If you put n dots on a sheet of paper, how many pairs of dots can be exactly one unit apart?

A question that has stumped mathematicians for decades.

Solved in <32 hours and $1,000 in tokens.

Props to the LinkedIn rep who sold this ad.

@KostasPardalis Very true. Doesn’t get hung up

Pay attention to Codex.

I’ve replaced Claude Cowork entirely. Note that I’m referring to Codex, the desktop app/agent harness and not the models.

A few observations:

1/ It’s great for long running tasks that involve a ton of context. With other models, I notice output degradation as the number of output tokens grows. Not the case with Codex.

2/ I no longer use ChatGPT desktop app. I instead use Codex for everything. I dumped ChatGPT for Claude a few months ago bc I couldn’t get over the style issues. Even with personalization, it always sounded like AI. Codex solves this, and now it’s my go to.

3/ There are so many good commands and features triggered by “$” and “/“ — you just gotta start exploring. For example, the /pet turns on a cute little codex avatar that lives on your desktop and updates you on the state of your agents.

4/ Codex is so good for generating and editing spreadsheets with complex models. Models that would take me days to create now take only a few mins. It’s bananas.

@ScottPatterson0 That’s awesome. I’m betting this means lawyers can do what they do best which is parse nuance within the law. They shouldnt have to do mundane tasks like collecting and synthesizing data.
