Tools Recommendation

I use Codex with the GPT-6 Astra model set to high reasoning for coding tasks. I bump it up to ULTRA when I’m planning development work. Just like before AI, the more thought you put into the planning, the better the end result. So, I guess that is providing a better prompt in the end.

Yeah i'm having issues with tasks that required the AI to input my data and register details. Now it wants me to fill out half the data and it blames itself for not informing me. Annoying as hell. I've found spreadsheet comparisons to be ok in the latest models, never really compared docs so can't...

Which models are you using, just out of interest? I also feel personally attacked by your last statement ...

[WooHooNomad]

I would also say which model you use matters. Some of the dumber models are frustrating but have their uses.

I have sinus problems so my sense of smell is terrible. I also have a bad memory. Going to be hard to test me in the future

Thank you for this. I would want a phone with just has a voice and a big button and no options to play with settings etc . He seems to break things for fun....

[WooHooNomad]

I think it may come to that, actually I will suggest that to him....

[WooHooNomad]

I think there is a market for just a phone with an AI voice on it. Just to do basic things, call people, email, message, directions, prescriptions, etc. My Dad is getting on now and his eyesight is poor and he can barely use his smartphone, probably any phone. It would be good to have a patient AI voice...

Eventually yes, but for now just don't tell anyone....

Have you asked an AI to create them for you?

It's raining here, so I had planned on garden work but now I'm working on sorting out the delivery functionality for an EPOS app....

[WooHooNomad]

Thanks for this, will work my way through the suggestions. Appreciate it.

Sure is. I just always seem to have the wrong tool or bit. For the Garden I've taken your approach and gone for the best I could afford so Stihl brush cutter, hedge trimmer, small chainsaw.

But for the house I really just have tools all over the place. I have a toolbox with a hammer...

I’ve moved into a new house and decided it’s time to do more jobs myself and actually learn how to fix things.

I’ve got some tools, drill bits, screws, etc., but I always seem to have the wrong thing for the job. The wrong bit to take the hoover apart, a chuck that doesn’t fit my...

I use Codex on my Mac mini. On my Windows laptop it’s just not as good. Usually GPT-6 Astra on High, or Ultra for more complex tasks.

I’ve tried different approaches, but what works for me is spending time on a detailed plan. Pointing it at another project really helps, whether that’s...

Midges are awful in the Highlands. Smidge really helps and it's supposed to work with mosquitoes. Worth a try.

On another bug note, managed to get my first tick today, on my stomach of all places....

[WooHooNomad]

Yes same here. Though I have two dogs which is much the same I understand....

Hang about what warnings and does it apply to coffee or cup of soups.?
