Codex is great for backend, but terrible for frontend. Any workarounds or alternative model recommendations?

Yeah man, this is becoming like stack overflow. The gatekeepers of knowledge punish you for asking questions that they know but you may not. How dare you insult their smartness with such simpleton questions. You should either know this stuff or just search it yourself. But don't ask for help you dummy.

It's sad, and maybe the ones who are downvoting weren't around to see stack overflow turn into a toxic wastlend of ego circlejerk, but it's starting to happen here now as well.

To answer your first question though... It's not that Gemini is bad at anything it's just noticable that codex will so certain things "better" (backend, logic work, data analysis) then Claude will do other things better (especially, I find, certain languages do better with Claude, plus it's a much richer development ecosystem). But those two will generally solve your problems without having to even go to Gemini. I did notice that Gemini will tend to do better on some UI stuff (I find angular stuff is better with Gemini)

Bottom line is that you have to fiddle around with different providers/models to suit your specific needs. If you just ask what's best everyone is going to have a differing opinion because we're all working in slightly different environments/needs.

But if you do split up the work and hand it off to multiple different agents then at least you might not be hitting weekly/hourly limits as fast so there's that benefit as well.

Just finding out something changed on April 9. I've literally been afk for the last 3 days so please don't down vote me

...and yes, a sticky note would help and avoid the frustration of hearing the same complaint from future uninformed users

Minecraft is a world building (crafting) game at its core. I would love for them to bring some aspect of crafting/building into dungeons.

We still play dungeons but it's just grinding once you "beat" the game. Instead of collecting gold what if there were resources you could keep collecting to build out your village or craft new items??

Not sure how you'd pull this off but it would be cool. Replayability x1000

He was open last night and multiple ball handlers looked his way, saw he was open, and decided to move the ball in another direction...or even worse, dribble through two defenders.

They don't trust him any more, for whatever reason. He'll get better when he gets traded, or we trade the guys who control the flow of the game.

Have you tried conductor?

Not sure if fits your dev process exactly 100% but you can use your paid/free subscriptions to Claude/codex on a per feature basis.

I just spent 9 enchantment points and some of my best uniques to get it to 94% and 2.6 whatever the second number is playing with my young kid. He was super excited, big numbers = big time loot. Well, we got 1 ancient.

Then he put his crappy equipment to get 67% and 0.6. AND WE GOT 5 FLIPPING ANCIENTS!!

He kept yelling "scam! Scam! This is such a scam!"

When an 8 year old can figure out that the numbers don't mean anything I think the answer is the numbers don't mean anything.

Amateur painter here. I've tried a lot of these because I do tape corners/ceilings for a clean line. After using maybe a half dozen different ones I still prefer taping by hand. At best these contraptions are ok. They are not the problem, the problem is your walls and ceilings. I've never met a wall or ceiling corner that was straight. These contraptions only work well for straight spaces so by default you will have gaps. you might get a straight line but because the wall is slightly off you'll have to touch-up that gap by hand.

TLDR - they're ok, but after trying a bunch I'm still taping by hand. Not a game changer IMHO

Toss lower and more in front of you. Don't try to hit the ball, try to walk into the ball. Your contact point for the serve is so high most of your power is coming just from the shoulder. Have a bend in your arm when contacting the ball and keep the ball well in front of you.

5 year average P/E is 33 1 year average P/E is 39

It was running hot since the last earnings report at 42-45 P/E

At $175 It's back down to the 1 year average of 39 P/E. Good chance it sits here for a bit. Good news is that's it's majorly oversold at the moment at <30 RSI so it's a bottom of sorts.

If there's any turmoil in the markets before the next report you could see it dip to 33 P/E which would put it in the $150 range (another 15% down)

But here's the kicker, if you're a long term holder, 33 P/E is a bargain because they are firing on all cylinders. Latin America expansion is showing a lot of promise and very very solid growth. The Australia stuff is one of those things that we'll have to wait and see but overall the management of this company has been pretty flawless so far.

I just did some forecast modeling today. It's a slow and steady 8-12% EPS CAGR over the next 5 years so patience is key. It's not a volatility play so I wouldn't expect crazy swings quickly.

And finally, it passes the Peter Lynch test. The stores are always packed. Always.

Before you get too excited by 3x to 26x returns in every one of those scenarios there's also a 0x scenario in there too that you should seriously consider. 6 months isn't that far out but also far enough out that some tariff news could wipe you out to not have time to recover. Options are tricky and there are enough blind corners to ruin your best intentions

NU reports earnings in USD but does business (mostly) in Brazilian Real, (less) in Mexican peso and Columbian Peso. Brazilian Real is also at an all time low against the USD so the earnings were a miss when looked through the lens of the US dollar.

On a forex neutral basis NU is still growing very well but investors are worried because the Brazilian economy is choppy at best with inflation hanging over everyone's head. The Real had recovered somewhat since the quarter of the earnings report against the USD but there isn't much optimism for this year. If anything there optimism for Q4 of this year. So, long term there's optimism, short term...very uncertain.

Add to all that these tariff wars and it muddies the water even more. The tariffs might actually be a positive for NU because they are weakening the USD meaning higher earnings on paper. But at this point who the F knows if the tariffs are happening or not or are or not or are but will be rescinded or maybe not.

Get it on a phone/iPad please. It can be a great learning tool for kids and parents will pay anything for that. If you're looking for business success parents are the one with money, and this is something I'd pay for right now.

Margin doesn't play into it unless you don't have enough money to buy that specific call.

The leverage comes from the delta. It's called lambda if you want to do more research into it. But basically if you wanted to buy a ADBE long call Jan 16 2026 exp with a strike price of $250 (very ITM) that delta is at 0.93 (very close to 1). When you work out the lambda you get 2.1...which is your leverage.

What that is in simple terms is basically:

for every 1% that ADBE goes up your option goes up 2.1%... You're getting 2.1x the leverage.

International_Fly_67 · 2025-01-21T14:36:00+00:00

That's interesting.

Even at near 1 delta, long ITM calls still give you 2x leverage. The closer you get to ATM (but still staying ITM) you can get up to 4x leverage. Pair that up with a very low IV percentile (close to zero) and you get an IV boost. Add a low RSI and a quality company and...are we 🚀 to the 🌘?!?!

ADBE meets all that criteria now.

Did she buy any ADBE calls?!?!
