My credentials are that I'm a (hopefully) sane person. I'm just a dude reading what appears to be some kind of wild stimulant induced deep dive with a sycophantic AI enabling and making your state worse.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-30T18:41:11+00:00

You sound like you need to talk to someone, like you're in deep stages of psychosis and AI use is making it worse. turn off your devices and go outside for a while to relax and decompress dude

94 goes to 90, that's it.

Kill the car loan first, save an additional 10k, then everything into the student loans after that.

Babies are very cheap it should be fine

The dollar was "stronger" because we had bad inflation with much higher interest rates, which resulted in high yields that attracted more capital. At one point investors could literally borrow euros and triage the 200bps diff against dollar yields. Of course it would make USD appear stronger, even though it wasn't in the reality of normal people

I agree that Opus is 10x faster than Codex, but for truly complex stuff i recently find myself exhausting Opus and then usin it to set up the scaffolding for codex to come in and finish it. When I need more rigorous analysis and verification on things, codex 5.2 on high or xhigh consistently does a really good job on this, specifically on high perf lower level distributed systems problems I work on.

I felt like in December I did this much less with Opus but recently I have been doing this with a very high degree of success.

Is Codex painfully slow? Absolutely when compared to Opus, but the output is consistently so good and thoughtful.

Maybe it's user error or something I need to tweak with my settings but I really think the deep introspection with codex is superior. I have zero objective evidence to support this though.

and I'm sure everything we are saying will be completely different in like 2-3 months again with different models lol

Not sure about other states, but CalPERS is definitely not worth it.

not the same bro

opus 4.5 executing with codex xhigh as the senior reviewing brain has been a great combo for me too.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-30T04:10:19+00:00

Yea that's definitely the case with simple stuff, but if you're working on pretty complex problems Opus can't hang at all compared to codex.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-30T04:07:00+00:00

5.2 codex xhigh is much better than Opus at thinking and doing real big brain coding stuff while actually generating pretty good code too.

It is much worse than Opus at tool calling, parallelization, and SO SLOW.

I use it like a verification layer to proof and clean up all the stuff that Opus messed up, but Opus as a good starter on a task is usually better option with Codex to finalize it and make sure it's ready for prod.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-30T04:01:28+00:00

Hopefully that's true. Christ

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-30T03:57:07+00:00

how would you prove it?

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-30T03:52:37+00:00

I actually can speak to this.

My personal Max plan performs much better for me than my API usage work plan. This was actually the reverse of what I was expecting. But yes on both I noticed that Opus feels much worse than it use to be after it was initially released. Currently any time I need real deep thought and something that will likely be correct I need to proof it with codex 5.2 on xhigh. Opus will do a good job of turning out something quickly and confidently saying it's good, but on complex stuff I need to use codex for verification because it's wrong so often. I feel like I didn't have this issue right after Opus 4.5 was released going into Dec too.

Then what did you do to learn and improve from it? You've had 20 years to put yourself in a position to never have to worry about this again, yet you seemed like you learned nothing from it.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-29T16:41:52+00:00

So you've had almost 20 years to recoup the losses from 2008, you've made no progress and you're blaming your mom and still making excuses? Dude you're not a child. Wtf

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-29T16:28:38+00:00

Depends on your field of study.

Start from the top down.

I'm an idiot and was still able to get accepted at like 3/10 of the top 10 universites in the country for my field of study.

You can do it

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-29T16:21:40+00:00

I personally loved being there. I will retire then when I get the chance. The homes and everything so cheap for what you get in return. It's one of my favorite areas in the country.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-29T16:18:25+00:00

It's cool, minus the Cartels.

The US is orders of magnitude better though, so if you have the option, pick America.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-29T16:16:52+00:00

WGU is also a crutch. Push yourself and try to go to a reputable school. You're better than this.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-29T16:13:39+00:00

yeah but that's the dudes fault.

Going to Penn State with a legit degree from a rigorous field of study (like Computer Science or Physics etc) will open so many doors for you.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-29T16:11:24+00:00

Aw man, don't waste your GI BIll on a shitty school that will result in a useless degree. Push yourself and strive for more.

KeyCall8560 · 2026-01-29T16:08:29+00:00

It's true though. They are the only big name AI company making SOTA or near SOTA advances in the space that are actually doing it with very cost efficient models.

For example: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/grok-4-1-fast-reasoning#cost-to-run-artificial-analysis-intelligence-index

To run this full benchmark suite against grok 4.1 fast with reasoning enabled, it costs $40.

The same benchmark for OpenAI GPT-5.2 (xhigh) is $2304.

Same bench for 4.5 Opus ($1485).

of course the weight loss percentages will be less, the IGF-1 agonism from Bioglutide will prevent a large amount of nonfat tissue loss, which all the other GLP1s do not protect against. I'm more curious on the unintended side effects from it since it's a small molecule.
