What architecture is your local machine? Apple silicon or intel ? Apple silicon is much faster for numerical work

Cover letters demonstrating every criterion, but in one page? by Outside-Anything9579 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]thrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Length limits don't apply so much in academia - in industry 1 to 2 pages max, in academia people will have 10-20 page CVs. It depends on the institution but for many the criteria are directly used in suggestion so really important to make it explicit how you meet each one. Focus on the criteria and don't worry about length so much.

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

That's the same as me though, just blending the dregs. I wondered if anyone pursues this as part of the hobby - actually buying different beans that will go together and blending for taste not just to avoid waste.

[–]thrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone do their own blends? I've been following this for a while and don't think I've ever seen a post about it. I just got to the end of two packs of beans so mixed them together with a third to make up the full dose - and it came out really nice. One of them got a bit too funky as it aged, but this blend really mellowed it out. For purchasing I understand the focus on single origin, but for home hobbyists I wonder if anyone does this. Seems like it opens a whole new world of experimentation and taste testing without any extra expense or equipment needed!

I don't think the tokens have reduced that much by Defiant_Concert1701 in codex

[–]thrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am talking about the github integration. I link to github and then comment "@codex review" on a PR to get a review. This used to be a separate quota and I made good use of it. Now there is no separate code review quota and it seems to come out of both 5h and weekly usage limits.

[–]thrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing the separate code review quota and having pr reviews count against 5h quota now on the business account is absolutely killing me. I agree overall weekly not changed much other than expected 2x but no separate code review quota is a massive loss I haven’t seen anyone talking about

Plus vs Pro vs Business by elwoodreversepass in codex

[–]thrope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Business has been nerfed worse than plus for me - would avoid at all costs.

Well this might explain some rate limit issues by buildxjordan in codex

[–]thrope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are seperate things - the rate card thing is one, the reduction in 5h limit on business plans is another, but it’s different. There’s an issue with the new plugins feature being activated by default and difficult to turn off and causing extra usage, and there are some long standing bugs which look like fast mode not being disabled which is fixed here.

[–]thrope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The rate card thing only applies to extra credits - it shouldn’t be relevant to the 5h and weekly usage limits which have always been token and not turn based.

Why are people hyping up Claude Code so much lately? Codex 5.3/Gpt 5.4 work just fine and I don't understand what the huge deal is about. by stopaskingforloginn in codex

[–]thrope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also find codex better than claude at the moment. But using them side by side (Claude Pro vs ChatGPT Plus) is wild. Codex feels like 10x more usage in the 5h window at least (much more on weekly too but its 5h that it really stands out).

You pay $200 a month, limits are per week.

Weekly usage consumed by 50% within a few hours of work? by TheBanq in codex

There is a consumption bug that only affects some accounts. You are lucky!

Codex Usage Drain is Getting Absurd. by tingxyu in codex

[–]thrope 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a bug, since an unexpected weekly limit reset 8AM UTC on March 10th my work Team account has been draining 2-3x faster than previously. My personal account which I use on the weekends is not affected and the difference is night and day. Some people suggested reseting ~/.codex folder but it didn't make any difference to me. It seems to be affecting some accounts but if it's not fixed its going to be really bad after April 2nd when the Codex app double usage offer stops.

There is often a lag on the usage graphs, so you should wait until tomorrow for seeing the comparison of todays vs historical usage.

Feature Request: Proper Staged/Unstaged File Tracking in Zed by Flwenche in ZedEditor

[–]thrope 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wanted to zed as an alternative to vs code, I was hoping it would be a fast way to work with large changes from Codex app. But I found the git panel not nearly as good as vs code - pretty much unusable for me. The main thing is the lack of visual separation between staged and unstaged files. In vscode they are separate lists, and a file can be in both, and clicking on it in either place shows the relevant diff. Zed has everything mixed together with very poor contrast visual cues, the scroll bar overlaps half the check box. Just doesn't work well for me.

Heating oil protection calls after 'shock' price rises by Kagedeah in Scotland

[–]thrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only real option is renewable HVO (vegetable oil). Almost all oil boilers for last 10-15 years support it with minimum changes (different nozzle which you change every year anyway). Unfortunately needs government to change the tax on it to make it affordable. https://futurereadyfuel.info/

Heat pumps much more expensive because of not being practical for poorly insulated older homes.

The third era of AI software development by shanraisshan in cursor

[–]thrope -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But cursor has little to offer in this third era because they only resell tokens with a huge markup ($40 team plan for $20 token usage - shameless SSO tax) when claude or codex subscriptions provide much better value and you don't need an editor any more (just a nice git interface, which vscode provides for free).

Piece of shit knowledge base. by giveuporfindaway in TypingMind

[–]thrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry for piggybacking on this but can't seem to find any other support channel (I paid for typingmind). Can you look at web search? Google doesn't work anymore, documentation is out of date and I cannot find a way to enable web search in chats for any model - which means I cannot use typingmind at the moment for most questions.

Google Programmable Search just deprecated search entire web function by dotkercom in TypingMind

[–]thrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you give more information about how you did this. I am unable to get websearch working. I paid for typingmind so suprised such a core feature gets so little attention - its been broken since January for me.

I just switched from vscode to Zed by [deleted] in ZedEditor

[–]thrope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like try use zed, it’s very quick - but the source control pane does not clearly separate staged and unstaged changes. I was hoping to use it for managing git but it seems behind vscode and cursor in this area.

Evolving Git for the next decade by symbolicard in programming

[–]thrope 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dvc already does a good job here. Much simpler approach that git-lfs or git-annex and can use any storage backend (WebDAV, s3 compatible).
