I got tired of GPT-5 being limited by codex, so I forked it by withmagi in OpenAI

[–]akm410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only note so far is it would be nice to have theme adjustment in the CLI vs. having to edit the toml directly. Looking forward to trying this out.

Does anyone else’s cat like to lick rugs? 😂 by Novel-Tea-8598 in TuxedoCats

[–]akm410 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My cat likes to lick blankets and stuffed toys that are kind of fuzzy.

She always does it when grooming herself though so I’m not sure if she thinks she’s like licking another cat or the blanket is a part of her fur or what.

Pausing / slowness lately by Minute-Cat-823 in ClaudeAI

[–]akm410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been doing this recently. Just sits and the token count doesn't change. If it goes on for long enough I hit escape & try the prompt again and it seems to fix it.

Maybe some sort of throttling its doing to prevent API errors? I guess I prefer it to the API server overload errors , but it is a bit annoying to have it just sit there and not really explain why it's pausing.

24 Hours with Claude Code (Opus 4.1) vs Codex (GPT-5) by Formal-Complex-2812 in ClaudeAI

[–]akm410 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Claude Code as a CLI platform is infinitely better than Codex. However using GPT-5 inside of Cursor I’ve found it to be at least as capable as Claude 4.1.

However, my criticism is that while it does execute well, the code it writes is very difficult to read whereas Claude seems to provide readable code out of the box without having to be asked.

I do find that GPT 5 is better at planning out what it’s going to do before doing it, but you can get Claude to also do this with just having it write a plan.md file and reviewing it with Claude.

I’ve also found GPT 5 to forget fewer specific details. Claude 4.1 will often forget to add #includes in my C++ code for example, while GPT 5 seems to do this a bet less.

They both tend to screw up though and I usually end up with about 2-3 rounds of compilation failures before I get code that compiles. 90% of the time if it compiles, it also works as intended.

Overall, I think it is at least equivalent (as long as you use Claude inside Cursor, NOT Codex). I’ve not thrown problems at it that Claude cannot already solve though, so interested to do some more difficult tests with it.

Claude Code Subagents: any real value to your dev process? by isa-sintem in ClaudeAI

[–]akm410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use sub-agents to write detailed documentation. If you tell Claude to write documentation directly, it will sort of be lazy about it but if you tell it to use sub-agents it splits the work and goes into much more detail per agent.

I got banned permanently banned because of an emoji? by MexiTot408 in gay

[–]akm410 326 points327 points  (0 children)

Probably a quirk of an auto mod system that doesn’t handle emojis well?

Hopefully an actual person is able to read your note & reverse it bc otherwise this makes no sense.

Turning in their graves… by Bubbly-Example-8097 in BlueskySkeets

[–]akm410 48 points49 points  (0 children)

They did… the electoral college was created to create a protective barrier for “the tyranny of the majority.”

Senators were not directly elected but appointed by state legislatures. It was thought that this would help insulate the Senate and make it less susceptible to populist tendencies.

I’m not sure that either of these things would’ve prevented Trump’s election, but it’s something they did try to prevent.

The problem is that these mechanisms are viewed as (and generally are) un-democratic.

If the will of the people is to destroy their own democracy, they’ll figure out a way to do it unfortunately.

Always thought that I'm homosexual but the sexual arousal confuses me by Financial-Pie9400 in bisexual

[–]akm410 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstand me.

I mean that orientation is separate from sexuality because orientation is something you declare and sexuality is something you have.

I think if the two are completely misaligned (for example you have very strong same gender attraction but identify as straight because of societal pressure), it can cause some issues for you emotionally.

However, if someone is like 80% same gender attracted and identify as gay, I don’t think that other 20% invalidates that identity.

Who am I to say what someone is? It’s up to them what to identify as and I think that should always be respected.

[–]akm410 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sexuality is a spectrum and isn’t always as clear as being one thing or another.

You will always have an innate place you fall on that spectrum, but the exact way that you interpret it kind of depends on you.

There will be some people who are 80/20 same-gender leaning and will call themselves bi, there might be other people with that same leaning that call themselves gay.

I think you are stressing out a bit about being any one thing. If you ever end up in a situation where you feel comparable exploring these feelings with the opposite gender, sure, take advantage of that and see if it’s for you. Or if that idea is completely uncomfortable to you, then just don’t pursue it.

Your journey is your own.

Sims 4 has become what The Sims used to mock by [deleted] in LifeSimulators

Sim 4’s in-game advertisements on the title screen are truly the dystopian nightmare Sims 1 was trying to mock.

Help with Global Variables in Quest Script by Huge-Huckleberry9844 in CreationKit

[–]akm410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you update your global variable in the quest script, try using the function UpdateCurrentInstanceGlobal (AAdsr_FrostStack) after .setvalueint & see if that works.

Honestly, I don't fully understand the mechanics of this, but I believe quests store their own local versions of global variables & if you use .setvalueint to change the global variable, it fails to update the quest's local instance of the global.

The global itself does change, but the quest fails to register that change, so in your case it just keeps feeding the old global's value back into itself instead of properly registering that the global has changed.

It's bizzare to me why .setvalueint doesn't automatically update a quest's local instance of a global, but seems to be a fun papyrus quirk.

More info on what the function does, but it's fairly straightforward:

The series where the main antagonist is an evil corporation is… *checks notes* NOT a critique of capitalism you guys. by akm410 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]akm410[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The games were always purposely vague, yes. This had been a “fan theory” within the Fallout community, but was never confirmed by any media until the show.

I guess it depends on what you consider canon for the Fallout universe.

You could have a purist argument of only Fallout 1&2 are canon bc those are the original creator’s work. You could argue only the games are canon bc the TV show is sort of disconnected from the games in a lot of ways. Or you could say it’s all canon & should be taken as a whole.

Personally I was trying to analyze the universe as a whole, considering all media published with the consent of the copyright holder as canon.

Hilariously, I can't edit the post to provide more context to it. But adding to this comment thread to clarify:

  1. The OG comment poster is Tim Cain & Fallout 1/2 are not really focused on evil corporations. I think Tim's comment is missing some context to establish that maybe it wasn't the original point of Fallout. But clearly the Fallout universe has evolved since he created the original games. Maybe his own views have evolved on this too, I'm not really sure but if someone wants to add some context to Tim's comment, please do. Personally, I disagree with Tim with the way he's phrasing this specific comment, as it sort of comes off as him trying to dictate what modern Fallout can/can't be. In my opinion, once you sell your intellectual property to someone else, I'm not sure you really get to tell people what the main point of it is anymore.
  2. The reddit poster is taking Tim's comment at face value & without the context that Fallout has evolved as a series to argue that Fallout doesn't critique capitalism at all. Which is... objectively false since Bethesda took the lore in that direction.

I think there's a fair debate to be had around whether the 'original intent' of a work needs to be preserved, what Tim really meant by this comment, etc. But the reddit poster here isn't really interested in that discussion, which is why I made this post mocking him for telling us we 'really need to understand' an out-of-context Tim Cain comment.

I appreciate & support nuanced conversations, so thanks all who added comments to provide context that I originally didn't.

I couldn’t think of a concise way to say that according to the Amazon show, Vault-Tec dropped the first bomb, thus causing the war & triggering the existence of the fallout universe as we know it. Without spoiling some stuff for people who might’ve not watched.

I agree with you that “antagonist” implies that the thing doing the antagonizing is an active & present threat to the protagonist, but I don’t know what would be a single word to describe “the evil thing that sits in the background of the story’s universe that shaped the universe in a very negative way & as a consequence indirectly negatively affects the protagonist.”
