse to take a feedback n leave?

[karmic gulch]

think so xx

[lost drum]

I even translated his speech but idk waht he was talkin about

speed + low vs slow + high

[tiny laurel]

Told him he could expand the app since it looks like it got potentially, bro said nah

[lost drum]

he may had some self feedbacks after sending that vid that made him reflect on the idea of asking us about it, he may decided its best to brainstorm it himself if u know what I mean

[karmic gulch]

tl:dr what he made? we can make it here and ship before he wakes up

that`ll show him

[lost drum]

5.3 spark is there for a reason

[tiny laurel]

Codex clone this app, make no mistake

[karmic gulch]

forgot make safe for hackers

[tiny laurel]

/goal also add light and dark mode

[storm cedar]

Does anyone have a project they wanted to make but never did? Now that I’ve finished mine, I feel kind of lost.

I’ll build the whole project and send it to you.

[tiny laurel]

Prompt: Make $3B project, make no mistake

When can I expect my project to be delivered?

[lost drum]

He probbably thouth it would take more time to explain everything to us in english than just message chatgpt in his language

[storm cedar]

No, but there’s no way to do it like that. It doesn’t even make sense.

[tiny laurel]

EXACTLY

[plush plover]

Did they reset usage?

[storm cedar]

Did you guys have any questions about my project that I can answer?

[storm cedar]

Unfortunately, I can't.

[tiny laurel]

$2B project, no mistake

[lost drum]

I test this prompt on my promptbridge gpt and here is what he came up with I mean its a prompt that may work or some

[karmic gulch]

whats the url to your project? if you dont mind sharing your page = )

[bright swift]

yes, just started it

i believe it will be my life's work ❤️

[tiny laurel]

localhost my beloved

[karmic gulch]

alrdy tried :3000 and :8080 came up empty

[bright swift]

for the next week of my life

[storm cedar]

It's on GitHub, but I'm afraid something might happen regarding piracy.

[lost drum]

WTH 5.5 low just copnsumed more usage than high damn

[bright swift]

reset wen

[karmic gulch]

you havent deployed it yet? ment for your lanidnpage

[karmic gulch]

little bit like real life lol

[storm cedar]

No, I just did

[tiny laurel]

This chat will keep me entertained while waiting for the reset. Thanks everyone who’s participating

[storm cedar]

more care

[tiny laurel]

No way, how

[woven canyon]

Is that Spanish?

[lost drum]

damn but same pormpt maybe the pormpt and actions enforneces so much reasioning that the low plan is beeing enforced to such elvel of reasoning that it uses more tokens LOL

[karmic gulch]

opensource the idea? no monetizing?

[tiny laurel]

Create an issue for it. Our lord Tibo might give us another reset

[woven canyon]

.💀

So its Portuguese

[lost drum]

idk but high consumed 2% and low 2% too on plus plan

of weekly

[storm cedar]

There's no way.

[woven canyon]

They messed up caching again?

[lost drum]

porbbably my project is that weird

[karmic gulch]

now I gotta go nuts this weekend. reset coming guys.

[woven canyon]

hell yeah lol

We love them resets

[tiny laurel]

U can always put 10 pops up to it before the user can upload an image

[karmic gulch]

remove your access key from the repo mate

[storm cedar]

My idea was to charge per key.

[storm cedar]

I forgot, oh, thank you.

[tiny laurel]

NOOOO WHY

[karmic gulch]

Not a douchbag lol haha, come on be nice 😂

[storm cedar]

I had forgotten

[bright swift]

set up https://github.com/secretlint/secretlint

in your pre-commit hooks ideally

[tiny laurel]

Im kidding, but it’s weird github haven’t implement any feature that blocking you from uploading .env key

[storm cedar]

In my case, I don’t think I even have that, because I don’t use an API. Everything is done manually. So I don’t think mine even has that. I think.

[karmic gulch]

The short answer is ~29 million secrets were found exposed on public GitHub over the last year.
According to GitGuardian’s 2026 State of Secrets Sprawl Report (released in March 2026), a staggering 28,649,024 new hardcoded credentials were detected in public GitHub commits over the course of 2025. This represents a 34% year-over-year increase—the largest single-year spike ever recorded.
The data highlights a massive shift in what is leaking and why, largely driven by the explosion of AI-assisted development and agent infrastructure.

