@godlike It’s a machine to manipulate people. I miss the better days, too.

At this point I no longer know why I pay for Twitter.
- tonne of ads even on premium
- do not see what people I follow tweet
- people who follow me either do not see me or aren’t interested in what I have to say
- notifications and website/PWA broken for years
- slop and rage everywhere
- when I see comments from people I follow it’s rage reaction
- people now tweet in their own language but auto-translate often does not work for comments
- always see the same 200 ish accounts
- people post for interactions under their stuff, not to interact
Might once again have to reconsider how much time I want to waste here.

@godlike Just checked. The only two likes you got on your posts over the last 19 days were from me. You have nearly 1,000 followers.
English
Well, in the end it is about interaction. I don’t ask for a massive reach, but I expect to have the people I interact with regularly to be on my timeline, and vice versa - and not with two days delay, if ever. Sometimes I see posts only after even more days.
You are a good example, we interact quite regularly. Yet I rarely have your tweets in my timeline. Comments maybe from time to time.
Over the last days I had posts with three (3) views after an hour. Ridiculous, no?
I don’t want an algorithm to guess and tell me what I want yo see, and then show me always the same people I don’t even follow - just because they are either good at gaming the algorithm, or have a cult following.
Just isn’t it.

@nicksdot Had similar discussion with quite few people and have noticed the same - not even too worried if people don't see me, but I'm missing out on a lot of stuff accounts I follow post.
Some of them I thought were not even on the platform anymore, yet they are actively posting 🤷♂️

Interestingly I also super often want the exact opposite of what people have FOMO for.
When suddenly the whole world wanted to live in Bali I couldn’t leave fast enough. New iPhone? I am 3 versions behind. Event sold out? Nice, I don’t like them. VIP table in the bar or hotel restaurant? Sir, the dark corner over there is my vibe. Brand fashion? My 4 year old few $ shirt is very comfy. New sneaker? I just glued my shoes and can walk in it. Queuing to get in a restaurant? Next door looks empty, but thanks. Limited edition things? I am limited edition enough. Business class? Lmao, scam someone else. Need to book the ticket for the museum months in advance? I rather miss out.

For some reason I never FOMO. It is what it is, and okay that it is as it is. I really wouldn’t mind if I would be gone tomorrow. Cannot see how AI will change the world for the good? Fine. Miss an exciting future? Fine. Never again see the sun or listen to music? Fine.

@nicksdot release notes are product behavior in public. when the notes are clear, scoped and cumulative, it usually means the team has an internal workflow worth trusting too. messy notes often show the opposite before the product does
English
The Codex and Claude Code release notes are like day and night. They show nicely which team is better organised, follows best practices and actually has a strategy.
Show me your workflow, and I'll know the quality of your product.
This fact alone makes me much more bullish on Codex and OpenAI than on Claude and Anthropic. Glad I switched. Love Codex.

Feels like back in the day you bought those once, and used them forever. Today they break in no time. Bought two 14 months ago, first broke after 12 the other after 14 months. Uhm?

I cannot wait to see the great awakening unfolding.

@ReinierButot Are these ex-military and heavier weapon claims verified? If yes, why isn’t your own military getting involved?

Being old means waking up with a sports injury on your knee without doing anything.

@thsottiaux If this means I can /queue many tasks each with fresh context, yes.

Had that the other day on a menu.

Who are the best Elixir engineers in the world I should be following that are active on here?

Checked, was kinda a fresh chat. Only 15M tokens used. Compaction always runs automatically, at max. 258k window.
Generally, I cannot say that running a chat for a long time is an issue. When you stay on topic it can run for ages.
It actually only degrades when something unexpected happens. As in, it gets a lot of unrelated context from tool outputs that are not really related.
English
@nicksdot yes, the reason i ask about the context size is because iirc you have said you just leave it up to the agent to compact context and you just keep going in the same session as long as possible, no? that will probably eventually start doing weird stuff? i start many new sessions
English
@ReinierButot I have no idea why that happened. There was no foreign language content involved. All I did was pressing it to do better and then this happened.
The English it used was also weird.
