Curious, which model do you use for Codex?
I'm very happy with the solutions '5.5 high' finds. It's like it understands exactly what I mean and it also anticipates all sorts of situations.
Before I used '5.5 medium' for some time and it was a bit underwhelming. It may sound funny but it's like it didn't care that much to do a good job.
I'm also unemployed. So far the models that I've used the most are Kimi and GLM. I haven't done that much agentic coding though, I've mostly used them for studying math and general conversations and I'm generally happy with their performance.
I thought it was determined (slight pun) that free will is not a thing. I'm referring to Sapolsky's book "Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will)" as an example.
I'm mostly the same, I don't watch movies twice. But there are exceptions. Some movies are just beautiful or I like how they make me feel, so I want to rewatch them. Groundhog Day is an example.
How I interpret his comment about the distance:
The benefit of switching from C/C++ to Rust is higher than switching from C++ to Go (in the similar use-cases) or from Java to Kotlin.
Another argument offered for Rust is that it's high-level enough that you can also use it for the web (see how many web frameworks it has). So I think that Rust's proponents see it as this universal language that could be good for everything.
I would never expect a Western European country to not accept Visa and Mastercard. I say this as an Eastern European. But I do remember that in Germany (and Austria) it's not that accepted to pay by card.
I wasn't sure how encipher is in Romanian (it's not common), it's "a cifra". The infinitive in Romanian puts "a" in front of the verb, so it's very close to Spanish.