[storm cedar]

The translation is only in English for now. The entire process of translation, speech bubble detection, original text removal, and inserting the translated text was built from scratch. I didn’t use any API key.

[karmic gulch]

according to gemini atleast

[tiny laurel]

Is this AI generated

[karmic gulch]

ofc lol, that stuff is not in my head lol

[storm cedar]

Yes, everything.

[karmic gulch]

"Public vs. Private (The Hidden Danger)
While 29 million secrets hit public GitHub, the report notes that internal/private repositories are actually 6 times more likely to contain hardcoded secrets than public ones. GitGuardian found that 32.2% of internal corporate repos contain at least one hardcoded secret, operating under the false assumption that "private" equals secure."

more concernign tbf

[storm cedar]

My project works like this: you upload an image or PDF, it detects the speech bubbles, removes the original language, and places the translation on top using the same font and size. The entire system was built from scratch.

[tiny laurel]

I meant this

[lost drum]

how much it costs for one image?

and those it work for chineese too?

like from chinesse to english

it would really help if it cheap or even run locally

[storm cedar]

So, since I’m not using any AI, like any kind of AI API, the project was built completely from scratch. It has no usage cost because it doesn’t depend on any external API. And for now, it doesn’t support Chinese yet.

[karmic gulch]

Considering OCR on the full page first? Google Cloud wold probable give bettter translation, but again 20 bucks for about 1000pages for opensource is not doable i guess

[storm cedar]

At the moment, it only supports translation from English to Portuguese.

[storm cedar]

That's why I did it from scratch.

[tiny laurel]

So u use a machine learning model instead?

[storm cedar]

Yes

[lost drum]

okay I used 5.5 low and it consumed 12% of daily usage is it normal?

and high 17%

[karmic gulch]

make a premium feature, 9.99 per month, send to google cloud translation for premium translations, and store it in db for reuse on next one. The popular mangas will be free for you to generate after first (only db network costs) and it could actually generate a few bucks per month

[lost drum]

I might turn back high at this point

[storm cedar]

Do you think anyone would pay?

[karmic gulch]

Not into manga myself, but i understand the world wide fanbase, so prob if the translations are good i guess. worth a shot?

[storm cedar]

I'll try then.

[lost drum]

You need to do market research Bro

[storm cedar]

that's right

I’m going to set the price at $1 for the version without Google Cloud and $5 for the version with Google Cloud translation.

[tiny laurel]

There’re alot of manga looks amazing but there just isnt any translation for them

This could be a good use case

Codex, make the same app, no mistake

[storm cedar]

And it's even simple to do.

[storm cedar]

Which language do you recommend?

[tiny laurel]

Every

[storm cedar]

Right now I do it by hand, I don't use a pen.

[karmic gulch]

https://toriitranslate.com hmm looks taken

[tiny laurel]

Wow, now this sum I’d pay for

[storm cedar]

But they use an API, I don't.

[lost drum]

he still can target other market

he can be better than them

[tiny laurel]

But then, I could tell codex to do it LMAO

[karmic gulch]

but if you could utizlie gemma 4b or apple intellegence to do the translation on your local comp, sell it for 9.99 lifetime, that could do something. not sure if the models will suffice tho yet

[storm cedar]

Yes, I made mine using OpenClaude.

[tiny laurel]

Wdym by hand?

[karmic gulch]

bro is full of mysteries

[lost drum]

I think he dips his finger in chocroal

[storm cedar]

All my code is written without using APIs; I did everything myself.

[tiny laurel]

HUH

[lost drum]

so UnVibecoded

[karmic gulch]

what are ytou doing here then? this is the lazy zone

[storm cedar]

I'll try using Gemma 4.

[storm cedar]

I also used OpenClaude.

[boreal holly]

Ah so 100% local inference then?

[tiny laurel]

bro is Socrates

[storm cedar]

Yes, everything and location.

