Concrete cost data from today: rebuilding SQLite in Rust via planner/worker split cut agent spend 22x

tldr:

GPT-5.5 Codex model exhibits a clustering phenomenon in which reasoning_output_tokens cluster at fixed values spaced 518 apart.

These stuck responses at fixed thresholds are strongly correlated with errors in complex tasks.

Observed phenomenon is specific to GPT-5.5; it is much less prevalent in GPT-5.4 and almost absent in GPT-5.2 and 5.3

Intersting piece that was posted here and there in HN's comments but could deserve more visibility. Many points make sense

Looks a lot like Codex!

What are your use cases?

Wondering too

Does it work on windows? And how do you then remote in?

Bad at coding, but would it be good at code review?

If you are still ready comments, have you heard of this? https://docs.kiln.tech/docs/documents-and-search-rag

How can I learn that clever prompting?

Are you using it? I will definitely give it a shot, any pointers to online resources will be appreciated

Let's say I want a free, local or free-tier-llm, simple solution to search information mostly from my emails and a little bit from text, doc and pdf files. Are there any tool I should try to have ollamma or gemini able to reply with my own knowledge base?

So do you have a tool to suggest?

What was the source of inspiration for Claude? I skimmed through the text and it does not look too bad, but devil is in the details and I need more time to go throught the fine prints. One remarks is that Young slit experiment could show what happens with a single slit vs 2

Would make one piece on optical interferometry? Inalways struggle explaining this with simple terms when asked to.

Can you really use Cursor for CPP ? Would you mind describing your setup? How better is it than copilot or windsurf?

I have a Windows PC with a GTX 5070 (12GB) any chance to run it?

Are there any similar solutions for MSVC? Almost all these tools are focused on VSCode.

Do you have a plugin for MSVC?

Can I select the tts engine from your /talk link?

Yes I do

"The phone app appears to use text-to-speech based on the device's locale. On my laptop, it's speaking English with the worst French accent imaginable

Can you write, compile and debug c++ with that?

I'm curious what would be the best way to replicate an x/y (optionally z) system with 0.05mm or lower accuracy? Without sacrificing speed of course.

I find Codeium on PyCharm very powerful. Too bad their plugin for MSVC is so limited in comparison.

Intersting, can you generate fancy printable reports from this tool?

Raise your voice on their forum: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/how-to-overcome-the-hu... Tried my luck 2 years ago but it keeps increasing.

Isn't OpenCV mostly developed/funded by Intel?

Sorry I meant pasting images in description and in comments. Glad this is on your list!

I had more time to play with it and kinda like it. Do you have plans for image pasting in task description and maybe comments too?
