I have never had any of these problems using codex. Codex just works. on like the cheapest organization plan, I've never hit any limits, ever. Meanwhile I go on hackernews every day and I see you people talking about claude like its 1943 and you're frustrated that your cheese rations have been cut again.
claude has half the context window size of codex and blows through a good percentage of it right off the bat by injecting a system prompt the size of don quixote
The elites are trying to come up with new ways to oppress.
No one voted for this, and the last government was actively voted out for all this sort of bullshit.
However, to give a prime example of two faced ideology, we now have a government that had the position that trans-women are women, but as soon as they were elected switched to a trans-phobic position.
Nothing the current government does is based upon their election campaign, nothing we voted for is being pursued, and nothing happening is what we want. Labour are actively corrupt.
This law was introduced to help deal with what is essentially a public health issue.
Any law can be framed as oppression on the basis that it informs people they're not allowed to do something. Speed limits oppress drivers who want to drive over 70 mph, etc.
Also, it was the Supreme Court who decided on the issue of transwomen being legally interpreted as men in the Equality Act, this was independent of the Government.

Starmer (as it was he who said it, not "official government position") doesn't have to change his position based upon a court ruling that something wasn't clarified enough. They could also say, we still believe that trans-women are women, and we will work to correct this oversight. What actually happened was destroy support for him as he chases voters who would never support him anyway.

Except this is criminalising personal adult activities. We can justify this as a public health issue once the police prosecute ex-prince paedophiles.
Remember that "public health" can be used in all sorts of ways.
These "personal adult activities" are highly risky and, given the ease by which a man may harmfully strangle a woman compared to vice versa, a form of gendered violence. Nothing at all like playing football.
Overhauling the Equality Act, which would be a complex and time-consuming process, wasn't in Labour's election campaign either. They have more pressing issues to deal with.
Anyway, the Supreme Court judgment confirmed that everyone's rights are still protected so it's not like there's a huge oversight that needs to be corrected.
No I love being stuck in traffic every day of the week for hours, its totally worth it because I can drive to an empty patch of grassland that no one wants to go to and there's nothing there. That's why cars are so amazing and freedom granting. Trains can't take you to the middle of nowhere to do nothing for the 1% of the time you don't want to be near other civilization so cars are better
lol, yeah. Meanwhile they can't even comprehend that it's a false dillema: Europeans have cars just fine, even several per family.
They just don't have to use them all the time since they can take the more efficient public transport, and they can buy one after college even, they don't need to drive one from 16 yo just to be able to get around...
Yeah lmao, I was well aware of maple story as a kid, it was advertised to me on the western websites I used growing up, it was just bad and clearly not as impressive as something loke WoW which I also didn't play but at a light glance I can clearly say it had a lot more effort put into it
Maybe the other games just sucked? That screenshot of that vietnamese game we're supposed to feel bad for not knowing about looks awful, like any of the western mobile slop that's a dime a dozen. There is no fucking way on earth you're going to make me feel like I'm discounting "women's games" from gaming history by invoking a kim kardashian video game
Are you saying that because you're also skeptical? I haven't had the best time switching to agent coding. I mean for throwaway work its fine but its kind of boring and aider still messes up from time to time
I probably lean on the sceptical side of the spectrum. I'm not against giving it a go if I can get value out of it but I'm not having the wonderful experience that these people are having.
- The asynchronous nature of it slows me down and it feels the opposite of what this bloke is saying around getting into a flow.
- I miss things because I'm not thinking it all the way through.
- The issues with errors or hallucinations.
- It does not feel faster (I might blow through a couple of things really fast, but the issues created elsewhere sometimes eat all that saved time up).
- The quality of work is all over the shop. Bigger projects just fall apart after a while.
I also wonder if the way I think is hindering me. I don't like natural language. I struggle to communicate at the best of times. All my emails are dot points. If someone asks me for a diagram I write it in plantuml or using a python library. I work in DevOps and love declarative manifests and templates.
Try as an initial step having the agentic AI improve your prompt for you. I have a "prompt improvement prompt template", which is a standardized document (customized for each project I'm working on), that has a bunch of boilerplate instructions in it, along with a section where I paste in my first-draft prompt. I then feed this document (boilerplate + crappy prompt) into the AI and it creates a way better prompt for me. Then I edit that to ensure it's correct, and then that becomes the prompt I use.