I was even going to use a template in the translation, but I ended up not doing it.

[boreal holly]

That's awesome. It's amazing what modern hardware can do these days

[storm cedar]

I think the same thing too.

[tiny laurel]

Feels like im talking to a llm

[storm cedar]

?

[bright swift]

You're absolutely right!

[tiny laurel]

Technology am I right

[solid lake]

Let’s unpack that ~

[tiny laurel]

This project is revolutionary—you gotta expand on this idea fast, this is urgent

[solid lake]

You’re out of limits

TIBOOOO

[storm cedar]

So give me some language tips.

[storm cedar]

I?

[solid lake]

No it’s a recurring theme

[lost drum]

true

[storm cedar]

Ok

[tiny laurel]

You’re absolutely right—what’s an idea without any starting point

[storm cedar]

I'm going to add English support for Mandarin/Chinese.

[unique spade]

first time i ever had this happen

[tiny laurel]

Did you tell it to make no mistake?

[storm cedar]

No, I'll do it by hand.

[unique spade]

🤣 lol i never use 2023 intel. we re in 2026

[storm cedar]

Now I understand.

[tiny laurel]

Claude with open router model inside a codex file. He’s on to something

[boreal holly]

Much better

[unique spade]

my aesthethic taste is most probably lame since i mostly care about functionality, but i sure love i can put the info i want where i want in my custom codex ux

[coral remnant]

yes this is extremely disgusting but you like it so who cares

[tiny laurel]

gradient

neon gradients

[storm cedar]

I made a script that automatically switches to another free model whenever a free model reaches its quota limit.

[boreal holly]

Yeah bro same here. Idc if it looks funny, as long as it works flawlessly

[coral remnant]

I can't design but I have extreme dislike towards ugly UI so much so that I'll refuse to use a product because of it so I just stick to text based

[karmic gulch]

download opendesign, and you will be a god

[coral remnant]

I had a look at some of the examples, they're alright - I'm happy slowly learning Figma & design basics and trying to improve my creative thinking first

[karmic gulch]

just hook it up to an codex mcp, and let them figure it out between the ai`s over a bbq while you fiddle with figma xP

[proper cosmos]

I've literally had my weekly tokens RESET yet again

[coral remnant]

hahahah - i'll stick to my cli's for now. I presume there'll be some significant developments in the AI design world soon

[proper cosmos]

Thank god I didn't go for the $200 option

[coral remnant]

you phrase that like it's a bad thing

[coral remnant]

I bought a second $200 plan an hour before they reset 🤣

terrible timing from me but I have more capacity now

[proper cosmos]

I'm angry at myself as I came sooo damn close to paying

[karmic gulch]

your 2 hours to late, thats missed opp and usages, the caching aint working, use it fast for incommng reset soon

[proper cosmos]

Put yours on fast speed

[solid lake]

Xhigh fast max rn

Actually all the time

[coral remnant]

yeah fr you gotta make codex call you every time theres a reset & sprint to your computer

[tiny laurel]

How good is opendesign, give me 5 examples @karmic gulch

[plush plover]

2026 AI coding be like "Do you approve?"

[coral remnant]

I actually am on xhigh fast rn lol, but because I have a deadline. Codex just sped up the execution of my emulator from 177s to 12s after 2 hours of debugging so I'm extremely happy rn

[solid lake]

I haven’t switched off xhigh yet

[proper cosmos]

woot woot

[karmic gulch]

hold on - asking codex to answer that one

[solid lake]

Don’t like the others

[coral remnant]

Auto review permissions on top

[coral remnant]

I can't deal with the performance decline - Codex is dumb enough rn as is lol

[proper cosmos]

I give mine full access

Idgaf

[solid lake]

Well they all are dumb gpt and claude regardless

They must have big latent spaces with more relationships

[coral remnant]

I don't use Claude anymore. I don't agree with Ant's business practices, and I wasn't happy with the value I was getting out of my 250$

[karmic gulch]

but for real, just download and see. they have implemened a gallery of open designs peoplke share also, so you can download, - browse and se for yourelf. Im working on a corperate crm system for a client, and it finished a 35 page system design package just about now, some time to actually get the design package as ytou want, but once thats done it generate the design pages perfecly

