It might be objectively true for you. Opus 5 is fine for me and works better and faster on low and medium than higher effort on prior versions. Same as 5.6 Sol compared to 5.5 or 5.4.

A total measured over the entire US economy without adjusting for a variety of factors including inflation and population change seems like exactly the kind of thing you would expect from a news headline. How about average or per capita?

As always, it requires evaluation with your work because I’m often finding grok to be much more expensive than the price would lead you to believe. There’s also the frustration of it not quite being enough sometimes. It’s extremely capable,

That’s unfortunate. I’m not interested in using Musk associated products anymore than I have to.

I’m trying to understand how this is useful information on its own? Maybe I missed it, but it doesn’t tell you if it’s more successful for less overall cost? I can easily make Sonnet 4.6 cost way more than any Opus model because while it’s

The docs suggest not using max effort in most cases to avoid overthinking :shrug:

IMO it doesn’t handily beat it. It’s typically equivalent, sometimes better, sometimes behind. Better at following a well defined plan, less good at concept exploration and planning imo. At 1m context it’s basically the same price.

People keep saying this, but I’m not sure I buy it. I was using both Codex and Claude Code heavily on some projects this weekend. In one project Codex was screwing everything up and in another one absolutely killing it. I’ve seen the same f

This is my experience too, and I always find these posts confusing. I consider myself a very heavy user 4-6 hrs a day and I never hit limits. I have on the $20 plan but not with Max.

It’s not an issue with limitations of current technology. In some cases it’s just greed and laziness. I’ve had two vehicles that have the ability to be more friendly to other drivers, but that functionality is only enabled outside of the U.

Then put the warehouse on the first floor and put the store on top. Lots of big cities have grocery stores with parking garages under them, doesn’t seem much different.

You should still give it a try. Can’t speak for their experience, but doesn’t ring true for me.

The man was prosecuted and the jury found him not guilty. I would be curious to know what their reasoning was. I think mine would be that since these agents seem to face absolutely no consequences for their far more egregious actions. Why s

The agents statement was also apparently a lie. Photos showed the sandwich was still in its wrapper on the ground after according to other articles like this one https://reason.com/2025/11/06/d-c-jury-acquits-

Fair question. The jury in this case decided it wasn’t assault. My hypothesis is that people generally feel that police face little to no accountability and so there is a more serious double standard to contend with.

True, but more and wider references seems to imply better when I’m not sure that’s true. Wikipedia is edited and it’s sources are curated. I think that’s a good thing.

That depends on a lot of factors, but for me personally, yes it is. Much worse. Assuming we’re talking about hosting things for Internet users. My fiber internet connection has gone down multiple times, though relatively quickly restored. M
