Hii, last week i made a post asking yall whats one app you wish existed for tbay, and the top upvoted comment was for an event site that compiles all the events around thunder bay in one place.

Original Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThunderBay/comments/1ws5072/thunder_bay_whats_one_app_you_wish_existed_bored/?sort=top

So here's what i built for that, Tbay.events . It compiles event details from like 30 different sources and puts it all in one place for yall.

Feel free to check it and let me know if you guys have any feedback

Disclosure, i am affliated with codex zero but this chart is completely unbiased. This just a test i had codex run in isolated env's to simulate avg codex use, across a variety of benchmarks to personalyl be able to make the most out of my usage limits.

As someone who has been religiously using codex with RTK and caveman and felt that i wasn't making things any better. i felt the need to do this to see if i am actually saving any usage by the tools outthere or if i am just making codex dumber and/or worse off with those added on.

Here is codexzero repo if you wanted to check it out

Retro2512/CodexZero: Measured, monotonic, lossless input savings for Codex.

CodexZero — fewer tokens, same task score

Edit : I am currently in the process of refining the benchmark results and will publish the entire artifacts and logs soon in another post or my repo.

What I found even more surprising was that, in every single benchmark I ran Caveman on, it was always more expensive per run than regular Codex.

I guess I’ve been wasting tokens for months now.

RTK does help, but it doesn’t really kick in most of the time. When it does, it sometimes cuts too much from command output, leaving the model clueless about the issue and resulting in lower benchmark scores.

Codex IMO is unrivaled for just coding related tasks, its really good at refactors, understanding what you want and implementing it.

But ask it do anything about UI UX or just any task that requires thinking from a critical angle,or any creative copy writing, GPT models atleast inside codex seem incapable of it (This might be intended, as i suspect the model being served for codex uses a lesser temperature like 0.1 compared to the UI version for better reliable code)

So i used to manually just goto claude when i need to re arrange things, work on user flow, review UX or UI stuff, or plan things,

and then paste the output into codex to actually implement it. (Cuase in my experience, claude nowadays sucks at that part, every single major code edit cuases a thousand errors to fix later, where codex is better at that)

So i just let codex speak to claude whenver it needs a second opinion or help with any creative or critical thinking required task
