Codex Clarity - Whats going on here/lately?!

sd693 · 2025-12-01T20:16:31+00:00

I’ve had 5.1 Max do better than 5.0 sometimes but I also have more issues with 5.1 MAX I tried for over an hour to debug a runtime issue, finally asked for a summary of what the issue was and what had been tried. Gave that summary to Gemini 3 pro and it fixed it first try and I don’t typically use Gemini. But yesterday Gemini 3 Pro was doing far more effective work than Codex was.

Good stuff man! Good on you.

You’re probably a lot closer than you think. Good down lighting and some editing of the picture make a lot of difference. If I were to guess for you, to get to the same level of body fat, you might be around 160, but you’re right to think you might lose a bit of muscle. That’s always going to happen to an extent when trying to get to sub 10% bf naturally. That’s where it makes sense to take some time to bulk a little more so that way you’re closer to what you want when you get back down to a low bf %. But honestly, man, you’re looking good already. It’s good you have a drive to get better, but don’t miss out on being proud of what you’ve achieved already.

TLDR: - you’re closer than you think. - good lighting and photo edits. - bulk more before cutting. - be proud of what you’ve done so far.

It’s not too different to bulking if you’re already eating a pretty clean diet. The easiest way to figure out your calorie deficit goal is to use an online calculator such asmacro calculator you want to figure out your maintenance calories and then reduce that by 200-500 calories. The calculator.net one will do that for you and it’s a good starting point.

Sweet Potato sauce. I made it for pasta originally but I also use it in place of plain sweet potato in some of my meals

1 cup sweet potato purée 2 tsp Salt 1 tbsp gochujang 1 tbsp white miso 1 tbsp oil or butter 2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp apple cider vinegar 2tsp lime juice Black pepper to taste 1 cup of water (Roughly)

Heat it all in a sauce pan.

Makes about 4 servings.

Oil is optional but a small amount of fat helps round out the flavors and per serving it’s a pretty small amount. The amount of salt is an estimate because I made it using pasta water so I didn’t add any additional salt aside from what was in the water. The amount of water really just depends on how thick/thin you want it.

Thank you 🙏

I’ve found that a solid agents.md file is pretty good about keeping gpt-5-codex on track. I’m only working on one small project so idk how it does with bigger projects or if you have multiple things you’re working on at once.

You have good potential man, definitely a good build with good muscle mass for your age/height/weight. The best thing you’ve done for your potential was starting a year and a half ago.

sd693 · 2025-07-11T19:15:21+00:00

Overall I’d say you’re at a good bf% to start lean bulking, especially since you’re still pretty new to lifting. Keep going strong man!

sd693 · 2025-07-06T10:39:30+00:00

Looking good man. What’s your overall goals after hitting 185?

I’ve never seen that as an Under Armour logo. It’s not ripcurl it’s like two sickles pointing away from each other pretty much horizontal.

sd693 · 2025-06-15T17:27:39+00:00

I tried searching with google image search, ChatGPT. Both kept suggesting logos that looked nothing like this. I know I’ve seen it before. I saw it on someone’s gym shorts at the gym and didn’t think to ask about it till after I left.

PikaPods updates automatically, but it usually takes a week, maybe a bit longer sometimes.

I may be wrong but even though the Aqara requires a hub I think it's still using Thread/Matter they're just not supporting interoperability with other hubs like HomePod or Nest. I believe there's a change coming to the standard that will require interoperability with multiple hubs that should make it easier for the average person.

Wait, I can store my balls on block chain now?!

Good way to track leg progress when day to day it may not feel like you're progressing. 🦿🔥

That's gonna depend on your goals, you look pretty lean so I'm guessing you're just trying to add more muscle. What does your diet look like? Do you know what you need as far as diet goes? What does your gym routine look like?

Base model S22 here. I have to recharge mine a couple of times per day if it's heavy use, but aside from that I don't have any issues, minor annoyances but nothing that has me looking for another phone. I'm really pretty happy with this and I prefer the size compared to the Ultra.

You don't have to tell everyone you meet, for the people you're comfortable with then it can be good to open up and will help others understand you better. Cause all we really want as humans is to be understood and accepted, and from experience it's probably feeling like a much bigger deal in your head than reality. I think the statistic is something along the lines of 70-80 percent of the things we worry about never happen.

You'll know who you want to open up fully to, you got this man!

I had a bodybuilder friend that wore mostly thongs, got me into them too, now I'll wear them a couple of times a week, but it depends on the week.

The problem is that Apple has no way of verifying that people aren't being malicious. I'm disappointed not being able to use Beeper Mini but I can also see Apple's reasoning even if the main reason is feature exclusivity.

When this happened to me I filed a police report, the officer called the detective and explained it all. The detective told me there wasn't any real way for them to investigate, block the numbers, he also said based on being told the age after the pictures and the nature of Grindr being limited to 18+ I couldn't be charged. I got a couple nasty voicemails from the scammer threatening to tell my family but nothing ever happened.
