This would take an insane amount of tokens though

Also, my agent works seamlessly when using Claude, but every time I switched to Codex it would get confused, go in circles, and ignore my instructions. It was useless.

Codex is pretty good for coding. But so is Claude

Indeed, it’s gotten much worse than it used to be. It’s much more superficial than Claude, does not follow instructions as well, and reads like crappy listicles.

I see no reason to keep my ChatGPT subscription. An inferior product made by a reckless and morally bankrupt company.

"While venture capital is often associated with the cutting edge of technology and "disruption," a more accurate analysis sees it as the blunt edge of maintaining the status quo of the ruling class, in the broader political economy as well as within the media sector specifically." Andrew Dewaard

I'm looking forward to @jennhu.bsky.social's South by Semantics talk next week at UT Austin! She'll discuss "micro-pragmatics" inferences and world modeling in language models πŸ€–

The first episode was intense.
But fortunately there's enough humor in the script that the rest of the show is not as intense or depressing as it sounds. And Rhea Seehorn is incredible in it

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After (Updated)

Modern tyranny is terror management.
I wrote this essay in April 2025 and updated it in November. I'm posting it again now because my fear of this scenario has continued to grow.

And many other things!

1. Getting other people’s messy academic code to run

2. Installing stuff (no longer need to track down chains of obscure dependencies)

3. Getting feedback on fuzzy half-baked ideas to the point where I can quickly test them out

4. dashboards, EDA

5 Organizing tabs, files