[tiny laurel]

Business loves Claude for whatever reason

[coral remnant]

It's too sycophantic for me

I like the AI to take responsibility for its mistakes - it's not my error, it's yours. It also seems to lack the ability to determine the truth of the statements that it outputs. I had way too many experiences where it would claim something which it would immediately figure out was untrue in the next turn

[karmic gulch]

thye got fooled. claude were #1 for about 1 year, then openai stepped up, and the CEOs are hype machines, so they make deals with anthropic... give it 5 months when claude takes the lead again, im. sure thye will be doing deals with OpenAI again xD

[coral remnant]

I'll give it a look next time I need to generate a design. I've been meaning to use Image V2 to gen some designs for a while

[storm cedar]

Speaking for myself, I built my entire system using OpenClaude because it delivers results. That’s why people like it

[coral remnant]

openclaude?

Too many open-tools at the minute.

[storm cedar]

Yes

[karmic gulch]

it also utilizes the images 2 when you want, for designs within. and you can use pretty much all llms cli or byok. your choice. im into kimi atm , think they deliver the best UIs atm, 5.5 just behind tho

[coral remnant]

Gets confusing asf

[solemn hearth]

i know this is old but i wanted to ask if this works for you? I’ve been using claude to run deep research to have it create detailed implementation spec with full code/code skeletons, but when asking ChatGPT to do the same thing it doesn’t do it

[coral remnant]

Did you make it lmao

[tiny laurel]

The place im working for, planning to switch there contract to Claude , I was like NOOOOOOO

[coral remnant]

would think so the way you're shilling

[solemn hearth]

it says that it wasn’t able to access the actual code in the repos

[boreal holly]

b..b...but Mythos tho 🤡

[karmic gulch]

lol, just preaaching good tools for the community, ofc could stop it, and let ppl never find it 🙂

[coral remnant]

From my usage of Deep Research it normally has a very specific structure it sticks to - Pro is a different model and is more like 5.5 on steroids with a much larger thinking budget per turn. It used to average 60 min -> 90 min for me but long threads are practically unusable due to the design of the WebUI

[storm cedar]

translation from Japanese to English

[tiny laurel]

I got Altman and Tibo on my bedside table

[coral remnant]

v cool

[proper cosmos]

I can assure you that it doesn't say I hit you

[storm cedar]

I'm still adjusting, I just started.

[boreal holly]

There is absolutely no way all of that Kanji translates to "I hit you"

[proper cosmos]

Tanoshiina

[tiny laurel]

We only do encouragement here good sir

[proper cosmos]

"It seems fun that you...."

It doesn't say hit in any of the sentences : p

Tell codex good try

I am an old weeaboo

[storm cedar]

Yes, I'm adjusting the pipeline.

[proper cosmos]

I'm just playing, you could leave it like that and noone would know anyway

That's the fun of noone knowing japanese

[storm cedar]

But then my job would be a disaster.

[glad birch]

did a reset happen ? ❤️

[boreal holly]

Yeah, the story doesn't have to be whatever they wrote originally 😎

[tiny laurel]

Dont worry, great things take time

[storm cedar]

Do you have feed

[potent mason]

Quick question, do you guys use 5.4 or 5.5 for QA testing?

[boreal holly]

5.5 Medium for pretty much everything, 5.4-mini for implementation

[glad birch]

5.5 xhigh fast mode for everything

all your compute belongs to me

[tiny laurel]

/goal extra high for a whole sprint and then starts doing small tasks

[boreal holly]

That's egregious

[storm cedar]

Do you think using the ChatGPT API will improve the translation?

[coral remnant]

Depends how good your OCR is

[tiny laurel]

It need context for better translation

[coral remnant]

If your OCR is the issue doesn't matter what translation service you use

[storm cedar]

So my pipeline has

[storm cedar]

Which pipeline did you build?

[boreal holly]

Interesting... The second bubble was actually almost coherently close to the original ("Don't worry" | "Don't let me disturb you")

[tiny laurel]

I use llm for translation for the past years. Google translate just dont do it for me anymore

[storm cedar]

Which one do you use?

