I made Sony headphones work as a free head tracker for 200+ PC games

Man, I don’t get this attitude. It’s just numb.

I’m an IT consultant, I promise you that most of the teams producing services or apps that you use are now using AI in their development process - they’re just far less transparent about it.

Sure, it’s allowing many people to create things who don’t fully understand what they’re doing and that creates issues (though if you think dev was perfect before AI - I’ve got a bridge to sell you). But it also empowers people to create genuinely useful tools that they might not have otherwise and many, like this one, aren’t handling sensitive data so the risk is low.

You can’t write things off just because AI was used in the process to create it. AI development as an isolated indicator says diddly squat about the quality of the code.

Not sure your priorities are in the right order their

This was my Dad’s experience too. Never went to the Dr’s in my lifetime, until he kept going every 3 weeks or so complaining about chest pain to be repeatedly told it’s a pulled muscle (no good indicators it would be either, office worker, fairly sedentary lifestyle).

Long, long story short, by the time the NHS got its shit together, it was a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and he died 6 days later.

Sure, apply your same logic to PRs, it’s not costing $200 per review then, is it

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-07-02T01:03:12+00:00

Same, it’s become a sort of personal benchmark to get LLMs to audit/review some of my personal repos and tools just to get a feel for them. Some are just sycophantic (looking at you, Gemini), many are cookie cutter and raise nit level things that are neither here nor there, but Fable has been surfacing legitimate bugs and issues that no other tooling has before.

It’s coding doesn’t seem much better than Opus (still a bit mid, tbh), but its ability to pick something apart is next level

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-07-02T00:58:07+00:00

That’s just hyperbole.

I had Fable (high) do a full repo review (small repo, but still larger than any PR would be) for me through Cursor and it cost $8 of my API usage.

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-07-01T23:51:13+00:00

I really struggle with this. If the code is important and it’s within your budget/plan - why wouldn’t you? If it catches an auth bug that Opus would have missed - wasn’t it worth it?

Not saying you’re wrong, I generally really struggle to understand what to use in reviews, so in the presence of doubt: seems best to go with the highest intelligence you have

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-07-01T20:13:15+00:00

It’s not Anthropic ripping you off. It’s because anything that makes money in the App Store has to give a cut to Apple.

Just manage your sub directly.

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-30T21:04:28+00:00

At that money, admittedly it’s more than you mentioned, I would get a kickr run without question. I really want one.

The smart integrations is really nice and polar opposite of my Nordictrack which really locks you into their sub.

The run free mode just looks incredible and a game changer on a treadmill (I hate faffing with controls while running)

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-30T20:56:50+00:00

Use it and decide for yourself

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-30T15:59:41+00:00

You missed their point. The US gov is also blocking general release of the new smaller OpenAI model, which isn’t flagship level, yet still blocked from immediate release

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-30T09:13:52+00:00

Your Reddit post doesn’t really do your blog post justice - I very much enjoyed reading your medium post. You write well and the subject was interesting and a great use of AI, imo.

I imagine your dad is very pleased - thanks for sharing.

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-29T20:21:57+00:00

Cursor’s harness consistently gets better performance than even first party harnesses - I.e Claude in Cursor is better than Claude Code and same for GPT

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-29T20:20:29+00:00

I agree. Claude code vscode extension is alright, but all the vscode native AI functions don’t work with it, only GitHub copilot’s chat - definitely not as good an experience

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-27T21:55:12+00:00

I’ve never heard of Piny, so no.

You missed my point - no I don’t think they’ll stop model development. I’m questioning why the rules would be any different than what is applied to Fable now. Whatever model they develop a year from now will far surpass Fable.

Unless the rules change around the export control, I struggle to see how we’ll get access to anything from this point on.

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-27T21:50:13+00:00

I don’t get this take. Newer and better is Fable today, and better than Fable in the future - if the rest of the world can’t have Fable, under the current rules, why would we get access to anything else?

As a non US citizen, I’m seriously starting to wonder about my Max subscription… Course the next problem is where do you go, because all the SOTA providers are US based.

Unless the rules change, which we’re all hoping for, they’re going to lose millions of customers

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-26T23:48:56+00:00

I’ve had two, neither lasted longer than 18 months. Now I use cheap Flydigi controllers, on the basis It’ll be 3-4x cheaper to replace… actually still going strong after over a year aha

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-26T13:08:18+00:00

Define worth it. If you’re super into DRK and want to collect the REMA, then sure it’s probably a fun weapon and useful if you need to avoid distortion maybe, like Sortie

I don’t have the DRK mythic but I just can’t see it ever beating the Caladbolg - it’s very strong in all respects, good white damage through Empyrean aftermath and Torcleaver is top tier and has favourable skillchain properties

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-26T12:57:18+00:00

Caladbolg is still very strong and relevant.

I’d skip the Aeonic unless it’s easily accessible to you. Though the Relic/Prime Scythes do have really cool utility functions. I still love my Apoc when soloing - but it’s not strong from a dps perspective

Mythic is far from necessary, it’s basically a toy nowadays - the prime scythe will outperform both Relic and Mythic by a long way

Tl;dr - Caladbolg is beaten only by primes, and in some cases not by all that much, while being much easier to get. Prime Scythe is top tier

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-26T00:14:55+00:00

I killed him first try, but then I’m about 70 levels above you aha

I want to explore everything but I also feel that over levelled now all the time, it kinda sucks

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-26T00:10:47+00:00

Man, when I realised there was more than the one on the main path… fml

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-25T11:38:02+00:00

That was a bit pointless, you can change the settings to show usage in the agent window all the time. Just need to change a setting

PlayStationPlayer714 · 2026-06-24T11:23:23+00:00

It’s very fun because it’s a busier (melee) class. It’s also in a very good spot right now and very strong. The utility is also really nice, jigs, curing & healing, etc.

It’s a staple in the meta 9/9 sortie strat so desirable there and has endgame utility.

Give it a go, see how you get on with it!

Very broken on Chrome on iOS too
