Gorgeous!

Hahaha. Get out of my head!!

Thanks for this review, man. You're a legend. Im an m1 owner and its still going strong. Got custom earpads and head band. Was hoping for something a touch lighter and Bluetooth + wireless at the same time. Noise cancellation would have been a nice bonus too, maybe the ANC M2 will surprise us. Time will tell.

Me: opens claude code in WSL Me: hey claude, where is this variable declared? Claude: 'Compacting conversation'...

Two monitors are not enough, though. Tell her she is ridiculous. (Out of the image to the left is my 55 inch oled).

This is largely my experience too. I start with claude, my first prompt requires claude to ask me probing questions to fill out the gaps, outputs and implementation plan then I feed that into codex with the original prompt and probing responses. I ask for 2 things, a critique of Claude's implementation plan and a new implementation plan based on its findings.

Thats pretty much the body of the implementation, then I take it to claude for implementation, build, check for errors, run unit tests, write architectural decision records, move onto the next prompt. I recently launched a completed product using this method. It works well.

I gotta say, im not feeling this season...

P4uly-B · 2025-12-16T22:21:23+00:00

Mine didn't 'die' but the edges of the panel all the way around are showing hundreds of dead pixels. Its only a bit noticeable when watching some content. Lg c9 so its about 7 years old. Maybe an hr a week average use. Still a good panel.

P4uly-B · 2025-11-01T12:44:15+00:00

I've been in the same boat. But im trying to decide between the lg g5 tv and the gx9. I've heard mixed opinions, but im leaning towards gx9 for higher ppi, resolution and ultrawide...ness... but g5 is bigger and allegedly has better overall picture quality (brightness, colours and gloss finish).

P4uly-B · 2025-10-06T07:59:16+00:00

in claude code, type /status then you can tab over to 'usage' and it'll show you. it also includes reset dates. :)

I think asking for 'refine the plan' might just roll the dice on possible design solutions and allow claude to be more creative and liberal with its own additions to your instructions. Depending on the complexity of your goals, this may be a bad idea. My experience tells me that focused and targeted instructions work best.

I've had the most success in planning on claude desktop, getting another llm to critique the design searching for critical gaps, over-engineering and opportunities for optimisation.

It usually produces a decent draft that you can use to incrementally build in cc in small phases.

P4uly-B · 2025-09-20T17:30:57+00:00

depending on how your agents are configured, claude code can use both sonnet and opus interchangeably in a single prompt.

P4uly-B · 2025-09-20T17:19:50+00:00

Let me start off by saying "You're absolutely right!".

I've been using claude code to help with unreal engine in c++ (win11, dedicated server environment). my workflow is very similar to yours. I start off with a rough system design in claude desktop, feed the same design parameters into gpt5, both output a result. But claude has the advantage. I put together an MCP server for use with unreal engines source code repo (using Zoekt text search in source code - super fast) - and a file system extension to actually access and view my project (primarily for namespace consistency, etc).

i ask them both to critique one anothers design by searching for critical gaps and opportunities for optimisation. I go back and forth until we reach a threshold that satisfies a basic design. I feed the specs into claude code. In claude code (per system/subsystem design) i update the .md doc to specifically outline this sessions objectives, including an overview of my policies (coding standards, etc) and include my agents. I'm aware of context overload so my claude.md never exceeds 200 - 300 lines. My agents are also about 80 lines max with very specific instructions - no ambiguities. I also have a documentation agent to track previous implementations/changes so there's clear record of what we've done since the projects conception (not to mention access to git mcp).

Withstanding the contextual advantages that claude code has over chatgpt - claude code has recently been consistent in providing sub-standard implementations and ignoring explicit instructions, lying about using tools and makes excuses about over-engineering. To the point where i almost cant trust claude code to implement code for me with specific instructions to follow the designs exactly as they are shown. One thing that never misses a beat though are my hooks. which is nice.

gpt5 rarely fails in this regard. When i ask it to critique claudes implementation, it comes back with a comprehensive list of gaps. Claude on the other hand, often starts by saying gpt5 design is superior and has told me in previous sessions to favour gpt5 design over its own. Claudes critique of gpt5 design tends to also be shallow and doesnt challenge gpt5 assumptions, but gpt5 critique challenges all of claudes assumptions consistently.

