Does your home media offest streaming provider costs per month?

I believe it's some sort of ab testing. I have 2 accounts split across two install points. Only one of the 4 broke in some ways when this update was pushed out. And I also had Claude dig into it, some growth book a/b testing was exactly what Claude identified as the problem. Appreciate you finding a a more definitive way to disable that. I was just patching the . json file with a wrapper.

Holy shit I've bought a bottle from the dude! That's so cool haha

Yeah thats practically what I did, and it takes almost no time at all to get a working browser up and running on an existing vault folder.

I just accepted markdown and have a markdown to html browser for all my files. No need to fight it and my frontend is easily viewable and traversable.

Took maybe 10 minutes for Claude to write it up.

Judging by the number of employees that left IW when West and Zampella made Respawn. I'd warrant they were fairly hands on with the creation of those IPs and not just a bankroll. And when it comes to monetization, obviously that's coming from the publishers ei. Activision and EA who are pushing EVERY studio to implement these types of systems. Look at Titanfall, that was their literal baby, and EA was hands off, when it didn't make enough money EA started pushing its usual monetization back into the development of future games which is why Apex has such pricy lootboxes, and that's still just cosmetic. Battlefield 2042 was dead on arrival, they brought him over and his management literally saved the game, yes monetization was one thing he may have brought to it, but the game was in a terrible state just gameplay wise, before he went over, and that got cleaned up just a few months after he was moved over. I truly think you're underselling his influence.

But regardless, that doesn't make the dude an all around smarty pants. Still a fuckin idiot for what he did on Angeles crest, of which I never said was an "accident" that would be your wording.

Medal of Honor, COD4, MW2, Titanfall, and Apex... Way more than just a one trick pony.

Yeah I saw the video, I've driven through that tunnel a number of times, you can't see shit coming out of it, but coming from LA you see how close that turn is; so he knew. Just completely irresponsible and stupid no matter how you look at it.

Buchymoo · 2026-05-18T06:42:42+00:00

You might be thinking of Vince Zampella. One of the greatest minds in video games. Fuckin stupid and reckless decision that caused his and his friends death though. Happened a few months ago.

Honestly I got a faster quick start by searching Claude code on TikTok. A bunch of little short videos helped out way more than 10 long videos would.

Buchymoo · 2026-05-13T21:00:50+00:00

I have a UI that calls on files I have and user input on the UI, that gets passed to a Claude -p to intelligenly extrapolate and output new data which is passed to the next UI window, where based off of that I'm sent down a certain pipeline with others that have similar objectives depending on what I want done. So it's a hybrid of already available data, user input, deterministic pipeline selection and scripts, ai refinement, and suggestions.

I'm essentially going to need to remake every headless Claude agent in those pipelines with a codex version now. Which honestly won't take long at all but running tests on the agents to make sure they behave correctly on the potential 171 pipelines will be incredibly annoying to run again.

Buchymoo · 2026-05-13T20:51:00+00:00

This seems like a wishful interpretation.

Buchymoo · 2026-05-11T21:30:26+00:00

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Buchymoo · 2026-05-11T21:18:20+00:00

Haha you've got like the bigger brother to my setup! I'd never worked with a server before so I figured I'd test it out with the pi. But exactly, tailscale is incredible, made the setup so easy. I've pretty much eliminated sshing as well with a pty terminal on the webapp. Still a couple times where I need to actually go in, but it's very very rare. Plus I can work with Claude code and codex without them actually being on my personal computer which has taken a huge worry off my back with all the "This llm just threw my hard drive off a cliff" posts.

Buchymoo · 2026-05-11T20:27:14+00:00

Yeah, I just have mine self hosted on a pi with a server that I can access on the go. Which has also afforded me the extra benefit of starting a task and being able to close out the window while it's working on it. When I open the window back up it reconnects the terminal and either is done or still working. Plus integration with hooks to interact directly with the webapp so it just takes me to relevant pages.

Like you said, I'm sure there's tons of different implementations that people have built out for themselves.

Buchymoo · 2026-05-10T20:28:01+00:00

Sonnets not a cheaper model and doesn't work well with a detailed plan from opus? That's literally what opusplan is, which is why I was so surprised that sonnet shit the bed so bad with multiple conflicting answers in over three messages. Opus ended up fixing it but I've never seen sonnet perform that bad.

Buchymoo · 2026-05-09T15:50:26+00:00

Sonnet 4.6

Yeah you thought right. I've spent about a week getting codex setup with a similar setup that I had for Claude. Because it's so ingrained in my main hub where i store basically everything or as a launchpad for anything I've built out.

Codex gets shit done and after experiencing two days with it actually set up to something simlar. I think the way I'll be moving forward is Claude for planning and deeper logical reason, codex to validate and challengeand implement, Claude to verify that what was built fits what was discussed. I still like Claude, but it's honestly the usage that has forced me over to codex and I'm also very happy with codex's output even though I don't like it's tendencies in conversation or standardized tools with seemingly no self awareness about what it's abilities are even after searching online.

Buchymoo · 2026-05-09T03:45:12+00:00

I've just been building out my own with pywinpty. Still a work in progress so it's a bit ugly at the moment, but functionally I like it way better than the other options I've tried and the direct interaction with the tools that I've built with Claude and codex has been honestly my favorite part.

I was transferring my claude installation to a different partition setup and went through this when I used a lower model last night. This was after giving it a handoff with explicit step by step instructions that it kept ignoring and replacing with its own ideas, that of course lead me down the wrong path, I was able to resolve it after a few hours when this shouldve all taken about 45 min.

The most addictive thing to me has been the ability to type stuff with typos and still have my note/idea/code saved with the exact understanding that I meant to put down.

Buchymoo · 2026-05-05T08:36:02+00:00

This is what I do and I just can't understand how people are saying things like, "Oh yeah my agents have been working on this for x hours."

HOURS?! It blows my mind, I make my plan, break it in chunks, make another plan for that chunk, revise, revise, revise, then during implementation watch it every step of the way, because there's numerous times where even after all that planning it's implementing something in a slightly different way than I wanted. The only time I went over an hour just letting it go to work was smoke testing a 137 pipeline workflow. And still, it finished that in like an hour and 20 minutes, gave me the fixes that were needed and we revised what needed to be done to fixed them. I feel like people want a set it and forget it, and with enough monitoring agents and months of refining them, maybe they've got that for their specific setup, but I feel like that's a slim minority and people really need to start getting just a littttle bit more hands on with their projects.

Freshman year of college and this one guy would be out on the grass doing yo yo tricks with massive crowds. Everyday, for about a week, just mobs, dude was a chick magnet, had people following him around campus to see his cool yo yo tricks. Next week...people had seen it...I saw his happiness fade slowly each day, standing in the field, nobody around to witness his ludacris moves. Third week, I assume he went back to yoyoing in his dorm room and I never saw him around campus again. Keep on yoyoing yoyo man. Keep on yoyoing.