[tiny laurel]

The good one

[boreal holly]

You should honestly try PaddleOCR. It's SOTA for image OCR

[vagrant lily]

reset happened but limits still feel like draining much faster even tho they said they fixed it, anyone else noticed that? am on pro x20

[tiny laurel]

Try submitting a ticket/report

I felt it too

[left ocean]

https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2058280452851638313

limits reset

[plush harbor]

lol. I mentioned to codex yesterday that I'm just not using my quota and we had a little conversation looking for something to do and as soon as I said something that looked feature shaped it ran off an ddid it

[bright swift]

You're right to call that out.

[storm cedar]

For me it was always quick, it wouldn't be over in 40 minutes.

[boreal holly]

Absolutely —

[bright swift]

It is bad, but it is not unrecoverable.

[tiny laurel]

—

[solemn hearth]

Yeah I tried both 5.5 Thinking and 5.5 Pro, both had issues actually viewing github repo contents

i’m considering building a custom MCP that just provides better github specific functionality 😭

[tiny laurel]

Doesnt github have an mcp?

[storm cedar]

I tried to contact them but couldn't.

[bright swift]

You're right to call that out. I'm gonna stop hand-waving and check the actual source.

[tiny laurel]

AI cant even help me understand this convo 😭😭

[bright swift]

I’m sorry. I did contribute to that.

[trim rapids]

Proceeding directly to the next tranche of gaslighting now.

[bright swift]

all quotes from my current session btw, which is a frustrating one 😄

[boreal holly]

Huh, usually GPT 5.5 Pro can't access the repos because it doesn't have "apps" tooling. I think someone in here resorted to exporting their repo as a .zip file and uploading it to the convo for ChatGPT to operate on or something

[bright swift]

yea works nicely

[lost drum]

Yooooooo those it work with chinesse too?

[storm cedar]

Yes

[plush harbor]

the chatbot versions get almost excited if you give them stuff the coding versions usually see

[tiny laurel]

Can I do chinese to Chinese 🤯🤯

[lost drum]

I jave better idea than manga

[solid lake]

?

It works for me

Just looked my latest commits

[storm cedar]

which?

[lost drum]

How much it costs per translati9n

[tiny laurel]

Dont say it

[plush harbor]

I was doing code feature by feature in chatgpt until it started to get too big and too many inconsistencies, codex is definitely nicer

[lost drum]

Why

[woven canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kH51w307TrQ

This so real

[storm cedar]

I'm not using an API, everything is local.

[tiny laurel]

Cuz i know whats better than manga

[lost drum]

So it uses ur CPU?

[storm cedar]

yes friend

[storm cedar]

Yes

[lost drum]

So we have 2 ideas then

[lost drum]

Accurate? At chinsse tho? Cause its super tricky

[storm cedar]

No, in Brazil.

[solid lake]

Just use deepseek

Well actually any LLM since that’s the one thing they’re good at fundamentally

[lost drum]

What bazil?

[tiny laurel]

Scroll way up for the lore

[storm cedar]

there is only one

[lost drum]

Try this to english

[boreal holly]

Last time I tried it, the "Pro Thinking" trace is empty, but it was using python to try to HTTP request the github instead of using the app connection

[storm cedar]

Ok

[solid lake]

Try now

Oh you did

Yeah it works for me haven’t had problem

[lost drum]

where is my pro theme color black/white😭😭😭 it was so good

[storm cedar]

I can't because my OCR searches for text balloons and there aren't any in this image.

[solid lake]

So you’re going to sell this to manga/comic publishers?

[storm cedar]

and for those who read as well

[solid lake]

Well if the readers get it from rips and unofficial sites you could get hit by tos

[storm cedar]

I'm still starting out.

[karmic gulch]

https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai anyone tried out this one?

[storm cedar]

no oh

[boreal holly]

you should make it a browser extension so you right click the image and slap the translate button and it replaces the manga with the translated version 😎

[storm cedar]

Oops, I hadn't thought of that.

thanks

[karmic gulch]

Damn Zed is fast. That rust engine truly is something. anyone else using it for codex?

