Gpt 5.5 combined with codex is really good. I actually have no doubt whenever I asked questions, plan, or implement a code with it. With opus 4.7, I have to keep double checking because it doesnt follow the CLAUDE.md instruction, it hallucinates a lot, by default it makes things up when it can’t find the answer to something. Its crazy how quickly people are saying that OpenAI is left behind last year when they declared code red and look at where we are now

yeah this is crazy we had many PRs reverted as well on many repos. downtime is 1 thing, but reverting PRs is failure on another level

I actually did the same pilot for a couple of days, while I don't like codex reply, it tackled some problems that claude were spinning for 20 minutes in 5 minutes. Now I have them side by side for codex to review claude's plan and it always find something that claude missed. The reply and the format though is not as good as claude. Pros and cons really, there are many cases where claude weren't able to debug prod issues like codex did as well for me

robertwt7 — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 04:34:31 +0000

I always try out new photo editors but I've kept coming back to LR because of familiarity + number of presets / plugin (Dehancer) that I've bought. I think there should be some presets converter somewhere that helps us with moving to other software, not much can be done for plugin though. regardless I'm a happy user of Davinci Resolve and this is amazing!

I really really like tmux, probably i'll try Zellij at some point but its always my default on a new server to install tmux, copy oh my tmux and vimrc configs. then voila I have everything. I have to say I feel magical most of the time i'm using it

There’s a startup callled Graphite dedicated to stacked PRs. I have been using them for a while now I always wonder why github doesn’t implement something similar to this. I probaly will try and switch to GitHub to see if it works flawlessly

How did they agree to the terms that were initially put forward by Anthropic but with OpenAI? Surely there’s a catch here. Or is it just Sam negotiation skill?

I’m surprised that gemini 3 pro is so low at 31.1% though compared to opus 4.6 and gpt 5.2. This is a great achievement but its only available to ultra subscribers unfortunately

yeah this should be the standard, same here in Australia unfortunately the police will just pretend to care by taking more information and then does nothing.

New comment by robertwt7 in "State of the Windows: What is going on with Windows 11?"

robertwt7 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 22:45:24 +0000

I always find some things that doesn't work with my PC on windows 11. Sometimes things as simple as moving files in explorer makes it hangs where I had to restart explorer.exe. This is embarrassing really that windows can't get this right. There are so many times where I was frustrated and wished that I can just use my macbook pro as my only workstation. I just wish that steam on linux has full support for most games that are it supports in windows then i'll make the switch

my pc is not even that old, its ryzen 9 5900x with rtx 3080 and 32gb ram. however it is sluggish compared to my m1 pro macbook pro

robertwt7 — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 00:41:55 +0000

yeah this is so sad, I'm an early supporter of Tailwind since v1 and I also bought the tailwind UI as well to support them. I hope this era doesn't discourage the tailwind team or put them out of business

New comment by robertwt7 in "Gemini 3 Flash: Frontier intelligence built for speed"

robertwt7 — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 03:26:30 +0000

looking at the results, it seems like flash should be the default now when using Gemini? the difference between flash thinking and pro thinking is not noticeable anymore, not to mention the speed increase from flash! The only noticeable one is MRCR (long context) benchmark which tbh I also found it to be pretty bad in gemini 3 preview since launching

New comment by robertwt7 in "Claude Opus 4.5"

robertwt7 — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 00:52:05 +0000

this is very impressive! as much as I love Claude though, is it just me or their limit is much lower compared to others (Gemini and GPT)? At the moment I'm subscribed to Google One AI ($20) which gives me the most value with the 2tb google drive and Cursor ($20). I've subscribed to GPT and Claude as well in the past, I find that I was hitting the limit much faster in Claude compared to all the others, it made me reluctant to subscribe again. from the blog post it seems like they've been prioritising the Max users most of the time?

yeah i agree, the prompt is to "shorten the giraffe's neck length", not to bent it. i feel like the Gemini 3 produces better result on that one

as much as I love Wikipedia and I think we need it, I just realise that I haven't opened Wikipedia in the past few months. My default workflow is now replaced to Option + Space and ask gpt questions.
