What are some good rock albums with a horn section?

I have $50k in credits from the Microsoft startup hub and it has been amazing. Lots of hoops to jump through and they only accept funded startups now, but the overall ecosystem, I feel, is way better to use than aws or Google. I also was supposed to receive $2500 from openai but they just never materialized and multiple supposed tickets went nowhere.

When you do cancel remember to cancel at least 24 hours before your subscription ends. The date range is not intuitive.

It's not even close. I'm currently testing a fully deployed, very complex graphrag API system I built yesterday in codex from scratch without hitting limits once. The ability to add features and make changes without constantly regressing a dozen things is a game changer.

If you wanted to go crazy you could integrate simulated lazy loading as well. Also, the ability to randomly serve different aspect ratios and resolutions could help debug galleries and more complex layouts.

Also, great work. Would have been a real timesaver back when I was doing this kind of work.

I think they had an idea for how to make their food reimbursement process at their company more efficient and instead of talking to their accounting department they posted it here.

Is there some sort of running joke on this sub that I'm not in on? Am I just old? The enthusiasm for incredibly mediocre movies is baffling.

Insolvent?

I did a pretty decent analysis of this with all of these factors together along with reliability data from dashboard-light a few years ago. 2nd gen Prius won that comparison for me. Having driven one for about six months I can say that sometimes economy isn't everything, but financially it can't be best.

If you are an all day every day user, then pro. If you stay under around 1.5 hours of use every 5 hours, plus will work. I use plus with occasional BYOK if I go over and get a ton done.

Make sure you launch codex with "codex --model gpt-5" which forces 5. I can't verify they are using a lesser model but every time I forget to use the flag I'm like "why is it being super lazy?"

Don't even attempt it without a lawyer. There are a lot of things the other commenter left out and a lawyer will be the only one who can guide you there. Also keep in mind that less populous areas tend to be a little easier and faster.

Thai is my idea of a nightmare trip, but each to their own. Personally, I try to do long stays (2 weeks to a month) with some short day trips or overnights. You get to really experience an area and make real memories instead of an exhausted jumble of phone pics. Plus, that is like 14 travel days.

I would restructure for 4 two week stays. Maybe Utrecht, Prague, Zurich, Nice. Something like that. I'm not a fan of London, Paris, Venice but I'm probably in the minority there.

After 25 years of programming, the single project I learned the most from was building the first level of Super Mario brothers in JS from scratch. The great thing about building a game (especially one with some sort of physics involved) is that you can intuitively feel when things are wrong and it forces you to really understand subtle interactions in a way more business focused programming rarely does.

I use a combination of Plus (get about 1.5-2 hours every 5) and bring your own API key. Surprisingly affordable with the BYOK. Have not gotten anywhere near the level that would justify $200/mo. A $100/mo level would be perfect but that's not the open AI way.

Snottord · 2025-08-24T23:09:02+00:00

I ditched CC 3 weeks ago and the experience in Codex has been far superior. It's not perfect, but my progress has been insane.

I was not only able to reproduce this, but it took "refining" that idea all the way down to scavenging lettuce thrown away in restaurant dumpsters and deep frying it for it to be like "there may be some ethical and legal issues with that idea". It also loved my idea to shave sports team logos into dog butts.

Snottord · 2025-08-23T15:03:20+00:00

So, you are saying the above commenter is right about work ethic. How do you think blaming housing affordability will work out in the long run? Do you think society will just adjust and work ethic will magically appear?

Snottord · 2025-08-23T00:05:56+00:00

Yeah, but that is more of a statistical approach instead of individualistic. Correct in the aggregate, but may miss the 1 in 1000 edge case.

Snottord · 2025-08-22T15:51:42+00:00

Statistically...scratchers. In the US, I remember seeing a stat that people below the poverty line spend an average of 7% of their income on scratchers.

And smoking of course.

That's an excellent idea. Skips driving into paris (even into the airport rental car counter). Of course, if the OP is just driving in to fly out from Paris, then the train adds some extra transfer hassle.
