Codex CLI 0.128.0 adds /goal

The latest version of OpenAI's Codex CLI coding agent adds their own version of the Ralph loop: you can now set a /goal and Codex will keep on looping until it evaluates that the goal has been completed... or the configured token budget has been exhausted.

It looks like the feature is mainly implemented though the goals/continuation.md and goals/budget_limit.md prompts, which are automatically injected at the end of a turn.

Our evaluation of OpenAI's GPT-5.5 cyber capabilities

The UK's AI Security Institute previously evaluated Claude Mythos: now they've evaluated GPT-5.5 for finding security vulnerability and found it to be comparable to Mythos, but unlike Mythos it's generally available right now.

Makes sense. In fact, FeedCity only uses the images and/or icons specified directly with the feed.

Eventually I should probably fetch the icons from the website as a fallback. But c’mon: just include the icons directly in the feeds, please.

In NetNewsWire 7.0.5 we made a change to get the feed image from RSS via the image element.

In case anyone else likes to follow updates from the speakers at Beyond Tellerrand conference 2026, I made my list on FeedCity public.

Unfortunately, only a few speakers have a feed. But better few than no one.

It's a common misconception that we can't tell who is using LLM and who is not. I'm sure we didn't catch 100% of LLM-assisted PRs over the past few months, but the kind of mistakes humans make are fundamentally different than LLM hallucinations, making them easy to spot. Furthermore, people who come from the world of agentic coding have a certain digital smell that is not obvious to them but is obvious to those who abstain. It's like when a smoker walks into the room, everybody who doesn't smoke instantly knows it.

I'm not telling you not to smoke, but I am telling you not to smoke in my house.

We need RSS for sharing abundant vibe-coded apps

Matt Webb:

I would love an RSS web feed for all those various tools and apps pages, each item with an “Install” button. (But install to where?)

The lesson here is that when vibe-coding accelerates app development, apps become more personal, more situated, and more frequent. Shipping a tool or a micro-app is less like launching a website and more like posting on a blog.

This inspired me to have Claude add an Atom feed (and icon) to my /elsewhere/tools/ page, which itself is populated by content from my tools.simonwillison.net site.
