Because training is more expensive I guess

If explained in a specific way and order, yes, it's likely.

He's talking about learning that makes you operational. If you can speak with someone, then you've learned language. If you can get a computer to do something, then you've learned some programming.

The equivalent for biology would be to grow a plant or a few plants and animals successfully. That's operational at a certain level, you could also be operational at a lower or higher level.

Ok, I agree with the sentiment. You shouldn't solve for problems you don't have yet, especially since with AI it's easier to refactor.

It's not about prettiness. It's about being harder to extend thus making future adaptations harder.

I've had the same experience but at the same time I also find Sol's answers in conversation longer.

This helps because the ELI5 was too general. To me at least.

High Fast? I don't see that option in my Codex. I only have 3 models: 5.4-mini, 5.4 and 5.5, each with 4 levels: low, medium, high, extra high.

I've only had that happen with Chinese models until now. Interesting that Fable is doing it too.

Curious, which model do you use for Codex? I'm very happy with the solutions '5.5 high' finds. It's like it understands exactly what I mean and it also anticipates all sorts of situations. Before I used '5.5 medium' for some time and it was a bit underwhelming. It may sound funny but it's like it didn't care that much to do a good job.

That's a good salary, better than Romania on average. And if you also have lower prices (at least that's what I heard), even better then.

I'm also unemployed. So far the models that I've used the most are Kimi and GLM. I haven't done that much agentic coding though, I've mostly used them for studying math and general conversations and I'm generally happy with their performance.

There's DeepInfra. There's also OpenRouter where you can find several providers.

I thought it was determined (slight pun) that free will is not a thing. I'm referring to Sapolsky's book "Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will)" as an example.

In case you don't know, Gemini 2.5 flash is hosted on DeepInfra. They also have 1.5 flash but not 2.0 flash.

I have no affiliation with DeepInfra. I use them, because they host open-source models that are good.
