Yeah... we took raw elements from the earth, struck them with bits of lightning, and now they think for us. That in itself is pretty amazing.

And yet...

The people I know with radiant, flawless skin all use Asian-style skincare with a meticulous nightly regime of like 10 syrups, oils, and unguents.

Everyone I've ever met who says that people shouldn't use shampoo/lotion/face wash because it makes the body stop producing oils has been NOT as attractive - putting it kindly.

if they stop the skincare routine, it will take years to recover to baseline

The CEO went to harvard and did well in some math competitions. Believe it or not, alot of fundraising isnt much deeper than this

Drinking water? The body will get more and more thirsty!

Taking vitamin supplements because the modern diet doesn’t provide all the nutrients your body needs? The body will start demanding more vitamins!!

I'm a strong believer in the "no free lunch principle"

Through a lifetime of experiences with different substances, the body always adjusts to whatever you're taking. Taking a stimulant? the brain will down regulate dopamine receptors. Putting lotion on your face? The skin will produce less oils.

There is always a downside

Rather than excess in one area, we should strive for perfect balance.

How are you using GPT5 for coding (Cursor?)
mikert89 · 14 days ago
I use repo prompt to build the prompt manually with the code files. Then give it to ChatGPT in the console. Then I have cursor ingrate the results.

I actually think cursor alone is not that good

Similar usage as me, but I don't see a difference between o3-pro and 5-pro. Sounds odd, but my impression is that o1-pro was better at creating complex independent small functions than o3-pro/5-pro.
mikert89 · 14 days ago
Actually will agree that o1 pro was better than o3 at really deep bug finding/coding analysis. Which is also why i have the theory that they could just turn up the compute to show better results, but dont do to cost. O3 and GPT5 seem heavily quantized, o1 pro was more raw

Another thing I’ll add though, is o3 pro is better through the api than the chat website. They clearly constrain it unless you’re paying the absurd api cost
