I had a failed refactor with Codex recently and I am wondering if context window size is the cause.

For complex refactors, I use "max mode" in Cursor, which in my experience noticeably improves the AI's performance and makes it go for a lot longer before it starts to drift. I haven't looked into how it works exactly, but it works well if you don't mind the extra cost.

Half of USA voted for Trump. That should answer “who actually uses Grok”. I personally use the best tool for the job, which Grok sometimes is.

Trump received 77.3 million votes. Harris received 75 million votes. The US population is about 342 million.

I am not sure why these numbers would matter. He won, obviously, because the majority of voters voted for him.

Which are Americans, Americans who either voted for him and didn't do enough against him.

There is really no excuse to democratically vote for a person like this and let all this bullshit happen.

Does the internet move so fast that people have forgotten his Roman salute at the trump rally?

There’s a candidate with a literal Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest and not one democrat condemned him or demanded he drop out. Guess his party affiliation. So let’s just be clear that nobody is playing this fake outrage game anymore.

NOOOO! Having a nazi death head tattooed on your body is because he didn’t known what it was! How dare you

That proves he’s an edgy, drugged out jerk. Raising your hand in a certain way is not sufficient to be a nazi..

The guy spends most of his time signal-boosting deeply racist, antisemitic, white supremacist stuff on X. He's obsessed with stuff like "replacement theory" and constantly insists white people must make as many babies as possible to maintain their cultural superiority and avoid being outnumbered by other races. You don't have to believe me. Go check for yourself.

I do. You’re certainly right. I just don’t like reducing the entire political compass to “marxist/smth.” and “nazis”. That both devalues these words and and leaves out any nuance.

Guys like Trump or Putin are not nazis (yet). They do resemble Mussolini on various and often quite deep levels. So fascist would probably be the more correct term.

As for Musk I’m not sure. Drugs and whatever mental issues he’s suffering from likely are distorting the real picture (which might also be even darker).

Not defending anyone, but by that logic, you shouldn’t be using any Chinese models either.

At least the Chinese models are open source, so you don't need to send money to the Chinese government to use them (unlike Grok 4, where you need to send money to Elon Musk)

Why is that? Does Chinese company really equal Chinese government?

Basically yes. China doesn't have a democracy, and it's government isn't bound by it's laws. If CCP thinks deepseek or any other product/tech can be a beneficial to Chinese strategy they will come knocking, and there's no denying whatever they demand. It can be backdooring, data harvesting, etc, there's really no saying how far they might go.

So let’s focus on the specifics things he does and says. Instead of compressing everything into a single word (which unfortunately lost much of its meaning and has been massively devalued).

Nazism is a specific, relatively, defined and extremely dark ideology. If we apply it to every unhinged off brand pseudo-fascist it can really distort the views people might start having about the original ideology.
