    Well, when 5.5 first came out, it was kind of OK, but now it's almost noticeably worse. It can be done, but requires a lot of effort, just more and more round, and actually, the Ge…

    Mac mini Pro line is doomed, they never made enough of it; skipped M5 Pro, now skipping M6 Pro, it is like 2014-2018 again. Now ordering a custom M4 Pro build take 3 months+ to shi…

    GPT-5.5 must have serious issues; it is fast, but quality-wise, it is just not good. It read one LaTeX paper (which is not long) and can spell my name wrong. This is GPT-5.5-high.
