Corn syrup represents a derivative of a necessity for life and is not psychoactive. Either of these is sufficient to classify it completely differently from cannabis and break your analogy.

Inferencing is straight up hard. I’m not accusing them of anything. There’s a crap ton of variables that can go into running a local model. No one runs them at native FP8/FP16 because we cannot afford to. Sometimes llama cpp implementation has a bug (happens all the time). Sometimes the template is wrong. Sometimes the user forgot to expand the context length to above the 4096 default. Sometimes they use quantization that nerfs the model. You get the point. The biggest downside of local LLMs is that it’s hard to get right. It’s such a big problem, Kimi just rolled out a new tool so vendors can be qualified. Even on openrouter, one vendor can be half the “performance” of the other.
perhaps it's got to do with packaging sizes. i think an acetominophen od is much worse. most of these countries regulate package size for these drugs, yes? US does not
I've had awkward interactions with the Walmart system. It's clearly using a neural net, and a good one at that. It's only ever flagged me when I did something odd (like put something bagged and paid for in my cart, then take it out, then put it back again). I dress/groom like a thief, so the conversations with the staff are always annoying.
"Clothes make the man", as the idiom says. Clothes don't impugn your character, but they define you in the eyes of others.
Having been a long-haired holey jeans-wearing guy in my past, I was naively surprised when I cut my hair and noticed that people treated me very differently in business settings. When I started wearing nicer clothes on top of that, it was night and day - the kind of reception you get in banks, anything like that. It sucks that humans are built to judge and filter on appearances, but it's just the reality. You can use it to your advantage.
If you dress like your HN username indicates, then yeah, you're probably noticed by humans before you get into the store.
Ironically, some of the store security look exactly like you. They come in all shapes, sizes, grooming standards, styles, and tattoo levels. I've seen some in full-on Juggalo outfits and neck/face tattoos.
One of the AP (asset protection) guys at my local store always wore an eyepatch and a t-shirt reading "A bullet a day keeps the terrorists away". He did NOT look like a typical grocery store employee, and I'm sure that was intentional.
my friends have been heating their apartments in the winter mining cryptocurrencies. they're not into crypto, in that they don't do it in the summer, it just helps offset the cost in rentals without heat pumps -- gamers who've already purchased the gpus
My experience is very different than yours. Codex and CC yield very differenty result both because of the harness differencess and the model differences, but niether is noticeably better than the other.
Personally, I like Codex better just because I don't have to mess with any sort of planning mode. If I imply that it shouldn't change code yet, it doesn't. CC is too impatient to get started.
I guess yes, that's a harness difference, and you can also configure CC as a harness to behave very differently, but still with same harness and guidance, "to me" there's still a difference in terms of Opus 4.6 and e.g. GPT 5.4 or which GPT model do you use? I've been using Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode as harnesses presently, but for serious long running implementation I feel like I can only really rely on CC + Opus 4.6.
I come from Cursor before having adopted the TUI tools. Opus was nothing short of pathetic in their environment compared to the -codex models. I would only use it for investigations and planning because it was faster.
Like you've said, though, that could just be a harness issue.
I have the opposite experience. Codex gets to work much faster than Claude Code. Also I've never seen the need to use planning mode for Claude. If it thinks it needs a plan it will make one automatically.
