Tell HN: OpenAI silently removed Study Mode from ChatGPT
Before this Sora, and before that large government contracts. I don’t think they care so much for the random consumer anymore. They use anything and everyone for PR but they get closer to IPO they are focusing what actually might make them profitable. TL;DR: bet on stuff being removed
Pro Max 5x Quota Exhausted in 1.5 Hours Despite Moderate Usage
Preflight Checklist What’s Wrong? Summary On a Pro Max 5x (Opus) plan, quota resets at a fixed interval. After reset, with moderate usage (mostly Q&A, light development), quota was exhausted within 1.5 hours. Prior to reset, 5 hours of heavy development (multi-file implementation, graphify pipeline, multi-agent spawns) consumed the previous quota window— but that was […]

Bring Back Idiomatic Design
I’m part of the desktop software generation. From Windows 95 to Windows 7, I grew using mostly-offline software on computers operated via mouse and keyboard, well before tablets and smartphones. Recently, I’ve been missing one particular part of that era: its consistency in design. I want to tell you about idiomatic design, emphasize the importance […]
What have been the greatest intellectual achievements? (2017)
In yesterday’s post I briefly mentioned Claude Shannon, founder of information theory. It occurred to me that even most Oxford students wouldn’t know who he was, despite his work being crucial for the subsequent development of the ”Information Age”.

Over 100 rounds it analyzed its own failures, modified its own code, ran evaluations, and decided what to keep and what to revert. The result was a 30% performance improvement with nobody directing each step. That is […]