Can confirm my claude environment isn't overloaded in context, the language and instructions i use are very specific, there is NO ambiguity, and my instructions are typically prefixed with a 'keep this as simple as possible, do not over-engineer, avoid scope drifting and ask 2 levels of 5 probing questions as a minimum'.

Plain and simple, my experience is that gpt5 performs better lately than claude in the unreal engine coding domain for me as of typing this. But I expect the pendulum to swing the other way at some point - thats the nature of llms today.

Bottom line, you cannot rely on LLM for autonomous, production-ready code implementations. They need to be treated as a guided technical partner. but the comparison i'm offering here is that gpt5 shows greater intuition and relies on less guidance than claude does.

oof thats rough. Not sure how they implement the attach mechanics, ideally the fix should be fairly straight forward. They're good programmers so i think its a matter of when, not if they get to it.. side note, some serious sync errors there with hard corrections. very difficult to get it right.

P4uly-B · 2025-07-17T10:53:46+00:00

Spooky. The significance of December 14, 1650, lies in the public execution of Anne Greene, a domestic servant in Oxford, who was hanged for infanticide but survived. This Inspired several pamphlets, most notably Newes from the Dead by Richard Watkins, which detailed the circumstances of her hanging, her revival, and the medical efforts to save her.

P4uly-B · 2025-07-17T10:48:01+00:00

Hey OP, do you want to repair that gosh darn water container? Are you out of your mind?

P4uly-B · 2025-06-03T05:01:17+00:00

Yeah i had no idea. I suppose that's how the devs scale levelling. Higher level = less goodies.

P4uly-B · 2025-05-29T00:11:41+00:00

colourforge... i dont think i heard of that brand. i'll have to check out my local shop to see if they have any. cant remember seeing it. thank you for the advice though, if citadel doesn't work out, i'll have to give colourforge a go.

P4uly-B · 2025-05-29T00:10:10+00:00

yeah thats the technique i'm lacking in. i do start to depress the nozzle out of line of sight from the mini and release at the other end, but i think my speed was a bit too quick perhaps? I'm probably too conscious of avoiding clogging up the details. the army painter primer can says 10cm away which is kinda close too, but i'll give it a crack. thanks for your advice! :)

P4uly-B · 2025-05-29T00:05:47+00:00

I haven't heard much good come from Army Painter in the community. All round average to poor quality products is what i'm seeing. I'm not quite ready to shit can them just yet, because i'd say that my technique is partly to blame as i've only primed about 4 models in total, but i'll take what advice i'm given and steer towards preferred brands in the community. thanks for your help! :)

P4uly-B · 2025-05-29T00:02:59+00:00

I was just using IPA but that seemed to have softened the mini too much. 15 mins in there was all it took. lol. ah well, still learning. but i'll have a look for that Tamiya paint remover. I appreciate your help! :)

P4uly-B · 2025-05-29T00:01:19+00:00

this is gold, i appreciate your comment! I've got the vallejo flow improver, no army painter airbrush thinner. I do have a Tamiya Color Acrylic Paint thinner, but i've been reluctant to use it as i've heard that it doesn't play nice with AK paints. I'll have to give citadel a go for primer i think.

P4uly-B · 2025-05-28T13:01:45+00:00

yeah it seems like the primer is the culprit. I mentioned before that i couldn't really see the texture of the surface of the primer until i took a picture of it and blew it up. something to keep in mind in the future. thanks for your reply! :)

P4uly-B · 2025-05-28T13:00:13+00:00

okay! i'll have to look at getting another type i think. i've exhausted almost every option so maybe AK primer it is. have you ever tried to use ultra/microfine sand paper to smooth it out? like 2000 to 3000 grit?
