My current 30-day Codex usage amounts to over 15,000 USD in tokens.

My M3 Max can burn through battery much faster than my M1 Max ever could. And some apps are really inefficient. New Codex app drains my battery. If you are using Codex I recommend minimizing it, since it’s the UI that uses most power.

This is the voice model, which doesn’t have any «thinking» or «reasoning» phase. It’s a useful model for questions that aren’t intended to trick the model. I’ve used it for live translation with great success. It tends to start ignoring the

o3-pro is better than 5.2 pro! And GPT 5 high is best. Really quite interesting.

You should add OpenAI Codex CLI.

Mine is mounted to the fridge, so it's not seeing as much use as it otherwise would. Screen does get smudges and they are more noticeable compared to the regular iPad screen. Not so much that it's a problem to be honest. I wipe it

I tried the iPad Pro with Nano Texture and found the display to have a rainbow grain, especially on pure white backgrounds. Are you bothered by anything similar on the MacBook?

I tried the iPad with Nano Texture and didn’t really like the rainbow effect that shows up on white brackgrounds. So I ended up returning it. A while later I had an idea to mount an iPad to my fridge so that I could check the weather, add t

When I took my first database course one topic was IO performance as measured in seek time on regular old hard drives. You can’t really optimise your code for faster sequential reads than the IO is capable of, so the only thing really worth

I didn’t think there was much point in WiFi 6 unless you go 6e and get the 6Ghz frequency?

I’m curious about if the model has gotten more consistent throughout the full context window? It’s something that OpenAI touted in the release, and I’m curious if it will make a difference for long running tasks or big code reviews.

I hate the new electric busses from China. Their acceleration is much better and braking effect is also stronger. Bus drivers in Norway are binary people. They either press the accelerator or they press the brake. Most drivers call it leg d

I don't think anyone is pretending that a Macbook Pro can compare to 8 H100 cards from Nvidia in terms of LLM training or for serving LLMs. But you can buy an awful many macbooks for the price of 8 H100 GPUs. But if your workload belon

Phishing. Super easy now to send a fake email with a great offer, and have your name and loyalty programme number right there in the email. Much easier to trick someone when your email contains a bunch of personal info that you wouldn’t ass

Looks like some benchmarks have started leaking: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Snapdragon-8-Elite-Gen-5-perfo... Mind you, Geekerwan managed to push the A19 Pro to 4019 in Geekbench 6 by using active cooling. https:/&

18 cores = 12 Prime and 6 Performance Cores Not sure what a prime core is. For comparison the M4 Pro can go as high as 10 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores.

Anyone interested in more info and detailed videos should check out Geekerwan: https://youtu.be/Y9SwluJ9qPI English subtitles are recommended, unless you are better at Chinese than I am.

In Norway I've noticed that stringent requirements for privacy make it much easier to run things in the cloud if the physical location of said cloud is actually in Norway. So if OpenAI is hosting their services within the borders of th

It’s great for multitasking. I’ve cloned one of the repos I work on into a new folder and use Codex CLI in there. I feed it bug reports that users have submitted, while I work on bigger tasks.

by hmottestad 1y ago
Been playing with Codex CLI the past week and it really loves to create a fix for a bug by adding a special case for just that bug in the code. It couldn't see the patterns unless I pointed them out and asked it to create new abstracti

Have you tried this one here by any chance? https://huggingface.co/dslim/bert-base-NER Just wondering if it’s worth testing and what it would be most useful for.

I don’t think they trained it for fact retrieval. Would probably do a lot better if you give it tool access for search and web browsing.

«Get notified when we’re launching» There doesn’t seem to be anything here yet. I signed up, but haven’t heard back yet. So not much of a «Show HN» when there is nothing to see at the moment.

Good for you. Cross my fingers that you'll land a good job soon. Or create your own job.
