Yes we all know that, but we still like to see the pelicans because it's a tradition more or less

Why no Utah Teapot!

There's a systematic marketing campaign from oai on reddit and HN - there's a huge uptick of "codex is better than claude code" comments and posts this last week which is perfectly timed with the claude code increased limits

Go to /r/codex and see how pissed off people are by the new Codex Plus plan 5-hour limits (they're a sliver of what they were a week ago). Whatever OpenAI is doing to market on Reddit isn't working.

I'm not sure what changed or what the complaint is ... But personally, I have still never hit the rate limit on the $20/mo ChatGPT Plus plan, while I was constantly getting kicked off the Claude Pro plan until I got fed up and cancelled a few months ago.

I can get about 20 ~ 40 minutes of my 5-hour limit using Codex 5.4 medium to say write a patch script in typescript for a Firebase + BigQuery app. That's including about 10 minutes of first writing a planning.md doc with 5.2 High.

A couple weeks ago I'd get roughly 2~3 hours. And a month before that I couldn't break the 5-hour limit.


They were running a 2x rate limit promo last month.

Theoretically yes. In practice even a few weeks before it ended, the actual rate limit was down to what it was before the promo. And now I'm getting roughly 0.25x of what I got before the promo.

To be fair, GPT 5.4 is mostly a better model than Opus 4.6 in terms of quality of work. The tradeoff is it's less autonomous and it takes longer to complete equivalent tasks.

Thing is, Codex 5.3 is a better and more consistent model than anything Anthropic have come out with. It can deal with larger codebases, has compaction that works, and has much less of a tendency to resort to sycophantic hallucination as it runs out of ideas. I also appreciate their approach to third party harnesses like opencode, which is obviously the complete opposite to Anthropic and their scramble to keep their crumbling garden walls upright.

Which makes it even more of a shame that Sam Altman is such a psychopathic jackass.


sam altman realized the molotov cocktail incident was not enough of a story to get sympathy, so now he's just drumming up his bots for good oai PR.


The problem is sam is a prolific liar, as has been proved many times.

It's difficult to sympathize with the boy who cried fire


I don’t think someone should be burned alive because they’ve lied unless they’ve spread intentional lies that have caused death or harm to others which I don’t believe Sam has done. Personally I find it very easy to sympathize with someone who was attacked in their own home with their family unprovoked even if they have lied in the past. It’s crazy how blood thirsty people have became lately.

I am not talking specifically about him but when you reach a certain level in society and large enough umber of people start reading or listening what you are saying your every sentence must be extremely thoughtful because it might have unintended consequences, which are impossible to measure. That’s why so many leaders are publicly so boring and bland.

I think people just shouldn’t be burned alive.

I'm actually trying to build something similar to this for personal use, not as a product. What did you find was the most difficult technical step when building? I'm finding it particularly challenging to separate rhythm and lead guitar parts (both in terms of stem separation and also when transcribing by ear).


I've been working on it full-time since 2012, so it's hard for me to reduce 14 years' worth of work to a single "most difficult technical step."

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude or unhelpful, but that's not a question I can provide a meaningful answer to. There have been dozens, probably hundreds, of difficult technical challenges in building Soundslice.


fair do's


Who cares how it compares, it's not a product it's a cool project


Even cool projects can learn from others. Maybe they missed something that could benefit the project, or made some interesting technical choice that gives a different result.

For the readers/learners, it's useful to understand the differences so we know what details matter, and which are just stylistic choices.

This isn't art; it's science & engineering.


But it isn't the OP's responsibility to compare their project to all other projects. The GP could themselves perform the comparison and post their thoughts instead of asking an open ended question.


> it isn't the OP's responsibility to compare their project to all other projects

No one, including the GP, said it was.


It isn't, but such information will be immensely helpful to anyone who wants to learn from such projects. Some tutorials are objectively better than others, and learners can benefit from such information.


100% agree, I didn't mean to imply that OP is responsible for that, or that the (lack of) comparison detracts in any way from the work.


> Who cares how it compares

Well, the person who asked the question, for one. I'm sure they're not the only one. Best not to assume why people are asking though, so you can save time by not writing irrelevant comments.


Microgpt isn’t a product either. Are you saying that differences between cool projects aren’t worth thinking and conversing about?


Now please build a frontpage for all the frontpages on blogs


You're absolutely right!


The Matrix style human pods: we live in blissful ignorance in the Matrix, while the LLMs extract more and more compute power from us so some CEO somewhere can claim they have now replaced all humans with machines in their business.


I was thinking more of the season 3 episode of Doctor Who titled Gridlock where everyone lives in flying cars circling a giant expressway underground, while all the upper class people on the surface died years ago from a pandemic.


Ever get the feeling that the universe is reading your mind? Maybe there's some truth to that after all.
