My running goals for 2026: 1. State age group record in 10 mile on March 7th. 2. Qualify for Boston March 15th 3. get back under 140 pounds by summer, 130 by fall 4. 5k - sub 18 5. 10k - sub 37 6. Half (this one is crazy i know - but aim high fail high!) - sub 1:20 7. This should be one - but get my peak mileage weeks up to 85 (from 75) this year and no hero workouts that lead to injury. 8. ENJOY THE PROCESS! What are yours?

The physical therapist actually told me NOT to stretch right now. He is afraid I could tear or detach my tendon and indicated the severity of the tendinitis is 10 out of 10 right now. On one hand, I'm relieved in a way to know that it wasn't just in my head. On the other it is frustrating. So lot's of gym sessions, PT sessions and reduction in intensity in my schedule for the next 6 weeks.

When?
We’ll reset usage limits for all paid users across codex and ChatGPT work!

this is one agent working on one thread in Codex on Max, standard speed with zero subagents. As usual, it just churned the entire usage cycle producing nothing meaningful.

When?
o yes… we’re back in action and we’ll reset usage limits for all paid users across codex and ChatGPT work sorry about the brief disruption! (and yes we have a special spare codex when things are down to help us out)

Codex is down:

I measure AI in terms of completed tasks, in production. Since the Opus 4.8 era that has come screaming to a halt as models think and churn endlessly but do not produce working production features. Anyone else notice that models have seemingly been tuned for token churn?

I'm a bit disillusioned at this point. Opus is easy to manage and stayed on task, but after two days the result wasn't usable. I'm going to see what iterating for the next few usage cycles can produce.

Well, after 2 days of working around the clock on the long horizon task with Opus 5.5 the result is not good. Hopefully it can be salvaged.

The fact is natural born US taxpayers have zero representation by either side of the uni party. We have voted for fiscal responsibility and quality of life issues since I could begin voting 40 years ago. Regardless of the party, we kept spending out of control, devalued our currency, and destroyed our middle class. Whether ylu choose to stick your head in the sand and scream communism or nazi, or whatever the rally word being planted in media is todat or not, it doesn't refute the absolute facts. So enjoy your echo chamber
I am muting and unfollowing black-pilled losers left and right. Anyone who tells you that voting won’t help or isn’t important is NOT on the side of America. November matters. Every vote is 1 vote closer to either saving the republic or falling to communism.

Would someone ban Congress spending any more on debt?
The leading experts are clear: AI is rapidly escaping our control. Congress must act NOW. Today I’m introducing legislation to permanently ban artificial superintelligence and pause advanced AI until clear safety rules are in place.

OAI had a reset and released new models today. Grok 4.7 came out. All anyone is talking about (or using) is Opus 5.5 that had almost zero fanfare AND a banked reset! Who won this round?

I have been upset with Anthropic for quite some time. The models with the intelligence I needed at my usage so quickly, I could only plan on a full day per week working with the company, then had to have fallbacks and that was even routing most of the adversarial reviews to GLM 5.3 Flash. It's too early to call, but it is appearing like Opus 5.5 may have solved that with very high capability and long usage.

Meanwhile real trucker getting paid less than it takes to survive by a multi billion dollar company whining about their profits.
A trucker strike is an idiotic idea that would cause suffering for the American people Especially right before the midterms and the holidays I said what I said I stand by my post