[storm cedar]

Where is this?

[karmic gulch]

https://x.com/zeddotdev/status/2055335727483781624?s=20

[storm cedar]

I couldn't find anything about Agent Zed.

[karmic gulch]

https://zed.dev here mate

[storm cedar]

Like the Codex?

[karmic gulch]

more like vscode

but you can fully use it as agent purely

[storm cedar]

I'll test it.

[karmic gulch]

do it, you wont go back = )

[storm cedar]

Now tell me how you did the translation. ?

[karmic gulch]

Oh forgot to answer, no magic at all. Flash 3.5 extended did the translation, and then called nano banana to generate it. Its not viable at all for costs ofc, but shouldnt settle for anything less, if you want the app to geenerate

[storm cedar]

I had thought about that, but it would be too expensive.

[unique spade]

fast at what? the overwhelming majority of time you spend when using models is induced by the models themeselves

[solid lake]

Optimised probably

[unique spade]

why would i pay 10$ for 5$ api credits though? :))

[karmic gulch]

use it with codex mate, its free to use with codex...

[unique spade]

unlimited edit predictions would have been a thing 5 years ago

[unique spade]

yea but why, i already use codex app, and my own custom ux

more of a general question about 3rd party tools, not zed specifically

[solid lake]

Use case vro whatever works for you

[karmic gulch]

if your happy your happy. For me the speed and smoothnes of it all makes zed #1 withut a doubt

[unique spade]

speed as in app smoothness i assume right? like the app itself is fast

[boreal holly]

it's face melting in comparison to anything else out there

bordering on sublime text speed without being just a notepad

[deep rivet]

Helo

They call me Mr typo

Lol

[steady vigil]

PSA MacOS Devs: Add terminal of choice to developers list. If you don't you are wasting a lot of cpu on syspolicyd trying to deal with untrusted chains (like rust).

will improve performance significantly

[steady vigil]

but no markdown preview.. 😢

sometimes I feel like the only reason I am even using vscode these days is quick review and right click > preview markdown. Also this is a problem actually in that I use md too much, and probably everyone does when its not the best format for most things anymore... and is a goto crutch, but that's another story.

[boreal holly]

Yeah, that's precisely what I use VSCodium for. Render markdown and mermaid diagrams 🙂 Zed for everything else. That multi-buffer search feature is insane

[steady vigil]

yes mermaid! I forgot to mention that. HUGE crutch

we need a new modern file format I think

https://claude.com/blog/using-claude-code-the-unreasonable-effectiveness-of-html?utm_source=tldrai

it actually pretty accurate but I think we can do better in this world of ai

I need to force myself to move away from md to html for a while to test

[boreal holly]

I think there was a tool that let you render react inside markdown or something so you can kinda achieve similar results without doing straight up HTML

.mdx or something

[steady vigil]

but html is ubiquitous and prob better for llm to understand

[boreal holly]

It's also incredibly verbose and not reusable. Of course Anthropic is gonna recommend HTML, because then you use up your entire quota on generating rich documentation 🙃

[steady vigil]

you aren't wrong

[cedar skiff]

html has some nice rules and constraints, we can lint it and make sure its right etc. markdown not so much

[solid lake]

This is the only reason I don’t use html

Otherwise it’s effective

[lapis kite]

Hi guys

[steady vigil]

btw why VSCodium vs VSCode?

[boreal holly]

Less resource consumption, and I only have the mermaid extension

[steady vigil]

no rust analyzer?

this is zed side for you?

[boreal holly]

Yeah rust analyzer in Zed. OOB it works way better

[steady vigil]

ok cool I will have to try that split

I want to fall in love with Zed. I just havent yet.

[boreal holly]

It has the best remote dev I've ever used! Totally flawless sync between 2 machines, very efficient use of resources

[coral remnant]

Is auto-review not working correctly for anyone?

