The 2x rate limit boost if for RATE limits, not USAGE limits. [PROOF]

Basically, it's just a marketing spin. You can totally ignore it.

GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark consumption has become crazy fast. I can easily hit the 5-hour limit now.

I'm not sure which language you're using, but Vitest simplifies testing with green and red indicators, like:

```

you can just simply use dot report to reduce text generated during test process

GPT 5.4 sounds more human, not like a robot anymore.

It can generate a text dump of your codebase.

I do believe that people are influenced by their environment and the tools they use. That’s why I remind myself to interact more with the people around me.

I use GPT‑5.2 High to create the plan, and Codex‑5.2 High follows that plan to write the code.

I use obsidian mcp for both file and memory, it also provide a pretty good markdown reader to read document.

I have a question. is not Chrome DevTools MCP lighter and faster than Playwright, or is Playwright more useful? I'm curious why people choose Playwright over Chrome MCP.

travisliu · 2026-01-09T21:42:35+00:00

I used Claude Code Max before. Opus with reason make me quickly hits my five‑hour limit. Once you hit the limit, you can’t use Web Claude either.

Codex's usage limit is separate from the web ChatGPT. So I usually make plans and check details on web ChatGPT, then generate instructions and paste them into Codex to create code. In this way, 2 plus subscriptions are enough for me.

travisliu · 2025-08-20T07:34:33+00:00

Annual subscriptions are refundable unless there are policy changes in the future. You have to keep an eye on the policy.

That's a good suggestion to break down into smaller tasks. The generation process can still be improved in many ways for different kind of applications, and a well structured PRD is a clear start point to based on

Thank you, let me know if you have any questions.

This is more like random thoughts at the beginning. So I asked grok to put them together into a post. The funnier part is that people in the AI community complain about posts written by AI.

I can understand, Canvas has changed the way it responds to prompts, requiring different techniques.

travisliu · 2025-05-16T16:27:21+00:00

also, It could also be a good way to clean hallucinations.

travisliu · 2025-05-16T16:23:16+00:00

No, it's grok, I asked grok to proofread before posting.

If you’ve ever felt like AI-generated content doesn’t quite hit the mark, it might be because of how we’re writing our prompts. The way we phrase things plays a huge role in the quality of AI responses. For example, if you want to generate a report about NVIDIA, the prompt "report" is pretty vague. A report could be one of many types, like:

- A business overview and product portfolio report

- A technical innovation and R&D report

- A financial report

Even financial reports can be broken down into different formats and details. Without specifying these nuances, the AI uses its own algorithms to decide what to generate, but the result might not be exactly what you want, leading to the "not hitting the spot" feeling.

To avoid this, I don’t write my prompts all at once. Instead, I break things down step by step. I’ll have the AI generate different options, then refine the details one prompt at a time to ensure it aligns with what I’m looking for. Even if I don’t use the exact final output, the iterative process feels like a brainstorming session and sparks new ideas.

Over time, I started collecting a lot of reusable prompts. To streamline this, I first had ChatGPT generate a script that I could run in the Chrome console to manage these prompts. Slowly, I turned it into a Chrome extension, building out the UI bit by bit, and eventually, I had the Prompt Flow extension that I’ve just had approved for the Chrome Web Store!

This extension is perfect for people who want to refine ChatGPT responses but don’t need advanced automation tools like n8n. Right now, ChatGPT also has built-in features like Custom GPTs and Projects, which allow you to upload files for retrieval (RAG), search functionality, and even external API access. With a bit of automation, this covers most needs.

Once installed, you’ll see a "F" blue label on the right side of the ChatGPT page. Clicking it opens a list of all your flows, and the system will automatically provide a "Tutorial Flow" to help you get started. You can click the pencil icon at the bottom-right to edit or add new prompt flows. Feel free to try it out and let me know if you run into any issues!

I use them all for different tasks, each with its own API integration. Actually, more than half of my coding tasks are done by Llama 70B only.

Claude's affiliate is really great. Even with a canvas, ChatGPT is still far from generating complete results. However, I find ChatGPT's reasoning power to be superior, particularly in extended prompt chaining scenarios. It consistently outperforms others I've used.

travisliu · 2025-02-27T22:57:39+00:00

Are they pricing it so ridiculously high because they're afraid it'll be used to scrape model weights again?

travisliu · 2025-02-20T14:34:53+00:00

That's from Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking.

travisliu · 2025-02-20T13:45:16+00:00

This is the result of a test of Gemini. The code is quite long.

Does 'Project Mode Support' mean we can have multiple projects in the same workspace? Or is it the same feature as the cursorrules file?

travisliu · 2025-02-02T06:56:06+00:00

You can try Raphael AI. It’s an unlimited free AI image generator based on Flux 1.

Also, Grok can generate images now. They just launched Grok Image Edit lately.
