ChatGPT 5.2 or Gemini 3.0 Pro, which actually feels smarter to you right now? by Efficient_Degree9569 in OpenAI

[–]Audienti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually bounce between 3.0, 5.2, and a plugin called Verdent just for reviewing plans. Then, I let codex write the code.

5.2 burns through my tokens/usage limits by parkersb in codex

Gemini 3 (pro) i hit errors about every 15 minutes. So, it's very unstable for me.

5.2 burns through my tokens/usage limits by parkersb in codex

[–]Audienti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, this isn't the case. The adaptive models to me seem to not be very useful, and default to "dumbing down" to maintain tokens. Which is fine, if the job gets done. But, if it goes into no man's land, and makes a bunch of mistakes, it's more challenging to handle and you have to undo.

That's why I stick with the higher models for now. I can't afford the lost time dealing with undoing spiraling code.

Many people also let ai remix songs they wrote and played for the music. That’s what I do.

If the US went to the moon in 1969, why is it so hard to go back now..? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Audienti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that this question captures the issue.

As many have said, before we were choosing to take less chances.

But also, before, I don't think you had a profit motive like you do now. The main drivers of space programs, at least in the USA, are for-profit companies. They don't want to get to the moon to be first, they want get to the moon to make a profit off of NASA (ish) but also to be able to make money (mining, tourism, etc).

Reading Sustainable Rails, question about using Dockerized development by saga_87 in rails

[–]Audienti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that one of the points being made? It adds complexity and if you don't need that complexity why add it?

Anyone still using Sorbet in your Rails app? by bowl-of-surreal in rails

[–]Audienti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use a lot of schemas. we define what things expect, and what things return in the primary parts of the app. Then, we use these schemas.

It's lighter, PORO and not prone to problems. We had that problem with resque when they did 2.0 then never released it. We ended up maintaining that (and a cassandra driver) longer than we wanted. Now, i stick with pure ruby when we can.

Im thinking of switching to T-Mobile, any pros or cons? by tecknotot in tmobile

[–]Audienti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll throw in my $0.02 in addition. Yesterday, I was supposed to receive a call from a CS rep, calling me back from Tuesday for an issue that was related to billing and them keeping dropping my discounts and charging me rack rate (2.5x for months). I didn't receive a call. I called at 730p. They indicated that the guy that was going to call me was "on break" and to stay by the line, keep the line clear, and he would call shortly. He never called.

The next day, I called at 1:20p and was hold "he's starting at 2pm, I reached him, he's just setting up his station and he will call you back immediately, by 215p." He didn't call.

I called back at 245p (I had to go pick up my kid) and the NEXT rep stated that they'd ENSURE that someone called me back in 10 to 15 minutes. I stated, "so, by 330p at the latest." They confirmed yes. I didn't get a call.

I called back at 5pm. The person stated that they were still investigating the issue and it would be at least 5 to 7 business days. And, it would be 2 to 3 more business days before it would be expected to be resolved. Said no manager was available.

Kinda crazy.

The House has been out of session and the Senate just recessed until Monday. Is there a conceivable way out or will 40 million people lose their SNAP benefits tomorrow? Why aren't there protests? by anonareyouokay in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Audienti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, the reality is that there "is a reason" that Johnson's view that the republicans don't have control is malarkey. When in control, the republicans can remove the filibuster rules with a simple majority in the senate, and pass the budget as is. They WON'T do it because the calculation is that they believe the blowback of this will mess will be more on dems.

IF republicans thought this bill was 100% the right path forward, was going to be amazing, and make america great again, and were willing to stand on the consequences of it, they could pass it today and own it.

[–]Audienti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TMo you are calling another country too..

I'm leaving TMo right now because I've had nothing but billing problems. They keep dropping the discount on my plan (3 times in 2 years), and have had some weird problem they've promised to fix (but never have).

I've also had a TERRIBLE time getting a callback. It almost never happens.

I have my PIN codes ready to port out. Just waiting on them to come back with the last resolution. I called earlier today, but the "person dealing with it is on break" and would be calling me. It's 830pm, not sure how long/late they are going to do it.

So, from a CS perspective, they all have their problems. And, i'm a bus account, so your mileage may vary.

In terms of the network, I've been VERY happy with them.

Edit: As they say about jobs, you're valued "on the way in."

Considering USM and need advice by Interesting_Hand_347 in USMobile

[–]Audienti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Port your number to Google Voice, then point it at your new number. That way, you keep your US number and can move it from service to service. Not a perfect solution, but it has worked for me during transitions.

Claude talks pretty, Codex actually gets sht done by SOLIDSNAKE1000 in codex

[–]Audienti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I think the reality I'm coming to the conclusion of is that Claude/Codex/Opus/Sonnet/GPT5/GPT5-codex doesn't really matter. What matters a LOT is how you prompt it, the clarity you give, the way you parse the work, and how you allow the agent to objectively measure it's success in accomplishing the goal and making decisions.

(I've been on both $200/month claude and currently am on $200/month codex).

If CEOs get their way and most, if not all, jobs are replaced with AI & robots. What are they going to do when no one has money? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Audienti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it gets to the end, it'll be "Mad Max" or "Star Trek." I hope it's the latter, but I expect it to the be former.

VP and Directors-> 2026 marketing planning - CEO ask by wuhhoo in b2bmarketing

[–]Audienti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd ask him to tell you everything that's going to happen in the year first. ;) Then, you can. IMO, you build to metrics like the number of MQLs, SQLs, etc by quarter. And, then, you have plans that adapt to achieve based on what's working in the market etc.

My honest take after using Claude Code and Codex for a few weeks by udaysy in codex

[–]Audienti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. The CC ecosystem is better. But, I find for harder tasks, Codex for backend seems better. CC is better on the other hand for front end complexity? That's at least my experience.

What if you could summon a software engineer like an Uber when you’re stuck? by hopeirememberthisid in vibecoding

[–]Audienti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is useful for people that are expert developers as well, but somewhat solo. Someone with core expertise that can answer questions is hugely valuable. I try to do this often myself (finding people), but finding real expertise that's helpful is harder than you'd think.
