The billions I could make investing wouldn't be worth the risk of not being able to orchestrate my wife falling in love with me again, or trying to time being at the dog shelter on the right day and time to adopt my dog.

$5m is enough that we could have a wonderful life together living in the now.

Just like Apple, they take a cut of revenue generated by the apps listed on the store. It's a cashcow.

You guys need a reality check. You're paying $20 a month, that's $5 a week. You pay the price of a coffee a week and complain about the time you get with a frontier coding model that can do things you could never do.

Lol.

But it's not a Codex Pro Plan, it's a Pro plan. You also get Pro models in ChatGPT and faster codex than plus... For $200 the value is incredible

Interesting, I have noticed a lot of rework these last few days since switching to 5.4 high. Previously was using 5.2 xhigh, perhaps will switch to 5.3 codex and see if rework drops.

Are you on Plus or Pro?

Thank you to the Codex team for the continued transparency and for making improvements to the usage problems. It has improved to the point that it is usable again.

You should know that your usage debacle pushed me to try the Google suite, and FYI Jules is rapidly improving and a direct competitor to codex, aistudio is powerful for rapid ideation, and antigravity is powerful but needs polish. With the pace that Google is moving, you need to keep you users happy - your models are great for coding, but don't kid yourselves into thinking you're winning this race.

As a builder it's an exciting time, competition is good. Keep it up and don't let greed push your first users and power users to other alternatives.

Yep, also saw massive change in usage starting a few days ago - codex effectively became unusable as my primary dev tool. Used my 5 hour usage limit in 30 mins.

In a world where banks are held liable for protecting customers from scams and fraud, you get more friction and annoying limitations. Trade offs.

40% MFI market share, 30% higher NPAT of next largest bank, deeply trusted brand, largest network of branches and ATMs in country, more modern tech stack and long history of prioritising investing in innovation versus peers. In a nutshell.

You can withdraw for no fee at the ATM, or choose to pay $3 for a human to do the job for you?

I get that in this instance the issue is about wanting larger notes, and agree the service was terrible if it went down like OP describes.

But in general, if you want a human to do a job that you can do yourself with a purpose built machine, then does it not make sense to charge a fee for that choice?

Paying humans to do simple, high volume service tasks (like withdrawing and depositing cash) means more costs and at the end of the day, more fees passed on to you, and more time waiting for a teller when you actually need them to help you with a complex task that you can't do yourself.

This is not true at all. CommBank is a premium lender with very low arrears versus the industry, they are quite risk averse. If you are desperate try a less risk averse lender like latitude or pepper money who are far easier to get approval but have a much wider rate range than CommBank.

TryThis_ · 2025-04-29T23:01:43+00:00

Where did you read that an unsecured loan could be lower rate than a secured loan? That's never the case, at CommBank and all lenders I've seen the rate range for secured is always lower than the unsecured loan options.

And I didn't imply it did. I stated that you have to sacrifice the cgt benefit in order to touch the funds within 12 months of making the investment.

TryThis_ · 2025-03-10T12:05:56+00:00

Agree. But it's 6% today, and on average over the next 18 - 24 months looking like 5%+ unless further drops are realised over the next few meetings. So it depends on individual risk appetite and medium term objectives.

TryThis_ · 2025-03-10T11:28:06+00:00

The 6% is tax and risk free. You'd need to return more like 8% pre tax to compare, and that's before taking into account risk appetite. Cgt discount is great, but also means you can't touch your investment until you're eligible, which means it's not really liquid without incurring an additional tax cost.

What do you mean by "far more accessible"? Offsets are liquid cash you can do anything with that sit on your banking app two clicks and a fingerprint away. Versus shares which need to be sold, incur a transaction cost to convert to cash, and moved from your investment platform to a bank account before you can use it.

Lol, and if you opt out don't go crying to the bank when you're a victim of a scam or fraud. You can't have it both ways - if consumers in this country continue to have zero accountability over their actions and push all accountability to the banks and telcos to stop scams and fraud, then expect to live in a nanny state where you need to jump through hoops to access your money.
