@car0linehaskins I sat on their plane for 5 hours before they cancelled the flight. Then they left me stranded with no alternative flights, forcing me to book new flights with another airline last minute. The only way to get a refund is taking them to court.

RIP to gpt-5.2 and gpt-5.3-codex (on a Codex subscription). Together with Opus 4.5 they kickstarted the agentic AI era for software development.

Giants.

it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.

We promised unprecedented transparency for Codex and to take the reports of degradation seriously, despite seeing incredible growth week over week.

Here is our report and what we have found over the last seven days

Multiple times per day now I have the feeling of "I cannot believe how amazing Claude is". But it doesn't make me feel *worried* for my job, it makes me feel *enabled*. I cannot believe how fast I can move now.

And it's not in the places you expect. Claude doesn't make me *much* faster on the work that I am an expert on. Maybe 15-20% depending on the day.

It's the work that I don't know how to do and would have to research. Or the grunge work I don't even want to do. On this it is hard to even put a number on. Many of the projects I do with Claude day to day I just wouldn't have done at all pre-Claude.

Infinity% improvement in productivity on those.

Tomorrow I’m doing a charity challenge to hike, bike, and kayak for 12 hours around the Old Man Coniston in the Lake District.

If you want to support my noodle legs please donate to help BRACE dementia research.

Protesting the building of an EV battery factory to save a monoculture tree farm has to be funded by big oil? I can’t get my head around it.

@eddielee6 I’m not pedalling uphill without assistance like an animal

[Weiran Zhang @weiran]

Nothing worse than getting up early for a bike ride and finding out the battery hasn’t charged overnight.
