Is FMHY down? I cannot access it

I’m looking for testers for RMXY-1, an iOS AUv3 performance FX app like Kaosspad / Octatrack performance mixer.

It’s built around XY control, scene-based performance, motion/gesture workflows, and live effect chains.

I’m especially looking for musicians/producers who use iPad/iPhone for live performance, but the app is good for sound design too.

I did this about a week ago, but I really wanted to share it with the sub because it’s not the most obvious Codex use case, and maybe it helps people think a bit more broadly about what it can do.

Around 10 years ago, I lost my iPhone. Young and reckless me had never backed it up to iCloud. The only backup I had was on an old Windows laptop, but by then the laptop was already cooked. All I had left was an SSD backup from that machine.

Somewhere on that SSD was the old iTunes folder, from back when iPhone backups were handled through iTunes. For 10 years, I tried to get those photos back. I downloaded countless recovery programs, followed random blog posts, dug through folders manually, and tried different methods across both Windows and Mac. Nothing worked. I could see pieces of the backup, but I could never actually get to the pictures.

Then last week I had a lightbulb moment: connect the SSD to my laptop and let Codex figure it out. I thought it was a long shot at the time, but if someone could, that is Codex.

Within minutes, Codex found the relevant files and prompted me with a popup asking for possible passwords I might have used at the time.

BAM.

Two prompts later, I had recovered 12 GB of photos and files that I thought were gone forever.

I was, and still am, completely baffled. So thank you, Codex, for recovering a piece of my past.

So I checked Rent Busting my rent in the past but it seems I didn’t qualify

Now that I am leaving, they had a company here check the energy rating, house size, etc and the new rent went down from the current 1,7k to 1,3k

Do I have a leg to stand on with any claim here?

We know that OpenAI is doing whatever it can to save on compute costs. We've seen the model's performance go down over the months after release, become lazier, and dumber in certain tasks.

After this, the next lever to save money has been reducing the contracted limits. And I'm not talking about the x2 promo. The 100usd pro subscription now seems to have the same token allowances than the 20usd had when Codex came out and it is much less than a /2 post promotion.

Now it seems they have introduced a third lever: Speed.

The model now stays thinking for minutes. Even at medium, it feels that the requests are being batched or something.

We asked for a Slow mode, we got a Slow mode, however, with 0 benefits to the user as the token consumption is still the same.

The live enshitification of the service is driving me nuts by now.

I saw a bit on his Patreon where he records his nights at Burning Man and he mentions that the footage during the day is used for another video so he didn't want to spoil.

Which video is it that has the day footage?
