fwiw, I think that turning Codex into ChatGPT Desktop is a generational fumble
you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon. your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle. every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc. I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization. If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.
Codex team is in a warroom on a Sunday combing through logs and checking whether there is anything that could lead to increased usage drains for some users. Taking it very seriously and won't rest until we get to the bottom of it.
If this works, I'm treating myself to a volcano lair. It's time.
Rsync developer started using claude :)
If C wants to survive for 50 more years without becoming niche like COBOL or Fortran, the standard committee must offer semantic-aware, type-safe features that act as an alternative to the preprocessor. And nuke the preprocessor afterwards.
brilliant
