and if you want to learn Mandarin to improve your EV even further, use my app xitter.cf/coderdannn/status/2112…
If you're a middle aged, single, balding (optional), normal western white man, the single most +EV thing you can do for yourself in this decade is going to China. The odds are incredibly rigged in your favor compared to Chinese males. The gap won't last forever though.

Serious language learners: You've tried Duolingo but didn't want to feel infantilized You've tried Anki but didn't know where to begin You've tried Speak but progression is too slow If this has been your experience, I welcome you to try Smort! It's not perfect yet by any standard, but it's improving rapidly every day. Currently supports Spanish, English, Mandarin, and Japanese. Interested? Comment SMORT + the language you want to learn. iOS 26+ only.

Wow that was fast! Maybe there really is alpha in adding native iPhone Duo support Before i added support, my app was in the queue for 3d with no review After adding support (took <1d), it got reviewed twice, both within 36hrs of submitting thanks for the tip @RhysKentish
word on the street is that apple are prioritising app reviews that add duo support right now

7 years ago when i was building my first language learning app, I was worried that AI was going to disrupt the space and no one would want/need to learn foreign languages because AI made it unnecessary it's still early in the AI revolution so that day still may come but at least for now it's clear that demand for learning languages is still high and now it's possible to use AI to 10x the speed at which we learn/teach languages if you're interested in the intersection of AI and language learning, let's talk

Opus 5.5 knocked it out of the park, insane update not only the new video generation capabilities but CODING is nearly flawless and uses FAR fewer tokens than Astra or Sol i've been slamming Opus all week and only at 35% usage can't imagine what a monster Fable 5.5 will be

Opus 5.5 is undoing all of the overengineered bs that Astra and Sol added to my codebase nature is healing

China is leading the US in so many areas but it’s sad that they still don’t allow FSD, and iPhones bought in mainland don’t support Apple Intelligence this is a real and growing QoL gap and makes me bearish on China until they fix it (hopefully soon, still love this country!)

i don't know who needs to hear this but if you have multiple codex subs, make sure you burn through all of the resets on a single account first before moving on to the next one. don't be stupid like me and spread the reset usage out, it just screws up your entire reset time

.@thsottiaux it would be neat if we could "mute" a thread in Codex so we don't get notifications for it useful for threads running automations for those of us who have OCD and have to hit notification 0 on everything

I got tired of manually guessing which model was best for the job in Codex, or always choosing Sol 5.6 Max and wasting tokens, so I made a skill! Introducing "auto-dispatch" for Codex Invoke it with Sol 5.6 Max, tell it what to do, and then it will automatically route to the best model for the task and archive the initial thread. Works with /goal too! PRs welcome 🤝

I made a mini-app that compares pesticide and longevity for 69 fruits, vegetables, and beans. It uses 124,880 USDA + UK samples, EPA toxicity benchmarks, and Food Compass 2.0. Click a fruit to see more. pesticide-guide.vercel.app/ Take #1: The healthiest fruits/veggies have the most pesticides. Fuck. Take #2: Beans are superfoods.
I used to put blueberries in there Until a few weeks ago When I discovered that blueberries are some of the most pesticide contaminated things you can eat They have thin skin and are tiny so they're pesticide bombs The thicker the fruit the better I learnt: pineapple, papaya, mango, banana, cantaloupe or honeydew or water melon
