Yes!!! Such great news.

Apple has really gone to shit. I am confronted by Apple performance and bug pain every hour of my life. I always think: how can someone think this is acceptable? Steve Jobs wouldn’t.

Everything is such trash I could go on for hours.

I realized a long time ago that if the person at the top doesn’t care then no one will. It seems hard to believe but it makes sense when you consider individual incentives, politics, and the complexity of software. Everyone wants a safe promotion and doesn’t want to take the risk to push things forwards.

Apple Silicon seems great but the Intel MacBook was the worst piece of shit ever so they kind of had to. I have a 2019 that was the top of the line but can’t do anything without overheating. It’s barely usable for any second laptop tasks.

their software is not great but they literally make the best hardware on the planet right now. you don't get to being a 4 trillion dollar market cap by being trash. they must be doing something right.

Does FSR use less ram since it is upscaled? Same ram requirements as 1440p?

risho · 3 months ago

4k fsr uses less vram than native 4k but more vram than native 1440p

I can download at approximately 2.5 Gbps from Steam on my PC.

I think not having a 2.5 gigabit port at least is a poor choice.

risho · 3 months ago

there is almost no one who has multigigabit internet and even for people that do, you spend significantly less than 1 percent of your time on that device downloading. its a complete non issue. this device is a midrange at best pc, so having a gigabit connection is exactly where it should be. if you want to have the best of the best build a pc.

the 8gb vram is very concerning to me. it claims to be 4k ready and 8gb of vram is nowhere near enough for 4k gaming natively. they say that this is offset by using fsr upscaling, which is fine, but then you need whatever amount of vram that is necessary for running the game at 1440p or 1080p and then additional vram for the fsr. this will be fine for casual games or even AA games, but I can't imagine AAA gaming on this thing being anything less than a disaster. hopefully i'm proven wrong.

i dont think they could have possibly chosen a word to make me want to use it less than gamified.

when this project was first announced I was incredibly skeptical it would ever become something useful. then sometime last year they actually put out something that worked way better than i ever imagined and i became incredibly optimistic and hopeful. then hector, lina and alyssa all left and this project appears to be on life support.

(I work at Cursor)

1. Checkpoints/rollbacks are still a focus for us, albeit it's less used for those working with git. Could you share the bug you saw?

2. Autocomplete for prompts was something we were skeptical of as well, but found it really useful internally to save time completing filenames of open code files, or tabbing to automatically include a recently opened file into the context. Goal here is to save you keystrokes. It doesn't use an LLM to generate the autocomplete.

3. A lot of folks don't want to juggle three AI subscriptions for coding and have found the Cursor sub where they can use GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok models to be a nice balance. YMMV of course!

i really tried to use cursor and really wanted to like it but i constantly ran into this problem where the agent wasnt able to see what was happening in the terminal.

I agree, CC is much more polished regarding UX. I can't even scroll up in codex CLI, which is just a disaster IMO.

yes you can

There won't be an M4 Ultra as the chip was not designed with a fusion connector.

The Extreme versions were only rumors. But maybe Apple will finally make one with the M5 and release a proper Apple Silicon Mac Pro.

which is the same thing that people said about the m3

Claude Code is so much better than anything else.

If Claude Code was a car it'd be the ideal practical vehicle for all kinds of uses.

If OpenAI Codex was a car, it'd be a cauldron with wheels.

The reason I say this is CC offers so many features: plan mode, hooks, escape OR ctrl-c to interrupt it, and today added quick rewind. Meanwhile Codex can't even wrap text to the width of the terminal; you can't type to it while it's working to queue up messages to steer it (you have to interrupt with Ctrl-C then type), and it doesn't show you clearly when it's editing files or what edits it's making. It's the ultimate expression of OpenAI's "the agent knows what to do, silly human" plan for the future - and I'm not here for that. I want to steer my agent, and be able to have it show me its plan before it edits anything.

I really wish the developers of Codex spent more time using Claude Code.

codex has improved DRASTICALLY over the last 2 weeks. your claims about it were true in the past but far less true today. its still missing a little bit of polish compared to claude code, but i suspect it is much closer today than you realize. either way the lack of features of codex even in the past was never caused by hubris of openai knows better than you, it just hadn't implemented it yet. it is a brand new project that gets commits to the project every single day.