Maybe you should take the time to study the wisdom they passed down when after 50,60,70,80 years of voting they realized the only thing changing was the names on the seats and issues we they to affect keep marching along. Our debt went from a handful of billions to over 40 trillion in the thirty plus years I've been voting. Collectively pit nation has voted for candidates promising fiscal responsibility almost every cycle as it keeps accelerating. We dont want wars. We do not want discretionary spending while we are in debt. We do not want lobbyist and foreign powers having more influence than voters. Yet these thi is accelerated regardless of how votes went. Now they will not even secure our federal elections for citizens only. So go smoke your condescension and ponder why we understand our vote has no consequences before you come chanting juvenile bullshit chastising us.
I'm seeing A LOT of these posts: "I'm 50, 60, 70, 80 years old. I've voted Republican all my life, and this current Congress has done nothing for Americans, so I'M SITTING THIS ONE OUT." Okay. When you mention your age, do you ever stop and think about what that age is supposed to represent? You're not a teenager anymore. You're not 21 and figuring out how the world works. You're 50. 60. 61. 62. At some point, AGE is supposed to come with WISDOM. Have you taken the time to understand how your government actually works? What the President controls? What Congress controls? What the House can do? What the Senate can do? How many votes legislation requires? What the courts can stop? What individual members of Congress can and CANNOT accomplish? Or do you just look around, get angry that everything you wanted hasn't happened fast enough and decide: "SCREW IT. I'M STAYING HOME." And then announce it publicly like you've just revealed some profound political strategy. Have you ever stopped and thought: "Maybe this post is dumb?" Seriously. Because when you're 60, 70 or 80 years old, you carry another responsibility. There are younger Americans watching you. Your children. Your grandchildren. People in your church. People in your community. People who haven't lived through what you've lived through. YOU are supposed to be transferring knowledge to THEM. You're supposed to be able to explain what worked. What failed. What mistakes your generation made. How government actually functions. How political power is gained. How political power is lost. And how younger generations can make BETTER decisions than your generation did. Instead, some of you are basically saying: "I've been participating in this system for 40 or 50 years. I didn't get everything I wanted, so now I'm taking my ball and going home." WHAT? 😂 You're allowed to be angry. You're allowed to be disappointed. You're allowed to criticize Congress. You're allowed to criticize Republicans. You're allowed to demand MORE from the people you elected. In fact, YOU SHOULD. But frustration is not a substitute for understanding how the system works. If you're going to announce your age as evidence that you've seen enough to know better... THEN KNOW BETTER. You're 50, 60, 70 or 80 years old. You've lived through Presidents. Recessions. Wars. Inflation. Political scandals. Booms. Crashes. Republican governments. Democratic governments. Decades of American history. That experience should produce WISDOM. And wisdom should be passed DOWN. Not wasted. The younger generation already has TikTok, algorithms, influencers, propaganda, AI-generated garbage and 30-second clips trying to teach them how the world works. They need grandparents and parents who actually understand the system. So before posting: "I'M SITTING THIS ONE OUT." Maybe sit down first. Think. Read. Understand the consequences of participating AND not participating. Then make your decision. You're the elder generation. ACT LIKE IT. AJ Inapi

Since CNN is suing for access to the White House press pool and recent actions eliminating some organizations have stirred debate, I am building quick study on reporting bias to see if it exists. I chose a topic that is political - crimes committed by illegal immigrants vs actions against illegal immigrants by federal authorities. I'm making this cover both the last administration and this one. I'll report raw numbers, provide citations and then tally coverage by the organizations losing their credentials. If it seems to be significant, I'll expand this to other topics and then create a story bias filter. When done, I'll post it here along with all sources. Anyone care to venture what may be found?

This is true of our nations governance as well:
America’s corporate governance system is broken, and it’s killing public companies. Look no further than Cracker Barrel: Decades of brutal mismanagement have seen one incompetent CEO after another walk away with a massive paycheck while customers and actual shareholders take a beating. Why does this keep happening? Because proxy advisory firms like ISS are corrupt. They blindly rubber-stamp failing boards year after year, protecting the corporate elite while burning shareholder value to the ground. The root of the rot is index funds. There's no question that indexing one's money is a smart financial move for most people. But just because you passively index your investments doesn't mean your corporate votes should be handed over to the managers of your fund so they can play politics. Right now, passive funds hold massive, unchecked voting blocks while having zero skin in the game themselves. It is time for a simple rewrite of the rules: We need to index the votes of index fund investors. Passive index funds should be forced to automatically split their votes to proportionately mirror those of retail and active institutional shareholders — the people actually doing the research, risking their capital, and fighting for performance in the companies they hold shares in. No more rubber-stamping. A change like this will immediately strip corrupt gatekeepers like ISS of their toxic influence. True accountability happens when lazy, overpaid boards actually answer to the stakeholders they represent, rather than screwing them over. Actual, logic-driven governance when your money is passive happens when your vote passively follows the voting decisions of the actual market. We need to stop letting passive capital protect active incompetence. By stripping index funds of their arbitrary voting power and empowering engaged investors, we will finally torch corporate cronyism and usher American capital markets into a golden age of capitalism.
