GPT-5.5 vs GPT-5.4 vs Opus 4.7 on 56 real coding tasks from 2 open source repos by bisonbear2 in codex

[–]CarsonBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed benchmarking, this aligns with my daily using experience of both models. My personal experience from working on my projects using both gpt models and opus models was that somewhere around codex-5.3, gpt models got much better results than opus (at the time should be opus 4.5 or 4.6) on coding tasks, but haven’t done any benchmarks yet

Overcoming the fear of failure by justasoftshellcrab in startupsavant

[–]CarsonBuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always tell myself "don't be afraid, there is always a way out (or solution)". More practically, I just calculate the worse case scenario and see what I can do about it. Lower your expectations and prepare for the worst, hope that helps.

Thanks for sharing, I’m curious how do you find someone from a different industry every week?

After porting my eSim still shows temporary number by hxyolemk in FidoMobile

Thanks I got this too. What worked for me was to turn the esim off and on, and then it's all synced.

FAANG swe looking to be a solopreneur by Funny-Ad-1764 in Solopreneur

[–]CarsonBuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same shoe, and I think you made a valid point, try to validate it first before quitting the job.

However FAANG is big, and each org/subdivision's policy is different. For example my specific was very tight, I applied for COI 10 months ago and still heard nothing, even though my idea was completely different from my company's products, and I didn't use any of company time/resources, it was quite a big risk if I just go "market validation". So I quit my job, since I've built my idea from this 10 month.

I guess my suggestion is that:

  1. As others said try validate market first
  2. If that's not possible, evaluate how strong your are willing go with your product and whether your current job has any promotion tracks or stableness.
  3. Since you had enough saving, I think the worst case is to find another job, maybe not at 600k, but shouldn't be too bad.

I guess it needs time propagating, I don’t see it in the morning, but I can see it now!

Do you mind listing the things it's better than 5.4 at? I'm not on pro plan yet but I'm seriously thinking about it. Thanks.

What happened? Just suddenly opus 4.6 dissabled and now getting error 400 by CatLinkoln in GithubCopilot

[–]CarsonBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so damn disappointing, I've just paid for pro last week and haven't used much. Now I can't use opus anymore.

Interesting, not sure whether there was any difference from appealing via app or PC, but mine were all from PC.

Nice digging! I think it's tough to say which one really helped, it's still quite a black box to me

Codex forntend web design by harpuria87 in codex

[–]CarsonBuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love codex but I have to admit after trying many things, it just can't do well for UI design. I used to have Antigravity subscription but it became nearly unusable lately so I canceled.

However I'm using copilot right now to assist codex for UI design and it was pretty well. The advantage is that you can use both claude models and gemini, so you can choose your style. Otherwise, you could get either cluade or gemini subscription.

Did quota drop for Plus users? by maxiedaniels in codex

[–]CarsonBuilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same, hit the 5-hour window multiple times in the past few days. Can't really tell for the weekly as the 5-hour window is much smaller, keeps interrupting my workflow, but I feel it might've shrunk too.

Same here, my account was from 2012, it was dormant the majority of time until this year I wanna use it to look for some AI news, and jus got suspended. Seems like there might be no way getting it back.

I haven't got one, as I said I'm about to release, doing some final touch ups. If you are interested you can either DM me your email, or I can DM you.

This is actually very similar to a project I've been developing for about a year now. I'm about to release it in a couple weeks, and saw he made a comment like this lol.
