<p>> Zero Electron imports remaining in the codebase<p>and you know that AI wrote all of it with minimal human supervision.<p>side note: last few days I noticed that vscode stopped leaking memory all over the place. when left idle it was taking all the ram I had + 20gb of swap space<p>and recently I noticed that I have half of the ram free.<p>I use insiders build btw, so stable might still not have those improvements</p>

<p>There is one more feature that zram can do: multiple compression levels. I use simple bash script to first use fast compression and after 1h recompress it using much stronger compression.<p>unfortunately you cannot chain it with any additional layer or offload to disk later on, because recompression breaks idle tracking by setting timestamp to 0 (so it's 1970 again)<p><a href="https://gist.github.com/Szpadel/9a1960e52121e798a240a9b320ec13c8" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Szpadel/9a1960e52121e798a240a9b320ec...</a></p>

<p>counterargument: I always hated writing docs and therefore most of thing that I done at my day job didn't had any and it made using it more difficult for others.<p>I was also burnt many times where some software docs said one thing and after many hours of debugging I found out that code does something different.<p>LLMs are so good at creating decent descriptions and keeping them up to date that I believe docs are the number one thing to use them for. 
yes, you can tell human didn't write them, so what?
if they are correct I see no issue at all.</p>

<p>Previously they didn't officially quote how much limits were included in pro subscription, but you could determine it by upgrading from plus that reached weekly limits - after upgrade you ended up with 8% used limits, so we can assume they reduced limits by half just for pro users.</p>

<p>inference costs nothing in comparison to training (you have so many requests in parallel at their scale), for inference they should be profitable even when you drain whole weekly quota every week<p>but of course they have to pay for training too.<p>this looks like short sighted money grab (do they need it?), that trade short term profit for trust and customer base (again) as people will cancel their unusable subscriptions.<p>changing model family when you have instructions tuned for for one of them is tricky and takes long time so people will stick to one of them for some time, but with API pricing you quickly start looking for alternatives and openai gpt-5 family is also fine for coding when you spend some time tuning it.<p>another pain is switching your agent software, moving from CC to codex is more painful than just picking different model in things like OC, this is plausible argument why they are doing this.</p>

<p>I gave it a spin with instructions that worked great with gpt-5-codex (5.1 regressed a lot so I do not even compare to it).<p>Code quality was fine for my very limited tests but I was disappointed with instruction following.<p>I tried few tricks but I wasn't able to convince it to first present plan before starting implementation.<p>I have instructions describing that it should first do exploration (where it tried to discover what I want) then plan implementation and then code, but it always jumps directly to code.<p>this is bug issue for me especially because gemini-cli lacks plan mode like Claude code.<p>for codex those instructions make plan mode redundant.</p>
