But does he read all those tests to know if they're right? Or does he just ask the LLM if the test it created were good?

Nice to see a France24 link in the wild, it is a very underrated news outlet

Even in the US, which is already very HCoL, I think you seriously underestimate the number of households who've either never had who have cut household Internet. Lots of households where everyone's Internet access is on smartphones via MNVO mobile carriers, typically on $10-$20/mo/line plans with 5-25GB/mo/line.

Have you used a clipboard manager? There are tons that you can configure with notifications and indicators, so you don't have to that.

If only there was dozens of services for this exact issue. this took me less than a few minutes with classic non-LLM search:

the regular reddit.com can still be accessed without a login, but that's the bloated webapp with tons of ads and tracking and takes dozens of MB to load over hundreds of network requests.

So who is going to make the xcancel version for old reddit?

New comment by jubilanti in "OpenAI reduces Codex Model Context Size from 372k to 272k"

I did find a strategy, thank you very much, and it was easy:

  npm uninstall -g @openai/codex && curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

This was the final straw that got me to downgrade my OpenAI subscription and move the bulk of my spending to Anthropic and Claude code.

OpenAI devs, if you're reading, this is how you lost a customer.

The fact there is no way to disable auto-compaction like every other coding harness makes me scream. It fires randomly at 10-20%, so really you now only have guaranteed context of 272k * 80%. So many times I've had it work on a large codebase, it is almost done with a task, it needs maybe a 2000 token response, but it drops below 20%, it churns and churns and churns and then I see the dreaded ``Context compacted`` and scream. You can't go back in the history to the state of the conversation before the compaction. So then it has to investigate the codebase again gets to 20% and then auto-compacts. So it then has to read more, and then auto-compacts again, and then I'm out of tokens.

The fact there is no way to disable auto-compaction and no way to go back in the conversation history to before a compact makes codex a no-go for me on any codebase > 5kloc. Even worse it seems to fire randomly at 10-20% of context left. So really you have 80% of 272k as real usable context. Compaction kills my sessions, it hallucinates and is worse than starting fresh. I've had enough times screaming at my computer when it burns tokens on a large codebase, gets to 15%, auto-compacts, and hallucinates so bad it has to read the entire codebase agin, gets to 15%, auto-compacts....

the era in which the tech industry built software to last was over long before LLMs, especially VC-backed startups.

I detest this writing style, where you assert arguments you don't actually believe in and know are in bad faith, in that sniveling "prove me wrong" tone, to provoke some kind of reaction.

Well, mission accomplished, reaction provoked. I'm not going to read this multiple times. I'm going to fire off this comment and remove it from my brain forever.

A safehold is like maintenance mode, shutting down all non-essential systems, after it detects something is wrong. Doesn't necessarily mean it is gone for good, but not a good sign.

jubilanti — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 14:55:09 +0000

They cite "context collapse" and say this "uni-context" is deeper, but I still don't see how this "uni-context" is all that different than "context collapse", extensively studied since the 2000s. And which Goffman in the 1960s was writing about in the context of big mixed social gatherings like weddings, that bring together people who know you in quite different contexts.