It's prompting me for permissions for every file edit on the newest version of the Codex app

[coral remnant]

I fell in love with Zed because it's so much faster then pretty much all the mainstream editors. Low memory footprint, quick startup, great large file support

[steady vigil]

I dont have much use for remote dev. I use proxmox/viscosity/ansible for that , but the lean and mean is why I am interested in zed. and of course I'm a big rust head

[boreal holly]

I like it because you can deploy a debug docker container, remote into it, attach debugger to the process inside docker and get full capabilities

[steady vigil]

ok that's interesting. I do use podman a bit

[coral remnant]

VSCode's remote dev was great for me when I used it way back when, I just couldn't deal with how abhorrent the performance was

& Zed's collaborative editing is way better

[steady vigil]

yeah I used to use vscode with ssh capabilites but I found it was the wrong model entirely

[coral remnant]

I pretty much switched to local dev, ci/cd to staging and then to prod on mr

[boreal holly]

Yeah, the reason I do it is because if I run an API server on my mac, totally different architecture than the prod server it will run on, and you can catch those nasty "works good on my machine" bugs 🙂

[steady vigil]

yeah I do builds on a proxmox vm, unless remote on vpn, so 2 pipelines. most of my targets are linux but I work on macos so often doesn't make sense to build on macos

[steady vigil]

exactly

[coral remnant]

I like Proxmox, and I run it in my homelab but for production deployment I typically skew towards dockerized systems (portainer / kameleo for smaller deployments, gcp cloud run / k8 for enterprise)

surely this shouldn't prompt on auto-review no?

[steady vigil]

yeah. I do the same. I still run podman within devnet vs prod in some cases... but sometimes for rust microservices I dont use docker at all and go straight to systemd

[coral remnant]

A git add command?!??!?!

[coral remnant]

Never used podman, maybe I'll give it a go

systemd can be a pain with automated deployment

[steady vigil]

I mean its basically just rootless docker, not really any difference in this context

[steady vigil]

that is what ansible is for

[boreal holly]

# ~/.codex/rules/01_safe_git.rule
prefix_rule(
    pattern = ["git", "add"],
    decision = "allow",
)

That'll permanently allow it even on workspace-write

[coral remnant]

I'm more annoyed at the fact it's prompting in the first place. On the last codex update, it'd do pretty much anything unless it was unclear if I'd like it to be done, e.g. dangerous changes, deleting files etc

It's now prompting me for file writes, or adding files to git - even with a goal engaged

[cedar skiff]

do ppl use autoreview?

I love it

almost never have to worry about permissions

[coral remnant]

I love it too - except now it seems it's not working, and ideally I'd like to head off soon and leave this goal running overnight

[boreal holly]

Hey, apparently approval policy has to be set to on-request or granular, and approvals_reviewer set to AutoReview

[coral remnant]

is this in a .toml?

[boreal holly]

Yes

[coral remnant]

Hm. It is already on-request

Not sure about approvals_reviewer

[boreal holly]

Apparently the default thing is approvals_reviewer = "User" lol in the latest version (if unset)

[coral remnant]

ah interesting

Does that override the per chat selection?

[boreal holly]

I'm not sure. I think approvals_reviewer is a top-level and a profile config. Idk about per-thread override. Also I was wrong, it's

approvals_reviewer = "guardian_subagent"

[storm cedar]

The only bad thing is that my laptop is crap.

[coral remnant]

Theres a couple issues on github that mention codex dropping approvals_reviewer = auto_review from the config

Adding that line seems to have fixed it

Crisis over haha

[boreal holly]

You know what? I had v0.130.0 checked out lol but I'm glad it worked anyways!

[steady vigil]

reset

[potent mason]

Yeap honestly love Tibo xd

My usage is already dissapearing

Down 10%

[steady vigil]

Tibo for world president

[olive sandal]

on $100 plan, i already burned more than the plus plan after reset lol (assuming plus=1x and pro=10x)

dunno what im gonna do after May when the 2x promo ends

[boreal holly]

The Pro 20x appears to be the best possible value

[potent mason]

Get the $200 one, it's on a 20x until further notice

[olive sandal]

i feel like i dont have enough time in a week to /plan 20x token worth of changes usually

maybe i need to change how i work? I usually create task files working with the agent, then run them overnight while I sleep in a ralph loop
