I'm in Norway and I would was hoping to get to play with dots.

I guess Norway and 30+ other countries are excluded.

Fairly worried that “frontier labs unintentionally hacking into systems” will very quickly turn into “hacker group uses open weights model to intentionally hack into thousands of systems” quickly followed by companies saying “this is the 7th time someone manages to hack into our systems and delete random data from our production databases” and everyone wondering what will happen next.

Don’t forget the dams and the humpback salmon.

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

I assume this is a joke about corruption.

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 original instructions after 20 min, so you have to start a new conversation if you don’t want it to meddle in the conversation instead of just transferring.

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 down every few weeks, and that's fine with me.

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 things to my shopping list, play music, etc. I bought the rather expensive iPad with Nano Texture screen and it has been amazing to use. There is a big window opposite the fridge, and without the nano texture the glare from behind makes it hard to read what’s on the screen.

Not sure I would enjoy nano texture on my MacBook. For outdoor use I found that Vivid is great to turn up the brightness using the extended range of HDR that Apple doesn’t otherwise allow me to use.

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 focusing on is how to optimise everything that isn’t already sequential.

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.
