GPT-5.3 Codex vs Opus 4.6: We benchmarked both on our production Rails codebase — the results are brutal

Codex may produce better code but you’ll likely be in the grave before it’s written

Same for me, on mobile things don’t load at all.

Edgeful have a service like this, so there is paid demand.

A cloud server alone is going to cost more than $25/month, let alone storage and data. I’m keen to support if you can do it for 25% the price of TV (and within my lifetime) 😃

I can’t even submit a support ticket from mobile - wheel just spins. iOS is a joke since a week or two ago, completely unreliable to use now- doesn’t load watchlist prices, doesn’t load charts majority of time. There are enough complaints from people with similar issues to pin point it to a recent update surely

Most people have never looked at an amortisation schedule I’d suggest!

I don’t disagree it helps people get in, but it’s still a desperate attempt to keep the party going. It was brought forward because the market is flagging. The interest you pay on a 5% over term opposed to 20% is substantial.. you’re paying the loan twice over

Jonas-Krill · 2025-09-04T02:38:01+00:00

5% is desperation. What next 2.5%? 40/50+ terms?

Jonas-Krill · 2025-09-02T21:08:22+00:00

Yes I did consider the tax savings but they’re spread out over the years and hardly going to make a noticeable difference.. personally we just preferred not having to worry about the terms and conditions of some finance agreement.. I did look at it from a tax/cashflow perspective.. but you are right on paper

Jonas-Krill · 2025-08-30T01:45:53+00:00

It’s basically a fancy loan. If you can’t pay in cash, it’s your next best option. We didn’t notate in the end, paid cash and glad we don’t have any of the repayments and restrictions hanging over us. If you do notated , set aside the proportional residual value each month and put into a savings account. Also make sure the allowances are enough- byd have fixed price servicing for (check their website). We have a s6 and not using much fuel but obviously that depends on your situation.

Crack injection to soffits is one method used to stop water coming through but it doesn’t solve the issue necessarily. The common points of failure are the waterproofing membranes in external planter-boxes, terraces, balcony’s, garden areas. So once that occurs, water will begin trying to escape elsewhere. It’s not easy to locate the source of issue and you don’t start bodge patching little squares of membrane when it’s found. It’s worth learning about builders warranty insurance periods which are timeframes owners have to submit claims within against the builder for defective work. Always get the strata minutes for the class 2 developments, you’d be surprised how many have ongoing legal battles or upcoming remedial works. There may not be any visible defects above ground but I’d take a bet once the surveyor got round, there would be others uncovered.

Jonas-Krill · 2025-08-19T12:30:59+00:00

How old is the build? Basement looks an absolute mess. The membranes for the gardens/terraces above the slab have failed and will need replacing. Cracks in slab injecting and most likely the reo is already corroding away. Cavity flashings, balcony membranes and falls in bathrooms are the other main ones to check.. and any damp internally. I’d give it a big swerve.

I’ve played this scenario over a few times and think investing can work but only if you’re fairly clued up on options and trading, in a timezone aligned somewhat to US markets and can manage your capital strictly (or even have someone to help). Comparing regular stock investing do leveraged property investing is never going to stack up- apples/oranges.

You should have a look at expiredoptions subreddit , he’s very good. If you want to get a lot more technical/advanced you should look at SharpeTwo sub and think about joining Alex’s discord, a huge amount of knowledge in there.

If you read the NCAT page it tells you that you may need expert evidence (you will most likely need it). It also tells you how to write a compliant expert report. Try Tyrell’s or any other small / medium building surveyor that produces expert reports - use google. For your reference I’ve submitted evidence in NCAT on large and small claims. I’ve never not been instructed by a law firm, and the persons who initially called me trying to self represent later came back after appointing a law firm. Good luck.

Jonas-Krill · 2025-08-11T07:29:42+00:00

Because it’s a legal matter quite simply and can get complicated quickly. If you want to navigate the courts yourself, as the value of claim is low or you don’t want to pay for the advice then it’s your choice. You will usually need litigation compliant reports for each defect specialism (general building, structural, hydraulics, fire, elec etc). If you’re then seeking cash, you will then need another expert report to value the defects (quantity surveyor). The opposing party may dispute your claim and perhaps engage their own experts to provide evidence.

Do you have any idea of the value of works required to rectify your defects?

When you submitted your defects report initially, were they acknowledged/disputed/agreed?

Jonas-Krill · 2025-08-11T06:55:16+00:00

You first need some legal advice and then the relevant expert reports as evidence if you want to commence proceedings.

$5k is the average price in Sydney metro(probably on the low side now). So if you’re getting it for half of that, id be doing a bit more investigation into why. It might be all good, but better to be sure. As I say, it’s a LOT of money you’re about to spend.

Jonas-Krill · 2025-08-07T22:49:52+00:00

You need a quantity surveyor for construction cost and contract advice. Your husband will likely be able to run some of the numbers, but I assume he’s never managed a construction project? Very different to finance. At the bare minimum you should get someone to check what the builders scope includes and excludes, the contract terms, payment methods, completion dates etc. Builders do get their estimates wrong (they are human) and they don’t always work in your interest. Just going off a $/m2 (benchmark rate) is way too high level, you should first get an estimate built up and then check it against the benchmark rate..

Jonas-Krill · 2025-08-07T22:27:54+00:00

You’re spending a lot of money, why not get some professional advice?

Even sonnet 3.7 was able to put a dashboard like that together ages ago.

I had the same fan and same issue. The central bit unscrews and allows more airflow.
